In a single day, in a single hour, confidence disap

Apital beheld itself in the most grievous conflict. The
General, seized with consternation, like the foolish man
who forsees nothing, instantly formed in his palace a

vain illusion. Credit has received a mortal wound,
incurable by any doctor. At last it was decided that the
Spanish Bank should raise a great loan, but nobody comes
forward with the money, or will acc-pt the guarantees
offered; and so things go on from bad to worse. For
some months past the receipts of all the cust-m-houses of

The Police Court of Paris delivered the follow-
ing judgments yesterday:—Pierre Batifoulier, a
journeyman hairdresser, to be imprisoned thirteen
months, and to pay a fine of 500 f , for an offence
against the person of the Emperor, and for insult-
ing the police agents; 2 Pierre Combet, labourer,
to imprisonment for eight months and a fine of
500 E, for an offence against the person of the
Emperor, for quitting the place of residenco
assigned to him by the police authorities, and for
violating a degree of expulsion.
T.ae following despatches have been received :
" BERNE, SEPT. 13.

" The Federal Council is sending Colones Stehlin and
Kurz as Commissioners to the Government of Vaud, to
see to the execution 'of tha decisions of the Council. Oa
its side the Government of Vaud has convoked the

mittee of the la-ink of Prussia, w;iich took place today,

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, SEPT. 17

German polLicians have. ceased to trouble them-
selves about the approaching meting of the two
Emperors at Sttittgard, but they would hardly be
so indifferent if they recollected that the famous
Congress began at Erfurt on the 27th of September.
On that day—in 1803—Napoleon I. mat the Em-
peror Alexander I and his brother the Grand Duke
Constantine, the Kings of Saxony, Bavaria, West-
phalia, and Wurtemberg, Prince William of Prussia,
the Grand Duke of Baden, the Pr:nce Primate, the
Hereditary Princes of Bavaria, Baden, Darmstadt.
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and
nineteen of the minor German p Aentates. On the
12th of October a " most secret" (seeretissime)
convention was signed between France and
Russia, and its fifth article was, that the two
Powers pledged themselves to make it an "abso-
lute condition" to a peace with England that she
should acknowledge Finland, Wallachia, and
Moldavia to be integral parts of the Russian
Empire. By Article 8 the Emperor of the
French recognised the Danube as the boundary
of the Russian Empire. It is by no means
probable that Napoleon 111. will follow the
example of the founder of his dynasty ; but as the
Coregoing historical facts are but little known to
the public, it appeared advisable to make mention
of them. The Emeeror of Russia received Field-
Marshal Lieutenant von Parrot, the Austrian
officer who was sent to Warsaw, with great kind-
ness, sad gave him. the Order of the White
Eagle.
According to the official Gazetta di Venezia, the
Emperor•gave orders that from that day on which
his Holiness quitted Bologna nothing more should
be paid by the Papal G )vernment for the Austrian
corps of occupation. In 1850 the' Austrian and
French troops in the Legations and in Rome cost
the state 800,000 scudi (about 100,000), but the
greater part of that sum was expended for the
maintenance of the Austrians Two or three years
later a reduction was made in the Austrian corps,
and the Papal Government then paid 250,000 scudi
(X 50,000) towards its support: In 1856 the subsidy
paid by Roma was £17,009 In future. all the
expenses attending the occupation of Ancona and
Bologna are to be defrayed by Austria, excepting
those for barracks and quarters for the troops.
France receives no payment from the Papal Go-
vernment for the Lrces which she has at Rome.

The autograph letter addressed by the Emperor
to the Governor-General of Hungary is said to have
bun written by the Minister of the Interior, and
it id probable that, suolt was the case, for he came

here for a few hours, and then returned to the
mountains. On the 9cli a Cabinet Council was held,
at which only Baron .Bash and one or two other
Ministers were present, and on that day the above-
mentioned letter was signed. The Minister of the

nterior is said to be in high spirits, and to

rc.,k)icc greatly that he has obtained such
a signal ,victory over his numerous enemies. No
fewer than 99 squadrons of cavalry and eight
batteri, s of horse artillery (some 14,000 men) aro
now encamped at Parendorf, where important
experiments are to be made. It is the question
of the introduction of a new cavalry regle-
men& and such a large force has been brought
together in Order that it may have a fair trial.
Soon after the manoeuvres at Parendorf are
at an end, his Majesty will go to Prague
to see the ex-Emperor Ferdinand, and thence to
Berlin to return the -visit of the King of

Prussia. • We learn from Darmstadt that the
!'lmpress of liussia anti the Princees Olga of Wir-
temberg are gone to 011op;ne. The Vienna papers
teem with letters written by .peraons Who are on

board the Novara; but none of them contain any
news likely to interest a nation so intima`ely ac-
quainted with nautical affairs as the English. The
circumnavigators of the earth cast anchor in the
port of Rio Janeiro on the sth of August. There
were some few cases of scurvy on board, although
the crew had been well supplied with preserved
meats and, vegetables.
A Vienna corespondent of the Augsburg Gazette
states, that no fewer than 65 French engineers have
been engaged by the Lombardo-Venetian Railroad
Company, although nothing has been done during
eighteen months but the line between Bergamo
and Cocceglio. The Archduke Governor-General
complained to the Emperor of the slowness of the
company, and the director en chef of the Austrian
State Railroads has been sent to Italy to examine
into the cause of the delay.
The- actors of the Burg or Court Theatre are
Imperial employes, and Consequently have a good
position in society ; hut one of them has just
received from the Emperor such a reward for his
services as has never before been given in Austria
