THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION. PARIS, April 30. It is stated that the King of Holland took the initiative in proposing the conference which is to meet in London. The Etendard of this evening says that, although the negotiations on the Luxemburg question are being carried on without cessation-at Berlin, no point con- nected with the solution of the question, and on which depends the settlement of the time when the London conference shall meet, has, as yet, been touched upon. The same journal states that Italy has made several representations to the Court of Berlin to induce it to satisfy the legitimate views of France. The France of this evening states that the Italian Government has constantly counselled Prussia, in the Luxemburg question, to make concessions of every kind which may be of a nature to facilitate an honourable settlement for all parties. THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. PARIS, May 4. I England is said to have proposed that Belgium and Italy should be represented at the Conference. Austria and Prussia have accepted this proposal, and it is con- sidered probable that it will be agreed to by the other Powers. There is also a question of admitting Holland to the Conference. The Patrie of this evening formally denies the statement of the Post, a Berlin journal, that! the note recently published by the Monitewr was in- serted in consequence of a representation made by Count Bismarck to the French Government with respect to the French armaments. The Patrie says Prussia has never made any representations on the subject of the alleged armaments of France. BERLIN, May 5.
