It is to be presumed that the government Of tho
United States is just now much occupied with
home matters, that it find leisure to caro- for
the interests Of Americans travelling or s0j0urnng
in this country, for am informed that Mr. McCurdy,
the present Charge d'Afaires returns homo in
few weeks, although there is not even consul here
just now, Mr.. Schwartz, . very prominent and inau-
entail member OF the ult.amontane st. Severin's
Union, having recently been dismissed. Americans
have been in remarkably bad odor in Austria

garded with extreme Jealousy by the authorities, it
is, to say the least Of it, hardly prudent to leave
them without any protection here. The Russian
Chancellor Of State, Count Nesserode, who arrived
here two days snce has already visited the Foreign
Minister, Count Buol, the English and French Mi
nisteIs and his ancient friend and ally. Prince Net
ternich. yesterday had an opportunity Of seeing
Count Nesselrode and Baron Msyerndorf, the Rus
sian Minister at this court, together The former,
lively little man Of H. appears destined to be an
octogenarian, while tho latter, man Of 40 or 80,
who is said to be the proposed successor of Nessel
rode, seems terribly care worn, melancholy, and
sick]y Marshal Radetsky, whs will he IS on the I'd
Of next month, is waiting to receive the Emperor in
the camp at Pordenone.
