AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, 24.—Since the arrival of General Baron
von Hess, a sort of council of war—that is, delibe-
rations on military matters—have been held, at
which the English General Du Platt (now happily
recovered from his recent indisposition), and the
French General Letang, were present. The results
of these deliberations I am unable to report to you.

The Austrian Correspondence informs us that
Count Esterhazy, the Austrian envoy extraordi-
nary at the Prussian Court, left Vienna this morn-
ing for Berlin. The semi-official journal takes this
opportunity of adverting to the fact that seve-
ral Vienna papers have stated that Count Ester-
hazy's return to his post at Berlin would proba-
bly be deferred for some time, or even altogether
abandoned, owing to the diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vienna and Berlin Cabinets having as-
sumed an unfriendly character, and, by way of
giving this false intelligence an impressive con-
tradiction, it is added that the Count has departed
hence "to continue his mission at the closely-
befriended Prussian Court."

M. von der Pfordten, the Bavarian Prime
Minister, is shortly expected here from Berlin,
where he is now staying He will be received
here with lively satisfaction, because (thus speaks my
informant) " the necessity of a satisfactory arrange-
ment with Prussia is felt here now more than
ever." Upon the same authority, I may add,
" there are reasons to believe that the present
mission of M. von der Pfordten will greatly facili-
tate a unanimous and harmonious resolution on
the part of all the German Federal States in respect
of the Oriental question."

PARIS, FRIDAY EVXNING.
The following private telegraphic despatches have

been received to-day
" MARSEILLES, 26th.—Accounts from Shanghai
of the 26th August state that the Jeanne d'Arc
frigate, which had gone on shore on a sand bank,
has been got off after five days hard labour, and
has been brought into that port to repair. Admiral
La Guerre directed the different operations."
" VIENNA, 25th.—It is expected that the States
of the Confederation will take part with Austria."

" BERLIN, 26th (Evening).—The .Nev, Prussian
Gazette has received an official order from the Prus-

sian Government to discontinue its attacks upon
the French Government. It has been at the same
time informned that if these attacks should be re

ue'.ved, it will be instantly suppressed."
" MADRID, 24th.—The Gazette gives favourable
news from Cuba, and r date of the 9th ult. A
civic fête was celebrated here with great pomp on
the 22d."
Most of the Paris journals of this day appear
without leading articles, and what little there is in
the original columns of the other journals is desti-

tute of interest.
The Emperor has received a letter in which the
Duke of Saxe Altenbourg notifies to his Majesty
the birth of the Princess M,tria Frederica Leopol-
dina Georgina Augusta Alexandra Elizabeth The-
resa Josephine Helena Sophia, his daughter.
By an Imperial decree the electoral colleges of
the second circumscription of the department
of the Cantal are convoked for the 19th November
next, for the election of a deputy to replace M. de
la Gueronniere, who has been named Councillor of
State.
The Moniteur says :—" The Minister of Justice
has just transmitted to the Minister of War the
following report from the President of the Imperial
Court of Pau, which furnishes a fresh proof of the
devotedness of our soldiers :
" 'ln the midst of the frigbful ravages of the cholera
in the arrondissement of Saint•Girons (Ari6ge), the sol-
diers of the garrison of Foix detached in the country
rendered the greatest services. The .whole garrison
wished to be engaged in the mission offered to a few,
and it was necessary to have recourse to a ballot to se-
lect those who regarded it as a favour to go without
any increase of pay into a country ravaged by the
cholera. The 40 soldiers distributed throughout the
country were only charged to maintain order, but they
took on themselves the duties of nurses, they took care
of the cattle, got in the crops, tilled the ground, and one
of them died of the cholera. The country people are
deeply grateful for this noble and courageous conduct.'
The Minister of War has testified his satisfaction at
the conduct of those men, who, while their brethren
in arms combat at a distance, resolutely face. a
danger less glorious, but not less formidable."
