The Journals Discussing the Affair.
LONDON, April 27.-The scandal in rela-
ton to the appointment of the American
Vienna Exposition Commission occupies
public attention in Vienna. The subject is
discussed in the journals. Gen. Van Buren,
has addressed to President Grant q strong
remonstrance against his suspension. 1t is
openly charged that he was cognizant OF
the exactions. The suspended commits
sioners are disposed to deny the authority
of Minister Jay to temporarily remove them.
The NeIe Erie Presse quotes Minister Jay
as lis authority, and, evidently inspired by
him, alleges that large sums were
paid to the suspended commissioners before
leaving America by number of large firms
for various concessions. Money was &C
cepted on pretext of subscription for the
erection of model schoolhouse; and the
journal IRONICALLY remarks: "They thus ex-
hibit the fruits of that institution" 1t
mentions that two restaurant-keepers Ger
mans) paid each $1,000 for the school
house. Minister Jay and Gen. Van Buren,
have evidently been at variance from the
beginning; and the delay and indignation in
the American department of the EXPOSE
ton is a necessary consequence. The list
of American exhibitors, and the plan of al
lotment of space to them, are not forthcom-
ing. 1t is reported that they were sent to
London by express, and are lost; but it is
probable that they are among the official
papers, and that Gen. Mayer refuses to de-
liver them to the newly-appointed commits
sioners.

yesterday to fill vacancies in the Assembly
was the election of three Radicals, four Re

surprise at the vote in the Department Of
| Seine. The Conservative papers say it il
| Que to Theirs leaning to the Left and thu
Republicans journals attribute it to mis-
| takes in the Assembly. The Bien Public
| looks upon Baradet's triumph as a serious
event, but repudiates the idea that its party
is discouraged. The Monarchial press gen
orally regard the election as a terribl,
awakening for the Conservatives. L,
Temps pron0unces it a warning to thu
Government. The moderate Republican,
who supported Count DeResumat are EN-
| tarrassed by bis defeat. NJ. DeResumsi
| has expressed his desire TO resign the Min
istry Of Foreign Affairs, but Presiden
| Theirs has induced him to remain in office
