AUSTRIA.

VIENN.A, Nov. 10.— The Austrian Correspondenz
has a short article to-day, which refers to the
mission of M. von der Pfordten, who left Vienna
this morning to return to Munich. The semi-
official journal informs us that "the object of his
Excellency's journey was to promote, if possible,
a perfect unity of action of all the German Govern-
ments in respect of the Oriental question ; and that
this eminent statesman, having obtained at Vienna
all the needful explanations, will now be enabled
to make a full and ample (if not an altogether
satisfactory) report hereon to his royal Court."
We read in the Ost Deutsche Post of Vienna
that the object of M. Von Pfordten's visit to
Vienna was to obtain exact information as to the
real state of things by personal enquiry. No bind-
ing document had been signed at Vienna, but M.
Von Pfordten had given verbal assurances which
left no doubt as to the intention of Bavaria to
adopt the Austrian policy. It is stated that M. Von
Pfordten will visit several German Courts with a
view to support that policy. lie was very active
while at Vienna, attending diplomatic conferences,
and having frequent interviews with the represen-
tatives of the Western Powers.

The Nets Prussian Gazette states from Vienna,
Bth, that the military preparations of Austria have
been going on uninterruptedly, notwithstanding
the march of some troops has been countermanded
upon administrative non-political grounds. A
considerable army of reserve is being assembled to
support the army of Gallicia, and will. be stationed
in Moravia and Bohemia. Largo orders for ord-
nance aro being executed at Neustadt and Gratz
for this reserve.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived here to-day. It is evidently the Russian
account of the affair of the sth, of which we have
had a more authentic account in General Can-
robert's despatch of the 6th : . .
" Berlin, Nov. 13—St. Petersburg, Nov. 12.
" Prince Menschikoff writes, under date of the
6th, Yesterday two strong sorties were made from
Sebastopol ; one against the right • flank of the
enemy (the English,) and the other against the
left flank of his siege-works. The attack against the
right flank had for the result the taking of a battery,
the guns of which were spiked. There were considerable
losses on both sides. The result of the second sortie
was the spiking of fifteen guns. A French division
coming in pursuit of us endeavoured to mount to the
assault, but were repulsed with great loss.' "
Baron de Wendland, the Bavarian Minister, had
an audience of the Emperor yesterday, to deliver a
letter from his sovereign, notifying the death of
Queen Theresa Charlotte Louisa Frederica Amelia
of Bavaria, his mother. The Court has gone into
mourning or 21 days from yesterday.
The Courrzer de t'Aude announces on authority
that M. de Bonnechose, Bishop of Carcassone, will
not accept the bishopric of Evreux, to which he was
recently nominated.
The visit of Lord and Lady Palmerston to the
Emperor has been postponed, and it is stated
that they aro not coining to Paris.
General Canrobert addressed the following order
of the day to the army on the 23d ult. :
" On visiting the trenches, the batteries, and the works
directed against the enemy, I have satisfied myself that
great exertions have been made, and important re-ults ob-
tained, since we are already close to the ramparts of the
glacis. I have witnessed everywhere the courage and
ardour with which the work has been carried on, and
have had ample proof of the excellent spirit which
animates the troops. I thank them in the name
of our country, and of the Emperor, to whom
I made known the vigorous attitude of his
army in the Crimea, by placing before them
the names of all those who are entitled to recom-
pense. To insure success in siege operations pa-
tient and persevering energy is most required, and
that which you have displayed, together with the vic-
tory of the Alma, has greatly depressed the spirits of
the garrison, which every day grows weaker, having
lost the Governor of the fortress, killed by one of your
cannon balls, and a great number of officers and soldiers.
Several of its magazines have been blown up or set on
fire, and I have the best authority for stating that they
entertain very slight hopes of saving the place. With
such chances in our favour we shall soon be able to
plant our eagles on the walls of Sebastopol. Having
done justice to the attitude of the army generally, I think
it my duty to make particularly honourable mention of
the bravery and skill of the artillery and engineer
corps so conspicuous during the siege. The rifle-
men, selected from the Foot Chasseure and Zouaves,
have also rendered great service, which, I am
sure, they will feel pride in continuing. Finally, I
have to point out to the army the noble conduct
of the sailors whom the fleet has sent to our assistance.
They have given us proofs of the greatest zeal and true
courage, and I am proud to acknowledge the claims of
those brave men to our esteem and sympathy.__
