THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1853.

Among these will be M. Morlot, Archbishop of Tours,
M. Savelli, his Minister of the Interior, and M. Viole,
the Nuncio at Vienna.

AUSTRIA.—The last bulletin of the state of the Em-
peror of Austria's health annonnces that it is completely
satisfactory. The wound is not deep, and it had begun
to heal. His Majesty had on the 21st affixed his signa-
ture to several state papers.
A. Te Deum was sung in the Cathedral of Vienna, on
Sunday, the 20th ult., to return thanks to the Almighty
for preserving the life of the Emperor of Austria from the
hand of the assassin. The day before he was wounded
the Austrian Emperor sent to Italy 12,000 cwts. of lead
for bullets, and 550 ducats as a gratification to the
wounded soldiers at Milan.

RUSSIA.—The Journal de Frankfort announces That
the Emperor of Russia has appointed Prince Menschikoff
to the command in chief of the three corps d'armee as-
sembled in Bessarabia and on the Turkish frontier.

SPAlN.—According to the electorial returns, drawn
up in the Ministry of the Interior, the combined opposi-
tions had not obtained more than 70 nominations. Thirty
deputies remained to be elected in consequence of double
elections.

The season continued extremely rigorous. A man and
hig. wife residing on the banks of the Manzanares had
(lied of cold. Two stage coaches on their way to Madrid
were stopped near Biutrago by the snow and 10 or 12 ad-
ditional mules were required to extricate them from their.
perilous position. Several stage coaches were two days be-
yond their time, and others were waiting the melting of
the snow to quit Madrid.

THE MAURITIUS.—By the Indiana, arrived at Ply-
mouth, we have advices from the IVlauritus to the 9th of
June. A fair number of emigrants heed left for Australia ;
others were preparing, but their ardour was somewhat
abated by the Melbourne accounts to November. There
is little fluctuation in the sugar market. Large purchases
have been made. The following is an approximation to
the price :—lracutun clairced, 5.25 to 5.75; fine yellow,
4.60 to 4.75 ; good ditto, 4.35 to 4.50 ; middling. 4 to
4.25 ; low, 3.60 to 3.75. Shipped and left to the Bth of
January, 1853, 8'2,097,083 lb., against 74,502,9110 lb. at
same time in 1852. Freights, .43 2s. 6d. to the United
Kingdom. Rice has risen from sc. to 10c. over previous
prices. Stock on hued on the 7th of January, 1853.
143,760 bags.

TURKEY.—The COunt de Leiningen has demandtcl
the cessio to Austria of the two ports of Kleck and Sutcri;-
na, which Turkey claims-as forming part of her territorY,
Austria would, it is said, make a casus bell of it. Oh,
the other hand, France and England support the Porte..
It was reported in Paris that the Austrian Government
had proposed to Louis Napoleon to occupy Geneva, while
an Austrian division would enter the canton of Ticino. It ,
is not known what answer has been given.
We have strong ground to believe that Prince Menschi-
koff has been sent from St. Petershurgh to Constantino-
ple upon a special embassy for the express purpose of de-
claring. in the name of the Emperor Nicholas, that, as
head of the Greek Church, he cannot submit, or allow
the Eastern Church to submit, to' the conditions of
the' firman recently obtained by the French Am-
baesador with reference to the holy shrines in the
Holy Land ; and, if this be the case,• it would seem that
the negotiations opened between .Ressia- and France on
this subject have led to no result.
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna brings the im-
portant intelligence that, by accounts which had just
arrived. from Constantinople, the Ottoman Government
had refused to accept the ultimatum presented to it by
the Count de Leiningen in the name of the Austrian Go-
vernment. The despatch adds that net only the Count
de Leiningen, the Austrian ambassador- extraordinary,
but the whole of the Austrian legation had left Constanti-
nople. The Ottoman Porte immediately placed itself 1
under the protection of England and Frame.
The steamer Croatia had her steam up, .ready to start.
Business was at a stand-still. Universal, consternation
prevailed, and the exchange had risen ten percent.

INDIA.—By the steam-ship Adria, which an-ived
from Alexandria at Trieste on Thursday, after a passage
of 140 hours, we have later intelligence from, Thdie.
The Burmese occupy the Aeng Pass with a large force.
Pegu has been- again. occupied by a large force of
Burmese. They raised the seige (of the town) on the
Bth and 9th of January, and marched to the defence of
Schoygyt upon learning that General Steel was advancing
upon that plate..

. --
The Burmese have retired from Prome- and' from
Meadami.

It is said that a vevolution has taken place-at Aver by
which the old king has been. deposed and driven-out,. and
that the new king has, recalled the troops to Ave, and
desires peace. _ _

Fever and diarrhc prevailed among our troops, and
were increasinx,

Trade in India was languid..

The insurrection 4u China eained considerabb devasta-
tion.

The Pottinger has brought Eto Suez) 21 boxes-of gold.

AUSTRALIA,-1331 the Cape mails of the lEth Ant,
we have received some further intelligence of the gold.
fields brought by the Fiances Henry, which sailed on the-
ist of December; with 713,100fHounces of cold and`s9 pas-
sengers ; and the Lockinagar, with 4,000 ounces-of, gold.
and 16 passengers :zboth vessels being ladenwitb valuable
cargoes of wont for the English. raorket.

The accounts from the diggings show a continuance of
the astonishing yield of gold from the mines lately.
opened, and mention the discovery of fresh deposits on
the Koorong River, ,which bid:fair to eclipse all previous
discoveries, the metal being of exceeding purity', and
fonnd more commonly in the form of small nuggets than
in the scattered state which renders the laborious-opera-
tion of " washing" indispensable in other places., From
the Echunga diggings, near Adelaide, the intelligence is
equally favourable. " Pt unds,weight of gold," writes the
government commissioner, " are spoken of now as com-
monly as ounces were formerly!' Still great numbers of
persons are disappointed, and the general rate of wages
shows a downward tendency in the price of labour. Pro-
visions had fallen considerably in the market, and sup-
plies are pouring in :from all wafters, so that the • appre-
hension of famine atone time entertained had entirely dis-
appeared.
The local legis:ature at Melbourne had proposed to es-
tablish an export- duty on gold, which had caused much
excitement, and a popular demonstration on the subject
had been threatened. The proposition, however, was
abandoned.

Numerous vessels were loading for Linden, but, most
of them would probably proceed by way of Cape lgorn,.the
passage by that route being moat favourable about this
season. The S7dnev mail steamer was advertised to start
on her return voyage to the Cape on the Ist of December,
and may therefore.be hourly- expected. The Great dkitain
was to follow cu the Ist of January.
In the lash official accounts received from Van
Diemen's Lanai ,it is mentioned that some mines of coal
which were opened in 1851 in the vicinity of dlobart-
Town were being worked successfully. The coal is an
anthracite of indifferent quality, but its proximity to the
market, and its-consequent comparative lowness-of price,
had caused a.great demand for it.
