PARIS, November rs, p.m,-The EN-
perors Of Russia and Austria have
formally signifed their intention Of
participating in the proposed conference
for the settlement Of the Roman ques-
ton, as suggested by Napoleon; as have
also nearly all the smaller powers of
Europe. The course that Prussia may
pursue in the matter is not officially
known, but it is believed she will send
representatives.
The note recently sent from Great
Britain on the subject is accepted here rs
a mere formal objection. The Pope is
known TO oppose in advance any action
OF the Conference which includes the
rights he now enjoys, and particularly
any plan divesting him OF the temporal
power.
patches have been received which state
that the illness of Gen. Gsribsldi was
caused by the harsh treatment Of him
by the Italian prison officials, who took
that course with a view Of driving him
to the United States or out OF the
country.
