Full Text

By a Hamburg mail it is received of a treaty of defensive alliance having been let between Austria and Prussia, for the double purpose it may be of extinguishing those jealousies formerly rendered them individually weak and vulnerable to a third party, and of affording mutual protection against the designs of France and Russia. This is likely to become cordially united.

The Hamburg papers says that the 700,000,000 francs of contributions which France is to pay to the allies, will be liquidated by instalments of 140 millions annually, thus completing the whole payment in five years. A sum of 130 millions is likewise fixed as the charge of subsisting for 5 years, the 160,000 allied troops which are to remain in France. The claims of the confederates, arising out of the non-execution of the treaty of Paris, are to be settled at the end of five years, interest at the rate of three per cent. being meanwhile paid on the amount.
