The proclamation of the Austrian Emperor con- 

 cludes os follows— "Austria, faithful to her mis- 

 sion in the political world, has drawn the sword to 

 defend the rights which treaties have given her, 

 and to maintain the independence of European 

 Stoles." 



Napoleon sent to the Corps Legislatif, on the 3d, 







» Austria bos virtually declared war against France, 

 and nothing remains for France but to take up the 

 Sword in defence of Italy. He disclaims all idea 

 of conquest, and professes nothing but the purest 

 sympathy for Italy, and says he is about to place 

 himself at the head of the army, and leave the 

 Empress and bis son to the patriotic care of the

What Napoleoh Contracts to Pbrforu.— A 

 gossiping letter from Paris, speaking about the 

 Austrian Emperor's mother, says :— " The Arch- 

 duchess is a woman of the most powerful intellect, 

 and still holds her rule over her son as firmlyas in 

 the days of bis minority. Her penetration is pro- 

 verbial ; and she still consults with Meltcrnicb up- 

 on all subjects connected with the interests of the 

 Austrian Crown. Ever since the marriage 

 Prince Napoleon, the suspicions of tbe lady hai 

 been aroused; and at length, by dint of artifice 

 and money, of fuilb in themselves and the w 

 it in others, the experienced pair have succeeded 

 in obtaining the full copy of the letters of Prii 

 Napoleon and the Emperor of the French to the 

 King of Sardinia, by which it becomes clear that 

 the war in Italy is but a secondary object — that the 

 ultimate end it the bestowal of Lombard;/ on Kim) 

 Victor, Rome on Prince Napoleon, Naples on Pri 

 Mural, and the overthrow of Austria, which leui 

 the road open to Russia; and then — hurrah for the 

 lOBg-cberished idea of an attack on England 1 — the 

 deed which is to render his name immortal as that 

 ■sar, and efface that of the great Napoleon, by 

 performing that which even be never dared to do, 

 and avenging him." A nice little job and very 

 :asily completed, no doubt!

 that various enterprising New Yorkers had con 

 traded not only for the completion or the task, bu 1 

 also for furnishing a bran new government to tht
