AUSTRIA.

-VIENNA, MARCH 11.
While the Austrian Monarch and his Ministers
were at Milan one or two important events Occurred
Which are not yet, known to the public. The
Bishops took adVantage of the presence of their
SoVereign, and strongly urged hind to make further
concessions to the Papal chair, but the lust of power
and the impatience of control which the reverend
gentleman betrayed produced no agreeable impres-
sion on His Majesty, who referred them to the
Minister of the Interior. That high functionary is
a most devoted son of the Church, but he is
probably of opinion that Austria has ceded
enough of her power to the Court of Rome, for he
was afflicted with sudden deafneas whenever the
Bishops breached the subject which they had so
much at heart. Instead of recording to the Papal
Chair more influence than it already enjoys in
Austria, the Emperor gave His Holiness a hint
that it would he well if the, impetuosity of
the Lombardo:Venetian hierarchy receiVed
check. Indeed, there is reason to believe
that a note in the above mentioned sense
was forwarded to Rome while the Ministers
were still at Milan. It has not failed to attract
attention that no order or other sign of 'favour
has been given by his Majesty to the Bishops of
Bergamo and Pavia, who are the most bigoted and
violent of the Attstro Italian prelates. The remark
of Count Cavour, 4` that he, as a Roman Catholic,
condemned the Austrian Concordat, but as a Sar
dinian politician highly approved of it," has not
failed to attract the attention of those politicians
who foretold that Austria would have cause to rue
her convention with Rome Some of the Vienna
correspondents of the German papers write that
there is a " conflict' between tbi civil and clerical
authorities, but such is not the case, for the
for Mer invariably obey the behests of the latter.
The thunders of the Jesuit preachers are just at
present directed against General Baron Kempen,
the Chief of the Austrian Police, who is compared
to Pontius Pilate, and declared to be no better than.
one of the Wicked. Baron Kempen has giVen
great offence to the tlltrainotataUe party by
decling to permit it to take the direction of all
Matters connected with the public press into its
hands. If the authorities are too lenient, it
is towards the organs of the Jesuits, which
continually employ language infinitely Coarser
than any that is, to be fdtind in the other Austrianpapers. The is,
of this morning is now
before me, and in it the public is told that the
Oesterreichische Zeituny, WandereT, and Lutheran
Book of Confirmation, lie. The same pqper states
that the Imperial Royal " Statthelterei," at Inns
bruck, has obtained from the director of a manu-
factory at Tells a written promise not to employ
any non-Catholic workmen. Such a measure is in
direct contradiction to one of the stipulations of
the Act of. Confederation ; but the German Diet is
far too- supine even to think of entering a protest
against it.

The Governor General of the Lombardo Venetian
kingdom is to remain Commander-in-Chief of the
Austrian navy. Baron Bach, the Minister of the
Interior, arrived here yesterehy from Milan. 'the
Ministerial Counsellor Maximillisn von Gagern
is gone to Brussels, as Plenipotentiary of the Aus-
trian Court, to settle the conditions of the contract
between the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and
the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. The Grand
Duke of Tuseany,with the whole of his family, met
their Majesties at Mantua. The Duke of Modena,
the brother in law of the Duke of Bordeaux, had a
(political ?) rheumatism, and was unable to go to
Mantua to pay his respects to the head of his
family. Four Italian nobi/i, Messrs. Peter and
Joseph Venieri, and Messrs. Bernard Caboga and
Papadossoli, have been made Austrian Counts:
