AUSTRIA AND THE PORTE.

The Moniteur has also the following :
" We announced by a telegraphic despatch that the
Porte had transmitted to the Ottoman authorities of
Albania the order to receive, amicably, the troops that
Austria would send into that province to assist in the
maintenance of the power of the Sultan. On this sub-
ject the Divan has addressed the following instructions
to the commanders-general of the provinces of Janina,
Tricala, Herzegovina, Bosnia, Scutari, Albania, and
Salonica ; as also to the Pacha of Belgrade, to the Im-
perial Commissary in Epirus, Fund Effendi, and to the
Governor of Roumelia.

" The Austrian Government will send some vessels to
the waters of Prevesa and Arta to support by sea, in
concert with the vessels of the allied Governments, the
cordon of troops which will be established on the fron-
tiers of Greece, in consequence of the disturbances
which have risen in the provinces of Janina and Tricala.
It will also cause to advance towards Albania a por-
tion of the troops which are in the district of Cattaro,
to prevent, on the one hand, the insurrectionary move-
ment extending to the north of the province, and, on
the other hand, to prevent the Montenegrins joining the
rebels, should they feel inclined to do so.
"This measure, which testifies the unity of views and
accord Which exists on this question between the Court
of Austria and the Governments of England and France,
allies of the Sublime Porte, and its good sentiments for
the Government of his Imperial Majesty, has been con-
certed between the two Courts. On the other hand, it
concerns the dignity of the Sublime Porte that troops
sent by a neighbouring and sincerely friendly Govern.
ment to testify actively its benevolent intentions should
enjoy the most perfect treatment under the auspices of
his Majesty the Sultan.
"It is, therefore, necessary that the motives of the
appearance of the Austrian vessels of war should be per-
fectly understood, and that they should be treated with
courtesy. Should troops of the same nation come from
the Albanian side, they are also to be treated as friends
with all possible civility (egarcls) during their passage,
and during the stay they may make, till the object of
their visit is obtained.

"The greatest care must be evinced to procure for
them everything they may want. As these troops will
naturally return to Austria as soon as their object shall
have been obtained, that is to say, when the disturbances
shall have been put down in the countries in question,
the same facilities shall be provided for them at their
departure as on their arrival. Moreover, as Bosnia,
Servia, and Herzegovina are next to Montenegro, it is
to be supposed that great excitement would be created
there in the public mind if the real state of things was
not known there. And as the entrance of these troops
has been decided upon with the consent of the Sublime
Porte, and on sufficient guarantees, there is nothing in
this fact which may give rise to suspicions, and wise
and prudent means must be adopted to refute any in-
exact ideas which might be circulated on the subject.
" His Imperial Majesty has, therefore, ordained that
instructions shall be addressed on all these points to the
Governors• General and other functionaries, who ought
to be informed. In consequence, necessary orders have
been issued to the proper quarters, and a special com-
missary will be appointed and sent here."
VIENNA, Tuesday, June 6.—Austria has resolved
to raise the military cordon on the frontier of the
canton of Tessin, the Swiss Federal Council having
given satisfactory assurances for a future good un-
derstanding.
