Aurlens, at Paris, have done to-day n
good work.

Arrival of the steamer Africa.
HALIFAX, July 1s.-The Africa, ar

Liverpool, June 7th, UiG Queenstown,
Sh.-The latest advices state that Prus-
STA and Italy have accepted the propo-
sal for an armistice. The PruSsiuns,
however, had advanced further into
Bohemia. Heavy cannonading had
been heard on the afternoon of the 7th,
in the direction of Konigrattz. It was
supposed the Prussians were attacking
the fortress.
a Vienna telegram says there is a
good prospect of an armistice for six
weeks. HOstilities have not been re-
sumed. The Austrian army OF the
North continued their retreat without
molestation. The Prussians have ad-
vanced further into Bohemia.
The King of Prussia had ordered the
release of all the Austrian prisoners on
giving their parole not to serve again
during the war.

taken place on the frontiers of Venitia
and Tyrol. The reports were contra
uictory as to the results.
The old Atlantic cable was tested and
found in perfect condition.
The foregoing advices are the latest
via Queenstown. The news by the
steamer is direct from Liverpool, but
of an older date.
On the morning of the 9TH, the Prus-
SLAMS continued victorious, and defeat
ed the BaVarianS at Dermbach and &C.
cupied that town. The conclusion of
an armistice was then considered i'm
probable.
Italy is strongly adverse to it.
The Paris Tempes announces that
Prussia and Italy had accepted an ar
mistice on the following conditions:
Prussia is to retain her present po-
sition, her troops to be supported by
the countries occupied. Austria is not
10 increase her armies in the field.
Italy is to occupy one fortress in the
quaderilateral.
Italy, in reply, demanded the occu-
patton of two tOrtresses in the Quaderi-
lateral.
Her dates are a day later than those al
ready received. The Great Eastern ar
rived at Bearheaven on the morning of
the 5th int. The VIM. Carey, with the
short end of the cable, anchored at VAL
entia on the morning of the 9TH inst.
In commercial circles the MOniteur's
announcement of the cessiOn of Venitia
and the mediation of Napoleon was ac-
cepted as almost conclusive,
The excitement on London stock ex-
change on the 5th inst, was great, and
especially with regard to Italian securi-
ties which largely advanced. English
securities were kept down by the main
tenance of Bank rates at 10 per cent.
On Paris Bourse the rates advanced 4
per cent, making n total raise of 6% per
cent within few days while the Ital-
ian stock advanced II per cent in two
days. On the 9th the sanguine hopes
were not only not realized, but COM
menced gradually melting away.
The Minister of Police ut Berlin has
| announced that the proposals for an mr.
| meStice presented by General GableuZ
| have been declined.
Tho French journals consider the
Austrian proposals inadmisable in re-
gard to the cession of Venitia as en-
| abling Austria to resume hostilities
against Italy. They declare that Italy
| will not lend herself to such a proceed
ing. The cession of Venitia to France
with view to its subsequent cession to
Italy would be a violation of national
| right and submission to foreigners.
Italy will bring Venitia 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 armistice has not
been received. The delay is said to
have arisen from the distance of the
headquarters in Bohemia, which were
| yesterday advanced several points. 1t
| is believed in official circles in Berlin
that an armisti%e can only be accepted
after a provisional settlement of the
nrinHInDI h0RiR nf naDnTi0fiNn
Prussia will demand the occupation
of the whole of Bohemia and the evac-
uation by Austria of the fortresses of
"kanigratZ," JOsephstadt and Theris-
| tenstadt.
The King of Italy has replied to the
Emperor of France thanking him, and
adding that he was about to enter into
immediate communication with the
King of Prussia.
The "La France" asserts that the
cession of Venitia was made uncondi-
| Iional.
A Paris correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette, is quite mistaken to sup
pose that Austria placed herself at the
mercy of France. when proposing to
Cede Venitia, and she knew before hand
what she was to get as compensation.
The Weiner Abend Post, says that
previous to the battle of the Sd, the
/ Austrian government had already re-
bring about an armistice between Aus
tria and Italy, in order to render it pos
sible for the Austrian troops in Italy 10
join the army in the north. The EN-
peror of the French, willing to meet
the wishes ofthe Austrian government,
and DESTROYS to see peace once more
established in Europe, even went
further, and without being directly or
indirectly requested so to do by the
Austrian cabinet; also offered his good
offices to effect an armistice between
Austria and Prussia. This offer was ac-
cepted by Austria.
The London Times OF the 9TH saws ::
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 considerable
number of her troops from Venitia,
and unless sheltered by the armies of
France, will soon be compelled 10 have
terms of peace declared by Prussia,
in her own capital.
The Times remarks that it is difficult
to believe that either Italy or Prussia
will ultimately repel the pacific over
lures of Emperor Napoleon, especially
if it should be supported by England,
sooner or latter, without sacrificing n
single soldier or imposing the slightest
burden on France, the Emperor will
probably find himself again arbitrator
of Europe. It is position which 10y
