AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 'Z.—With regard to M. von der
Pfordten's mission nothing positive has as yet
transpired. Count Buol gave a gran►d diplo-
matic dinner yesterday in honour of the Bavarian
Prime Minister, who was to have left Vienna this
evening. Matters seem to be going on very well.
We hear that 20,000 Bavarians are to march into
Vorarlberg, and to take up their head-quarters at
Kempten, in virtue of a special convention with
Austria (if not as a federal contingent), in order not
to expose the strategic-political balance of power in
Upper Italy by the necessary withdrawal of Aus-
trian troops to the north and east. I hope in my
next letter to be able to say more hereon.
With respect to the disastrous affair of the
25th, the Lithograph Correspondence says :—" It
is known for a certainty that the Turks deserted
their batteries on the first attack, and shamefully
took to flight without having opposed anyresistauce
to the enemy whatever. The consequence was
that the Russians were enabled to turn the very
guns of these batteries against the advancing Eng-
lish light cavalry. A temporary confusion and a
severe loss to the English were the inevitable re-
sult, which is entirely attributable to the cowardly,
or it may be treacherous, conduct of the Turks."
To this I can only add, that it is to be hoped for
the credit of our allies, who have hitherto borne so
high a character for indomitable bravery, that this
intelligence with regard to their conduct on this
occasion may turn out to be not altogether correct.
The following telegraphic despatches have been
received here : . .

" TURIN, Nov. 3.—lt is said that the plan for raising
a loan of 40 millions of livres is being prepared. The
Cattolico publishes a pastoral letter of the Archbishop
Franconi, from Lyons, against the sequestration of the
nunnery and convent in Piedmont."
"ROME, Nov. I.—Several ecclesiastical princes, and
amongst others his Eminence the Cardinal Prince
Schwartzenberg, have arrived."
" Coustf, Oct. 31.—Heat, following suddenly upon
rainy weather, has destroyed a third of the olives. The
consequence of this is that the yield of oil will not ex-
ceed 22,000 barrels."

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

By a decree of the Emperor the government of
Goree, and of the French establishments to the
southward of that island, is, from the Ist January
next, confided to a commandant residing at Goree,
and placed under the superior orders of the Com-
mander-in-chief of the naval squadron on the wes-

tern coast of Africa.
The journals of Nantes remark that the noble
and wealthy family of La Bourdaunaye has been
severely afflicted by the war in the Crimea, one sou
of Mme. de la Bourdannaye having been killed at
the battle of the Alma, and the other before Sebas-

topol on the 17th ult.
The Sentinelle of Toulon states that the Turenne
and Donawerth, which have just sailed from that
port, had on board 1,218 soldiers for the army of
the East.
Immediately after the Royal sitting the Belgian
Senate proceeded to the nomination of its bureau,
when the Prince de Ligno was elected president,
MM. de Renesse and d'Omalius d'Halloy vice-pre-
sidents ; MM. Grenier-Lefebvre, Spitaels, de Pit-
teurs, and Du Trieu de Terdouck, secretaries ; and
MM. de Rodes and de Ribaucourt questors. MM.
d'Omalius de Renesse, d'Ane-
than, Grenier-Lefebvre, Van Schoor, Savart, and
de Tornaco were chosen as the committee on the
address. Nothing was done in the Chamber of
Representatives.
We read in the Sentinelle Toutannaisc of the
sth inst. :
" Another ship of the line and four frigates, detached
from the Baltic squadron, are hourly expected at
Toulon. It is even probable this number will be in-
creased, if, as it is reported, the Government intends
to send to the army of the East a reserve of 30,000 men,
supplied by the camp of the south and the garrisons
of the interior. It will require about 50 large ships
of heavy tonnage to convey that force, with all
the materiel necessary, at this late season of the
year. Therefore it is to be supposed that the greater
part of Admiral Parseval's squadron will be employed
for the transport of those reinforcements. In order to
expedite the conveyance of provisions to the East the
commissariat at Toulon keeps all hands at extra work
until 10 at night, even on Sundays. 250 men of the
14th Regiment of the Line arrived last night from the
depot to fill up the vacancies, and to be in readiness to
embark."

SPAIN.
MADRID, Nov. 4.—The review of the National
Guard, which was announced to take place to-
morrow, when their colours were to be presented
to them by the Queen, has been countermanded.
A meeting of the commanders of battalions took
place at the residence of General San Miguel,
on the return of the latter from Toledo; and ex-
planations were given by the general himself, and
by Senors Mollinedo, Beroqui, Count Parsent, and
others, with respect to the nature and object of the
recent visit of the officers to the Queen, which has
given rise to so much comment. The upshot of
what transpired was that the visit was to be re-
garded as a mere mark of respect to which no
political importance was to be attached.
The Diario Espanol says that there are now en-
listed in Spain about 200,000 National Guards.
The regular troop§ scarcely exceed at the present
moment one-fourth of that number.
It is said that both Cabrera and Elio are ex-
pected on the northern frontier.
Senor Salamanca has arrived here from the
north, and is staying at his palace at the Recoletos.

A very decided improvement had taken place in several
of the mines of Zacotecas, while those of Guanajuato
continued on the decline.
Considerable excitement is said to have prevailed in
the capital, on account of the foreign ministers having
refused to attend a ball given to Santa Anna, in com-
memoration of his victorious entry into Mexico during
the war of independence, merely because they were ex--
pected, according to the published laws of etiquette, 'to

Chapman, the Newcastle banker, whose apprehension
was anaounced a few weeks ago for non-payment of calls
due to the Union Bank of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, of
which he was for many years managing director, has been
bailed out of prison ;by his friends. They undertake
that he shall not leave the country, but no arrangement
has yet been made for squaring his accounts with the
bank- The case, it is believed, wilLbe prosecuted to a
bankruptcy, which will, of course, lead to a full disclo-
sure of his affairs and transactions ; but it is possible
th
at his friends, some of whom are very wealthy, will
prevent this by satisfying the claims of the bank.
