AUSTRIL
A NEW CONSTITUTION.

The Pays contains the following important news :

" We are informed in a manner almost certain
that the Austrian government has resolved to
effect serious reforms in its triple system—political,
financial, and administrative. The Emperor, well
advised by the Archduke Maximilian, whose liberal
sentiments are well known, and also by old
councillors of the empire, from whom he was
estranged before and during the last Italian war,
has caused a constitution to be prepared, which we
are assured has for its basis the elective principle
with all the consequences flowing therefrom. It

is thought that the Emperor will promulgate this
constitution shortly after the Warsaw meeting,
without, however, the realisation of this great poli-
tical act being in any way connected with the re-
sults of that interview."

One correspondence says that the new Austrian
oonstitution will greatly resemble that which pre-
vailed in France from 1830 to 184&
