The Vienna correspondent OF the HERALD, writing
under date OF August 2 SAYS:
The last mail from Albania brings us alarming

closed for several days, but It IS doubtful If any

which may he summed up IN two words-namelv,

Lothian Austria and the leaders OF the Czech party.
The reports given OF those transactions vary accord

some Count Hohenwart is said to have succeeded In
bringing over the malcontents; by others he is rep
resented TO have completely failed. What the nature
OF the compromise proposed by Count Hohenwart to
know, but we have at our hands very good means
OF forming fair guess. A remarkable pamphlet,
