AUTOGRAPH LETTER OF THE EMPEROR
OF AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria has addressed to the
Waiter of the Interior the following autograph
letter :

" Dear Baron Bach—My heart has been touched
by observing the numerous voluntary subscriptions
by which all classes of the population have shown
their eagerness to contribute in every way to supply
the extraordinary wanta created by the war.
The patriotic gift. proffered in such great
abundance ; the organisation of the free corps, so
powerfully aided by large contributions; the eager-
ness which has been manifested in aU directions to
furnibh serviceable horses for the wants of the war ;
the useful action of patriotic societies; and, in par-
healer, the voluntary and meritorious care which
has been lavished on the wounded, these are to
me new and sensible marks of eelf•denial and of the
devotion which has always distinguished my faith-
ful people in times of trial. I follow the impulse of
my heart in expressing my meet profound gratitude
to all those who have taken part in these mani-
festations of true patriotism and humanity—mani-
festations innumerable, and which I shall never
forget. Above all, I thank the inhabitants of Vienna,
my faithful residence and capital, who from the com-
mencement set a most brilliant example, and I
charge you to make public this expression of my
sentiment,.

" FRANCIS JOSEPH."
" Luxembourg, 28th July, 18.59.

THE DUCHIES.

In accepting the dictatorship of the Modenese
provinces, M. Farini issued on the 28th of July a
second proclamation. It was as fellows :
" Citizen,—You have given me a remarkable tes-
timony of affection and confidence. lam very much
moved by it, and if God shall aid me I will prove
my gratitude to you. Belonging entirely to Italy, I
shall belong entirely to you, who in defending your
own right defend that of the nation.
" I accept the temporary power in order that I
may immediately convoke the popular ueemblies to
whom it appertains to establish power on the legi-
timate basis of the national will, upon which are
founded the powerful and glorious empire of France,
the government of noble and free England, and
other states.

" I shall shortly restore to the representatives of
the people, the authority which I derive from your
affection and the votes of the municipal bodies.
" In the meantime I shall maintain order rigidly ;
I shall guarantee liberty to all ; I shallgive additional
force to military regulations; I shall increase the
armaments.

"We now know each other. Within no one will
seditiously attack the concord, the honour, and the
tranquility of the country; if any one did so, he
would not remain unpunished. Civilised Europe
will not permit attacks from without. Let the con-
quered followers cf the foreigner menace us, and I
shall resolutely employ all the means at my disposal
to defend the national independence.

" Fellow citizen', we are now the soldiers of the
national honour and dignity in Central Italy.

" FAALNI."

A Paris letter in the Nord says :

King Victor Emmanuel, en:ionsabove all things not to
expose Memento the suspicion of ineratiande to the Emperor
Napolsm, shows himself diapoesd with hie usual chivalrous
character to cede to the &eine manifee.ed by Me ally and de-
fender. All the conoreelene compatible with the digeil sad
interests of Sardinia will therefore be made to facilitate the
arrangement of peace. It is for that reason that the Sar-
dinian 00Zalliali0110Te have been recalled from the Legations
and the Duchies. The King was most minions for the an-
nexation labia/Mates of Tuscany and Parma; but be hes ceased
to elm at accomplishing It, in order not to oppose the present
policy of the Preach government. It is announced that the
ex -Grand Duke of Toomey will soca publish a manifesto,
wilertakieg to give to the Teacarts a mutilation and the
Italian flag. The Marquis d• Polluted.° in his audience
of the Emperor give, is the name of the Duchess of Parma,
• promise to do the same. The despatches of agents in the
Duchies sad the Roman Legatione continue to express the
hope that extensive reforms, sincerely executed, will restate
cdm to public opinion, and facilitate the re-establialunint of
the authority of the princes,. It Is to be feared, however,
that the writers take their desires for the reality.

Another Paris letter in the lame journal says:

Count de Bakst has been received in Turin by the King of
Sardinia, End in their interview the question was discussed
as to what the 6th French Corps, which is to remain some
time in Italy, is to do. This corps, of which Prinoe Mim-
eos handed over the command to Gen. d' Autemarre, is about
to continue its political and military minion by temporarily
occupying Lombardy. The specie' object of this memo,.,
of which the character is mlsrepremntei, is to give the
Lombardo-Sardinian army time to organise itself on a
definitive and redoubtable footing; in reality the 6th Corps
is an auxiliary one for the King of Piedmont, destined to
assist him until he shall be able to do without the help of
France. It is, then, completely isles that the 6th Corps is
to be called on to co-operate in the restoration of the sove-
reigns of Perms, Florence, and Modena. In no ease, be
cleared, will the soldiers of Francs be employed to do
vin once to the wishes of the Italian nation, and to occupy
the Duchies on behalf of the princes in flight. No doubt
Napoleon 111. desire, that the princes may resume posses-
sion of their thrones. But he cannot and will not aid them
to return to their metes, without counselling moderation to
Mir subjects, and to themselves the hos of enlightenment,
of progress, and of reform.

It is stated that the son of the late Grand Doke of
Tuscany, in whom favour the latter has abdicated,
intends,on re-entering oa his estates, to decree a con-
stitution " resembling in its principal features that
which the Emperor Francis Joseph is disposed to
wooed to Venetia." The author of this statement
adds that he has reason to know that to secure the
restoration of the Prince deposed during the war,
reliance le plumed at Vienna on the little army of
Modena, and that it is hoped by these means to
avoid the intervention of foreign troops.
