THE NEGOTIATIONS At VIENNA,
The negotiations ut Vienna ought to be,
according to the scni-ofhc!al announce
.ncnts on the subject. completed this cay or
week, as informed Jou, on the matter of the
sum to be paid by Italy. Prussia was Obliged
to intervene again and inform Austria that
Bohemia wonld not be evacuated until the
Venetian aaair should be definitely settled.
Austria hes to pay Prussia and wants to get
the money from Italy for the purpose, and
as Bohemia will be held in pawn for the
money, tie Vienna Cabinet has now mo-
tive for prompt notion. The delay has been
very, prcludiciat to the public spirit Of Italy,
and has kept oliye harmful agitation on
the subject. There are people who believe
that Austria has hoped to renew the war In
VeEetia and has waited for such demonstra-
ton as her friends are now making In Sicily.
The enemies Of italy bare timed their ope-
rations very badly. They had a conspiracy

always bungle With opposition tools. They
have never learned how to use them.
! TIE UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA.
It is generally believed In Europe that the
United Statcs and Russia mean to mike mis-
chief, or rather TINT the United States does.
1t is hinted obscurcly that Russia has drawn

Eastern question according to Russinn aspi-
rations, and that the affair ia to come Oh
next year. It Is nonsense, Of course, hut 1t

alliance. The sympathy of Russia can do

J THE ROMAN QUESTION.
We have had two exciting stories abou
, the Roman question IN the last week. Th
take the rlac. Of the French troops. Th
is altogether Misrepresentation. Il Is tru
f that Spain has tried every means to sccur
the consent Of France to such IN arrang,
ment, but the Emperor declines the propt
sition. 1t Is possible, however, that If put
: lie opinion should at all favor 1t, a large 70
unteer Spanish army Of occupation may t
attempted. France has set the example
furnishing such legion, and there Is nothin

Some people believe that this is Napoleon
' plan-to have French. Austrian aud Spanis
volunteers take the place Of his troops.

The other rumor Is thnt England offers Il
Pope the Island Of Alaita, and that the off
