AUSTRIA.

The A totrian, Corresponclotce of the 2cl instant
says :
" Some newspapers have published the text of a
note addressed to the Porte, and signed b) the Ito
presentatives of France and Russia at Constantinopla•
The most superficial glance at it ought to convince
any one initiated in public affairs that this document
is not a joint note, and we have it in our power to sta' e
that such a note was not presented.
" It is true that the French Ambassador may have
addressed questions to the Porte in the ssnse indicated,
and the Representatives of Russia may have taken
similar steps, but after the reasonable reply of the
Ottoman Minister these steps have now only an his-
torical interest.
" The Government of the Sultan very properly refused
to express alone a decision on the pending difficulties,
and referred them to the attentive consideration of the
Powers. We have good reason to hope that an under
standing will be obtained by these means, and that the
Treaty of Peace of the 30th March will thus ho car•
vied out to the letter."

expected that the Government will afford
isto fully
the execution of the scheme every desirable
Support. The committee is composed of men
ofiho highest respectability and influence in
those respective places, which cannot fail to make
a favourable impression upon the 'Minister for the
Duchy of Holstein. The plan of uniting the Altona
and Kiel Railway by a branch line with that of
Hamburg and Berlin direct has been unsupported
by the Government from strategic motives.
Russian accounts from St. Petersburg up to the
26th ult. state that on the 15th of that month the
proof number of a new periodical, at Holsingfors, as
an official organ of the Government, had been pub-
lished in the Finnish language, which will continue
from the Ist of January, 1857, to be circulated
twice a week throughout the Finnish provinces.
Among the many steam navigation companies
now being formed in various parts of the north of
Europe may be noticed one formed in Copenhagen,
in the spring of the present year, to establish a line
of steamers between that city, London, Hull, and
Leith. To this end the directors have given orders
to the firm of Messrs. James Henderson and Co.,
of Glasgow, to build 'for them three large screw
boats of GO-horse power each, and to carry a cargo
of 350 tons heavy weight of goods, or about 3,000
tonnen of grain, and to be so constructed that they
will be capable of withstanding any sea in heavy
weather, and to enter into any of the small ports
along the coastfrom theirlight draught of water. It
is fully expected that these vessels will be ready to
enable the company to commence running them at
the commencement of the ensuing season in 1857.
Their length of keel will be about 160 feet, a
aind,
with a breadth of 23 feet, they will not, witi
full cargo, draw more than 10 feet depth of water ;
and for the convenience of running into lee
ports on the coast of Jutland and othperrpiadred
of the Danish dominions, they will be ov
