AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 16.

It being notorious that the present deplorable
state of the Austrian finances has arisen from the
inordinate outlay for the army, the Lower Cham-
ber will hardly fail to subject the War Budget
for the year 1863 to a very strict revision. The
Minister of state, fearing that the representatives
of the people will refuse to grant the whole sum
demanded for the War Department, has urged
some of the more influential of them to abstain
from making opposition to the Government in
a matter in which the Emperor, in his capacity of
Commander in-Chief, is personally interested. The
Deputies in question—there were 16 of them—
listened with respectful attention to M. von
Schmerling, but they did not deem it advisable
to pledge themselves to any particular line of
conduct. During the interview between the
Minister and the 16 Reichsrathe the former was
asked whether the Government proposed to con-
tinue to defray the expenses of the troops belong-
ing to the Duke of Modena. M. von. Schmerling
replied that 65,000f1. per month would be re-
quired for the Modenese soldiers, " but," added
he, " there is reason to believe that the question
relative to their support will be satisfactorily
settled before the year 1863 is at an end." The
Committee of Finance would have taken the War
Budget in hand yesterday, had not Count Degen-
feld, the Minister of War, declared that he should
not be prepared to enter into details until Tuesday,
next. Dr. Giskra yesterday read to the com-
mittee his report on the proposed expendi-
ture of the War Department, but was not
heard by Count Degenfeld, as that high functionary
did not make his appearance until the learned
member for Brunn had finished his task. The
Ministers Rechberg, Schmerling, and Lasser, and
Lieutenant-General von Schmerling (the brother
of the Minister of State), were present during
the whole sitting, which was an unusually ani-
mated one. The debates in the various com-
mittees are not officially made known to the pub-
lic, but in general the substance of them is com-
municated to one or other of the daily papers.
A stipend of 3,600f1., which the Bishop of Carpi,
in the Duchy of Modena, has received ever since the
year 1815, is likely to lead to an interesting dis-
cussion in the Reichsrath. After the last war in
Italy the Bishop of Carpi demanded the 3,60011. of
the Sardinian authorities, but they referred the
right reverend stipendiary to the Austrians. The
3,600 A. were readily paid by the Imperial Govern-
ment, as it wished to stand well with the Italian
prelates, but the Committee of Finance finds it
strange that Austria should continue to
pay a salary
"to a bishop of the Italian kingdom." The Aus •
trian Cabinet professes not to understand what is
meant by a kingdom of Italy, but by the foregoing
it would appear that the Reicbsrath is less :dull of
comprehenEion. The total expenditure during the
I year 1863 is estimated at 362,000,0001 The interest
