FEMALE DIPLOMACY.

VIENNA, Nov. 27.
During the last few days some excitement has pre-
vailed in oar diplomatic circles from the discovery of
a scandalous breach of confidence which forms a
pedant to the celebrated case of stealing the de-
'patches at Potsdam. In this cue, however, the
Minquent is a lady of great personal attractions, in
whose saloons the highest of the aristocracy of this
dty meet frequently, as she receives almost every
seeniag. The dupe of the lady is Prince —, who
has °sly lately been appointed by hi. Sovereign is
ambassador to the Court of Vienna. It appears that
shortly before his appointment the Prince had made
the acquaintance of a French lady, who was so
.harmed with hi. talents and cenversatioa that she
removed also to Vienna, and being well introduced,
set up a sort of political saloon, in which the ques-
tions more especially affecting the country repre-
sented by the Prince were discussed. Daring the
late ministerial crisis at the Priace of course
received numerous despatches informing him of all
that was going on at home for his own private
Ise and to regulate his conduct towards the
other diplomatists It so happened that a few
days ago the Prince discovered, from what
MI from the ambassador in a diplomatic
sialerence, that be was acquitted with certain cir-
ousistances, which he could only have known through
hie own deepatchee, sad his suspicions being excited,
he followed op the clue and traced it to the above-
named French lady, Madame de —. The sad
of the story is, that this lady has sold off her furni-
ture and broken up her establishment, having re-
delved a gentle hint from the police that the climate
of Vienna was not suited for her. It has, however,
created some strprias that the Embassy that profited
in largely by the lady's abase of (Antidotes has taken
so step to prevent her banishment, or in any other
way to add her protection.

VENICE, Nov. 26.
The Emperor is jut landing from his splendid
gondola barge. A red carpet is laid from the
landing-plus, through the square, to the *arch.
This carpet has en each side a hoe of soldiers
at about a yard distance to let the isservele
be filled with children and women. Gee or
two white handkershists from the official ladies at
the windows of the Ouse show that the Emperor and
Empress Sr. on dry posed. No huzzaiog, so sheer-
lag, except from the Andra sod the paid claguesrs;
sot the slightest enthaime. But what with theiring
of samosa and the rasing of bells the y men
leaked py an limed. The Easprom, wear,

that the bells and eargets did set empress the fooling
of the nation. It me a dooldd falls», and
I am positive that ta. people sesembled did

Ads Dubs might give out an order bow
Midi Aim amid abroad, set oolally at each

from the landistpiace walked to the 'harsh, which
via highly ornamented. After service they walked
to the Decal Value. The Empress has • gad ex-
ream of countaanee, rather pretty, and has the
a___ppppssaaeraaaaa of continuing a race of Emperors. The
Lrmpsror is a laughing, good-tempera yang

TM Emperor came to the window of the palms.
About thirty little boys began to sheer, sad this
leseght • crowd, bat while f was there not the voice
of a see was heard. In short, it mast have been
dear to every impartial spectator that the reception
of the Emperor by the people of Venice was so cool
as it possibly could be.
