The Austrian steam frig4te Novara, Captain
Josef Aueruhamer Won Auconstein, recently left
New York, with the intention Of stopping at
Boston, previous to her return TO Europe, and
her arrival there is daily expected. The rare APP
pearance in Boston harbor of an Austrian man
of-war will cause the visit of the Novara TO ex-
cite more than usual attention. Besides she is
the favorite ship of the Austrian navy, and has
distinguished history in the past. The name
she bears is in honor of the battle of Novara,
which was won by the celebrated Raditsh in
in 1S4S, and her career since she entered upon
active service has been of an interesting char
acter. In 1856 she started on q voyage OF sci
entific exploration around the world, in which
she was engaged for about two years, and had
on board, as lieutenant under instructions, the
Prince Macmillan, whose tragic end at later
period in Mexico has excited the feelings of the
civilized world as no modern public character
has done. On this voyage he was learning the
first lessons of seamanship. The Novara also
bore a distinguished part in the battle of LISA,
in the Adriatic, on which occasion the first shot
fired came from the Italians, killing her COM
mander Errick Won Klint who was standing on
the bridge watching the commencement OF the
conflict. In 1864 she conveyed to Mexico the
unfortunate Macmillan, the future short-lived
emperor of that country, and in 1869 she was
selected to carry home the body of the Inflated
prince. Upon her arrival at Trieste, from Mex
leo, she was put out of commission for time.
On her present voyage to this country she has
visited the naval school at Annapolis and the
port of New York.
