AUSTRIA.

The King of Prussia has conferred on M. de
Baumgartner, the Austrian Minister of Finance
and Commerce, the order of the Red Eagle, first
class, as an acknowledgment of his services on the
occasion of the Austro-Prussian treaty of com-
merce.

A letter from Frankfort, 22d, says :—" The
number of emigrants this year'lis very considerable.
In Hungary more than 4,000 passports have
already been given, a number of them for Cali-
fornia. The authorities make no difficulties about
granting passports, but the emigrant is obliged to
declare that he does not intend to return to
Austria."

and brilliant spectacle. The Grand's -1
cujinol
Riding School was very striking, and unitineae tia;e
first society of Vienna. The combats commenced
by the entry of two heralds bearing the colours of
the Empire of Germany, and with the eagle with
two heads on their cloaks. Next came the stan-
dard-bearer of the Empire, preceded and followed

by 24 trumpeters. He was followed by the Chief
of the Knights, the Archduke William, on a horse
richly caparisoned in blue and gold, and bearing
ih his hand a large naked sword. He wore a coat
of arms of white velvet embroidered with gold and
diamonds. He had on his breast a red cross sur-
mounted by a crown, and a blue scarf over his
shoulder. His arms and legs wore cased with
armour. The Archduke was accompanied by
twenty-four knights and twenty esquires, all
mounted on spirited horses. The cortege was
closed by two standard bearers and twelve knights.
Next came the procession of the Saracens led by
Prince Alexander of Wurtemberg, accompanied by
two Moores carrying his arms. He was mounted
on a fine Arabian horse, and was followed by six
Mamelouks, twenty-four noble Saracens, and
twelve Bedouins. Among the scions of the most
distinguished families, were remarked several offi-
cers of the Bourgeoisie, for in Austria merit is al-
ways taken into consideration, address and execu-
tion being the principal object in view. After the
quadrilles came races and combats."
A letter from Berne of the 23d, in the New
Gazette of Zurich, says :—" As was to be expected,
the Federal Council has resolved to break off
diplomatic relations with Austria, and to recal M.
Steiger, Swiss charge d'Affaires at Vienna. But
the necessary measures have been taken for the
signing of passports in that city. The ambassador
of Austria, in announcing his recal, said that a
continuation of diplomatic relations would be
without object—there was no question about the
dinner, which, however, is still said to have been
the immediate cause of his departure. The Federal
Council has taken no other resolution, and we can
affirm that the statement that it has called on '
General Dufour is perfectly false."
