AUSTRIA''AND SARDINIA.

VIENNA, FEB. 11.
The official Austrian Correspondance refutes the
accusations of Count Cavour, and says—

" Austria is sufficiently armed to ward off attacks
against the Imperial Sovereignty, but respects,
nevertheless, the right of other States to settle their
affairs as they may please."

BELGRADE, FEB. 11.
The Skuptschina has placed M. Wutschitsch in
confinement.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

A letter from Paris says :
From the manner in which M. de Morny's speech
yesterday in the Legislative Corps was received by
all the Deputies, without exception—the unanimous
and enthusiastic applause and cries for peace which
hailed the passages I have alrettly quoted—and
the feeling of the country so unmistakeably
manifested, there can, I believe, be no longer a
doubt in the mind of any one of the dislike which
the very thought of war inspires. It is natural
that the reckless coterie who would for a phantom
plunge the nation into a conflict with Europe
should be furious against all who have directly or
indirectly obstructed them. The paper which
serves as the organ of this clique, whose schemes
have already done so much injury to the country,
continues its mission. It is, of course, furious
against M. de Morny and the whole Legislative
Body together—against the former, that he should
have presumed to
-go beyond the Emperor himself
in his declarations of peace ; against the latter be-
cause they applauded him. They complain of the
hardihood of the President of the Chamber in hav-
ing drawn up his address without previous consul-
tation with the Emperor, just as if his Majesty
would not have approved every word of a speech
in support of a policy on which M. de Morny and
the warmest friends of the Sovereign believe that.
the Imperial regime depends. Whether his Ma-
jesty was consulted I cannot say, but the vehement
applause—so vehement as even to astonish M.
de Morny, who is not, I believe, accustomed
to such demonstrations which greeted the
words of peace, showed how different his recep-
tion would have been if they had been otherwise,
and prove beyond all doubt that what the country
wants and demands is peace, and not war.
As to whether peace or war shall prevail there is
still a diversity of opinion, and, though I do not
subscribe to all he says, yet I cannot but repeat the
opinion of a person who is entitled to respect, and
who possesses much experience in-political life. He
is not inclined to thitik that the present difficulties
are such as arc likely to be resolved by diplomacy.
He thinks war inevitable, but that the date depends
on circumstances (this I must admit to be a safe
margin) ; but he believes that before the year is out
hostilities will commence.
As for the negotiations which Austria would
consent to open, he thinks that she may do so to
gain time, either for military preparltions, or to
secure the alliances of which she stands in need. In
any case, the said negotiations can only have refe-
rence to the evacuation of the Roman States by the
Austrian and French troops. This evacuation, he
says, is precisely what would suit the Emperor of
the French, whose plans would be promoted by an
insurrection in Italy. Now, so long as his troops
are at Rome the Emperor would be obliged to put
down a seditious movement on one point which he
would see with secret pleasure break out in Lom-
bardy. Austria has motives of quite a contrary
kind to remain in the Roman States. To quit
them would be to fall blindly into a snare. She
will perhaps appear to lend herself to negotiations
on this point, but, as I have already said, only to
gain time.

BOURSE, Feb. 11.—The pamphlet published by

Advices from Milan in the Hamburg News state
that Count Andre Citadella, First Master of the
Ceremonies of the Archduchess Charlotte, and
noted for his illiberality in political matters, has
just had a long leave of absence given him,
which is considered as tantamount to removal
from his functions. Count Zichy, Master of the
Ceremonies to the Archduke, has also been removed,
and replaced by Count Mensdorff-Pouilly, a person
of more moderate views.

The Madrid journals of the 7th say say that Mr.
Duncombe Jones Parry, the Englishman condemned
to death for having assaulted a Spanish sentinel in
the vicinity of Gibraltar, belongs to a good family,
of Wales, and is only 21 years of age. In addition
to assaulting the sentinel, it is said that he
knocked down a gendarme who went to the
soldier's defence. At the moment of the assault he
was in the company of several English officers,
and of a young lady named Pemberton. The cause
of the assault was that the sentinel, in obedience
to orders, tried to prevent him from riding on a cer-

tain site. The Correspondancia Autografa inti-
mates that the Queen " will probably spare his life."
The Chamber of Deputies had nominated a com-
mittee on the bill on the press, which was entirely
favourable to the measure, though in the committee
were several ex-journalists. Some of the journals
state that the projected Hispano-American Exhibi-
tion at Madrid in 1861 has been definitively re-
solved on. A royal decree in the Gazette sanctions
the establishment in Cuba of a Credit Mobilier and
Public Works Company.

A letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the Borsen-I
halle of Hamburg, says :—" It is positive that a
species of war council has been formed under the
presidency of the Emperor, to which are attached
Prince Windischgratz, Baron de Hess, Count
Wimpfen, Count • Schliek, and the Chevalier de
Hauslab, director-general of artillery. The 2d
corps &armee, 30,000 strong, which has its head-
quarters here, has received orders to hold itself in
readiness to march." Another letter from the
same capital says :—" A great number of troops
have left recently for Italy and Gallicia. It would
appear that an army of reserve will be formed in
Istria. The garrison of Innspruck has been weak-
ened by departures for Italy."

The Messaggere of Modena, an official journal, in
adverting to a letter which appeared some time ago
in the Universal Augsburg. Gazette, and in which
the Duchy of Modena is described as being a prey
to the most violent political agitation, challenges
the writer of that letter to state the facts on which
he founds those views of his, and asserts that,
on the contrary, Modena is the most tranquil
country in Italy. As to the late increase of garri-
sons on theModenese frontier, this, the Messaggere
says, must be 'attributed to the necessity of guard-
ing against the cowardly attempts sometimes made
by a few demagogues to penetrate into the country
from without in order to create disturbance. Were
Austrian troops, the Messaggere adds, to be called
in by the Government, that circumstance could not
lead to any complications, seeing that such emer-
gencies have been provided for by public treaties of
long standing.
