AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 24th, in the
Leipsic Gazette, says :—" Lord Elliott, who re-
places Lord Westmoreland at the Embassy dur-
ing his absence, had a long conference with
Count Buol yesterday, in consequenceof despatches
received from London. The subject of the inter-
view is stated to have been the formation of the
Italian legion. Lord Elliott is said to have de-
clared, in the name of his Cabinet, that the Wes-
tern Powers are still resolved not to take advan-
tage of the present crisis to moot questions of na-
tionality, and that the depots of recruits now at
Novara will be removed further from the Austrian
fron tier."

The Austiian Gazette of the 23d says :—" The
most contradictory reports have been in circulation
on the subject of the sittings of the council of the
empire, which for some time past have been held
every day. It appears that financial questions only
have been under consideration. The Emperor has
declared that it was necessary that the state should
at any cost repay the debt contracted with the na-
tional Bank, in order that that establishment may
resume its cash payments, and the means for
effecting this reimbursement have been under con-
sideration. It is positively stated that it is in con-
templation to reorganise the direct taxes, and that
large properties will be taxed more heavily. It is
also endeavoured to establish an equilibrium be-
tween the receipts and expenditure, and the an-
nouncement of some important financial measure
is very shortly expected."
