ANOTHER CANARD OF TEIS "TIMES."

The great morning organ, professing to be so
well-informed as to the Minsterial appointments,
has announced for the last two days that Major J.
STUART WORTLEY was to be the Under SEcretary
or War. This was a mere invention of our great
contemporary. By no oue else was the honourable
member for Honiton ever thought of.
The only offer ever made to fill the office was to
Viscount HARDINGE, by whom it was immediately
accepted.
We are also enabled to state that the Duke of
BEAUFORT has accepted the office of Master of the
Horse.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Vienna, dated Feb. 22, says :-
" The French Government has expressed s read

ness to make certain concessions to this Cabinet
if the latter will prohibit unfavourable mention
by the „Austrian press of the state of thin.ts in
France. It is probable that M. de Bourquency
has given the Minister for Foreign Affai s to nu-
dersta-rel that, if he will comply wile the wishes
expressed by the Emperor Napoleon oeticerniog
the press, the French Government will not op-
pose Austria when the question of the reorgani-
sation of the Danubian Principalities and of the
navigation of the Danube are discussed by the Par s
Conference. It is difficult to obtain perfectly au-
thentic information on a matter of such extreme
delicacy, but still you will hardly be m'sta,ken
if you assume as a positive fact that Count &el
declined to accept the tempting offer of the
French Ambassador. The paper of which M. de
Bourquency principally complained was the Oes-
terreichische Zeitung, and he strongly urged
Count Buol to give it an official warning. The
Austrian Minister declined to do so, bet he is said
to have directed the authorities, whose duty it is to
watch over the public press, to desiro the editors of
the different papers to refrain from attacking the
policy of the French Government. The Vienna
public always suspected the principal writer for the
Oesterreichische Zeitung of being on very intimate
terms with the French Government, and it is
thereforeastouished to hear that M. tie Bourquency
is of opinion that the paper is systematically hostile
to France. If the French diplomatist were pro-
perly informed of what is going on in Vienna he
would know that on Saturday, the 20th inst., the
Oesterreichische Zeitung contained a leading article
which was at once a juetificetion of the measures of
the French Government and an apotheosis of the
Emperor Napoleon. The news that Lord Palmer-
ston and his colleagues are about to cede the reins
of government to other hands has pt o:uced a re-
markably disagreeable impression here, and in-
formation has reached me that the highest persons
in the realm have expressed their sorrow that such
an event should happen at such a critical moment.
"It is related in society that his Majesty the
Emperor begilis to feel that the concessions two
years ago made to Rome were too great. In fact,
Austria has gained little or nothing by her move,
for in matters of int.trua,l policy the bislio,is are not
so 'much Austrians as Hungarians, Italians, &c.
During the night of the 7th inst., three prisoners
fica:ped from the fortress at Verona, but it is not
known whether they wore common criminals or
persons who were in confinement for political
offences. Tile fugitives eseapel by the aid of a
sharp file and strong sheets.
"The rumour that Austria is about to send a
corps against Montenegro is devoid of all founda-
tion, but there is good reason for believing that the
Porte has resolved to do so. WhenOular Pachachas-
tised the Montenegrins in 1853, the Austrians posi-
tively refused to permit reinforcements to be sent
by way of the Adriatic ; but she has now informed
the Porte that it can land as many troops as it
pleases at Ragusa, and march them to Trebigne in
the Herzegovine.
" The last news from the Herzegovine is that
Prince Daniel has sent 4,000 men to the assistance
of the Christian at Zubzi, in the Herzegovine"
