AUSTRIA.  VIENNA, August 13.  The Vienna papers of to-day state that in consequence of the circular of the Turkish Government, protesting against the removal of Candiote fugitives to Greece by European men of war, the Austrian commander in Candian waters has received orders to convey Christians seeking refuge on board his vessels to Turkish territory. At the same time the Austrian consular agents have been instructed to see that the promise given by Turkey that the fugitives should be well received is loyally executed, and to mako the local Turkish authorities answerable for their proper treatment.  Powers. Although yesterday was Sunday the trial of the woman Frigard, for the alleged murder near Fontainbleau, was proceeded with at Melun. The case for the prosecution was not concluded. The chief point of interest of the evidence given was that of Madame Boyer, who keeps the accounts at the Hotel du France et Angleterre at Fontainbleau. She stated that, during her temporary absence on the evening of the 7th of May, the servants had received two ladies from Paris at the hotel. When she saw them, from their vulgar manner and behaviour, she regretted that they had been admitted. She did not see either of them the next morning, but in the afternoon about four o'clock the !shorter one of the two (the prisoner) came back and told her that she had lost her friend in the forest, but that she was not uneasy about her, because she expected to find her at the railway station. The witness added that while the prisoner was saying these things, which she thought very strange, she examined the lady. She was continually smiling, but, nevertheless, there was something about her (the prisoner) which the witness did not like. A cold fowl was served up to the prisoner for dinner, which she carved into pieces, but she eat a simple morsel, and left by the omnibus at a quarter past six for the station for Paris. On leaving the prisoner again smiled at the witness, a fact which, said the latter, did not confirm her good opinion of a woman who said that she had left her friend alone in the forest. The prisoner next paid for her dinner with a bank-note for 100 f., which was identified as being the property of the deceased.

Among the circumstances which seem to justify a belief that the , Exhibition building will not be destroyed is a report that a company has proposed to lease the building just as it is stands for an annual rent of 200,000 f. The same company also undertakes to reimburse in 30 annuities the 22 millions expended in the construction of the Palace and its dependencies. The weather is still settled.
