AUSTRIA.

VIENNA.—The measures recently adopted by the
Governor have produced an unfavourable impression
in the communal council, which, as we have before
stated, is made responsible for the concealment of
arms. The council was on the point of meeting in
private to discuss the subject, when the President pro-
duced a letter from Baron WELDEN, stating that the
council had no right to deliberate on the questiun, but
must carry out the views of the military Governor.
The Council, it is said, hesitated between two resolu-
tions, either to send a deputation to the Emperor, and
make a protest against the ordinance of the Governor,
or give in its resignation. This difference, to-
gether with another, which at this moment sub-
sists between the Minister Stadion and the
Governor, places the later in danger of losing
his post. The 15,000 soldiers who constitute
the garrison of the capital are promenaded every
day for the purpose of overawing the inhabitants and
inspiring respect for the power of the Governor. A
great number of patrols are constantly in the streets.
A soldier who was sentenced to death has had his
sentence commuted to 3,000 blows. This will be
a lingering instead of a speedy death.
PESTII, FEE. 2.—The following notification has
been received flora Field-Marshal Windischgratz :
" His Excellency Field-Marshia Prince Windischgratz
has been informed that, on the 26th and 27th of this

and that some of them, wearing the cap and
other articles of the uniform of the National Guard,
with red feathers in their caps, paraded the
streets and squares of the city. In order to give
opportunity for the exerci•ie if this spirit his Excel-
lency hereby notifies, that all inhabitants, without
respect of wee or station, who are found wearing
these iiefgt ia, are to be arrested, and sent here by

rolled in an army corps. In order that none

delivered at every house, and the landlords, or their
representatives, shall make the same known to every

public-houses and inns, that travellers who may
arrive may also be acquainted with it. On the 3d of
February, by which time al the inhabitants shall

sants who furnished the Imperial troops with pro-
