AUSTRIA

VIENNA, Nov. 2.
In my letter•of the 25th of October it was said
that the violent attack made by one of our morn-

ing cotemporaries, on the policy of this Govern-
ment in the Neapolitan question, had produced a
very disagreeable impression here, and it is now
necessary to return to the subject. As soon as the
Austrian and British, governments observed :that the
French Cabinet was coquetting with Russia, they

felt that it was necessary " to let bygones be by-
gones," and by degrees a good understanding was
established between them. Justas the important
question of the evacuation or non evacuation
or the Black Sea and Danubian Principalities
was being settled at. Constantinople, the above-
mentioned leader appeared, an,' the Austrians
(erroneously supposing the paper in question
to be the organ of the First: Lord of the Treasury)
asked each other how it was possible to work well
'with an ally who-choose such a critical moment for

Making such a desperate onslaught. Informatiorr
has now reached me that the, Austrian govdrnment
has 'recently received the assurancs that Lord
Palmerston is in no connection with the Morning
Post, and, it is well that such is the case, for the

treaty of peace would ass'
if any misunderstanding

Ireiny uu [nut
should arise between Eng

land and Austria. A person who is on intimate terms
with many Russian families of rank assures me that
the flower of the nation IS now travelling in different
parts of Europe for the express purpose of making
political proselytes, • and- he' is of opinion that
Russian agents are not strangers to the alarming
ferment which there now is in France. The Rus-
sians already boast that the Emperdr of the French
is in their toils and unable to escape; and in this
country it is not doubted that the star of Napoleon
is on, the decline, though naturally the opinions
differ, as to the time it will set. _

About a fortnight ago you were informed-that
Count Leiningen's body had been interred in one of
the-cemeteries of Vienna, without let or hindrance
on the part of the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The
Archbishop of Vienna has since explained how the
happened. 'The Count's body was brOught
flom CraeoW; and as it was taken straight from the
railway terminus to the cemetery, the funeral
ceremony was, performed. before the Catholic
priestS knew that the deceased was a Pretestant.
Thus: the remains of General Count ;Leiningen,
who was one of the most distinguished men in the
-service- of the. Emperor. would not have been
interred in the family vault had it been known that
he was not a ,member of the Roman church. The
affair of the burial of 'Lieut. Meissl (the officer who
wa6 killed in a duel) in the churchyard of Grafen-
berg is not yet settled, the Archbishop of Breslau,
who is the dioCesan of the Austrian parish of
Grafenberg, having taken offence at the spirited
behaviour of poor MeisSl's brother officers.
In the Prussian Circular, relative to Neufchatel,
_is the 'following sentence :—His Majesty intends
to urge the Swiss Confedration to liberate the.
Neufchatel Royalist prisoners, -and he reserves to
himself the right to take more serious (ernstre) mea-
sures a4ainst Switzerland should his demand not be
complied with." As. has been already said, Atistria
has promised to support the motion of Prussia,
that the Bund do accede to the London protocol of
_the 24th of -May, 1852; but she declines to pledge
herself to 'Counsel-the Blind to approve of the
" more serious measures," of which Baron von
Manteuffel speaks in. his ciicular. • • : -
Those organs of the Austrian press which are pub-
lished in the Servian language have recently told us
that Prince Daniel has agreed to recognise the
suzerainete of the Porte, if the Zenta territory and'a
part of the Tierzegovine are ceded to hire, but there
= is no truth in the statement, as you will see by-the
following intelligence, which has been received
by the Oesterreichische Zeitunty, from Cattaro. The
Rusian and French Consuls in Montenegro hold a
kind of permanent Conference, in which the terms
on which Prince Daniel shall conclude!' an eternal
peace" with the Sultan Abdul Medjid are discussed.
NoAustrian or British commissary shares in their
• consultations. Prince Callimaki affirms that the
Porte will never consent to recognizo the indepen.
denea of Montenegro, and it would be a great
political blunder . should Austria' and . England
endeavour to-persuade it to do so. Montenegro is
de facto independent of Turkey, but if her indepe-
denee were acknowledged by the Porte, - she
would be able to conclude perfectly valid treaties
with her protector Russia. It, might be well if
' Turkey ceded to Montenegro a certain portion of
meadow and arable land, but it -would be sheer
madness to give the Montenegrins Antivari. If
•they had that Albanian port, it would to all intents
and-purposes be a Russian station in the Adriatic.
Field Marshal Prince Woronzoff is again at Odessa,
and-in comparative good health. The small English
steamer Pelissier has been bought by a Russian
officer; and is to run regularly between Odessa and
Cherson. The prices of wheat are higher at Odessa
than in Marseilles.- The Czas has the following im-
probable -news relative to the intentions of the
Russians :—" The future fleet of the Russians in
• the Black Sea and Sea of Azoff is to consist of 12
