WARRINGTON ITEMS.
DIPLOMATIC RuMpRs.

| The unexpected announcement that the
| furnished residence of Count Wydenbruck
1.-THE Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
/ Plcnipotcntary from Austria) is for sale
or rent. has caused quite commotion in
diplomatic circles. Ii will be remembered
/ that limitations have been given that the
Secretary of State has informed Mr.. Mot
| lev, our Minister at Vienna, that the sail
ing of Austrian troops for Mexico will not
be tolerated by this Government. That
Austrian troops have been ordered to sail
| is doubtless known to Count Wydcnbruck,
and as the next European mail may bring
adviccs of their departure, he is doubtless
putting his house in order, as, if his pass
ports are sent him, nc will have but four
and twenty hours in which to leave our
city.-Stdr.

introduced by Mr.. Stevens in the House

PARDoNs ISSUED.
The President to-day ordered pardons to
he issued to forty-nine Texans, under the
first exception of the Amnesty Proclama-
ton, as having held civil Offices under the
so-callcd Confederate Government; three
from Georgia, ten from Louisiana, and five
from Alabama, under the thirteenth or the
twenty -thousand-dollar exception. All of
these were recommended by the Governors
of their respective States.
SPECIMEN CURRENCY NOTES.
As erroneous statements in reference to
this subject have appeared, we will state
that, in order to satisfy the numerous APP
plications to the United States Treasury
! for specimens Of the different fractional
currency notes issued by the Government
/ for cabinets and albums, a proposition Is
under consideration, which it is expected
will be favorably decided, to print the face
/ of each note on one sheet and the back on
another: and on the reverse of each half
note to print the word "Specimen in
bronze which cannot be erased. These
notes it is proposed to sell for half the
price of the face, and redeem them, if pre-
scutcd, at the same value. 1t is believed
that considerable sum will accrue from
their sale.
THE HABEAS CORPUS N TEXAS.
Another proclamation from the PrcSl-
dent having reference to Texas and refer
ring explicitly to martial law and the hobedS
corpus may soon be looked for.
The President has been much in consul
tation with Democratic members of Con-
grcsS and his policy, long since marked
out and announced, will soon begin to be
dcyelopcd. If the Senate are disposed to
make war on the President Ivy refusing to
confirm his appointments, or even by holder
steps, the President is quite ready to meet
them on their own ground. Something
startling in this direction may soon be
looked for.-Nc,o York Ne,rS (Sen%dtionaD.
