Prussian troops are said to have entered the Electorate, and the intervention is patient., But am still not driven from my conviction; expressed in a late letter, that the strew will be settled without; &rant war between Anstria and Prussia. In liett of the nee-intervention first prescribed by Prtiasitt the twoleading Powers will efect in concert a joint intervention. At any rate, their respective forces; will not proceed to open hostilities till after the con ference at Warsaw, at which the Prussian Prime Minister will meet with the Emperor of Russia and Austria. At Berlin the belief is still entertained that the Governments of Vienna and Berlin will arrive at an amicable solution.
