proves of the transaction.

she has appointed the Marquis de Poppeli
| Commissioner of the Government to trans
| act the negotiations relative to the anneXa-
ton of Venetia to the Kingdom of Victor
Emanuel.
| Great activity prevails in the French ar
| senals. New experiments with the Needle
gun, to which arm the Prussian victories
| are attributed, are being made ut Vincen-
! mes. The public generally do not believe
in peace, and look upon the Intervention
of France, now directly interested in the
contest, as inevitable. ....

Prussia and Italy Accept the
Armfstico ON Conditions.
The Paris Temps announces that Prussia
and Italy had accepted the armistice on the
following conditions: Prussia to retain her
present position, her 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.

of two fortresses in the Quadrilateral.
The Minister of Police at Berlin has an
nounced that the proposals for an armistice
proposed by General GobleDz have been
declined. The Florence journals consider
the Austrian proposals inadmissable. They
regard the cession of Venetia as strata
gem for Austria to resume hostillties against
Italy. They declare that Italy will not
lend herself for such purposes. The cession
of Venetia, with view of its subsequent
cession to Italy, would be a violation of ma
tional rights and submission to foreigner.
Italy will owe Venice to her arms alone. !,
The MOniteur Desoire of the evening of
the 9Th contains no official announcement.
The Patrie says the Prussian reply to the
proposal for an armistice has not yet been
received. The delay is said to have arisen
from the distance of the headquarters in
Bohemia, which were yesterday successive
ly advanced several points.
1t was believed in official circles in Berlin
that the armistice can only be eaccepted after
provisional settlement of the principal
basis of the negotiations for peace. Prus-
sia will demand the occupation of the whole
of Bohemia and the evacuation by Austria
of the tortresses of Kaniggratz, Josepbstadt
and Tharesienstadt.
The King of Italy has replied to the En-
peror of the French, thanking him, aud
adding that he-was about to enter into i'm |
mediate communication with the King of
Prussia.
La France asserts that the cession of We |
netia was made Internationally.
The Paris correspondent OF the Pail Mall |
Gazette says it is quite mistake to sup
pose that Austria placed herself at the |
mercy Of France when proposing to cede |
Venetia. She knew beforehand what she |
was to get as compensation.
The Weimer- Absend Post says that pre- |
vious to the battle of the Sd inst, the Aus |
trian Government had already requested |
the Emperor of the French to bring about |
an armistlce between Austria and Italy, in |
order to renderit possible for the Austrian |
troopsin Italy to join the army ofthe North |
The Emperor of tho French, willing to |
meet the wishes of the Austrian Govern |
ment, and deslrous 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 ar
mistice between Austria and Prussia. This |
offer was accepted by the Austrian Gov
ernment.
