AUSTRIA.

A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna, dated Tues-
: day, states that the Emperor of Austria had gone
out a second time in a carriage, and was still more
improved in health.
We read in a German journal :—" When the
Archduchess Sophia, mother of the Emperor,
received the news of the execution of Libeny, she
burst into tears, and exclaimed, God grant that
this may be the last victim of seduction.' She
then sent money to all the churches of Vienna for
masses for the repose of the soul of Libeny, and
said, ' I know that no other person would think of
performing this act of religion. It is for me, the
mother, grateful to the Almighty for the preserva-
tion of the life of her son, ,and whose heart has
been most deeply affected by the rage and folly of
the convict, to accomplish this pious duty. Every
year during my life I will renew it at the anniver-
sary of the death of this unhappy man.' "
We extract the following from an article on the
Emperor of Austria in the Constitutionnel
" The Emperor Francis Joseph is of a tall and grace-
ful figure ; he has a high and open forehead, penetrating
blue eyes, and a smile the sweetness of which does not
exclude the supposition of great firmness ; his gait is
dignified, and his manners are distinguished by great
elegance. Although fond of pleasure, as young men
of 22 usually are, he never sacrifices business to it ; he
makes his duties a law from which he never deviates.
He rises regularly at five o'clock in 'the morning to de-
vote himself entirely to affairs of State. Sporting and
riding are the only recreations which he allows himself.
He may be seen every day leaving the Palace at two o'clock
to take his accustomed promenade, in the winter on foot on
the ramparts of the city, and in the summer on horseback
on the Prater, the Champs Elysees •of Vienna. He is
scarcely ever accompanied except by one aide-de-camp,
andis always dressed in a military uniform. Being one
of the best horsemen in Europe, he is fond of leaping the
ditches and barriers of the Prater, and he every day
tires out three horses in this dangerous exercise. No-
thing can be more curious than the manner in which he
travels. Whether in winter or in summer he always
uses an open carriage. His hand, which from his earliest
age haa been accustomed to manage a sword, has never
carried an umbrella ; he contents himself in bad weather
with merely throwing a soldier's cloak over his shoulders.
The sport which he most delights in is shooting the
black-cock, which is carried on at night, and' principally
in the month of February. At that period the Eilaperor
usually goes to the mountains of Styria, and passes
several nights in the open air, a bed of dry leaves under
the naked branches of the trees replacing the luxurious
beds of the Imperial palace of Vienna. His hardy con-
stitution braves with impunity privations of every kind ;
he can equally support heat, cold, and hunger."

A Vienna journal states that in commemoration
of the happy escape of the Emperor from assassi-
nation, the National Austrian Bank has placed
20,000 florins at the disposal of the Ministers of
the Interior and War for charitable purposes. On
the same occasion the Archbishop of Erlau gave
5,000 florins, the interest of which is to be em-
ployed in the education of an orphan daughter of
an Austrian officer who has fought in Italy or in
Hungary in a Hungarian regiment. The Chapter
has also given for the use of military invalids a large
house, the building of which, only a few years
since, cost 70,000 florins.

Au-stria has just paid the second and last in-
stalment of 1,796,230 florins to Russia for her in-
tervention in Hungary.

A letter from Constantinople of the 17th ult.,
in the Vienna Gazette, states that in his au-
dience to take leave, Prince Leiningen was
treated with great distinction by the Sultan, who
gave him a very friendly autograph letter for• the
Emperor of Austria.
