Through tie same channel which
some weekss9,,o enabled us, to be the 6rst
| to announce llne discussions which had a.
risen setweea France and Austria on The
subject of the Austrian Gordon, formed on
the Italian frontiers, we now learn that
neither thess: discussions, nor the mossa1.
CRY remensrance Of the French cabinet
for moment suspended the execution Of
that measure.
On the snineteen,h of December the line
! comprised forty TWO thousand men: other
troops were On their route for the same
. neighborhooi; and we can further assure
: Our readers that the Austrian corps, form.
J ing in Hungary, Pennsylvania, the Bannat,
Sclavonia and Broatia, amounted at the
date OF the last accounts to nearly lOo,oD
men, assembled under pretcnce that the
troubles in Belgrade and Ssrvina, rem
dered ACCORDION on that frontier necessary,
to prevent aggression on the part of the
: insurgents. This had been the occasion
! o'afresh remonstyaecc from Paris, on the
: ground thar ,he imperial cabinet had ,hot

! periods Of insurrection il which the tran.
! guilty OF the Austrian provinces wrr.

In question justified susp,cion, and more

We have strong reasons to believe tina.
the recent march ot French troops into
Italy, and the orders which we understand
to have been issued for the formation o!
, an extensive French camp in the Alsace
early in the ensuing spring to be immedi.
ately connected with the above movements
of Austrian troops.
(; We have seen private letter fromV.
rnna, ofthc 10th ult. which states that
score DAYS before two couriers arrived
within the space Of IA Few hours with dis.
patches from Count Cohentzel at Paris
those dispatches are represented as being OF
the creates, political importance, that three
| extraordinary conferences of state ensued,
and that orders were immcdiately after
given for reinforcing the Austrian troops
in Italy. IT,
Private letters from Madrid Of the tn

accounts from Mexico. Some serious
troubles had broken out there, aud the in.
