AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Correspondence of Vienna of the
15th says :—" Several German and other journals
have spoken of a loan as having been raised by our
Government abroad. We can state from a source
worthy of credit that this news is totally destitute
of foundation."

The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna, which says :—" Formerly the number of
Jews at Vienna did not exceed 12,000, but at pre-
sent they muster not less than 70,000. They have
purchased several plots of land here, and have
erected many houses on them. They have been
lately thinking of building a new synagogue. The
Deutsche Wolkshalle expresses a hope that, in con-
sequence of the late imperial ordonnance, the Jews
will be prohibited from erecting this synagogue,
and that Vienna will continue to preserve the
character of a Christian capital."
