AUSTRIA AN!) ITALY.

A Vienna letter in the Coh;lliteGazette states
that the Austrian army in Italy can easily be
increased to 280,000 men, and that the new
General-in-Chief and the Generals under his
orders are to take possession of their command
without delay.
At Trieste, according to a despatch in the Ost
Deutche Post, the Italian Party considers the
grant of a new Constitution as a symptom of war.

THE ROMAN STATES.

The Perugia Gazette states that emigration

from Viterbocontinues on so large a scale that
even the clerical party are frightened at the
magnitude of the demonstration. The emigrants
have signed an address to the Emperor of the
French, in which they state they have left their
native town in order not to have the, grief of
Witnessing the restoration of priestly misgovern.
ment by the flag of Solferino.

FRANCE AND S WITZERLAND.
BERNE, Oct. 28.
The Federal Council, yesterday, replied in a
verbal note to the demand of the French Government
regarding the affair of the flag of Sion. Before
the annexation of Savoy and' Nice to France, no
vessels hoisting foreign colours ever landed on
the Swiss shores, and maintained the theory ex-
pressed in a former despatch in reference to inter
national offences. •

THE PONTIFICAL PRISONERS.
The official Gazette maintains that the Pontifical
prisoners are treated with generosity and kind-
ness.

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.
The Moniteur also says, the Opinion Nationale
published a note which it was asserted had been
communicated by the. Austrian Embassy at Paris
to the correspondents of certain journals. We are
enabled to give a denial to the source which has
been attributed to this document, and to declare
in the most formal manner that it rests upon
premises entirely destitute of foundation.
The Herald says that at a kind of revolutionary
levee held by Prince Napoleon, on Thursday, and
which was numerously attended by Hungarians,
Poles, and Italians, His Imperial Highness is
reported to have said that he was empowered to
affirm that if Austria should attack Italy, France
would immediately declare war against her.

policy of every State being intimately connected
with its exterior policy, Austria will fulfil with
sincerity the reforms announced by the diploma
of the 20th of October. 2. Notwithstanding the
complications in Italy, Austria will maintain her
line of defensive policy. The present armaments
and concentrations of troops in Venetia have no
other object than that of repelling any attack.
3. Austria considers that the assembling of a con-
gress would not bring about a practical solution
of the Italian question, unless the Great Powers
agree before hand on a common programme, of
which, however, there is little likelihood.
