THE RUSSIAN REPLY TO AUSTRIA.

The following is the text of the note addressed by
Prince Gortchakoff to M, de Knorrin& the Russian
representative at Vienna :
Taankoe-selo, Anima 26.

You will Bud annexed the copy of a despatch from COMA
de Recbberg, which the Austrian chart* orelaires wee
charged to communicate to me.
" "

It contains the observations suggested I. the Atuirian
Minister for Foreign Affairs by the overtures contained in
my despatch of the 18th July, and states, to our great re.
gret, th►t the Austrian government differs with us in opinion
on most of the points which we have mentioned. Our pro-
positions bad in view the work of conciliation, the urgency
of which Count de Rechberg has pointed out to us.
My despatch of the 18th July had for object to precisely
point out that idea, and to remove beforehand the objections
and the misunderstanding to which it might give rise. We

regret th►t it has not met with the adhesion of the cabinet
of Vienne.

The more value we should have attached to coming to an
understanding with it on a question in which we consider
our interests to be identical, the farther are we from wish-
ing to prolong a discussion which will do no more than prove
a difference of oplaioe. We are persuaded that Ooant de
Rechberg will share in this feeling.
We prefer to confine ourselves to the essential points of
his despatches, on which we at least intend to be in accord
with him.

The Austria government whams to ese a state of thlup
promptly reestablished in the kingdom of Poland which
would restore tranquillity to that country, repose to Europe,
and security to the relations between the cabinets. We fully
participate in that desire, and all that may depend onus
shall be done in order to realise it.

Our august master continues to be animated with the
kindest intentions towards Poland, and with the most con-
ciliatory feelings towards all foreign powers.
The welfare of all his subjects, of all room and of all re.
ligious creeds, is an obligation which his Imperial Majesty
has accepted before God, his coascieoce, and his people.
The Emperor devotes all his solicitude to fulfil it.
As regards the responsibility which may be assumed by
his Majesty in his international relations, those relations
are regulated by public right. The violation of those fun.
&mental principles can alone involve responsibility. Our
august muter has constantly respected and observed those
principles with regard to other states. His Majesty has
the right to expect and claim the same respect on the part
of other Powers.

You will please to read and give a copy of this dispatch
to the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs.—Accept, /cc.,
Goßrozurorr.

Trig CONFEDERATE OUTRAGE ON A BRITISH SUB-
JECT.—Mr. R. IL Belalew. whose memorial to Lord Russell
appeared a few days ago. baa received the following reply:—
" Foreign-otlice, Sept. 21, 1863. Sir,—l am directed by
Earl Russell to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of
the sth instant, giving an amount of the ill-treatment you
experienced on y our refusal to eolecteeer for service in the
Confederate army, sad request* her Majesty's government
to chum an indemnification for you on account of such ill-
treatment. lam to state to you in reply that your claim
shall not be lost sight of in case communisations should be
opened with the so-called Confederate authorities with •
view to obtaining redress for British subjects who have
suffered ill treatment in the Coefederste States.—l am, sir,
your most obedient humble servant, C. Harmon)."
INTERESTING ARCH .EOLOGICAL Discovaim.—A few
day since, as the men employed by Mama. Richardson and
Anscombe were digging out the foundations for some new
booms in Pencesteratnet, Dover, they OWN to a copper
coin of Antonious Augustus Pins in a very fine state of pre-
servation. The coin had evidently been used as a British
coin exclusively, for while bowleg a finely preserved head
of the Roman Emperor, together with part of the lettering,
whiith of itself unmistakably indicated the reign in which it
hod been struck, it had on the obverse the allegorical figure
of Britannia much in the same manner as our modern copper
coins have had together with the greater pert of the word
" Britanieruir surrouoding it. Few finer specimens of so
ancient a coin can exist, but we endststeod that a short time
since a coin of the reign of Nero, in almost u perfect a state
of preservation was found near to the same spot.-3ssaee

THE WEATHER AND THE HOP-PICHING.—During
the put week the weather on the whole Lu been favourable)
for the clearing up of the " dregs" of the harvest and for
the hop•pieking. The stormy weather on Saturday night,
and the subsequent sharp but transient @bowers, have
" ruffled" rush hoplardens as reniained unpicked. But alto-
gether greet progress has ben made, and the present week
will doubtless, if the weather remain fairly favourable, au a
close put to the labours of the pickers. The amounts
continue, as they have been throngboot, to be extremely
varying, but unfortunately the remark that the crop manse
down " sport of expectation "is the promiunt "burden of
the song sung by our correspondents. Of the quality, all
accounts concur in speaking eatlehetorily, sad judging from
the teas of the market good samples seed not go beg-
ging, Prices appear to be rising, the natural result of the
diminished supply asomialeed in the progress of the pinking.
