New YoRK, june 25-Additional for
eign intelligence presents points Of imnor-
lance. The London Times, Of the 18th,
says tho diplomatic rupture between Prus-
aia and Austria is now complete. The
Austrian Minister had demanded his pass
port, and was to have left that day. Such
q contamination was to be expected after
the correspondence which had passed be-
tween the two governments during the
last few days.
The dispatch Of Count Bismarck went
beyond every such document in discount
esy, invectve and provocation, and it has
been replied to by Count Menzdorff in
more guarded style, but in language which
shows offended pride and uncomfortable
resolution. The Austrian Minister for
Foreign Affairs makes solemn protest
against the proceedings In Holstein and
the statement, by which 1t has been at
tempted TO justify them. He declines all
responsibilities for consequences, and de-
clares that for months Prussia has taken
up position which endangered the for
mer settlement. In conclusion, Count
Menzdorf reserves to the Imperial Gov
eminent the right of taking such steps as
may be found necessary, SINCE nothing re-
mains for Austria but to defend her honor
and guard her rights from contempt.
The portentous intelligence that Carl
baldi has reached Como is announced.
Here was the scene Of his former brilliant
exploits.
The letter of Napoleon to his foreign
Minister was read on the 18th. He says
had the conference met, that France could
have repudiated all idea of territorial ag-
grandizement so long rs the European
equilibrium remained undisturbed, much
preferring good understanding with her
neighbors to any territorial acquisitions.
France would have desired for the Ger
manic Confederation more worthy posi-
ton, for Prussia better geographical bound
aries, and for Austria the maintenance of
her great position in Europe after the ces-
sion of Venetia to Italy, in exchange for
territorial compensation. Though the
con ference has failed, the Emperor thinks,
he will not have to draw the sword, but
will continue to observe an attentive neu-
trality.
The letter was received with loud cheers
by the members, and, on the suggestion Of
M. Rouher, the Cham ers, by large ma
.iority, decided against entering on the de.
bate upon the affairs Of Germany and
Italy.
The German Diet, by vote of nine to
ak, resolved TO mobilize the Federal
army. The Prussian member protested
against the form of the decision of the
Diet. Austrla's representative insisted on
the indissolubility Of the Confederation,
and the Diet voted adherence to the Aus
TRAN Diet declaration.
1t was rumered that Austria had de-
clared war, but the latest advices do not
confirm this.
The Emperor Of Austria on the 18th, in
a speech, said that he had done everything
else and now would have to resort to the
sword.
New YoRK, June 25.-The Fenian gath
ering at Jones's Woods yesterday, COM
prised ten thousand persons. Stephens
