The last Austrian note to the Prus- sian cabinet, was accompanied by a private communi- cation to the Emperor's Ambassador at Berlin, in ‘which iseaid to be expressed the pacifie intentions s Austria affers to discontinue her armaments, if Prussia will do the some. No definitive answer has, however, at Present been given, as the Prussian Minister wished torfurther deepatches from Frankfort.

Caracas, Nov. 8, 1850. Meeting of the Electoral Colleges— The result as be- Sore reported, &c., Se. The electoral colleges of the several provinces assembled, and gave their votes for President, on the first of October, as the law directs. The whole number of votes to be given were 343. For achoice of President 229 were necessary. General Jose Gregorio Monagas obtained 201 votes; Senor An- tonio Leocadio Guzman, 65 votes; Estanislao Rendon, 30 votes; Jose Ruiz, 16 votes; Jose Var- gas, 1 vote; A. Navarte, 1 vote. No returns have been recéived from{Guayama, which proviace is entitled to 10 votes; 19 of the electors were absent, and consequently lost their votes. Should the college of Guayama cast their entire vote for Monrgas, he would not obtain a constitutional majority by 13 votes, as it requires a two third vote to elect the President. The matter now goes to the Congress, which is to meet on the 20th January, 1551. That body must elect the President from the three candidates which obtained the largest number of electoral votes—Monegas, Guzman, and Randon; and the one who bribes the highest wil! be elected. Gene- ral Jose Gregori had the advantage of the in- fluence of J jio Monagas, his brother, the resent President, in the late elections. Guzman is the Vice President, and, should the election not take place on the first day of the meeting of Con- grees, (Jan. 20,) the functions of the President will cease on that day, and the Vice wiil exercise those functors Unul & Presiaens is leewed.
