ropoan journals and correspondence will
be found very interesting.
Tho Berlin correspondent Of the n.
Y. Herald says
Austria, Of course, is furious the as
.surances Of Count WaIewski and the
attentions lavished on her Ambassador
at Paris, Prince Metternich, had com.
pletely misled her; she was firmly con-
WINGED that Louis Napoleon was as zeal
Gus in the cause Of the restoration, as
devotcdly attached to the Pope, and as
bitterly opposed to the heretical En-
glish, as she' is herself, and her disap.
Ipointment and modification are now
equal to her former confidence. Fran.
! els Joseph is reported to be quite be-
! side himself with rage and there would
be reason to fear a repetition Of the coup
de tiis he was guilty Of last April, If
the deplorable condition Of his empire
did not preclude all possibility Of recon.
mcncing a struggle in which he has al
ready been so disastrously worstod.
Another correspondent Of the Her
aid says:
In Austria, the government is most
sorely troubled. 1t seems to be impos-
siblo for them to ropress the impend-
ling revolution that is brewing in Hun
gary. The people Of that kingdom are
getting more aud more audacous, and
Francis Joseph is at his wits end
How to stay the storm he cannot tell
The Hungarians who are serving in the
army band together, refuse to obey
German officers, and desert in great
numbers. A short time since, alta ball
given at Pesth, the Uupgarians refused
to allow the musiqUe to play any Ger.
man airs, and at the theatcrs all allu.
sions to the Austrian government are
received with Kisses. The fact is, Aus
tria's prestige is gone; Sollerino will
cling to her until she is crushed under
the contact In Venetia, and especial
lily in Venice the same spirit of revolu-
ton is evinced None Of the citizens
of Venice will 90 to the thoaters, and
all of them do all they can to show their
resentment against the Austrians.-
They no longer 90 to hear the military
hands that play in the evenings, and
affect to cross the street when they meet
an Austrian officer
A letter from Vienna Of the 14th ult
says:
There has been such a fall at the
Bourse here during the last few days
that the financial world has been com.
Ipletely alarmed. Time bargains are
difficult in consequence of the mistrus
which prevails, and there are no sellers
Except for cash. just as before the
commencement of the war of Italy
many large capitalists are eager to sci
their Austrian stock and employ the
money in the purchase Of bills on for
eign countries and of specie. Foreign
exchanges and the premium on specie
are continually on the rise, and there il
great difficulty in procuring good draft
or specie in exchange for bank notes
In presence of those difficulties and Of
the state Of uncertainty caused by tn,
Italian question, the idea Of the sale oil
the Austrian possessions in Italy every
day acquires more and more cOnsistencr
among the enlightened men ofall classes
The plan is openly discussed, and th
solution is regarded ms the most effect
ual means for relieving the political po
siton Of Austria and for assisting tn
finances.

Tribune gives the following very fre
