AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 4.
The Sardinian organs of the press still affirm
that the Emperor Francis Joseph neglected to
condole with King Victor Ernmandel when he lost
his wife, mother, and brother, but proof positive
has been given the that the assertion is incorrect.
As sooh as the telegraphic news of the death
of the above mentioned relatives of His
Sardinian Majesty reached this city, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs received orders from the
Emperor to instruct his diplomatic agent
at Turin to express his (the Emperor's) heartfelt
sympathy. Towards the end of the mouth of
February, 1856, the Marquis of Cantono had an
audience of the Emperor, and presented to him
letters from the King of Sardinia, in which the
latter communicated to the Austrian monarch the
heavy losses which he had sustained. The letters
in question were signed by king Victor Em-
manuel, and countersigned by Count Cavour,
On the 7th of March, 1855, two letters
of condolence, signed by the Emperor, and coun-
tersigned by Count Buol,we're addressed to the
King of Sardinia. The documents, which were in
the Latin language, referred to the deftinceDowager
Queen Maria Theresa and to the . Queen Maria
Adelaide. In the letter in:. which the Emperor's
sorrow for the death of the first mentioned lady was
expressed, mention was made of her " most eminent
and rare virtues." On the 22d March another letter,
which was also in the Latin language, was address-
ed by the Emperor to the King of Sardinia, and in
it his sorrow for the death of Ferdinand Maria
Albert, Duke of Genoa was expressed. The Austrian
Minister for Foreign Affairs also gave to Count
Cavour the assurance that he felt the greatest
sorrow for the heavy and irreparable losses which
the King had sustained. The Vienna papers no
longer carry on a war of wordawith the Turin organs
of the press, and the latter are somewhat less
violent than they were. Reliable information has
been received that the news of the interruption
of the diplomatic relation* between Austria and
Sardinia produced a very unfavourable impression
in Lombardy. My opinion in respect to the
inhabitants of the .Lombardo-Venstian kingdom is
unchanged. It is not likely that the Austrian
Government will succeed in winning the sympathy
of the nation, but it will assuredly display less
hostility now that the brute force system has been
abolished. Whatever the Bardinian papers may
ts,PIX ;°oiNaS`d'drV'euetian 'lriti—gaiinilias not been in
vain. The people have seen that his Majesty is
desirous to improve their material condition, and
that he is not likely to be deaf to any of their
just and reasonable complaints. At noon on the
31st of March Count Gyulai made his entry
into Milan as Commander of the second army.
The troops paraded, and the artillery of the

forts saluted, but the Milanese, with whom Count
Gyuli is anything but a favourite, remained
within their four walls, while his Military Excel
lency was passing in state through the streets of
the city.
During the last year much has been said and
written against the abuse of " crinoline," but the
inhabitants of this city have just had a proof that
it may sometimes be of real service to the wearer.
A young English girl who was employed as gover-
ness in the family of an employe, was so dissatisfied
with her lot that she resolved to put an end to her
life by jumping from the ramparts into the dry
moat. An officer, who saw the poor girl put her
suicidal design into execution, relates "that she
looked like a balloon in the air." The height of
the wall of the city at the spot where the attempt
at felo de se was made may be about 45 feet, but
the girl was so little hurt by her fall " that she
walked away as if nothing had happened."
The day before yesterday it was definitively
settled that the State should.. during a'period of
three years, disburse 70,000f1 per annum for
prizes to be given to the winners of races which are
to be held at Vienna, Prague, Lemberg, Pesth, and
Klausenburg. The prizes are to be in hard cash.
The attention of those persons who are about to
travel by way of Dresden to this city is called to
the fact, that " through carriages" are now at-
tached to each train, so that a person entering one
of them at Dresden can remain in it until he
reaches Vienna. Before the Ist of this month the
travellers' between Dresden and Vienna had to
change carriages at Prague and at Bruun.
A correspondent informs the -Augsburg Gazette
that a civil war is likely to break out in Monte
negro. After the death of the late Vladika there
were two parties in Montenegro, and one of them
was strongly opposed to the accession of a layman
to the throne. This was the Old Montenegrin or
Russian party. Russia fully expected that the
Montenegrin Prince would endeavour to make some
diversion in her favour during the war, but, as he
remained inactive, the St. Petersburg government
has refused any longer to pay the stipend which the
Vladikas (nominally " the Church") have received
from the Russian sovereigns since the year 1721
At the outbreak of the war, the Russian Colonel
Kovalevski endeavoured to excite the Montenegrins
to break the peace, but Austria ordered the
Servian Colonel Stratimirovich to take the field
against him, and he was obliged to retire from
Montenegro, as the mountaineers had great
confidence in the Austrian officer, who was
with them when they did battle against
Omar Pasha. About three years ago Peter
Petrovitch, the brother of the President of the
Senate, who is now here, was banished by his
nephew, Prince Daniel, and since that time the
Russian party has lost much of its influence in
Montenegro. The new code and the new taxes
have, however, caused great discontent in Montene-
gro, and the agents of Russia are now endeavour-
ing to take advantage of the strong feeling which
there is against Prince Daniel. The intentions and
views of Austria are not yet clear, but she certainly
does not approve of the Gallo-Turkish idea of
giving the Sutorina to the restless Montenegrins.
It must be observed that the correspondent
of the Augsburg Gazette makes use of the expression
" Russo-Austrian Party in Montenegro." The
latest news from Cattaro is, that the Montenegrins
(Russian Party) demand the removal of Prince
Daniel's brother, Mirko, and the convocation of an
" Hromada," which is a kind of Divan ad hoc. It
is said that the chiefs of the Montenegrin tribes
will petition the Great Powers to send commissa-
series to Cettinye while the " Hromada" is holding
its sittings.

The.nCurrain has appeared among the cattle at
Ungartsch, a station on the Northern Railroad,
at a distance of about 1000 English miles from
Vienna. Until now only two oxen have died, but
