VIENNA, Fun. 7.
I have received aathentia information of several
financial measures about to be proposed by the
minister of finance, of a very Important na-
ture. The first and moat important is a
proprsal fur the introduction into Austria of
• law similar to the French law to; d'enregutrement.

As the land has been freed from its buiiens;;;(l
as the whole conditions on which landed property is
I held have been changed, a very large proportion, par-
ticularly in Hungary, is just now changing proprie-
tors, and it is clear, therefore, that this tax would
bring in a very large revenue, and that too from a
class of persons who are able to pay. At the same
time the Minister of Finance proposes to introduce
other measures for the material reduction of several
indirect taxes which weigh heavily on the poorer
classes: one of these is a very considerable
reduction in the price of salt. Should these
measures prove successful, I am informed that Herr
Krause intends, in the course of the next year, to
abolish the oppressive tobacco monopoly.

General attention is drawn to-day to the aspect of
affairs in the East, and the development of the ener-
getic measures adopted by the English Foreign St c-
retary. Letters and papers which have arrived to-
day throw a little light on the otherwise mysterious
proceedings in Greece. They state with confidence
that the agents of Russia have for some time been
most active in the city of Athens in endeavouring to
persuade King Otho to abdicate in favour of the Duke
of Leuch:enberg, a step which would render Russian
influence, great as it is at the present moment, in fu-
ture all-powerful in the East, and would greatly faci-
litate
the long-desired occupation of Constantinople by
Russia. The ministerial journals are of course wild
against Lord Palmerston. One specimen of their mode
of dealing with this subject I cannot refrain from
quoting. The Pekin: Zeitung, the famed creation of
Dr. Bach, brings the following diverting correspon-
dence from London in its latest number ,
