The Washington papers contain an adver-
tisement offering for sale or rent the fur
nished residence of tina Austrian Minister.
This is regarded in diplomatic circles as a
positive indication that the representative Of
the Austrian Emperor, Count Wydenbrock,
expects TO learn BY the next steamer that
troops have been sent from Austria to Mex
ieo and that the published dispatch from
See. Seward to Mr.. Motley has convinced
him that on the receipt OF this news he will
receive his passports, which would only
leave him four and twenty hours in which
to leave this metropolis.
Both the Intelhgsneer and the republican
who represent the two wings of the Admin

WASHINGTON. MAY 9

The semi-ofhcial statement Of the agent OF
the Associated Press of Cabinet meeting
yesterday upon the Recons truction report,
excites much comment. Ii is generally be
lieyed to be correct statement. and II WIS
undoubtedly furnished with the consent OF
the President.
1t Is rumored that Mr.. Seward prepared
1t.
1he Radical Republicans are ineensed at
the apparent double-iealing OF Mr. Stanton
who has come out IN the character OF a cln-
seryA.Iye.
The publication Is regarded as an attempt
to influence public OPINION ami if possible
head Oft the anticipated action Of Congress.
The opposition leaders persist in regard
ing the pan Of the Reconstruction Commit
toe as INTENDED to shut out the South from
participating IN the next Presidential cleo
tiOn, but no such thought was entertained
by the Committee. 1t is quite probable that
the Report will be modified when action is
tax upon it IN the House and Senate.

NEW York, April 80,

The Tribune says of the plan for recon
struction which has been reported y the
JOINT Com :. We may accept and consider it
the Union party's plan. Our preference for
a much shorter and simpler programme Is
well known; universal amnesty, impartial
suffrage, such are its conditions and the
whole OF them.
The Herald says: The plan is ingeniously
contrived. 1t is considerably milder than
any thing heretofore emanating from the
Committee, and nearer the policy and views
Of the President
The Times says: The scheme seems sweep
ing enough to satisfy the most exacting radi-
cal as plan of pacifcation and reconstruc-
tion. The whole thing is worse than a
burlesque. Its proper designation would be
"a plan to prolong indefinitely theexclusion OF
the South from Congress by imposing con-
ditions TO which the Southern people
will never submit They would ray the
purpose Of the scheme would not have been
more apparent had it been labeled an intalli-
bic plan for preventing the South from voting
at the next Presidential election.
