AUSTRIA.

---
The Breslau Gazette contains the following from
Vienna of the 24th :—" The Emperor came here
yesterday from Laxenburg to receive the English
ambassador, Lord Westmoreland, at a private audi-
ence. There is no doubt that the reply of the
English cabinet to the last communications of
Austria was the cause of this audience. As to the
result of the mission of Colonel Manteuffel, I can
affirm positively that it is of a nature to undeceive
these persons who hoped that the Russian proposi-
tions might trouble the unity of views of the two
German powers."

POLAND.
of Vienna, under date of Kalisch,
juTiyhe23L:oyd,
says
I lately informed you that General Rudiger, the
commander-in.chief of the first two corps of infantry and
of the corps of grenadiers, was making a tour of inspec-
tion of the fortresses of Poland. The general, after
visited Bresc-Litowski, left yesterday by the Vistula
steamb3at for the fortress of Nowogeorgiwsk (Modlin),
to inspect the fortification and the reserve of the 2d
corps of infantry recently formed. He was accom-
panied by several superior officers of artillery and
engineers. Several journals have announced -that
workmen were employed in pUtting theroads in Poland in
a proper condition for the transport of light artillery,
&c., but the statement was premature. The fact is,
tbat Colonel Olorinski, of the engineers, charged with
re-establishment of the means of communication in
Poland, put up to tender on the 14th ult., the works for
repairing the principal roads ; but this measure was not
approved by the Government, and no further tender will
be made until August next. General Wensegerode,
who commands a cavalry regiment at Lubin, and several
other generals, have just arrived at Warsaw. The
harvest is commencing. in Poland under the most fa-
vourable auspices ; in Podolia, on the contrary, the crop
will only be an average one." •

deuce in Spaniards as well as in Marshal Espartero.
She announces, moreover, the re-assembling of the
Cortes. The proclamation has been very well re-
ceived. The militia does duty at the Palace con-
jointly with the infantry of the line. Madrid is
tranquil. General San-Miguel displays much ac-
tivity in maintaining good order.
The militia had mounted guard at the palace in
conjunction with the troops of the line.
Letters received from different parts of Spain
announce that the country is tranquil.
A telegraphic despatch. from Paris says, General
Espartero entered Madrid on the 28th.
It would appear. that the conditions which Es-
partero attached to his acceptance of the Presi-
dency of the Council have been agreed to by the
Queen.

The Nacion adverts to the subject in the follow-
ing terms :
" Major-General Don Allande Salazar arrived on
Tuesday, July2s, at this Court, with a special mission
from the Duke de la Victoria to her Majesty the Queen.
" On alighting he went to the palace, in order to
state to the Queen with the frankness and patriotiSni
which characterise him, the only programme of govern-
ment with which General Espartero compromises himself
to accept the high charge confided to him.
" Her Majesty replied that she would think on what
he had stated, and would inform him of her resolution.
" Senor Salazar was summoned to the palace at 10
p.m., and there being present there the Senor San
Miguel, the Queen declared that she accepted, in all its
parts, the programme of the hero of Luchana. The
San Miguel and Salazar retired at once highly pleased,
the latter taking post at once to return to Saragossa.
"In sight of this we ought to consider the entry of
the Pacificator of Spain into Madrid as very near at
hand."
The only conditions imposed by Espartero, which
were verbal ones, it is said, were these

1. The convocation of constituent Cortes,
by universal suffrage.
2. The departure of Queen Christina from Spain.
It is expected that very important questions will
be brought before the constituent or sovereign
Cortes, and it is not certain that the subject of the
dynasty will be excluded from their deliberations.
The diplomatic body were summoned to the pa-
lace at half-past eight o'clock on the evening of the
24th at an hour's notice. Our Charge d'Affaires,
Mr. Otway, was the first to arrive ; but, to the an-
noyance of every one, tie members of the corps
were informed that a counter order had been given.
It was said that the Queen was indisposed. SomO
thought they were summoned to hear her Majesty
announce her intention to abdicate. It was seriously
talked of to blow up the palace, by placing barrels
of gunpowder in the subterranean passages, of
which there are great numbers underneath and
about it, and if the hostile attitude of the palace be
kept up it may be attempted. The people have got
possession of the powder magazine at the Campo
de Guardias. The announoement by the Junta
Bads-
of the Queen's reply to Senor Salazar being
factory, and that Espartero will soon be at te head
of affairs, may calm the excitement which has hi-
therto prevailed. The Junta conclude their address
to the people with " Vivas for Isabel 11., Consti-
tutional Queen."
The wounded in the military hospital, in conse-
quence of the late struggle, exceed 800. The
deaths probably amount to nearly half that num-
ber.
The 24th was Santa Christina, and in order to
show the popular hatred which exists towards
Queen Christina, orders were sent by the authori-
ties of the barricades to all housekeepers not to
illuminate, as had been done every night for the
last week. In the Calle del Principe a death's
head was displayed over the barricades, with crape
around it, and an inscription above, " Santa Chris-
tina." The was no levee at the palace as usual 011
this day.
Brigadier Narciso Ameller has been appointed
commander-in-chief of the men at the barricades.
The Junta have closed all the Ministerial offices,
except that of War, which is held at the Palace of
Buena Vista. The latter edifice has been prepared
fur the reception of the Duke de la Victoria.

ITALY.
A despatch received by the French Government
on Saturday night states that Parma was tranquil
on the 25th. Several of the insurgents had been
keen killed and 17 wounded, in a skirmish which
occurred on the 22d.
Two soldiers who had joined the movement had
been condemned and shot.
Numerous Austrian reinforcements had arrived.

EGYPT.
The Constitutionnel has the following on the
change that has taken place in Egypt :
"e sudden death of Abbas Pasha has called to the
Government of Egypt his uncle, Said Pacha. Ac-
cording to European ideas of succession to the throne,
it would have appeared that the Egyptian vice-
royalty should have belonged to the son of Abbas
Pacha, Hami Pacha, who has just left Alexandria
on a tour in Europe. Such, however, is not the order
of succession according to the patriarchal law as set down
in the Koran. The heir to the throne is always the eld'
est of the family. A curious example of this was seen at
the time of the death of Ibrahim Pacha. Mehemet Ali
left three sons, Ibrahim Pacha, Toussoum Pacha, and
Said Pacha. After Ibrahim Pacha, the viceroyalty fell
to Abbas Pacha, the son of Toussoum Pacha, wbo had
died some time before, and not to Said Pacha, for the
reason that Abbas Pacha beiug born in 1813, and Said
Pacha in 1822, the former was the elder, and conse-

uncle ; whereas now it is the uncle who succeeds, to the
prejudice of the nephew, in consequence of priority of '
birth. Said Pacha was born in 1822, and he is,
therefore, 32 years of age, and not 36, as has been
stated by a contemporary. As he comes to power in
the prime of life, it may be hoped that he will govern
Egypt for many years. He is a prince endowed with
fine and noble qualities, and is highly esteemed by
the enlightened part of the nation, who have al'
ways founded very sanguine hopes on him. His
struction is very remarkable ; he not only has a we-
grounded knowledge of the ordinary sciences, but be has
studied with particular attention history and navigation.
He speaks with elegance and purity several living lar
guages of the Eist and West, and particularly Frew-
`.ih the literature of which country he is perfectly .
rsatit. Being of an enlightened and liberal mind. he
takes pleasure in encouraging a taste for intellectual
knowledge in others. He has for this reason
stantly supported at his expense, in the different schodilfil.
of Europe, numerous pupils belonging to the mosti„ this
