AUSTRIA.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times writes :
" Some time since, when there was such a serious
misunderstanding between the Western Powers and
Naples, the Archduke Albrecht, in the name of the
Emperor Francis Joseph, strongly advised his
Neapolitan Majesty to make the concessions
required of him, and it is credibly related that
Austria has now counselled him to make those
reforms which tile Great European Powers
consider necessary to the welfare of his own sub-
jects, and to the peace and quiet of the inhabi-
tants of th,) other Italian States. That
the Imperial government has also urged the
Pope to satisfy the reasonable' wishes of his
subjects is certain, but it by no means follows
that the counsel of his Apostolic Majesty will be
taken by the haughty ecclesiastical advisers of his
Holiness. The German papers relate that the
Emperor of Austria has himself written both to the
King of Naples and to the Pope ; but my
endeavours to obtain confirmation to the statement
have hitherto failed."

THE CRIMEA.

EBASTOPOL, April 25, 1856

The great excitement of our camp life now is
the expectation of receiving orders for quitting
this land, where the world's interest for two years
has been centered. An order appeared in the
General Orders this week for the 9th, 17th, 39th,
62nd, and 63rd regiments to hold themselves in

readiness for immediate embarkation ; their
destination is Canada, and Sir Win. Eyre is to

command the expedition ; this is the only certain

information of th

slaves" there aro, of

In the meantime, the

listless monotony of camp life is enlivened by

races and reviews

On Wednesday last, some mule and pony races
came off behind the Guards camp ; the mules were
ridden by men from the ranks, and occasioned
great sport, by the displayal of their usual self-
will ; in the last pony steeplechase, I regret to say,
one of the Guards had a fall, which has brought on
concussion of the brain, and put a summary and
disagreeable end to the day's sports. Yesterday
there was another grand review of the whole army
in the Balakiava plain ; it was, however, more of a
drill than a parade. Sir W. Codrington, wishing to
try his hand at manceuvering the troops, and
considering he had 30,000 men or upwards to
handle, the result, I believe, was very satisfac-
tory. General Pelisier, with his usual retinue,
and several Russian generals were present.
Most of the Sardinians have gone, arid
several French regiments have already left for
" la belle France ;" they embarked at Kamiesch, it
is said we shall embark our troops at Sebastopol ;
the Zouaves have all left.

The Grand Junction Balaklava Railway is now
employed in conveying away shot and shell, to be
put on board ships as ballast, and thus sent home.
Fatigue parties gather the shot from the Redan,
and all the space between our camp and Sebaso
pol, bring it up to the nearest point of the railway
by which it is conveyed to Balaklava. I regret to
say a sad accident occurred today to a fatigue
party employed in this manner, an unexploded
shell suddenly going off, killing one man, and
wounding several others. The weather is fine
and warm.

MUTINY BY THE GERMAN JAGERS AT
PLYMOUTH,

Yesterday one of the companies grounded arms and refused
to do duty. They were marched to the citadel and a guard
of militia placed over them. Ball cartridge was served out
to a body of marines. The drummers, with triangles and
cats, were sent in from Stonehouse. The Commander of the
Forces in the west (General Eden) shortly arrived. A cor-
poral and two privates, belonging to the mutinous corps,
were then placed on trial by a court-martial, The Jagers
complain of excessive drill.
