AUSTRIA. A"''US
A letter from Vienna, of the 10Th, in the Colooas
Gazette, saws:
"Two days back Sir Hamilton Seymour doIirar
ed to Count de Buol a note from the ENGLISH Cahi
net in which the Lord Malmesbury notified the
Austrian Minister Of Foreign Affairs its entrance
INTO once, and requested, in the most cordial man
ner, for himself and his colleagues the continuaton
OF the same friendly relations between Austria and
England as had existed under the previous admin
istration.
1t Is said that this note also states that under ex
lstng circumstances complete accord between
England, AUSTRIA and Prussia on all ouestions
would be most desirable, and that the new Cabinet
was was desirous of establishing such an agreement
Il hhls news caused great satisfaction to Count de
Buol, who on the following day communicated the
note to the Emperor who also received it with great
pleasure"
Another letter from Vienna, in the Zet of Berlin.
says "lhe Emperor has addressed an autograph
letter to the Minister of Finance in which ha ra
quests report to be Immediately presented of the
new source of taxation which NAV exist; he at
the same time desires that fresh taxes NAV be
levied OF nature to iIritate the people and that
the amount on each taxpayer may not be increased
in any sensible degree"
The Frankfort Journal, which is very intimately
connected with the Austrian officials publishes ?
Vienna letter on the extreme danger of the Imperia
policy in France. The editors of the Berlin Jour
mails have been ofhcial cautioned to be very guard
cd IN their remarks on French politics. 1t is not
known whether this has been done by initiative of
Government m in nplio 81 l..
of the French Cabinet
The Vienna correspondent of the Times saws that
the publication of the letters of Napoleon | in the
UoniteHr has given great offence to the HIGHEST cir
clcs of the Austrian capital. One of the documents
given In the WOneur is Napoleon's address to the
Tyroese, in which he points out to them that thew
were the victims of the passions of single family
lhe court OF Vienna is greatly incensed at this.
RUSSIA.
letter from Warsaw of March 81, states that
camp OF 100000 men will be formed there towards
the middle of May. This measure is considered to
he manifestation against Austria. A great agita-
ton prevails in Russia, in consequence of the oppo-
sltlon of the nobility to the emancipation of the
seriS. Many great proprietors have fled to ST. Pc
tersburg in fear of their lives
A dispatch from st. Petersburg saws Russia is
Watchng with great interest the relations of Eng
land and France. The Russian navy is fully
manned, and shipbuilding largely increased
Russia has no intention of accepting English and
French consuls in the Black Sea III susnicious
Russia will not speedily forget or forgive the treat
ment she received from Austria during the late war;
and annoyances of every sort will be the reprsals
she will indulge in. 1t is stated in a letter from
Warsaw that a camp of 100, 900 men will be formed
towards the middle of May, expressly contrived az
demonstration against Austria. The nobility of
RUSSIA nave taken strong stand against the liberia
ton othe serfs and great excitement in consequence
prevails in ST. Petersburg.

CHINA.
The Geographic advices from Alexandria report
an arrival from Canton, with dates to the 18th Febe
ruary Canton was quiet. America and Russia
have Joined the alliance, and course of common ac
ton has been agreed upon. The four representa-
tlves were about to proceed to a rendezvous at
Shanghai. Trade had re-opened at Canton, and
the site OF the new factories had been marked out
The Chinese authorities receive the duties.
The 10th Sepoy regiment had arrived, and was
quartered within the walls of Canton. No other re
Inducements had arrived
The Tunes has received its cOrrespondence dated
Canton and Hong Kong, January 29th. In Can
ton' neither IN words nor gesture, was there any
symptom OF hostility or dislike. Canton is as safe
as the streets OF London. The mixed commission
for the government of the city works we'll
police force has been organized, one-half
consisting of Europeans and the other half
ChlQpSe. Chinese (rnvnppnr -
klgin complimenting him the state of af
fairs, and suggesting that the Chinese were now
such excellent friends, it was quite unnecessary to
keep soldiers in the city. This polite mpertinence
produced reply, reminding the Tartar General
OF stipulation that the arms of the Tartar SOL
dIery should be given up, and it was thereupon
enforced The Chinese loss during the lombard
ment had been ascertained not to exceed 2O3 The
presence of Yeh in Canton River was considered
as exercising an unavoidable influence on our deal
ings with the Chinese, and it was probable he
would be sent Calcutta.
A Government Gazette, published at Hong Kong
January Is, notices that the blockade of the port
and river of Canton was to be raised February
10th. The city and suburbs were to be open to
foreigners, under certain conditions, and martial
law was to continue during the occupation by the
allied forces.
The correspondent of the Tunes writes as follows:
"Jan. 30. Their Excellencies Lord Elgn and Bar
on lie Gros still keep their stations at the CITY. 1t
is said the ambassadors will proceed north early
as practicable. One or two regiments of native
troops expected here shortly from Bengal"
NAPLES
The King of Naples, finding that the capture of
the Cagliar Illegal has released Park and w Watt,
the two English engineers, who were seized on
board, and who have been kept for nine months in
a confinement which at first was loathsome to
throw Watt into a state of insanity, from which it
is doubtful if he will recover. At first it was
supposed by government that the capture of the
vessel had taken place in the Neapolitan waters land
that the men were consequently bound to submit to
t1,ab ryofN uiuric1 D,,E,
evidence brought to light during the trial which is
proceeding has shown, apparently beyond all
question, that it effected outside the legal limits
Sardinia has accordingly made an imperative de-
mand for the restoration of the ship and there was
prospect that the House of Commons would force
the Derby Cabinet to show similar vigor with re-
gard to the English engineers.
The King of Naples is perhaps disposed to defy
Sardinia but not England, and still less Sardinia
and England combined. He has, therefore, endeav-
ored to cut away the prospect of joint action
the part of the two states by hastily surrenderng to
our requirements. With Sardinia he doubtless
thinks he can now deal alone. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that the English Government will still en-
force an item of the account which remains to be
satisfied, that of granting compensation to the in
| ured men. What the amount of compensation
should be for causing insanity is hard question
PIEDMONT
An interesting and spirited controversy is going
on in Piedmont to the possibility of successfully
| achieving the daring task of cutting tunnel
| through the bowels of Mount Cenis The contem-
plated tunnel will be eight miles long, and about
mile below the summit of the loftest mountains in
! Europe.
