The Wiener Zeitung contains the following reply
of his Majesty the Emperor Famicis JOSEPH to the
deputation of the Tyrolese Arquebusiers. The letter
•was confided to the care of the new governor, Count
CAJETAN BISSENGEN, who delivered it to the officers
at a festive meeting held for the purpose of receiv-
ing it :
" It was a great satisfaction to me to see so many
leaders of my comrades in arms who had stood by my
side in facing the enemy in the Italian war, and who had
undertaken a long and dangerous journey to congratu•
late me on my accession to the throne. I charge you,
as you have now returned to your own horns, to assure
the native Tyrolese Arquebusiers of my good will. Tell
them that I shall ever think of them with gratitude—
that I confidently rely upon them if the enemy should
ever again threaten our country. They will in that
case, as in former times, gather round my valiant army
and overcome the enemy us they have lately done.
"I shall take into consideration the augmentation of
the arquebuse, that favourite weapon of the Tyrolese.
Tyrol is a strong bulwark of the monarchy, and her
sons form a valiant garrison. That the borders of your
land be not circumscribed shall be my care. Be it yours
to preserve its hereditary virtues.
"I remain yours, with Imperial grace and favour.
"FRANCIS JOSEPH.

The Cologne Gazette has the following from Vienna,
loth :—" It is now certain that four large forts are
to be erected, the guns of which will command the
city. The largest will be constructed on the Laaer-
berg, and will contain a large depot of arms, as it is
not intended in future to have any arms kept in the
city. 8,000 men may be accommodated in these forts."

SAXE-MEININ GEN.

FEB. 11.—The session of the Diet was opened on
the 11th, by the Minister, VON SPESSHAILDT. The
opening discourse plainly indicated that our Govern.
ment recognises the sovereignty of the National Cen-
tral Power, and hopes that it will promptly terminate
a Federal Constitution, with a national representation,
and a powerful Head of the Empire. It rejects the
union of the states of Thuringia, as proposed by
Saxe Weimar; but is willing to concur in other com-
mon necessaries.
