Prussians have advanced further into Bohe-
mia The King of Prussia had ordered the
release Of all the Austrian prisoners on Civ
ing their parole not to serve again during
the war.
Severe fighting is reported as having
taken place on the frontiers of Venetia and
Tyrol. The reports were contradictory as
to results. --- rr Ia -r.-rE.-
The old Atlantic cable was tested and
found in perfect condition.
The foregoing advices are the latest via
Queenstown. The news by the steamer d.
rect from Liverpool of older dates-morning
of the 7th-states that the Prussians contin-
ued victorious and defeated the Bavarians at
Dirbock and occupied that town.
The conclusion of an armistice was con-
sidered impossible Public opinion in
Prussia and Italy is strongly adverse to it.
The Paris Temps announces that Prussia
and Italy had accepted the armistiee on the
following conditions: Prussia to retain her
present position, the troops to be supported
by the countries occupied. Austria is not
to increase her armies in the field. Italy is
to occupy one fortress in the quadrilateral.
Italy in reply demanded the occupation OF
two frotresses in the quadrilateral.
The Africa's dates are one day later than
those already received. The Great Eastern
arrived at Shearness ON the morning of the
9Th. The William Carry with shore end of
the cable had anchored at Valentia on the
morning of the 9TH inst. In commercial
circles the announcement of the ceSsion of
Yenetia and the medication of Napoleon was
accepted as almost as conclusive evidences
of peace. .
The excitement on the London Stock Ex-
change on the 18th was great, and especially
with regard to Italian securities, which adj
vanced largely. English securities were
kept down by the maintenance of the bank
rate, LOG cents. On the Paris Bou=se rsntes
advanced 4 per cent, making a total of 81
per cent within few days
On the 9th the sanguine hopes were not
only realized, but commenced gradually
melting away.
The Minister of Police at Berlin has an
nounced that the proposals for an armistice,
proposed by Gen. GABLINTz, have been de-
clared.
The Florence journals consider the Aus
trtan proposals inadmissable. They regard
the cessoin of Venetia as a stratagem for
Austria to resume hostilitiea against Italy.
They declare that Italy will not lend herself
for such purposes. The eession of Venetia,
with view TO its subsequent cession to Italy,
would be violation of national right and
submission TO a foreigner. Italy will owe
Venice to her arms alone.
The Moniteur of the evening of the 9th
contains no official announcement.
The Patrie says the Prussian reply to the
proposal for an armistiee has not yet been
received. The delay is said to have arisen
from the distance of the headquarters in
Bohemia. II is believed in official circles
in Berlin that the armistice can only be ac-
cepted after provisional settlement of the
principal basis Of the negotiations for peace.
Prussia will demand the occupation of the
whole of Bohemia and the evacuation by
Austria of the FOrtresses of Kaneggratz,
Josephstadt, and Reiestadt.
The King OF Italy has replied to the EN-
peror of the French, thanking him, and adj
ding that he was about to enter into imme-
diate communication with the King of
Prussia.
The Paris correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette says: 1t is quite a mistake to sup
pose that Austria placed herself at the the
mercy Of France when the proposition is 70
cede Venitia. She knew before hand what
she was to get as compensation.
1t is said that previous to the battle
of the Sd the Austrian Government had
already requested the Emperor of the
French to bring about an armsstice between
Austria and Italy, in order to render it pos
sible for Austrian troops in Italy to join the
army of the North
The Emperor of the French is willing to
meet the wishes of the Austrian Govern
ment, and is DESTROYS to see peace once more
established in Europe. He even went fur
ther, and without being directly or indi-
rectly requested so to do by the Austrian
Cabinet, offered his good Office to effect an
armistice between Austria and Prussia. The
offer was accepted by the Austrian Govern
ment.
The London Times, of the 9TH, says there
is too much reason to fear that hostilities
will be resumed in both theatres of war. If
so, Austria will be unable to withdraw any
number of troops from Yene-
tia, and unless sheltered by the armies of
France, may soon be compelled to have
terms of peace dictated by Prussia in her
own capital, The Times states that the
Austrians are strengthening at Raniga.
A dispatch of the 9th from the Italian
headquarters says: It was considered expe-
dent to deprive the Austrians of the tete-
dupont at Bargeardf, on the right bank of

ween the Prussians and Bavarians near

ng VIGOROUSLY.

lie Of the Sd, are estimated at 1000, and Ill
,uns were captured. The losses sustained
