THE INTERNATIONAL PLOTTING. The determination of the government is due to the discoveries made by the police of secret operations of the Igternational Society among the officers and men compofing the National Guard. IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES. The additional evidence elicited during the ‘trial of the Communists has disclosed the fact that many of the officers of the National Guard are emmissaries of the International. The mutinous spirit of the men is ready at any amoment to break cut into open revolt. A OONSPIRACY.

A Satisfactory Solution Arranged with the Roumanian Government. The German Bondholders Com- pensated. TELEGRAM TC THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following despatch has been received from our correspondent at the Austrian cap- ital :-— Vienna, August 24, 1871, A satisfactory solution of the Roumanian difficulty has been arranged at Gastein by Prince Bismarck and Count Beust with the government of Roumania. Thus all further political complications about this question will he avoided. THE BONDHOLDERS INDEMNIFIED, The German and Austrian bondholders of the Roumanian Railway will be indemnified by a new loan issued by the Roumanian govern- ment, and guaranteed by Austria ond Prasaia, History of the Roum: lan Difficulty. One of the frst acts of Prince Charles I., after his accession in 1865, was to devise plans whereby to furnish the country a complete network of rail- roads, and thereby to provide the means of develop- ing the immense agricultural riches which were lying dormant. Bucharest, Jassy and Galatz, the principal cities of the Danubian provinces, were to be connected with tne great trunk lines of Western Europe. The plans were devised in a manner to create a continuous line from the Danuve—Galatz and eventually Odessa—to the Baltic and the ports of the North Sea, The necessary capital for building & large section—i, ¢., about five hundred miles—was guaranteed by capitalists at Berlin, and to these capitalists concessions for a term of ninety-five years’ duration were granted, the State of Roumania undertaking to pay to the bona- holders interest at the rate ot seven and a half per cent so soon as the roads would be partly or wholly open for public traffic. The payment of that interest, or, to speak correctly, the uon- payment of the coupons due January 1, 1871, formed the immediate, cause of the present diniculty, At the time when the question of conceding tue road to Prussian capitalists was firs. mooted the proposition was violently op,osed. The people thought it involved an attempt to “Germanize” the country, or, af all events, to place them under a sort of tuteage of Germany. The representatives of the people refused to ratily the act of the Executive,and consequent thereon the Assembly wus disso.ved. New elections took place, and the incoming repre- sentatives, more docile than their predecessors, were induced to ratify the pact ito whch the goverament haa entered with the Prussians, ‘Ihe roa! was taken in band and a portion handed over to the public traffic, but the representatives of the ‘public refuse now to pay the bondholders, of re- mined to follow up by severe punishment—naamely, to coufiscate the whole property belonging to tn bondnotders, and to drive the Prussiaus irom tue country. Both Houses of Representatives passed a bill to that effect, and Prince Charles was, as it were, forced to ratliy the biil, The con- cession, ag stated above, involves about four hundred miles of road, the contract price per mile being about $90,090. It has been alleued that the contract price is enormous; that the con- tractors have enriched themselves largely; and, finally, that the country is too poor to pay interest on such an enormous outlay, since the revenue to be derived from it cannot excees two and @ haif or three per cent lor years to come. From the toregoing tt will be seen that atout thirty-two millions belonging to Prussian capitalists are at stake, GERMANY AND AUSTRIA, English Alarms About ths Gastein Conference. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALO, Lonpon, August 24, 1871, The Echo of to-day has a despatch trom Vienna, to the effect that the overtures made by Prince Bis- marck to the Austrian government aim at more than the settlement of the Roumanian railway dim. calty.

The Senator, unfortunately, ‘was under the weather. He sprained his ankle the day previous, and instead of being able, when his German friends iast night came along to greet him with stirring instrumental music and sweet songs in the language of Fatheriand, to make one of his pithy, characteristic speeches; he was forced to pow his thanks oy proxy. His friends, however, were determined that he should hear the music, even hough ho coaid not speechify, and so his bed was wheeled ciose to one ortne raised Windows of his residence facing Chari- ton street.
