The Vienna Gazette of the 12th publishes the
contradiction addressed by the Government to the
Presse, which had accused the,Trench Government
of having fomented the disturbances at Milan. The
Presse of the 10th contained an article in which it
said clearly enough that the French Government
had excited the outbreak. " That article ap-
peared," says the Gazette, "at a period when the
Presse could not have yet received any intelligence
from Milan, and the telegraphic dispatches in no
way justified such an offensive supposition. It re-
sults from this state of things, that this monstrous
accusation against a Government, on friendly terms
with Austria, only had birth in the imagination of
the editor of the Presse, who must be made to
answer for it."

MONTENEGRO.

The New Prussian Gazette has a letter from
Vienna, of the 10th, stating that very favourable
accounts have been received of the mission of Count
de Leinengen at Constantinople, relative to Mon-
tenegro. The writer says that the Divan had ac-
ceded to the propositions of Austria, and sent
orders to Omer Pacha to suspend hostilities.
A letter from Vienna of the 9th states, from
Montenegro, that the Austrian corps of observa-
tion has taken up its position on the banks of the
Enua.
