A USTRIAN ITALY.

MILAN, Nov. 28.
A medal, bearing the motto " Emmanuel King of
Italy " is being secretly distributed. The most absurd
rumours are in circulation. One of the current
stories is that Russia having demanded 900 millions
from Austria for the expenses of the war in Hungary
hi 1949, Austria, having no other means of payment,
proposed to sell Lombardy to Piedmont.

AUSTRIA.

Count Buol and his colleagues have discovered
that Austria needs the services of a newspaper
press. This, according to advice from Vienna of
the 28th ult., appears to be the explanation of a
measure previously announced by telegraph—the
reduction by one-half of the stamp duty on news-
paper published in the empire. Attacks are now
multiplied against Austria abroad, and moral in-
fluences are at work throughout the empire for its
disintegration, but to answer and counteract these
the Vienna press is at present quite inadequate.
No great results, however, can be expected to follow
a mere reduction of the stamp duty from two
kreusers to one krtuser. Newspapers cannot
flourish in a country which has no national repre-
sentation nor other organ of political life, but is
instead bound in a concordat.
