AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JUNE 6.

The prolonged debate on the Budget question
has been brought to a very sudden and unexpected
close. Both Houses of the Reichsrath readily
authorized M. von Plener to raise 50,000,000f1.,
with which to cover the deficit for the current year,
but the Lower Chamber refuses either to impose
new taxes or to augment those which already exist
until the sum required by Government has been
definitively fixed. During the sitting held on the
3d inst. more than one side-blow was given to the
Minister of Finance, but on the following day he
was directly charged with "shortsightedness, in-
consistency, and rashness." M. von Plener spoke
at length in his own defence, and M. von Schmer-
ling followed on the same side, but what they said
produced little or no impression, as M. von
Hopfen, the Reporter of the Committee of Fi-
nance, had previously informed the House that the
Minister of Finance had made a great mistake
in his calculations, as the deficit for 1862 was
74,000,00011., and not 60,000,00011. This unlooked
for communication produced a most disagreeable
impression on the House ; and it showed its want
of confidence in M. von Plener by expressing its
resolve not to take in hand the question relative to
the augmentation of the taxes " until it had been
made evident what sum of money would effect the
restoration of the equilibrium between the revenue
and the expenditure." During the whole sitting
very great excitement prevailed, and the House
was once on the point of refusing to consent to any
augmentation of the taxes.
