AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 4.—The deliberations with M.
von der Pfordten here are not yet brought to a
close. His excellency had an audience of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor Francis Joseph this afternoon
at three o'clock, and we are informed that his de-
parture hence for Munich is already fixed for Mon-
day, the 6th inst. Nothing—absolutely nothing
—of a reliable nature has transpired with respect
to the results likely to accrue from this mission
to the Courts of Berlin and Vieipa. There is a
mystery hanging over the present progress of mat-
ters. An old adage says, "No news, good news."
Perhaps it is applicable here. Nous verrons. -
The Austrian Correspondence has the following
telegraphic despatches :
" SMYRNA, Oct. 25.—The cholera has completely dis-
appeared. Pirates have shown themselves at Samos."
" MAILAND, Nov. 2.—The operations have begun for
carrying the telegraphic wire under the Po, on the
Mailand and Piacenza line."
" TRIESTE, Nov. 4.--The imperial frigate Schwartzen-
burg, with 350 men and 60 cannon, has arrived from
Polo. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian has re-
turned in this vessel from Polo."

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The official accounts from the Crimea, brought
to us this morning by the London papers, have
been read with great interest, and they are in
general considered satisfactory, so far at least as
the English besieging forces are concerned.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs has received the
following despatch from Count Walewski, the
French Ambassador in :r.iondon, dated the 27th
ult..—

"Monsieur le Ministre—Her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria, to whom I have just had the honour of paying a
visit at Windsor, expressed to me the deep regret she
felt at hearing of the death of Marshal de St. Arnaud.
Her Majesty requested me to make known to Mme. de
St. Arnaudiall the interest she takes in her grief. I beg
to request you, Monsieur le Ministre, to cause to be de-
livered to Mme. de St. Arnaud the message with which
I have been charged for her by her Majesty the Queen
of England. WALENVSKI."
We do not find in the Paris journals even one

original article possessing sufficient interest for ex-
tract on the affairs of the East.

It was stated some time ago that orders had
been given for the building at Toulon of several
gun-boats on an entirely new plan for the Baltic.
The report was premature, for the order was given
only a few days since. The plan of a new descrip-
tion of gun-boat was sent to the chief engineer of
Toulon by the Minister of Marine for his report.
It was considered good by that functionary, but he
sumitted it to his assistants, and one of them pro-
posed some important modifications, by which the
new boat would become a formidable floating bat-
tery. These modifications were laid before the
Minister, and approved of after examination by the
council of the Admiralty. The modified plan has
been sent to Toulon, with instructions to build
four boats with all possible expedition ; and copies
of it have been forwarded to three other Govern-
ment dockyards, with orders for each to build four
boats on the same principle.
Accounts have been received here to-day of the
sudden death of the young and beautiful Countess
of Strathmore. She died at Florence on Friday
last of inflammation, after a short illness. Lady
Strathmore was a daughter of Lord Barrington.
The Austerlitz has just arrived at Cherbourg.
All the French ships of the line which were in the
Baltic have now returned to France.

A review of the second division of the army of
Paris took place to-day in the Champ de Mars.
The French Government continues to send large
reinforcements to the East.
