AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says—" The rumours respecting the change
in the members of the Russian embassy here are
not altogether unfounded, for it is certain that
Prince Gortschakoff requested to be sent to another
post. Meantime a conge of four weeks has been
granted him. The nomination of Aali Pacha as
the representative of the Porto at the conferences
•f Paris is looked upon here as a concession to
Austria, who, through M. de Prokesch, had ad-
vocated his appointment at Constantinople."
PORTUGAL.

SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 12.—8 y the Royal mail
steam-ship Avon, which arrived this morning, we
have dates from Lisbon to the Bth inst.

The Minho steamer left for Liverpool on the
7th, and the Peninsular packet IVeldricl was to
leave, as usual, on the 9th with the mails for
Southampton, calling at Oporto and Vigo. The
Milan steamer, from Marseilles for Liverpool, put
into Lisbon for coals a few hours before the Avon
left. Her Majesty's ship St. George was the only
foreign vessel of war in port. The Avon does not
bring any political news of importance from Lis-
bon. The debate upon the reply to the Throne had
commenced in the Deputies, where the Minister
of Finance had presented the budget for 1856.57,
showing 10.939 contos of revenue, and 12.584
contos of expenditure ; but by adding to the
revenue the usual abatements from the Royal
allowances and from public salaries the calculated
deficit is reduced from 1,655 contos to 355 contos,
or about 80,000/. The Minister of Finance had
also brought forward his arrangement with the
foreign bondholders, and a bill to regulate the
trade ix grain, allowing free exportation and im-
portations upon a Sliding scale of duties.

The agents of corn speculators in Riga and St.
Petersburg , have been very busy of late in Ham-
burg with their offers of grain for delivery in the
spring at very low prices; but it is observed that
they decline to agree to the conditions stipulated
for by would-be buyers, viz. :—that should the
blockade of the Russian harbours be renewed
before the period of delivery comes round (and
consequently the delivery be prevented), the con-
tract is to become void and null.

Count Alexis Feodorowitsch Orloff, who, to-
gether with Baron Brunew, will represent Russia
at the Paris: Conferences, is not to be confounded
with various other Count Orloffs who have figured
in the modern history of Russia. This Count
Alexis Orloff is a member of the Council of the
Empire and a General of cavalry.

Although the King Of Denmark bas annulled
the votes of the Holstein Diet on the suhjez,t of
their petition to him for a more just recognition
of the privileges of the duchy, on account of their
having in that matter exceeded their legitimate
powers, he cannot obstruct their resolotion to ar-
raign I. von Scheele for the abuse of his authority
as Minister for the Duchy; and that process will
be pressed with as much promptitude and energy
as the formalities which must be observed will
permit.

A letter from Vienna of the 7th, in the Augs-
burg Gwjette, says :—" Ausfria continues disarming
her frontiers nearest Russia. On the sth two
special trains brought here from Cracow a number
of siege pieces ; yesterday the pontoon materiel
arrived. The reduction of the army is being
effected without interruption, and at the market,
of Ma,tzleinsdorf yesterday, a considerable number
of artillery and cavalry horses were sold."
