THE EMPERoR's ADDREss.-lhe intelligence re-
eeived from Vienna this morning, Oct. IA, is far
from being satisfactory. We are informed that be-
fore uuitting the Capital for Ling, the Emperor
sent an autograph letter TO Herr krans, the Minis

lntionary changes which he had been forced TO
submit 10 by a small but sudaeous party of his sub
tects he had been compelled 10 quit bis Capital by
the murder and rapine that surrounded him; still
he mt hia trust in Providence, and relying on his
own GOOD right, had only quilted Vienna 10 obtain
means to bring aid TO his Oppressed people. This
declaration had led TO the inference that the Empe
