Italy, Austria and Hungary
The following news We find in the Picayune's
last evening edition. The Americas news has
been received by the same paper in full but of the
remainder the substance was contained in our
dispatches.
lTALY.-The interest still felt for the position OF
the Pope continues predominant. His Holiness re-
mains at Gaeta, from which point all kinds Of in
trgues and negotiations have sprung up, comforting
great celebrity this almost unknown spot.
The Provisional Government at Rome, concluded
by the vote of the Upper Chambers, has endeavored
by every means in lis power to induce the Pope to
return to the Holy City This he refuses, except on
the condition Of dissoving the Chambers, disband-
ing the National Guard, and suppressing the jour
nals-Whlch, among other conditions, only show
that his Holiness has real intention to return at
present to the Qurinal.
The Congress for the settlement of the affairs of
Italy is about to meet at Brussels but it is plain
that while the executive authorities Of the chief me-
dating powers are scarcely settled-indeed we
hardly know who governs Germany-but little pro-
gress can be made towards peaceful solution of
Italian affairs.
The Papal States have only an unacknowledged
Provisional Government to MAINTAIN order in the
capital.
NJ. Cameti, the Commissary General of the Papa
army, has arrived in Paris on his way to London,
charged with mission to both the French and
English Governments; and in short time the
feeling OF Russia which power has always inter-
fered boldly in Italian affairs will be known so
that The final disposition of the Pope's person. as
well as his ultimate political destiny, cannot be
longer delayed
The relations of Naples and Sicily remain almost
in Stdtu gao.
AT Genoa there has been some slight popular
outbreak.
AT Turin the King seems to have laid aside his
Warllke tendencies and the final adjustment of the
Lombardy frontier seems remote ever.
The accounts from Rome to-day are by no means
satisfactory for the cause of order. The clubs are
now in possession of the Government, and their
chief, Lucen Bonaparte, seems resolved TO destroy
the temporal sovereignty of the Pope. The opinion
OF the French Cabinet, at present. is said TO be in
favor OF demonstration on behalf of the Pope, but
IN such way not TO have the air of hostile
Intervention against the Roman people. 1t is how
ever quite evident to our Ministers that the real
Roman people have very little voice in what is now
going on. The manifestation at Rome against the
Pope IS the work Of the commissaries of the Red
Republicans of France and of the red-hot dema-
gogues from other Italian States.
1t is reported here to-day that the Pope has ac-
cepted the invitation Of the President of the Repub
lie TO visit Paris but that he will not come before
May. Several diplomatic appointments have been
made by the Ministry, but the names have not
TRANSFERRED 1t is said, however, that two of the old
dipomatists of Louis Philippe, III. de Bourgueney
and another, are to have high posts.
AUsTRIA.-In Austria public attention is mainly
directed to the against the Hungarians. We
have but very imperfect accounts of the progress of
this civil strife. The Imperialiss, however, have
taken Odenbening, Trynau and Presburg-the
Magyars retiring before them. 1t is said that the
Imperiasts will Immediately invest Pesth, and
crush Kossuth and his followers.
On the other hand 1t must be remembered that
the Hungarans pursued that system of defence
best adapted to their country, and their want of
sources and by LAYING waste the country as the

mountable impediments at this season in the march
of their enemies The Austrians are REIN
forced with ample funds by Russia, which it is posi-
lively stated have been supplied by way of loans.
The Hungarians, it is supposed, will have no alter
native but TO submit.
Vienna and the provinces are all tranquil.
The accounts of the success of the Imperial
troops against the Hungarians rather more def
mite. 1t appears that on the approach of the I'm
peralisGs towards Presburg, the garrison 10000
strong, were preparing to defend the town, but the
citizens opposed that step, and then withdrew,
fearing that they would have to contend against
internal as well as an external foe. They Were
followed by Jellachieh as far Wiesselburg,
where sanguinary conflict ensued between them
and the CrOatians. portion of Wiesseburg was
reduced TO ashes and still larger portion pundered
by the Croatians. Numbers of the inhabitants of
VIE sselburg well as of Raab and Kogern, carry
on an immense corn trade and are enormously rich,
so that the CrOatians no doubt found good booty,
unless the Wiesselburgers had packed off their
vauabIes before the arrival of their rapacious wish
tiers. Ii is said that the lmperaists lost at Wessel
burg two generals four staff officers, and ftyseven
sub-officers. On the other hand the Magyars lost
in prisoners alone 1872 who were forwarded to Oh
mutt meantime the Magyars claim complete
victory over the troops of the well-known Pastor
Urban, who mas been taken prisoner. On the
l6th the defile of Jablunka, which leads from Mo-
ravia into Hungary, was entirely in the hands Of
the Magyars, who had rendered it impossible even
for smugglers.
According to the latest intelligence, Gen. Scy-
lick was advancing towards Pesth from the Gay-
ran side. 1t is thought, however, that the Hunga-
rian army the frontiers of Sebengurgen will
continue to hold him in check. Letters from War
saw of the 10th December announce the confisca-
ton of the property of Gen. BEN, who commanded
a portion of the insurgents in Vienna, and who
is now in the Hungarian service. The young En-
peror is expected 10 arrive in Vienna on New Year
