VIENNA, July 6.

According to every information, our Court, in adopting provisionally the Convention concluded in Italy, has answered the propositions of the French Government; "That his Majesty had never been averse to concluding with the French Republic an honorable, and solid Peace, tending to promote the welfare of the States sinking under the pressure of war, of which France had received repeated and sincere assurances; but that his Majesty would fail in his object if he made a separate Peace. He therefore leaves it to the French Republic to make propositions for a general Peace, in which the Crown of England shall be included."

It is also said, that in this declaration he has protested against the establishment of the Cisalpine Republic, because the districts which had been previously annexed to it are necessary for the security of the States of the Emperor; and besides, that the stability of several Provinces would become very uncertain by the establishment of the Republic.

A courier was sent with this answer to Gen. Berthier who had made the proposition, and couriers were also immediately dispatched to the Courts of London and Berlin, to inform them of the resolution of our Court.
