Prussia aud Austria.

PARIS Aug. A.-La Patrie, semi-oflicial
organ says there exists at Vienna Prussan
party, encouraged and paid by Won Bismarck.
Said party, who played the odious role fof 1866,
has control of some of the Vienna journals,
and since the recent successes of Prussia has
endeavored to persuade Austria to act favorably,
making handle of the well-known sympathy
of Hungary for France. The Austrian Govern
ment, however, have resisted these overtures
thus far, and WILL no doubt, maintain a friendly
neutrality. The Pdt'ie denies the story that by
Austrias withdrawing her corps of observation
Prussia has beeu enabled to use troops that che
could not otherwise have moved.
VIII France be Republican,
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The Times recognizes the
fact that the determination of the French Corps
Legslatif in favor of self-government will be
irresistible hereafter, should the Emperor fail.
Prussia and Bavaria.
Prussia has sent Bavaria ten millions in gold
as a subsidy.
Prince Napoleon's NlIssion
to Italy Is ridiculed as untimey and prohtless.
The French BIockaains Squadron
at the mouth of the Elbe has rcfrained from
acting on the offensive.
Cuxhaven
is ceasing to be an agreeable watering place.
1t is a strong place naturally, and has besides
been greatly fortified.
The proposition made by the Paris Figaro for
placing electric lights on the Paris fortihcations
seems to meet with favor. The military autho-,
rites think the idea good one, as the dazzle of
the lights will perplex the besiegers and aid the
besieged.
The Orleans Party
are very hopeful. The Princes here watch
events closely, and an agent of great skill and
experience, who is in Paris, advises them of
every event affecting their interests there
The Moving of wesudsd. sss Rrnss'"n Dead and
The question of transportation home of the
Prussian dead and wounded through the neutral
States OF Holland, Belgium, aud Luxembourg has
assumed some importance. 1t was stated at first
that the neutral great powers had asked this
privilege of the Governments of Holland and
Belgium, but it seems now the request origi-
mated with Prussia herself. Holland has refused,
and Belgium has replied that such consent on
her fpart would undoubtedly be construed by
France as equivalent to an act of hostility.
France Fall OF Fight Yet.
PARIS, Aug 24.-Ld Pdtlie of to-day says-
Should the Prussans defeat the great army
now confronting them neari Chalons, they will
have to vanquish another before reaching Paris.
Besides, they will find Paris itself amply pre-
pared to resist an attack.
1t is noticeable that the people here are grow
ing more and more confident as they learn how
great the measures of defense are throughout
the country. The false dispatches published in
London Times create intense indignation here
among all classes. One great effect of these
dispatches is to increase the determination of
the French to fight.
The Garde Mobile
and sharpshooters camped around Paris are
constantly drilled and exercised by competent
officers.
Russia has Word 10 Say.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. .24.--The st. Petersburg
/ Journal denies that Russia is committed to pre-
vent the dsmemberment of France, as has lately
been published She is, however, certainly un-
favorable to that measure, but regards the agita-
tion of that question as premature.
