PEsTH, Dec IA piece fnews so extraordinary
mas reached the high political circles of this CITY
that 1t is not without hesitation ventura to com
municate it; and yet these circles have excellent
means of obtaining the earliest and best jnforma
ton. The news is that the EMPEROR Of Austria
contemplates abGicating the crown in favor of his
son, child born the 2lst of August. 1858 and an
pointing as Regent his brother, the Archduke Max
lmilian, formerly Governor of Lombardo-Y enetia.
The reason assigned for the projected abdcation is
that the Emperor sees with dismav that Austria il
going to rack and ruin, and shrinks from the risk
OF figuring personally in history as "the last of the
hapsourgs." On the other hand, being an obsti-
nate and wrong headed young man, he will not con-
sent to make the important concessions to the diff.
ferent parts of his empire, and especially to Hun
gary, by which alone the dangers now impendnu
over Austria could, perhaps, for time be averted
There is yet another reason and that is freed from
the cares OF Government, his Majesty could devote
himself with ardor to the two pursuits which form
the passion of his life and the object of his HIGHEST

The venerable Greek Bishop of Munkacs, whose
recent mysterious disappearance produced \ nrn
found sensation in the country, has returned to his
diocesan city. VI course, he has been questioned
with the greatest curiosity to where he has been
confined, and what was the reason assigned for his
arrest; put on these points he does not vouchsafe
any explanation. The fact is, probably that tbn
Austrian authorities who carried him off and COOP
ed MN up, have positively prohibited him from
speaking word about the matter; and as he i a
very old man, and in very delicate health he is
AFRAID 10 open his mouth, lest serious consequences
should betal him. Strange as it NAV seem in En-
gSh eyes, 1t Is no rare thing in Austria, and espe
clally IN hungary, for the Government to vhisk off
people to fortresses to keep them there for nerods
more or less long, and then to release them on CON
altion OF their not saying word on the subject of
