Opinion OF the Austrian Press.

Almost all the Viennese journals consider the speech Of
the Emperor calculated to create uneasiness.
The official Wiener Ze,ung Of Nov 6, referring to the
speech OF the Emperor Napoleon says 1t cannot refrain
from remarkng that the treaties OF Vienna have not
ceased to exist because according to international stpu
laions they have been partially modified. or because
their service upon isolated points have been shaken The
TACT is that Austria has always honestly fulfilled the rea
ties. Even her endeavors to bring about German reform
have boen based upon European treaty rights and
specially directed to appease the agitation OF Germany

The leading papers OF the 9TH inst again recur to the

while some writers regard the speech as eminently
pacific, others look upon 1t as Indicative or war.

Rebels Repulsed Near Natchez-'
500 Prisoners Captured.

e NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1l.-Three or four
thousand troops under Writ, Adams, Cros-
by and Logan, appeared in the vicinity of
Natchez early this week and attacked our
forces under Gen. Gresham, but were re-
pulsed and pursued and it is said we took
800 prisoners. ......
n The steamer Won Phul, which left here
for st. Louis on Monday, was badly dam
aged by rebel battery just above Bayou
Sara. A shell exploded in the pilot iIousc,
killing the Captain and Mr.. Curry, the bar
tender. Nine boat hands were wounded,
three fatally. The boat was saved from Ut
ter destruction.
Lieut.. Cove, of Boston, and seven Others
of the Massachusetts cavalry, were captur-
ed O few days age, near Port Hudson, by a
party of Logan's men. Lieutenant. Cove
was badly wounded, and four of his men
more or less seriously injured.
Brighten. Weitzel, commanding the 1st
division Of the 10Th corps, goes north to-
morrow by the Morning Star. ltis expect
ed he will be transferred to Gen. Buffers
department in compliance with the wish of
the latter general. Others think he will re-
turn to this department-with two stars.
Reports that have been current, of a con-
spiracy between colored troops and rebel
prisoners, are false.
Adestructive fire occurred here this morn
ing. Loss estimated at S250,000. Several
buildings were consumed on Tchoupitoulas
street. between Greavier street and Natchez
alley; they consisted of the large hardware
store of Griff, Byrnes & Co..; the store of
Smith & Ziegler, and two stores well stock
ed with liquors belonging to Jonas Pickles.
Several other buildings on Natchez alley
were injured by the falling of the walls.
One fireman was killed, and several injur-
ed. ....
New ORLEANS, Dec. 12.-The excitement
occasioned here by the report of mutiny at
Fort Jackson on the 9th, has barely subsi-
ded. Yet the most wild and improbable
rumOrs prevailed that every white man in
the fort had been massacreed, that the ne
groes were about to kill every white man in
the vicinity, etc; but the truth was known
at headquarters early on the morning Of the
10th. The facts are as follows:
The negroes had taken otlense at one of
| the officers In command and had sworn ven
geance. In trying to get possession of his
person, they encountered more opposition
| than they anticipated, and fired some shots
at radon and into the air, but they never
| intended TO incite mutiny or shed blood
NUta person was injured in the whole affair;
| it did not last half an hour. The officers
easily quieted the men and they have not
since made any demonstrations. There is
no news from Texas except the capture OF
Fort Esperanz in Matagorda bay.
