FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.

The season for grand balls has not yet commenced,

DECE

AUSTRIA.

M. Valerio, the governor of Ancona, having in a
recent decree spoken of Trieste as an Italian city,
the Austrian cabinet has thought it advisable to
address a circular despatch to all the representa.
tives of Austria at the German courts, calling
their attention to the fact. The despatch concludes
as follows:

It has been long known that the Italian revolution ex.
tends its pretensions to the gout land of Trieste and the
South Tyrol, and, oonsepaentiv, there is nothing astonish-
ing in M. Valerie's lucubration. But as the pretension of
the future kingdom of Italy on territory belonging to the
German Confederation appears for the first time in an al-
dal manner in the said decree of the Sardinian Commise' ary,
and in the name of a Sovereign placed at the head of a for-
midable military foroe, we cannot, as a German Power, dia-
-1 pease with calling the attention of our German confederates
to the document published at Anemia, and which Germany
most, at all events, look upon as a symptom and a warning.
You will please communkate this despatch, &c.
