AUSTRIA.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
VIENNA, April 25.
_

An Imperial rescript has been issued to-day pro-
roguing the sittings of the Croatian Diet sine die.
The Minister of Police has notified that the
Austrian visa will again be necessary for the
passports of persons crossing the Austro-Italian
frontiers.

The official Wiener Zeitunq of to-day confirms
the denial already given to the alleged violation of
Austrian territory by Italian volunteers.
The Vienna Cabinet has, it is said, addressed a
circular despatch to Prussia and the other European
Powers, informing them that the Austrian arma-
ments are rendered necessary by the proceedings of
the Italian Government. The despatch at the same
time declares that Austria, relying upon the word
of the Prussian King, considers any measures of
defence against Prussia to be unnecessary.

The Morgenpst publishes a telegram, according to
which the Emperor Napoleon has declared to the
Italian Cabinet that he will in no way assist Italy
n case she should attack Austria. The Morgenpst
adds that the news comes from an authentic source.
