AUSTRIA

The Vienna correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette
writes, on the 23.: inst. :

" Last night Prince Esterhazy, the Minister, and M.
Pulzky, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in
Hungary, and Baron Dohlhoff, nominated by the
Austrian Ministry, left for Inspruck, where
they will remain with the Emperor as long as he
stays. The high character of Prince Esterhazy, as well
as the instructions he has received from Pesth, added to
the energy of mind of M. Dohlhoff, are sure guaran-
tees that every attempt of the aristocratic, Jesuitic,
Panslavist camarilla to mislead the Monarch into
unconstitutional and retrograde measures will be in-
fallibly defeated. We learn from Prague, by letters of
this day, that the elections for the Constituent As-
sembly of Francfort were to take place to-morrow, but
the Sclavonians have torn down the notices that were
posted up, and are forming menacing assemblages."

about 130 feet square, and consisting of
seven or eight floors,
the total altitude g
of the building
exceeding 100 feet. The fire appears to have originated
in the counting-house, on the first floor of the building.
The clerks and workmen employed had all left the pre-
s at six o'clock, at which time everything seenied
perfectly safe. Within a very few minutes after the
outbreak was discovered, the flames burst through the
windows, and long before the arrival of an engine the
entire warehouse had ignited. The number of windows
on each side of the building was very great, and
the flames bursting forth in every direction the effect
of the conflagration when at its height was striking.
The reflection of the flames was distinctly seen at Vaux-
hall and other distant points of the metropolis, and the
City thoroughfares teemed with spectators hastening to
the scene of the disaster. All the metropolitan bridges
were densely crowded with spectators, and the greatest
excitement prevailed. Several engines arrived on the
spot shortly after the alarm had spread, but any attempt
to save the premises being utterly futile, the firemen
confined their labours to keeping the school-house oppo-
site and the adjoinipg premises cool. The row,- of
Messrs. Browne's factory fell in shortly before eleven
o'clock, and the fire having now consutned everything of
an inflammable nature within the walls, was presently
subdued. Messrs. Browne are understood to be liberally
insured.
