snny the Hungarian papers contain many
inportant communications about the work

tween Alexander and Fransis Joseph at Weimar,

Porte; while a constitution given TO the Moldo-
Wallachisns though always euded and defeated by

CALLING to the Cabinet Of Vienna; but, as long as
England is embarrassed by the Indian mutiny
Francis Joseph cannot do anything but try to gain
time by any possible obstruction. The fact that a
Rpssian and French war steamer have gone up the
Danube 70 Widdin con pleasure trip" has
given great ofieDse TO the Austrian authorities,
sbce the event is calculated to impress the inhabi-
tants of the Lower Danube with the import

while these things happen in the Principalities,

agitation. Brimine ham and Lege are now expert
nf mere muskets, pistols and regolyers to Constan-
tisople and Turkey than at any time during the
Russian war. All the SlayOnic Christians who were
formerly prohibited from wearing arms, are now
eagerly buying weapons, as if preparing for great
struggle. Prince DaDilo of Montenegro has ad-
dressed them BY proclamatOns, claiming the chief

eternal hatred 10 the MOslems he has 1tey occupied

the Porte, is threatened with q revolution and the
arrest of two Of his former Minister'S at least shows
his spprehensions though it is more probable that
they really have plotted his assassination in order to
order 10 get Russian partisan on the throne. Ac-
cordDg b the Austrian papers, Slavonc outbreak
