AUSTRIA.
(From the Correspondent of the Times.)
VIENNA, Nov. 17.
The Emperor and Empress left Vienna this
morning, and, should all go well, her Majesty will
. .

be at Antwerp on the 22d inst.
The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian is still here,
and it is said that he is to be made Viceroy of the
"Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom," as the Austrian
Government is pleased to call Venetia and the
Duchies of Mantua and Gonzaga. On the 15th
instant the Committee of the Tyroles Estates
caused a Te Deunt to be sung in the cathedral
at Innsbruck, but it must be supposed
that the new statutes hare not been well

received by the people at large, as there have
been no non-official festivities. The members
of the Municipal Councils of Gratz and Cilli
have demanded permission to retire from office,
and the local papers tell us that the " fathers" oi
this city will follow their example should a statute
a la Styrienne be given to the province of Lower
Austria. The Prague papers openly state that the
inhabitants of the kingdom of Bohemia wish to
have a real and not a sham representation, and
the same language is used in Galicia. The more
liberal papers continue to express their disapproval
of the mode of election for the provincial diets,
and even the Vaterland is dissatisfied with the
new statutes. The excuse made by the organ of

the aristocracy for such bungling legislation is
" that it was necessary to begin the work of
organisation somewhere, and with as little
delay as possible." It is said that Count Golu-
chowski is trying his hand at a statute•law for
Bohemia, but the chances are that he will not have
an opportunity of finishing it, as it is morally im-
possible that he can long remain in office. The
inhabitants of Croatia and Slavonia are beginning
to share the scruples of the Hungarians in respect
to the Imperial rescripts, but the Government still
hopes to be able to convince them that their inte-
rests will be properly cared for by the Reichsrath.
The German employes in Hungary and its depen-
dencies try to persuade the lower classes that
they will have to pay all the taxes, and to till
the fields of their former masters, if they should
lose the direct protection of the Imperial authorities;
but they make little or no impression on the minds
of the peasants, who are hostile to the Government
because they have to pay a heavy duty on tobacco
and wine, which are almost as necessary to the Hun-
garian peasants as are bread and beer to the tillers
of the soil in England. The Pesth .117aplo advises
the employes to remain perfectly quiet; and they will
do-well to follow the counsel received, as the Hun-
garians are not in a humour to be played with. In
many parts of Hungary the Government is unable
to get in the taxes, as the people positively assert
that they have no money. If produce or household
goods are taken in execution buyers are not to be
found, as no one wants to have his house and pro-
perty destroyed by fire. Not long since an Arme-
nian was unable to resist the temptation of

bidding for a fine ox, which was put up for sale at
Szathmar by the Imperial authorities, but his con-
duct was so violently resented by the bystanders
that he was obliged to take to flight. Many revolu-
tionary proclamations arc in circulation in Hungary,
andnot long since thousands of handkerchiefs Were
introduced into the country which showed the por-
trait of a well-known agitator when held up to the
light. On the 11th inst. there was it "national"
demonstration in the German theatre at Temesvar,
the capital of the Banat. One of the performers
sang a Hungarian song beginning with the words,
" Dear native country, why art thou so sad ?"
which produced such a deep impression on the
audience that an encore was vociferously demanded.

The curtain was immediately dropped, but a person
advanced from the side•scenes on to the stage, and
stated, in the Hungarian language, that the repe-
tition of the song was prohibited. Count Alexander
Mensdorff has issued a proclamation at Temesvar,
in which he, as Imperial Commissary, promises
to act conscientiously and impartially.
Count Mensdorff has a high reputation for
honour, but he is an Austrian officer, and
consequently does not inspire the inhabitants of
the Banat and Voivodina with confidence. Per-
sons who have recently travelled in the provinces in
question state that " in general" their inhamenbitants
wish to be re-united to the Hungarians, but in
office positively assert that such is not the case.
Many weeks ago the authorities at Venice arrested
17 persons who were accused of belonging to greTo-
