EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
From Austria.

The Gazette qf the Empire at Vienna announces
that the Austrian Charge d'Atfaires at Washing
ton has received instructions to protest formally,
in the name of his master, against the policy pur-
sued by the President Of the United States during
the Hungarian war;
Advices from Vienna to the 14th ult. are re-
ceived. 1t appears that the publication Of certain
documents indicating the intention of the United
States to acknowledge the independence Of Hun
gary, if that country succeeded in its efforts to ac
quire it, attracted considerable attention. y.
The austrian Correspondence journal states that
1t has been shown by the declarations of the Anne
rican President, that the United States were pre-
pared to recognize the independence of Hun
gary SO soon victory had declared itself for the
insurgents, and adds, that the Austrian govern
ment has held itself bound to protest against this
resolution. t EsrEas
The Reichs Zeiiung has published some singu-
lar official documents connected with the line Of
conduct pursued by the government of the United
States during the Hungarian revolution, from
which, incomplete as they are, it is evident that
the Americans had cast longing eye on Fiume.
The Austrian government has despatched note
to Washington, protesting against conduct so OPP
posed to International laws, and so little in keep
ing with the friendly relations which have always
existed between the two countries. " The note
in question:" says the Rechs Zeitung, 6 is not a
Remuneration Of any Of the mutual commercial
treaties, but simply the assurance, that though the
tile measures it attaches to them more impor-
lance than they desrve." .sH
BARON HAYNAU. - Haynau, Radetsky, and
Windschgratz have all been guilty of the same
offence against the Austrian government. Hay
nat and Windischgratz were dismissed from their
high official stations, and it is announced that, but
for Radetsky's hold on the affections of his sol
ders, he would soon be displaced also. The
offence of these men is, that they have paid no
heed TO the orders of government. In fact, they
sometimes did not take the trouble to open the
orders sent them, if they supposed that they ran
counter to their own intentions. Haynau was,
within his province, perfect despot. He pun
shed persons whom the court pardoned, and set
free those whom the court willed to have he avily
punished The latest case of the latter kind pro-
cured his dismissal.
CHANGE OF Government IN FRAHcE.-Since
the return of President Napoleon from Compeigne,
rumors of change in the government have re-
vived. We learn from letter Of the Paris cor
respondent Of the London Standard, the following
particulars OF the design. General Changarnier
having resisted overtures to effect coup d 'etat,
the Elysee is said to rely now on the Count
Montalambert for obtaining the consent of suf-
fcently large number Of the Assembly to accom-
plish change in the Constitution. The plan pro-
posed is to create Senate, into which 24O per-
sons of distinction have agreed to enter. Count
Montalambert is to be made President, with
carte blanche to do all he thinks calculated to pro-
mote the interests of the church. He is known to
be Indifferent to legitimacy, and not particularly
attached to Oreansn. His whole ambition Is to
serve the church. He sees that Louis Napoleon
has a strong hold on the small farmers and pea
santry and is in a better position than any one
else to found sort Of liberal despotism.
