VIENNA. Nov. 11
To the mere tourist, Vienna presents outwardly but
few traces of the dreary politiealcirmutstanors which
weigh upon thn inner life of the ends' and commercial
world. The buildings have repaired t air shatter d
front& and the vestiges of the musquatry of the mob,
and the cannon-balls of Windiachgratz, have alike
disappeared. After a villainous October, the weather is
clearing up, and begins to look bright and cheerful, just
as tt e last yellow leaves are dropping from the Prater
trees. The ladies can trip from their nest broughams
to cheapen ribbons, in the flaurairg shops of the
Graben, without risk to the Parisian chentsenre :
nursery-maids, with their plump tray charges,
throng the gravelled ramparts, and children hang
over tee wall, looking down at the little
whiteooated drummses, who aro practising their
tattoo in the deep moat underneath. Across tie
broad green glaitis, which belts the city, yea look
over the straggling suburbs to the purple hills. whose
slopes are speckled with whites villas. Below the
river is crowded with barges heaped with apples,
grapes, and all sorts of fruit, and hundreds of stalls
spring up along the bank for the convenience of the
pnrchas-r.
Already a formidabls party are in arms against the
ministerial scheme of a customs union with Germany.
Many look upon this project as having no sincere
foundation in the will of the government to carry out
a reform to vast and attended with so many diffirul-1
ties; but as having been thrown out for the purpose
of outbidding Prussia in Germany.
VIENNA, Nov. 13.
Fresh rumours are in circulation to day, about the
Turkish question. Fears are expressed lest the sud-
den diversion in the destination of the French fleet
should proceed front a split between the Fr nch and
English cabinets, thro,.gh which the ratter will be
isolated in its opposition to the demands made by
Russia and Austria upon the Porte, and the affair
of the refugees take, in consequence, a less fa-
vourable turn. In fact, it is understood that the con-
cessions made by the imperial courts amoun` hitherto
simply to dropping the demand of extradition ; but
that both unite in insisting upon the close confine-1
ment of the revolutionary chiefs in some fortress in I
the interior of the Turkish dominions; whereas, the
English government maintains the light of the re- I
fugees voluntarily to retire from Ottoman ground and
betake themselves, for instance, on board of English
ships. Russia and Austria see a great deal of dill r-
ence between Bos-nth at Shumla or Brooms, and
Kossuth is London; sad think perhaps that
England. unsupported by France, will not push ter
protestation against the invasion of Turkish inde-
pendence so far as to insist upon the free
withdrawal of the Hungarian fugitives. Mean-
while, the Journal de anstantinople, whose number
of the 29th was received here yesterday, is as silent
as ever about the question which keeps the diplomacy
of the four great powers so busily occupied. On the
other band, this semi-offi-ial organ enters into a de-
fence of the Porte nn the subject of the treatment of
the prisoners at Widdin, who, it says, were neither
neglected in the manner publicly alleged nor soli-
cited to embrace Islamism. As soon as the Turkish
government bad knowledge of the mission of General
Hanslab, it declared itself ready to consent to the
return of so many as voluntarily announced their de-
sire
to io so, and to furnish such with all facilities,
bit required, at the same time, a written promise of
general amnesty. In corroborraion of this, a letter
from a high authority at Bucharest is prcdoci d.
which stigmatises the reported ill-treatment of
the refugees as a calumny, and indicates the
Turkish commander in Wallachia, Omer Puha, as
the person to whom Gen. Hanslab addressed a letter
promising a general p`rdon to the men who returned,
and expressing his acknowledgments of the readi-
ness with which the local authorities bad aided him
in the acsomplishment of his mission. This article of
the Journal de Constantin/4e has stirred, seemingly,
the bile of the government here, whose print (the
Wiener Zeitunq) gives, by way of answer, som' far-
ther account of the minion of Gen. Hanslab. When
the steamers and tow-vessels for the removal of the
prisoners arrived at Widdin, the governor (Eta
Puba) notified to the Austrian general that he would
only allow the Hungarians, from corporal downward,
to depart, but not a single officer, nor a single Italian
nor Pole. For the officers he demanded unconditional
pardon. Gen. Hanalab did not fall to re-
monstrate against these intentions, and re-
plied to a letter of Omar Pasha, which
wished to make the return of the refugees condi ionsl,
in a similar spirit. The Governor was ruled by the
suggestions of Colonel Ismail Bey, who had been dis-
pa•ched by Outer Puha to Widdin ostensibly for the
surveillance of the refugees. With the arrival of this
colonel began the solicitations to embrace the Mae-1
sulman religion, and the harsh treatment or the com-
mon soldiers; for towards the rebel chiefs favours
enough continued to boatmen, and stll more to those
who were converted. When the representations of
General Hamlet) were met by the objection of fresh
difficulties, and he weatold that it would be necessary
to wait tor an answer from Constantinople; on the
21st be sent the Pasha a decisive note, in which he
urged upon his attention the responsibility which
he would incur by impeding the departure
of Austrian subjects who had placed themselves
under the protection of the Austrian consul ; and
declared his own intention of returning with all or
none. This emphatic message had its effect. The
Paella no longer opposed the embarkation of the re-
fugees, which took place on the same afternoon. Those
who remained treated their departing comrades to a
stormy charivari, which was at length silenced by the
exertions of a Turkish officer. The transrarts arrived
on the 23rd at Kladoechnitsa, where the prisoners
were landed ; front thence, attended by an escort of
140 armed &Mans, they marched to Tekie, where
they were shipped, in somber 3,039, for Alt-Orsowa.
Here they were handed over to Major Cheyenne, of
the 18th boundary regiment, to be conducted to Te-
nse:mar. The sick amounted to 200, and 12 died upon
the journey.
