BERLIN, August 9.-The Leipsic Groe,
bater, supposed to be inspired by Prince
Bismarck, saysa supposed dispute has
arisen between Austria and England re-
garding the navigation OF the Danube.
Austria, 1t says, proposed the formation OF
a permanent commission for the Riparian
States under Austrian presidency, for
the control OF the river between Galdtz
and the Iron Gates. England is opposed
to the plan, urging that such commission
should consist only OF representatives
Of the States bordering on the lower DAN
ube. Germany supports Austria. The
British ministerial papers attribute impor.
tance to the statement in consequence ol
Gladstone's hostility to Austria.
