PEACE PRELIMINARIEs.
The following version of the preliminaries of
peace now under consideration at Vienna, is said
to be accurate:
Prussia to annex the Elbe Duehies, the southern
part Of Hanover and Electoral Hesse, so as to
establish large and easy communication between
the whole of her territories
All the States to the north of the Main to form q
confederation, of which Prussia should have the
perpetual presidency, which she should represent
abroad, and Of which the military forces, organ
lied in the same way as her own army should be
placed under her command.
The States to the south of the Main to be at lib
erty to form among themselves distinct confed-
Grafton, to which Austria, by reason of her Ger
man territories, should be admitted
Should these two considerations think fit to es-
tabsh relations between each other for affairs
common to beth by means of a reunion of Pleni-
potentiaries OF Diet, the presidencyto belong to
Prussia, and the votes to be arranged as to give
nm to the Northern Confederation and six to the
Southern.
Austria to preserve the whole of her terrtorS,
with the exception of Yenetia, which would be
handed over to Italy.
Austria to pay to Prussia a war indemnity of
200 600 francs, but in this sum would be con
sidered the portion of the Austrian debt which
Italy would take upon herself by reason Of the
eession of Yenetia.

Peace, one may say, is probable but the stock

is q large army at Vienna. The emperor will sub.
init to much for the sake of peace. On the other
hand, Prussia would risk something by continuing
the conflict. s.,.--s.

is not to be supposed that Prussia and Italy will
be allowed, aided, if you please, to gain SO npch
without some gain to France. The present popu,
laTfty of the emperor, the aeclanlations we read
of in the streets of Paris and in the theaters are
testimonials of. lively gratitude for fayors to
come. France wants peace and the prosperity Of
peace, but she is; by no means nsensible to glory
The emperor means to have peace in Europe fOl
the exposition of 1857, but he will not lose sight
of the place France should occupy in Europe, OIL
rof what may be Repaired to maintain the balance
of power in face of aunted Germany and united
Italy.

Iloudon, last night, had a narrow escape from a
serious riot. The reformers who called meeting

IT, Sir Richard Mayne placed himself at the head
OF some 1900 policemen, horse and foot. There
were troops at the barracks on the southern border
of the park, ready to support the police. The
procession marched to the middle arch, demand
