AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, dated July llth, says :
The principal topic of conversation in this city is
the arrest of Prince Adam Sapieha, the son and
heir of the Marshal of the province of Galicia.
Some days ago the Russian Minister at this Court
observed to Count Rechberg that M. Wysocki
would not have been able to raise 1,800 men in
Galicia had he not been aided and abetted by some
men of influence in the province. M. von Balabine
then spoke of the undisguised hostility of Prince
Adam Sapieha to the Russian Government, and he
is said to have given information which led to
the arrest of that noblemen, who is a member
of the Galician Diet. By the warrant, which
was issued by the Criminal Court at Lemberg, we
learn that the only son of one of the most loyal,
Influential, and wealthy nobles in the Empire has
been arrested "on suspicion of having rendered
assistance to the revolutionary expedition to the
llussian province of Volhynia." At the same time
that Prince Adam Sapieha—a married man, about
35 years of age—was deprived of his liberty, the
police seized the papers of the Galician Agricultural
Society, and searched the palace of Prince Leo
Sapieha, who, as Marshal of the Province, is Presi-
dent of the Galician Diet. Sapieha possesses a large
castle at Krasiczn, near Przemysl, in Galicia, and the
telegraph informs us that it, on the 9th inst., was
searched from top to bottom by police agents from
Lemberg. Prince Adam Sapieha is a very ardent
patriot, and it is not unlikely that the atrocities
committed by Mouravieff and his colleagues have so
violently roused his indignation that he is indiffe-
rent to the possible consequences of his actions.
The Vienna papers express disapproval of the
conduct of the Uralician authorities, but it is morally
certain that the order for Prince Sapieha's arrest
was sent from this city to Galicia. The Russian
Consul at Lemberg avers that many of the men
under Wysocki's command were armed with
weapons of Austrian make, but no great importance
is here attached to his assertions, as the agents of
the Russian Government are in the habit of fabri-
cating news for the furtherance of their own ends.
At Lemberg it is now much the question of a des-
patch written by the Russian Commander in Radzi-
willow which chanced to fail into the hands of
General Wysocki. "In the document in ques-
tion," says the Lemberg correspondent of a Vienna
paper, .6 the Russian officer warmly expresses his
gratitude for certain information received from
the Austrian military and police authorities."
The name of the Austrian Colonel Kunsti,
who is stationed at Brody, has been men-
tioned in the matter in question, but no proof has
yet been adduced that he informed the Russians
that an expedition was about to cross the frontier
into Volhy nil.

On the let inst. the Polish National Government
published a proclamation, in which it is said that
the war will be continued as long as a Russian
foot is planted on Polish soil." There is so much
rhodomontade in the proclamation that it would
produce a most disagreeable impression on English
readers, and I therefore refrain from. forwarding a
summary of it. The invisible Government arro
gates to itself the right of treating with the Powers
when it shall be the question of separating Poland
from Russia, " a thing which must soon happen, as
the Polish nation feels that it is able to shake off
the Muscovite yoke."
