AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JAN. 8.
When all the, reinforcements have reached their
destination, the Austro-Italian army will consist of
no fewer than 150,000 men ; but a part of the
troops will be placed in echelon between Villach,
Casarsa, Conegliano, and Venice. At first it was
intended to send only two divisions to Italy, but
the day before yesterday orders were givcn that
seven brigades (three divisions and a half) should
move towards the southern part of the empire. By
Wednesday next the whole of the third corps
d'armee, which is under the command of General
Prince Edmund Schwarzenberg, the son of the
late Marshal, will be on his way to Italy. The

third army corps, which formed the garrison of this
city, consists of the brigades Martini, Palffy, ham-
ming, and Wetzlar. The other three brigades are
already moving from the provinces of Galicia and
Transylvania towards this city. Notwithstanding
these warlike preparations the impression on my
mind is that there will not be a collision between

this Empire and Sardinia. The latter may con-
tinue to agitate in Lombardy and in Central Italy,
but she will hardly venture to attack such a
formidable adversary as Austria now is. The
Turin papers tell us that, in case of need, an army
of 120,000 men can be raised, but the thing
is almost impossible, as the kingdom of Sardinia
has but 5,167,542 inhabitants. Both Austria and
France have repeatedly shown that they are not
chary of human flesh and blood, but neither of
them has ever raised an army which mach ex-
ceeded two per cent. of the entire population. As
is but natural, the Austrian military authorities
keep their plan of operations secret, but it is self-
evident that Count Gyulai will—for the moment,
at least—act strictly on the defensive. A rising
in Modena, Parma, Tuscany, and the Papal do-
minions
would, perhaps, lead to a conflict between
Austria and France, but neither Louis napoleon
nor Victor Emmanuel is likely to send troops to the
assistance of the disaffected Lombards. The position
in the triangle formed by Peschiera, Mantua, and
Verona is exceedingly strong, and English engineers
have often remarked to me that the Austrians, if
true to themselves, could maintain it against an
enemy of twice their own strength. The Austrian
papers are not allowed to give any information
relative to the state off affairs in the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom, and the natural consequence of
the silence of the press on a subject of such import-
ance is, that the most alarming rumours are in cir-
culation. A strange story is now related here, but it
is not in my power to say whether it is true or false,
as the Vienna authorities profess to know nothing
of what passes in Lombardy. It would appear, if
the tale which is here told be true, that five officers
have recently lost their lives at Brescia under the
following circumstances :—An attempt which was
made by some of the inhabitants of Brescia to
disarm a sentry, who was standing before a guard-
house, led to a conflict between the troops and the
people, during which seven of the latter were killed.
Five of the officers who commanded the troops were
assassinated a few hours after the disastrous col- ,

lision had occurred. The chances arc that the story
is not entirely devoid of foundation, but you must
look to Turin for more exact information on the

subject.

There was a regular panic on 'Change to-day,

and a great fall in all kinds of stock.—Tinaea

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY, 7 P.M.

Accordig to despatches which have reached
Paris the Austrian Government has sent off special
messengers to Rome, Naples, Parma, Modena—to
all the Italian States beyond Piedmont—calling on
the respective Sovereigns and Governments to be
prepared in case of revolutionary movements.
Austria too offers to garrison any place where the
native army cannot be depended upon. Meanwhile
all the military stations of Austrian Italy are to
receive a further augmentation of troops, and an
army of reserve for Italy is to be immediately
formed. This intelligence I quote from a tele-
graphic despatch., dated Vienna, this day (Jan. 10.)
The IndiPendente of Turin announces that its in-
trodUction into the Lombardo-Venetian provinces
has just- been prohibited, and that the Unione,
Gazetta del Popolo, and Opinione have shared the
same fate.

There was a fall to-day at the Bourse of no less
than 80c. in the 3 per Cents., and all other securi-
ties equally;retrograded. Commercial men incline
to a belief in war with Austria. The Threes left
off at 70f. 2(k. The evening journals do not indulge
in comments on the King 'of Piedmont's speech,
but its effect has been immediate on the money
market. The report of the marriage of Prince
Napoleon with a daughter of Victor Emmanuel has
cast a gloom 'upon the speeulators. Threes were
done from 70f. 85c. to 70f. 65c., and rallied to 70f.
85c. ; Mobilier varied from 835 f. to 845 E ; Orleans,
1,335 f. ;to 1,342 f. 50c ; Lybns, 852 f. 50c. .to 857 f.
50c. ;:and Southern, 550 f. to 552 f. 50c. The fol-
lowing were the'last quotations :-
