AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JULY 16.

In a letter written two or three days ago you were
informed that the Emperor Napoleon had convinced
the Emperor Francis Joseph that the Neutral Powers
based their project of mediation on the cession of
Venetia as well as Lombardy, and the confir-
mation of my statement is to be found in that
passage of the Imperial manifesto which is in italic.
Prince Windischgratz returned from' Berlin to this
city last night, and it is known to me that he (in
obedience to telegraphic instructions received from
Verona) made an urgent, but fruitless appeal to the
Prussian Government shortly before the Emperor
affixed his signature to the Preliminaries of
Peace. May neither Germany nor Prussia have
cause to rue the day
.on . which they determined
not to support Austria in her attempt to break the
moral yoke which Louis Napoleon has managed to
impose on Europe. It is certain that Austria wished
to punish Sardinia for • her impertinence ; 'but it is
equally certain that she hoped, with the assistance of
England and Germany, to restore the balance of
poiver in Europe. People here are greatly affiicted
at the loss of Lombardy, but the Empire may, if in-
ternal matters are properly managed, be ,a gainer by
the loss. Lombardy was to. 'Austria what a gan-
grened limb is to a body, and the unsound part having
been removed, it may reasonably be expected that the
Empire will be healthier than it was. In official
circles it is said that Lombardy will have to take on
itself about 200,000,000 lire of the Austrian National
Debt, which sum • was raised in the province
when it formed part of the kingdom of Italy.
The establishment at Milan known as the " Monte"
(Mont-Napoleon) has hitherto paid the interest of
the above-mentioned capital out of the provincial
funds. As the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the
Duke of Modena are to return'to their States, it is
by no means improbable that they will be ." in-
ducted" by Austrian troops. The matter will give
the diplomatic world plenty of occupation, but the
end of it will probably be, 'that Austria—France
willing—will do as she pleases. The Ost Deutsche
Post says that the dismissal of count Cavour was
promised by the Emperor Napoleon at Villafranca.
The French monarch is somewhat angry with his
ir4periai Russian brother, because ho objected to the
formation of a Hungarian legion, and declared that
the only Tuscan Government he recognized was that
established by the-Grand Duke Leopold.
The Sardo-French having made several mistakes
in their official communications during the war, the

to know, that it is not intended to r employ French
or Austrian troops to secure the reinstallation
of the Duke of Tuscans

Modena

least, Napoleon is reported to have said 'so to
more than one person here. If this assurance be ad-
hered to, by what magical process are those distin-
guished Potentates to re-ascend their thrones? They
are mistaken if they imagine they will be allowed to
do so unless backed by a force of some kind. Can he
of Modena muster an army of his own sufficient for
the purpose ? The Tuscan army, as you by this time
know, has been recalled, and has gone back in all haste
to Florence. As it was lately bought by the revolu-
tionary party, it is possible that it may allow itself to

be bo-ught Lack again by the Grand Duke. But,
according to all accounts, it is of very little value to
anybody. Meanwhile there is a report of an alliance
between Modena, Tuscany, and the Legations' to pro-
tect themselves against their Sovereigns. So far as

we as yet know, there are certainly no indication
but very much the contrary, of their being dispose
tranquilly to submit to the restoration of the old orde
of things. A despatch of yesterday, from Modena, sa3

that there, at Ifezzio, and in all the other towns,
tests against the return of the Duke are being signed

On Friday

the union with Piedmont reproclaimed
night the Mayor and corporation of Parma presented
to the Governor of the Parmesan States an addres
to the King renewing the compact of union. Th
National Guard was under arms and an immens
crowd assembled at the Governor's residen
uttering enthusiastic acelam:ttions. In

'uscany

they seem to have gone perfectly mad on learidni
the preliminaries of peace. They went to the
office of the 21-lonitore, and broke up the type
in which the news had been . composed. The
Council of State protested- against the return of the
dynasty, made Iticasole, dictator, displayed the Pied-
montese flag, and saluted it with 101 guns. From
the Legations I have not yet received accounts ; but
vc-fmay be very sure that the 'fury there will be
even greater than anywhere else. Massimo d'Azeglio,
who was received there with transports of joy, has
arrived in Turin to-day, He has not brought back
with him the two Piedmontese battalions which pre-
ceded him thither. Certainly nothing can be more
complete than
.the mess (the pasticcio, as the Italian
call it), which has been made in the IA
d'Azeglio's proclamation, published the same day or
which the preliminaries of peace were signed, he say
that he has not gone thither to prejudge political ques-
tions, but to carry out the Emperor's wise' exhortation
to " be all soldiers to-day, if to-morrow you would
be free and independent citizens." The Sardinian
Commissioner also gave a hint to the Bolognese,
who were illuminating, flower-throwing, and letting
off fireworks in his honour. " Nations are not
regenerated," he said, ,"by songs and gaiety, but by
labour and perils." He had with him Colonel
Pinelli and a staff.of officers in or(
contingent it was intended to raise

All tlii

Piedmont recalls her commissioners to the different
Italian provinces. these are left to themselves.
Count Pepoli, . the most prominent member of the
Provincial Government, which was virtually,
although not nominally, replaced by d'Azeglio, rs
now here. Who now governs in the four legations
is matter only for conjecture, but it would not be sur-
prising if something very like anarchy prevailed
there at the present moment. Pepoli had an inter-
view on Friday night with the Emperor Napoleon,
and asked him what he was to do.' " Tackez de con-
serrer l'ordre," is said to have been the reply, Much
more easily said than done. I hear that Montanelli
also had an audience of the Emperor during, the
latter's brief stay in Turin..
