1t is fully confirmed that Austria, Prus-
sia, Italy, and the German Diet will be re-
presented in the Conference by their men,
bers. The time of meeting is not yet fixed,
but Clarendon, Gortscbakoff, Bismark, and
La Marmora had officially announced that
they would shortly arrive in Paris.
1t is stated that Napoleon Will preside
with Drouyn de rHuys as second plenipo-

There are rumors of an understanding, il
not an alliance, between Austria and Rus

ed that Austria is at present suffering from the
troubles that always beset nation IN times OF
defeat. The Emperor finds his Cabinet con.
stantly quarrelling, and the difficulties caused
by the many jealousies of races. that the Aus
trian Empire has always felt, are now fncreas-
ed tenfold. No sooner is one quarrel appeased
than a worse one breaks out. Austrian finan.
ces, too, are in bad condition. The Govern
