THE ATTACK ON THE AUSTRIAN
EMPEROR.

The following is the latest and most circumstan-
tial of the telegraphic despatches relating to the re-
cent attack on the Austrian Emperor.
" Vienna, Saturday, Feb. 19.
" The following are the details of the attempt made
yesterday upon the life of the Emperor. His Majesty
was walking on the ramnarts, a favourite promenade
of the Viennese, when he was suddenly attacked
with a poniard, by a young Hungarian, by trade a
' tailor, and formerly a hussar.
"The assassin had aimed his blow right at the
middle of the Emperor's throat, but his Majesty
having caught sight of the weapon raised against
him, made a movement with his arm, which diverted
it a little, and he was struck below the nape of the
neck.

" Count O'Donnell, aide-de-camp of the Emperor,
who was by his Majesty's side, drew his sword in
an instant, and dealt the assassin a blow which
felled Lim to the ground; he was not, however,
killed as was at first stated. He was immediately
secured and delivered into the hands of justice."
Other despatches make known that the name of the
Hungarian, is Lebeny or Lasobwey. The Debate
states that the Emperor " was able to go to the
palace of the Archduke Albert, where the wound
was dressed, and from there he returned on foot to
the palace. The wound is not dangerous, but never-
theless the medical men have recommended that he
should remain in bed."

On Sunday the following was forwarded from
Vienna:

- -
" The Emperor is not quite so well to-day, being
some what feverish. His Majesty's medical attendants,
however, think lightly of it."

SWITZERLAND,

ZURICH, SATURDAY.
The government of Ticino is informed that all
persons belonging to it now in Lombardy must quit
the country—the operatives immediately, and other
persons within three days.
It was announced a few days ago that the village
of Camptone, forming politically a part of Lombardy,
but geographically isolated in the canton of Ticino,
was to be occupied forthwith by Austrian troops. A
letter from Berne contradicts these rumours, and
states that nothing but domiciliary visits had taken
place.
On the 17th the Federal Council held a sit-
ting, to receive a report from the cantonal govern-
ment of Ticino respecting its conduct before and
at the time of the excitement at Milan. The Ticinese
government complains much of the blockade. Not-
withstanding the latter measure, however, a boat
arrived at Lugano on the 13th, and landed several
passengers from Porlesza. The blockade of the
Spiegel) having been decreed by mistake, the pass
was re-opened to the public on the 17th. We an-
nounced yesterday that the Austrian government
had addressed a note to the Swiss Confederation

respecting the agitations in Ticino. Letters received
from that canton contain the assurance that, short of
lassuming the functions of Austrian police, the go-
vernment of the canton has done all in its power to
discourage the operations against Austria upon its
soil. The cantonal finances have not recovered from
the injury they sustained in 1848 and 1849 iu conse-
quence of the presence of refugees; and the people,
although well disposed to the suffering Lombards,
are not desirous of incurring fresh c barges on their
account.

TURKEY AND MONTENEGRO.

From St. Petersburg we learn that Admiral Prince
Menschikoff, Russian minister of marine, has left for
Constantinople upon special mission. He is accom-
panied by M. Demetrius Nesselrode, son of the chan-
cellor of the empire.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Trieste, February
18, states that according to reports from Montenegro
the war had again broken out with great violence.
Omer Pacha had issued an admonitory proclamation
against the inhabitants of Bielopaoljevitch, and ad-
vanced with a part of his army as far as Kohoti. It was
believed that the junction between the Bosnian and
Albanian corps d'armje had been effected. Two
thousand Albanian militia had just joined Omer
Pacha's standard as the last accounts were despatched.
Prince Daniel has been employing his present
leisure in provisioning and strengthening Cettiuje,
his little capital, and has already placed it in a state
of defence, which he hopes will enable him for a long
time to withstand a considerable force. In a kind of
suburb, and in advance of the fortifications proper,
he has built a castle, with four towers, which a foe
I must take before he can advance to the city. The
city has good walla, ramparts, and trenches, and
leans upon a high hill, upon the summit of which
another castle stands. This castle, the Monte-

negrins persuade themselves, is impregnable, and
can he defended although the city should fall.
On the 4th a Turkish colonel arrived at Bucharest
with a number of attendants, in charge of ek ven
very valuable Arab horses, which the Sultan was
sending as a present to the Austrian Emperor.
