Niitedible information has been received that the

grantecL real grievances redreFsed, and perhaps
some taxes remitted, but the principle of the unity
of the empire will be most rigidly maintained. A
person who is well aware of what is passing in the
Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom has given me some
curious information. The Archduke was in such a
hurry to get rid of the persons who represented the
Home Department, that he took the affairs out of
their hands before the members of his newly formed
bureau had obtained a proper knowledge of the
usual course of business, and the consequence of his
precipitancy was that the chief of his Cabinet was
obliged to borrow two or three experienced Govern-
ment clerks from Verona, The Minister of the
Interior and the military authorities in the Lom-
bardo Venetian Kingdom were on the coolest
possible terms while the former was there, and
the fatter are delighted that the new Governor
General will address himself directly to the
Emperor instead of to his Ministers. It affords
me extreme pleasure to be able to inform you
that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has " for the
present" declined to concluie with the Papal
Chair a Concordat like the Austrian. The
King of Naples positively refuses to give Rome a
documental right to infringe on his sovereign
rights, but he assures his Holiness that the Chunth
has no more faithful son than himself, and none
more willing to make voluntary concessions to her.
The fact is, that King Ferdinand shows as bold a
front to Rome and Austria as he dces to England
and France. The Austrian organs of the press
assert that the House of Sardinia has as
little claim to the reversion of Piacenza
as it has to Modena, but they are egregiously
mistaken. In the treat► concluded at Aix•la-
Chapelle in August, 1748, it is said that in ease
of the extinction of the male line of Don Philip
of Bourbon, or if that Prince or his descendants
should be called to the throne of Spain, or to that
of the two Sicilies (Naples), "the Sovereign or
Sardinia shall be entitled to the Duchy of Piacenza
up to the Stura." When in 1759 the Empress
Queen Maria Theresa ceded to Don Philip her
claim to the reversion of Parma, she added, that
she did not intend to "infringe on the rights which
the King of Sardinia claimed to the city and duchy
of Piacenza.

The most remarkable news of the day is that
Count Wimpffen, a Protestant, has been made
commander of the Ist Army, which occupies the
provinces of Upper and Lower Austria, Bohemia,
Moravia, and Styria. The Ist Army, which is
composed of four corps, has its head quarters in
this city. General Prince Felix Jablonowsky. who
had the command of a division, has been appointed
" Aye " or governor to the Archduke Louis Joseph,
the youngest brother of the Emperor.
The post of First Lady of the Bed Chamber to
the future consort of the Archduke Ferdinand
Max has been offered to the Countess Zichy, the
wife of the, noble who ,has just been appointed
Grand Master of the Household -to his Imperial
Highness, but she declined to accept it. The
Patriarch of Venice, who is at the point of death,
has received extreme unction. After the cere-
mony his Grace gave his blessing to all his

The Jesuit. Volks Freund, which is publishing a
