A letter from Trieste of the 10th, in the Austrian
Gazette, says :--" The Archduke Maximilian and
his young wife, the Archduchess Charlotte, arrived
here yesterday afternoon. The reception given
them was most cordial. The streets were brilliantly
decorated, and enthusiastic shouts proceeded from
the crowd. On the journey their Imperial High-
nesses stopped a short time at Laybach, where they
received the congratulations of the authorities ;
they then proceeded to Adelsberg, where, after
hearing mass, they visited the famous grotto."

The Madrid journals of the 10th do not contain
any political news of itnportance. A royal decree
in the Gazette molifies the constitution of the con-
sulting junta of the department of public works on
railways, roads, and canals.

The Marquis of Ignazio Pallavicini, lately re-
elected a member of the Communal Council of
Genoa, which, it may be remembered, had been
dissolved on account of a refusal to pay a sum fixed
by law, has been appointed syndic of Genoa. This
is considered a conciliatory step on the part of the
Government-, the Marquis having obtained the
large3t majority of votes.
