FEELING IN AUSTRIA

The Austrian press. as might be expected, is any
thing but pleased with the compromise proposed in
the pamphlet which is the event of the day. The
yet Oentsche Post condemns it on the ground that
it is a complete abandonment of the policy which
that journal has attributed to France since the day
of Villafranca.
The Post Anlpt Gazette looks on it as direct me-
mace Tor Austria, and excaims: eff Austria has
no longer any rights in Italy, none exist anywhere
for anybody"
A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels saws: As
to the Court of Austria, it will take good care not
to treat the new pamphlet as utopian as the Aus
trlan statesmen affected to do with regard to the
former one of "Napoeon Ill. ct Italie.' The pro-
posals respecting the recognizing of the Pope's
temporal power will not only encounter less erpo-
sition than might be expected on the part of the
Austrian Penipotentiaries, but private letters from
Vienna state that the statesmen of that country are
beginning to perceive the mpossibility of restoring
the Italian Dukes and are almost reconced to the
idea OF organizing State of Central Italy compris-
ing the Roman Legation. Who will be the sover-
eign of this State? The Court of Vienna ITSELF &C.

RAIN IN EGYPr.-lt has long been prevalent
Gplnlon that 1t never or very rarely rains in Egypt
Formerly it was said that there was no rain at all;
and several wet days having been observed of late
years, they were supposed to have been caused by
change of climate, produced, it was imagined,
by some extensive plantations in the valley Of the
Nile. NJ Jomard, however, shows, by documentary
evidence, that all these opinions of no rain and
change of climate are erroneous. Rain, and heavy
rains, with thunder and lightning, though rare
visitors, are not strangers in Egypt
sir archibald Alison, in his History of Europe,
writes as follows:-"lt never rains in Egypt; CEN
turies may elapse without more than shower of
drizziing mist moistening the surface of the SOIL
1t is said that it has not raned in Egypt for 100
years" correspondent of the Times writes from
Alexandria, Oct. 81, 1856, as Enthusiastically
men express their astonishment at the heavy rains
we have lately experienced, having come with the
erroneous impression that it rains in Egypt"
Upon this, it is naively asked whether the rain
which is referred to thus by the above correspon-
dent is the first which has appeared in Egypt for
l1OO years, or whether the great modern historian
cited?
