AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 7th, •in the Dres-
den, Gdz:ette, says=--" It is known that in
,the last
meeting of the co't&reficeof Vienna, ,the Russian
Bienipoteutiaxies declared`_ filaS they would refer
to their GOVerninent the prOject of mediation pro-
posed by-Austria on the third point, and which had
been rejected by the Western Powers. It is stated
that the reply of the Russian Government has just
been received in the form of a note addressed to
Prince GortSchakoff, and it is rumoured in well-
4..nformed circles that the cabinet of. Vienna consi-
ders the contents of this note as satisfactory."
A letter from Vienna,. in =Voss's Gazette of B6r-
lip; says :—" The 4'00:1 tepor4'of the-situation of
•Ttaly are far-;front favalliaole• The, state of the
pul.)lic mind in the Roman provinces; in -particu-
lar, excites great Uneasiness, It, is less the proceed-
ings of the Mazzini party that create 41a-rm than
the increasing :distress .of the .working classes in
-various towns, and it is that circumstance which
has caused Marshal Radetsky to ask for a reinforce-
ment of 40,000 men.. It is now thought that the
Emperor and Empress of Austria will not-go to
Italy, as at first intended, but to ischl, with the
Archduke Charles and the Archduchess Sophia."

'?SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived.
They contain news from Barcelona to the sth, and
it was to the effect that though the workmen
continued to abstain from work they were
committing no excesses. The Espana says
that Marshal Espartero had sent a despatch to
Barcelona to the effect that he was disgusted
at seeing his name mixed up in the recent dis-
turbances, and that he would be the very first
to draw his sword to defend .the constitutional
throne of Queen Isabella. In the Cortes, the Mi-
nister of the Interior had declared that the Govern-
meut was determined to support the tribunals of
Barcelona, and that a prosecution of the murderers
of M. Sol y Padris bad been commenced. He an-
nounced also that in the questions pending between
masters and workmen in Catalonia, it is the inten-
tion of Government to allow the most complete li-
berty to both parties. The Gazette says that the
reinforcements sent from Madrid to Catalonia are
not so large as stated in the newspapers—that, in
fact, only one regiment has been sentoff ; it says also
that it is not true, as has been stated, that all the
vessels of war have received orders to assemble in
the waters of Valencia and Alicante to convey
troops to that province. The same journal like-
; wise states that it is not true, as asserted in some
of the journals, that extraordinary powers have
been given to General Za.patero at Barcelona, but
that his powers are neither more nor less than
what are usually exercised by a Captain-General
during a state of siege.
