LEVANT MAIL.

The Levant Mail brings advices from Constanti-
nople to the 25th, from Smyrna to the 28th ult., and
from Athens to Ist inst.

The Journal de Constantinople of the 19th ult. has
the following :—" Some French journals which draw
their information from we know not what sources,
pretend that his Highness ABBAS PACIIA met with a
bad reception at Constantinople. These journals
have been ill informed. We have already said, and
we again repeat, that never was an Ottoman func-
tionary placed so high in the hierarchy as he has
been, or received a more brilliant and cordial recep-
tion from the SULTAN and his Ministers. This re-
ception was such that it caused us, in common with
all true friends to Turkey, to rejoice and augur great
good from it to this empire."
The Vice• Admiral Moustafa Pacha had left Con-
stantinople for the Black Sea.
The Smyrna papers contain no news of import-
ance. Iler Alajesty's brig of-war the Frolic arrived
from the Pyreus on the 22d, and sailed the following
day for Beyrout, where she is to be stationed.
From Athens we learn that affairs are in no way
altered since our previous accounts. The schism in
the Cabinet still continued.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MARCH 7.—The funds and railway
shares rose very considerably on the Vienna Bourse
this day, in consequence of the promulgation of the
new Constitution, and the dissolution of the Diet of
Kremsier.

There was a slight depreciation of gold and bills of
exchange.
OLMUTZ, MARCH 7.—The Minister Count STA-
DION, arrived at Haltrin from Vienna on his way to
Kremsier, where he will himself announce the dis-
solution of the Diet.

It appears that the Austrian troops have received
orders to march into Ferrara.
The news of the dissolution of the Diet at Kremsier
is confirmed, and it is said that the Deputies KoL.
LUND, FUSTER, and Kupucx have been arrested.

Leiters from Pesth announce the return of Prince
WINDISCIIGRATZ to that city from the army on the
banks of the Theiss, and it is rumoured that he will
not again be entrusted with the command in chief.
Vienna was illuminated on the evening of the 7th
in honour of the promulgation of the Constitution.
