AUSTRIA.

We read in a letter from Vienna of the 11th :
" After the arrival of a courier with despatches
from Baron de Hubner to•day, Count de Buol had a
long interview with the Emperor. We are assured
that immediately after the audience orders were
sent to the commander-in-chief of the army which
indicate further armaments. Field-Marshal Sok-
sevich, who replaces Baron Jellachich during his
illness, and wbo was summoned here respecting the
mobilisation of the frontier regiments of Croatia, has
arrived. Orders have already been given for the
departure of eight Croat battalions for Italy.
Several regiments of light and heavy cavalry
have also received orders to march immedi-
ately. These forces would. seem to exceed what
could be required for merely precautionary mea-
sures against a movement in Lombardy. The num-
ber of troops despatched for Italy within the last
five days is about 25,000, and it is thought that
as many more will march in the course of a week."
The Austrian Gazette contains the following :

"All the information which we have before us,
and all derived from authentic sources, tends to prove
how little the words made use of on New Year's
Day by the Emperor Napoleon to Baoon Hubner
had for object to produce an unfavourable impres-
sion ; and the expressions used relative to that
occasion by the Moniteur are so selected as to re-
fute with more strength than ever the rumours of
war. But what is more than all this is the situa-
tion in itself, which renders so doubtful any conflict
of the powers who govern Europe that we consider
such an eventuality as not only very improbable,
but even quite impossible."

FRANCE.

PARIS, JAN. 15.

The Emperor yesterday afternoon left the Tuile-
ries in an open phaeton, which he drove himself,
and proceeding to the left side of. the Seine visited
the various works in course of execution there, from
the Invalides to the Rues de Sebastopol and des
Ecoles.
A letter from Toulon of the 14th informs us that
on the 12th the crews of the ships of war composing
the Toulon fleet, under the command of Vice-Admi-
ral Romain-Desfosses, effected an imitation of a
hostile landing and a sham fight at the Grosse-
Tour. The population of Toulon, who occupied
the adjacent hills to witness the manoeuvres,
warmly applauded the precision with which the
commands of the Admiral were executed.

The Moniteur contains the following paragraph
relating to the Charles et Georges :—" In restoring
the ship Charles et Georges the Portuguese Govern-
ment consented to pay an indemnity proportioned
to the losses sustained by the shipowners, the cap-
tain, and crew. This indemnity was fixed by a
commission, who, in a perfect spirit of impartiality,
calculated the damage it would be just to repair,
and the amount has been handed to the Emperor's
Minister at Lisbon."

The Oloniteur publishes the following return of
the taxes and indirect revenue for the year 1858,
with a comparison between the receipts of that year
and those of 1857. The total amount in 1858 was
1,091,728,000 f., and in 1857, 1,052,713,000 f., being
an increase of 39,015,000 f. in favour of the first-
named. year ; but if the second decime on the regis-
tration dues, which was suppressed in 1858, be
taken into account, the real augmentation would
be 56,187,000 f. The items which show an improve-
ment are the duty on manufacture of beetroot
sugar, 22,294,000 f. ; import duty on French colo-
nial. sugar, 15,028,000 f. ; duty on potable liquors,
12,933,000 f.; tobacco sales, 4,005,000 f.; registration
dues, 2,612,000 f.; customs export duties, 1,994,0001.;
sundry customs duties, 1,071,000 f. ;. postage,
4323000 L do, on transit of foreign lette'rs,

361,000 f. ; duty on the consumption of salt beyond
the bounds of the customs, 214,000 f. The decrease
falls on the following: Import duties on sundry
merchandise, 8,104,000 f. ; ditto on foreign sugar,
6,939,000 f. ; sundry receipts, 1,887,000 f. ; stamp
duty, 1,607,000 f. ; duty on consumption of salt
within the bounds of the customs, 1,764,000 f. ; sale
of gunpowder, 1,244,000 f. ; import duty on corn,
583,000 f. ; navigation dues, 353,000 f. ; post-office
orders, 39,000 f. ; malles-postes, 15,0001. As com-
pared with 1856, the total receipts of 1858 show an
lincrease of 65,524,000 f.
