Austrian IDEAS Of Farrasut's Mission.
Florence letter, in the General Correspondence
Of Vienna, says:-Admiral Farragut attracts more
attention than was caused by the commander Of
feeble division OF i've ships Of war. However, the
Eastern question may break out from any day to
another and the United States intend intervene In
the affairs Of Europe since France thought proper to

with the view OF arriving at more prompt repres-
sion of brgandage. That arrangement authorized o
detachment to pass from one territory to the Other
within determined limits and under certain reserves,
in pursuit OF suspected persons. The POntihcal
authorities do not seem disposed to consent to the
renewal.
