Rumored Alliance Betwcen France and
Austria.
correspondent, writing yesterday from Paris,
says: 81 am able to state on very good authority
that negotiations are now going on with great
secrecy between France and Austria, with the OBJ
Governments that may lead to a definite under
standing, and eventually to an alliance between
them. The channel by. which the negotiations
are conducted is kept strictly secret. Even Prince
Metternich seems to be personally inactive in this
matter; he has been left out as tpe,i habe ct peu

paly carried on by Count Mulinen, the 'Lega-
tionsrath' of the Austrian embassy in Paris.

In the embassy for twelve years, thoroughly un-
derstands the French Government and enioys
the confidence of the Emperor Napoleon he has
now been staying at Vienna for some time On
the part Of France, the negotiations are believe
conducted by Count de Mosbourg, who occupies a
similar position in the French Embassy at Vienna
as Count Mulinen in the Austrian Embassy at
Paris. will only add that the success of these
negotiations would be very agreeable both to the
French nation and M. Drouyn de Lhuys. who are
both strongly in favor Of Austria"

dinfa.
The King Of Italy yesterday requested the as
distance OF France against Austria, Offering the

Government upon the Roman question.
The London Times says the movements OF Mar
shal Benedek are still wrapped in mystery. His
plans and motions defy the effor ts of the bodest
conjecture. Whatever his hidden schemes NAV
be, and however marvellous may be the material
results to be expected from 1t, it will hardly coun-
terbalance the immense moral advantage which
Prussia has secured for herself by her rapid
movements, putting her in less than a week At
the head OF the whole Of Northern Germany, and
placing i'll her hands the resources of a territory
containing population Of 28, ,00O 900.
