AUSTRIA.

A. letter from Vienna, dated the 3d inst., says :
" Immediately on his return from his leave of ab•
senee, Lord Bloomfield had an interview with Count
de Rechberg respecting the affairs of Greece. The
Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs is said to have
informed the hnglifih Ambassador that, as Austria
was no party to the protocol of London of 1832, she
could not consequently have anything to do in a
question which exclusively concerned the protect-
ing Powers; but that if the present movement out-
stepped the limits of Greece and interfered with the
status quo in the East, as fixed by the Treaty of
Paris, she would think it not only her right but her
duty to interfere.

"In an interview which took place yesterday
with Prince Callimachi, Count de Rechberg ex-
plained himself in similar terms,"
" The recent despatches between Lord Russell
and Prince Gortschakoff have given rise to a note
from the representative of the Porte at St. Peters-
burg.

" The private secretary of King Otho, Baron de
Wendtlund, has arrived here."

POLAND.
(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

WARSAW, Nov. 1.

We have not yet recovered from the painful
stupor produced by the banishment of Count An-
drew Zamoyski. This act of stupid tyranny has
acquired the character of cruelty by the death of
the Countess Zamoyski, who, dangerously ill, was
left to die without seeing the companion of forty
years' happy union, in spite of all the entreaties of
her husband, and his promise not to see anyone but
her. The whole of Poland resented the wrong in-
flicted by a revengeful and brutal hand on one of
its most noble sons. And what are the faults he is
so cruelly to expiate—what danger does his presence
in the country offer to the Government ? These
faults are, his pure and unimpeachable character,
his devotedness to his country, and his courageous
frankness in claiming rights and justice where
brutal force and duplicity alone are the resort of the
Government. The danger of his presence lies in the
popularity his patriotic virtues have acquired with
the nation, and the example he sets to his coun-
trymen in opposition to the work of systematic
demoralisation carried out by the foreign domi-
nators. To the grief this noble heart carries
with him into a glorious exile, a deeper sorrow has
been added by separating him from a beloved wife
dying far from him. Thus the foreign despotism
oppressing the country weighs not only upon the
public life of the nation, but reaches even like a
curse the family life of the children of this unfor•
tunate country. If any consolation could alleviate
the mournful feeling of the Count, the general and
deeply-felt sympathy and love he inspires through-
out Poland can prove to him that the nation knows
how to appreciate his services and share his suf-
ferings.

Since the departure of Count Andrew nothing
worth notice has occurred. From time to time some
new regulations are published, shaped so that it
may look abroad like reforms ; but none are carried
out, as usually some other order, issued by the
state of siege authorities, alters or puts off anything
which may have the character of legality or trttion-
ality. The Council of State holds its sittings with
closed doors ; the Government is silent, and as no
one but its organ is permitted to speak about home
matters, nothing is known about the important and
urgent measures which are looked for. Still every-
one knows what is going on in their sittings.
Many motions have been made by members of this
council, but some have not even been permitted to
be entered into the minutes. Among the objects
which have been allowed to be brought forward,
the project of a law, providing that every person
arrested should be informed of the reason of his
apprehension in the space of 24 hours, and brought
before his judge in the course of three days, was
unanimously adopted by the council, the Grand
Duke approving of it. Very probably a decree will
but
be published in accordance with this project,
its execution will be of course suspended
during
the
state of siege, and this state lasts l
for 30 years, and in the Polish provincesekingdom
ofthe em-
pire since their annexation.
