-and-not-to discuss the-conditions of- the -treaty-of
peace." As the Commission for examining into the
affair of the Danubian Principalities is not to meet
until the Bessarabian frontier question is definitively
settled, the representatives of Austria and England
are likely to be recalled from Constantinople. You
were yesterday informed that the Turkish Minis-
terial crisis was at end, and some intelligence
relative to the new Minister of Foreign Affairs has
since reached me. Ethem Pasha, who is not more
than 30 years of age, was educated at the artillery
school at Metz, and it is sdd that he completed
his studies to the entire satisfaction of the pro-
fessors of the institution and of the Turkish
Government. Be this as it may, Ethem on his
return from France was attached-to the person of
the Sultan, to whom he taught mathematics, or
rather the rudiments of that science. When Ethem
Pasha took office, he was the principal chamberlain
of the Sultan, and he was the bearer of his Sublime
Highness's congratulations to Lord Redeliffe" on
Her Majesty's last birthday. Ethem Pasha is said
to have a remarkably retentive memory, and conse
quently he will hardly have forgotton that in the
month of May last the British Ambassador refused
to see him when he went to deliver the message of
his Imperial master. Notwithstanding his French
education, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs
is a staunch Mussulman.

A wealthy financier informs me that he can have
a large sum in the Russian railroads at par, but he
does not seem inclined to accept the offer. Accord-
ing to his acconut, the price of emission is 85, and
the interest guaranteed 5 per cent.
The Austrian Lloyd has displayed its wisdom by
•entirely relinquishing the idea of establishing a
direct communication between Trieste and New
The only articles which are exported in

are so called IVureinberger-warren, which consist
chiefly of toys.

Several of the Ministers and other high •digni-
taries—as well civil as military—were present at
the funeral of the learned Orientalist, Baron
Hammer.

Highway robbery, burglary, and murder are so
rife in Hungary, that the authorities are seriously
alarmed, and troops have been sent out in search of
the disturbers of the public peace. The last atro-
city that has come to my knowlege, is the
murder of the parish priest of Zinderlorr, a
place at no great distance from the hon.
tier of the Province of Lower Austria. The
matter is a very delicate one to touch on, but
it is my duty to inform you that the state of
public feeling in Hungary is anything but satisfac-
tory. The Concordat has done a vast deal of mis.
chief, but people have not the courage to confess,
even to themselves, that such is the case. The
Buda-Pestle Gazette confirms news forwarded some
time since relative to the intended journey of their
Majesties to Hungary. The visit will be paid at
the beginning of May, 1857. On the 24th the first
sitting of the Central Congregation took place at
Venice.

The Caradoc, which has lost one of her paddle-
wheels, is still lying in the port of Venice, and
waiting for a vessel that is coming from Milts to
tow her into some British port.

Nov. 28 —Soon after their arrival at Venice on
the 25th, their Majesties went to St. Mark's (the
Cathedral), where Te Deem was sung. When the
solemn thanksgivings were at an end the Emperor
and Em press returned to the palace, and the former
admitted his privy councillors and chamberlains to
his presence. Shortly before dinner his Majesty
reviewed the garrison, arid almost directly after
they had risen from table the Emperor and
Empress went out to see the illumination. The
remainder of the evening was passed in the
thtttre, La Fenice, where their Majesties were
received with loud acclamations The fore•
going is a summary of an official despatch
forwarded by Count Bissingen, the Stadthelder,
to the Minister of the Interior, but it is known to
me that the Emperor was received at Venice with
less apparent enthusiasm than at Trieste. It is
not my intention to say that their Majesties met
with a cold, or even a cool reception, but the Vene-
tians certainly exhibited fewer outward and visible
signs of joy than did their favoured rivals on this
side of the water. The Emperor must have been
in an extremely good humour while at Trieste, for
the inhabitants of that city speak with enthusiasm
of his " tact, condescension, and affability." It is a
positive fact that Marshal Redetsky is about to
retire from public life, but no one ems to know
who is to be his successor According to some
persons -the Archduke Ferdinand Max, the pre,
sumptive heir to the throne, is to be Viceroy of the
Lombardo-Venetian kingdom; but it is not proba-
ble that the youthful prince, who knows nothing
of administrative matters, will consent to quit his
post as commander of the nascent Austrian fleet.
The Archduke Ferdinand Max became a sailor
by choice, and will, doubtless, prefer the little
villa which he is building at Trieste to the vice-
regal palace at Milan. In higher circles the third
son of the Archduke Frances Charles is believed to
have the best chance of being appointed Viceroy of
Venice and Lombardy, but he is still very young
(born July 30, 1833), and is besides exactly the
man for the post which he now fills. The Tyrolese
are such violent Catholics, that they can hardly be
persuaded to permit a non-Catholic to settle in
the province; and the Archduke Charles Louis,
their Stadtholder, is believed to have profited more
by the lessons of.the followers of Ignatius Loyola
than any other member of the Imperial family.
Baron Hess, the chief of the General Staff, Will go
to Venice on the 10th of December, and it is not
impossible that he may for a time be placed at the
head of the Administration of the Lombardo-Vene-
tian kingdom

As you were. yesterday informed the " Contra
Congregation " of Venice was solemnly installed on
the, 24th. Count Bissingen, the Stadtholder, who,
by the by, is an arch-Jesuit, swore in the deputies,
and then reminded them of the duties which they
had to perform towards their Sovereign and
country. The deputy, M. Citadella Vigodarzere,
having made a suitable reply, the whole assembly
'went to hear mass read in the church of St. Stephen,
and then waited on Marshal Radetzky, who received
them with as much viyacity as if he.had been 40
instead of 90 years of age.

An attempt is about to be made to keep the
Hungarian highway robbers and burglars in check
by forming companies of mounted gensdarmes, but
the object of the Chief of the Police would perhaps
be more speedily attained if the Commander of the
geusdarmerie were to send to Iqungary the two
regiments of gensdarmes which are now quartered
in the Tyrol, Styria, and Upper and Lower Austria,
provinces in which they are almost, if not quite
superfluous. Two pamphlets have just appeared
explaining the new marriage laws in the sense most
favourable to the Church, but; one of them has
given offence to the Archbishop of Vienna, because
the author chanced to observe that two of the
paragrrphs in his Grace's instructions to the clergy
were less lucid than they might have been. The
Archbishop, who is a man of talent, is probably
a good Christian, but he is a vain man, and con-

sequently bears censure as badly as the haughtiest
layman in his diocesa. Baron Burger, the Stadt-
holder of Lombardy, has been on the look out for
a Podesta for Milan for the last three months, but
cannot find a man to his taste, or rather to the
taste of the Minister of the interior. It is related
in official circles that Baron Bach has been sum
moned to Venice. The official Gazetta di Venezia
announces that the King of Sardinia has sent the
Chevalier do Cigala. one of his aides decamp, on
a special mission to Venice The Archduke Ferdi-
nand Max will probably leave for Brussels on the
15th, but still his marriage with the Princess
Charlotte is not likely to take place before the
month of June, 1857.

The wind has been so very violent during the
last few clays that the telegraph poles have been
knocked about like so many nine-pins, but the
communication is now re-established on all the
lines.
