Vienna, "il'ith .1 ulv. 11 is confidently stated that the views which were yesterday expressed in f he preliminary discussions were such as to augur a good issue from the Conference. The first sitting of the Conference took place this da} - at noon. London. 2Gth July. Lord Kllenborough called the attention of the House to the changes now perceptible in foreign affairs. He says these changes not only affect the integrity of Denmark—judged to be essential to the peace of -Europe—but even affect the validity of treaties, and the security of secondary Powers, and. above all, the progress of constitutional principles 011 the Continent. Lord F.llenborough does not hope to obtain this result, but believes (hat he ought to call the addition of the Chamber to this matter, because he knows that fondness for quiet, and love of peace, are not. like the love of money, the ti.ll-prevailing-faults of the .English people. rAI! IS ci 1R1! KS CI IX 11K NT. Paris. '25th .Lilv. 1 have received a letter from Vienna which gives ine some indications of what is the subject of (lie negotiations which arc being carried on at Vienna. And first, if would appear that llie question about the Island of Alsen continues to lie the great difficulty. The Danes wish to keep the island, and Germany claims if. In the second place, the question as to the war indemnity oilers ditlicullies, but they are much less serious ones. In line, (he occupation of Jutland may also be ranked amongst the obstacles which delay llie conclusion of a pence. I say the oecupation. but I should rather say the rnteiiofiou. The Panes desire that Jutland j should be immediately evacuated, whilst the German Powers rather incline to think that it ought to be detained as a pledge.
