THE ',TIMES' °SORRESPONDENT AT  VIENNA.  .TO TEI SDITOII 01 THE DAILY NEWS. 6114-4 have lately returned from Vienna, and therefore know what is going on there ; and you will not wonder if I tell you that I have read with intense astonishment and disgust the articles in the Times, emanating from their "Own Correspondent" at that place. Rut when, in this day's paper, I find an assertion made by that gentleman, in reference to the national guard, that the majority of the citizens of %%enva would object to wear again that uniform of which they had so much reason to be ashamed during the latter part of 1818, I must ask fur a small space in your valuable journal to enter my indignant protest against such an assertion—a protest which will be echoed by thousands of my countrymen. We have reason ' to be, not ashamed, but proud of that uniform, which, when we wore, we proved that it covered hearts worthy of that great and glorious lib-rty for which we have hitherto struggled in vain, bat which, depend upon it, in spite of the Times and its scribes, we shall yet live to c3nquer and enjoy. If that struggle has been sullied by a solitary crime, such as the murder of Count Latour (which no one will attempt to justify, even in an outbreak of popular fury), upon which the Times never ceases to vent its virtuous indignation—l would request that exemplary journal to compare that solitary crime with the wholesale butcheries, woman-floggings, and official highway robberies, perpetrated by the "paternal government" on a vanquished people, and then say who has reason to be ashamed ? _ . .  --...-- . I could easily show you, did I not fear to trespass on your columns, how it is that statements like these aro allowed to go forth to the world, as representing the sentiments of the denizens of Austria: there is no chance of amli alteram partem—there is at at present no press in Austria to represent the feelings of the people, who are threatened with a sample of the " powder and lead" jurisdicion, if they are found guilty of the crime of subscribing to a liberal paper. But should you think these lines worthy of insertion, I may in a future letter draw you a little pi tare of the state of things in Austria. which will do the Times et hoc genus omnes heart good to read. In one of your late numbers you made a very clever observation : that the correspondence of the Times was such as the Austrian police would be glad to pay for the insertion of. But I do not wish to leave that exemplary official body under the imputation of ever having had such a bright idea as that of promulgating their principles abroad. The "Own Correspondent" of the Times at Vienna is a teacher of languages, who would do much better to stick to his Lie dley Murray, and his qure taribta, than meddle with politics, of which he knows about as much as a Greenwich pensioner of tight-rope 'lancing. Tois is the "authority " on which your contemporary prides himself so greatly, and who has had the singular magnanimity or effrontery (I am not sufficiently acquainted with the English language to dscide which is the proper term) to proclaim to the world that he was ready to became personally responsible to whoever was found bold enough to take up the gauntlet for each and every ore of the infamous calumnies he has thought proper to heap on the unfortunate heroes who fought in the noble cause of the " half-savage hordes" (as the Times apostrophises them to-day) of Hungary. I am, yours. &c., AN
