VIENNA, May 8, 1871.
The dissatisfaction which has for q long time ex.
listed against the ilibera provisions Of the Concor-
dat with the Church Of Rome has been matter OF
serious thought to the Austrian government.
The Concordat did not we'll define the limit be.
tween the civil and spiritual authorities, and gave
undue powers to the latter to NEEDLE with the
affairs OF the State.
This has caused great dissatisfaction among the
liberals in Austria
The agitation had OF late assumed formidable d.
mensons. and numerous petitions from all parts OF
Austria have been presented to the Austrian MIN
istry.
All urged the abolition Of this oppressive treaty.
The D0liE(,r movements in Bavaria have in
creased these agtalons. The enthusiastically
those Of the province Of Tyrol-have strenuous!y
worked against the repeal OF the concordat and tine
enforcement of the dogma OF infalbility.
The Emperor ana his Ministry are known = be-
adverse to the resolutions OF the Ecumenical Coun
Gil, which have been strongly opposed by the Aus
trian Bishop (Strossmeyer) and other prelates In
Vienna.
The Minister Of Instruction at to.days session Of

taken position In favor OF the abolition OF the Con-
cordat with the Church Of Rome, and would now
consider the practical consequence to the empire
and people Of the dogma Of infalibllity.

Hopes Entertained Of a Route Win
Tuyra Being Successful
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 3, 1871.
The HERALD's special correspondent with
tho Darien surveying expedition sends tho
following report regarding their operations.
CHIPAGANA, Columbia, April 25, 1871.
The survey of the Darien canal route from
Cupica Bay to the Atrato, via Napipi river IN
complete. The United States steamer Resaca
has returned to this settlement to await the arri-
val of the party from Boca Paya. Commander
seIfridge thinks bis discovery successful fog
the purpose intended.
The distance from Cupica Bay to the Atrato,
along the bends of the Napipi river, is sixty
nine and half miles; on straight lIne only
twenty miles from The Atrato. Some Of tho
party proceeded to Vega village, ten miles
further up, for provisions. The Napipi river
flows through mountainous country for about
thirteen miles from the foot OF the divide, and
is supplied from tho Doguado river as
tributary.
II is proposed to make thirteen locks from
the Doguado, eighteen miles from the Atrato,
to the divide, then to tunnel through and
descend to the Pacific by nine locks.
The survey occupied twenty seven days.
No intelligence has been received from the
explorers up the Cue. 1t is certain they have
met the party following the Paroncheta river
from the Atrato. The elevation 10 that direc-
ton is likely to exceed that previously an
nounced, in regarding the route via Tuyra a.
The party will return as they
came. Those on this side intend drawing q
line from the headwaters Of the Cue. ;
Great hardships have been experienced by
the party moving along that river. Two
thirds Of the men are down with the fever.
Over twenty seamen and macheteros are UNDER
medical treatment at Boca Paya. Only four
men and On officer were able to advance to
the divide. The entire party will return to
the Resaca in fortnight. It is still hoped
that the route via Tuyra will prove sue.

what Of tho Lupacy Commission Bill

What OF tho Lupacy Commission BiMs
The Legislature at Albany passed, at the
end of the late session, bill to protect people
from the Infamous practices Of unscrupulous
doctors, private lunatic asylums and cruel
relatives in shutting up their victims on pre-
tence Of lunacy. The law was to make it COM
pulsory that all persons charged with being Of
pnsound mind should be examined by CON-
mission of three capable physicians, appointed
by the Mayor Of the city, before they could
be incarcerated either 10 private or public
asylum. Heavy penalties were to be imposed
for the violation or evasion of this law. It is
known that persons not of unsound mind are
shut up in private asylums, and sometimes in
public ones, by revengeful or designing relatives,
often to get at property, through the conniv-
ance ofignorant or corrupt doctors Some such
gases have obtained public notoriety through
the courts and In other ways; but there are,
nQ doubt, many others that are never brought
70 light. What can be more horrible? The
ACT referred to was intended, as we said, to
prevent such outrages. We have heard moth
Ing Of this excellent act since It passed the
Legislature. What has become Of ita Has
the Governor pocketed it? We hope not, for
the cost of such commission would be trife
compared With The value qf il to the public.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

FLORENCE, May B. 1871.
The Papal Guarantees bill, which was adopted
after lengthy and exciting debate by the Italian
House Of Deputies, met but little opposition In the
Senate.
The bill provides for the payment Of the liabilities
OF the Holy See, and has been framed with view
Of concating the conflicting interests Of the King
dom and that of the Papacy.
Its provisions are not unfavorable to the worldly
affairs OF the Holy Father
In fact several Italian journals consider the in
terests Of the Kingdom compromised by the liberal
concessions maze TO the late Papal government.
A few unimportant notifications Of this measure
were, however proposed In the Senate, and the bill
was slightly amended.
After lengthy but unanimated discussion the Pa
pal Guarantees bill was passed. by vote OF los to 90
and then returned to the Chamber OF Deputies.
