The Vienna correspondent of the Times writes
under date of Mendsy last :--" la the morning of the day
before yesterday a batch of Irish volunteers reached Medd-
ling, a small place about three miles from Vienna on the
southern railroad. In the course of the day two of the
men wandered into the city, where they met with
an Englishman, to whom they told a very lamentable story.
They had been informed by a Mr. Sullivan, the editor of the
Dublin Nation, that they might better their social position
by going to Italy, and, having confidence in the judgment
of their fellow-countryman, they determined to try their
Inch. They were forwarded gratis to Liverpool, Antwerp,
and Vienna, but were half starved after having quitted Bel-
gium. The men, who declared they had no idea that they
were to serve is the Papal army until they reached this
country, expressed • strong desire to return to their homes.
They were advised to apply to the British minister for
assistance, and it is probable they did so, as they ap-
peared to have • very great disinclination to continue
their journey to the south. According to my informant
the names of the men were M'Carry and Marron.
About 400 Austrians left Meidling for Trieste and
Anoona the day before yesterday. It ie supposed
