AUSTRIA.
Vienna, June 22,
Nothing authentic is known respecting the nature of the communications made by the French ambassador to Count Mensdorff. The ''Neve Freie Presse " asserts the following to be an analysis of those communication^ : — " There is no sort of agreement between France and Prussia or Italy whereby France could be compelled to take part in the war. She has preserved her full liberty of action ; and, as regards the Italian question, she will not abandon her present reserved policy so long as the existence of the Italian kingdom in its present limits is not menaced by an Austrian victory. If Austria will undertake that, in the event of her successfully repelling the Italian attack and marching into Italy, she will advance no further than Milan, France will not only not interfere, but will during the negotiations for peace, assist in bringing about a definitive settlement of the relations between Austria and Italy, and the conclusion of a dur-
able peace. She will further propose that Italy shall pay Austria an adequate indemnity for the latter' s renunciation of the fruits of victory." Herr Steiger, the Swiss Charge d' Affaires at this court, is dead.
