The Daily Dispatch: July 9, 1862., [Electronic resource], Extensive Mail Robbery in Austria. (search)
Extensive Mail Robbery in Austria. --A carrier in the post office of Vienna has been detected in stealing letters. No less than 62,720, unopened, were found at his lodgings. He was afraid to burn them up, lest the smoke and smell should attract attention. Among the complications cleared up by the discover of these missing letters, is one involving the inheritance of three orphans. Kallah, the guilty carrier had been engaged in this work over two years.

sterday, carried instructions to General Forey to issue a proclamation immediately on arriving at the city of Mexico, to the effect that the French Government will recognize the Government of Mr. Jefferson Davis. The General Correspondent of Vienna, 23d, has the following: We have received intelligence from London which, if confirmed, would appear of the highest importance. Lord Palmerston is reported to have conceived the idea bf submitting the American quarrel to the arbitration of the Brazilian conflict, has probably some connection with the American project. A New York adventurer, named Wm. Cornell Jewett, is making a tour of Europe, on the subject of peace between the Confederate and United States. A dispatch from Vienna, the 25th, has the following about his movements: Mr. Jewett, who came to Europe on a mission the object of which was to restore peace in America, had a private interview to-day with Count Rechberg, on the subject of mediation, on the basis

French, who gave them every encouragement to proceed with their motion in Parliament for the recognition of the Confederacy. Mr. Roebuck's motion, it is further stated, was to have come up on the 30th June. The latest date is the 28th. From Vienna comes the strange statement that Lord Palmerston will endeavor to have the American question submitted to the King of the Belgians for arbitration. The repeated recurrence of the press and the statesmen of Europe to the question of the recogs to the time when this is done they must decide. All we ask is that they shall take their step upon their own views of what is proper, and not from any idea that we are depending upon them or looking to them for aid. The point put forth in Vienna, that Lord Palmerston will seek to have the American question submitted to the Belgian King for arbitration, has no probability about it. It is certainly not to be thought of by the South.--Lord Palmerston, who is so much opposed to all interfer

it, indeed, it seems to be very evident that not only the British Cabinet, but the large maturity of the British nation, are opposed to recognizing the independence of the Confederate States. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Palmerston Ministry to exist any longer. Words of encouragement, and even of flattery, we have in abundance. But no people know better than the English the vast difference between "empty prams and solid padding," to use an expression of Edmund Burke. The Vienna report with regard to the determination of the Emperor Napoleon is hardly worthy of serious consideration. Whatever may be the designs of that personage, he is well knows to be the most inscrutable of all living statesmen, and it is not likely that he should let them escape before they had become ripe for execution. It is probable that his conversation with Messrs. Roebuck and Lind, say was designed as a feeler, after the manner of the pamphlets which he makes some one father just before

ull information in Morgan's possession of all he wished to know, but when he got what he wanted he treated his tools as badly as enemies, and bade them good bye by taking the horses with which they had followed to guide him. Already steps are on foot to detect these men, and some who have figured no little in public life may find the cell too thin to cover the favor they showed the freebooter and big crew. For a space of ton miles in width every horse was stolen and individual residents were insulted or killed. The same policy was pursued at Salem and all along the route. Ransom, money, or the flames, were the alternatives presented to every wealthy manufacturer or miller, and everything was merged in the one desire — plunder. Singularly enough, greenbacks only were current, and all money was required to be in Treasury notes. Nearly 1,000 horses were taken between the river and Vienna, and in Salem alone three citizens were each put to a ransom of $4,000 to save their mills.

25,000 men were armed and ready to meet the "bloody invader." Remaining at Salem only long enough to destroy the railroad bridge and track, we sent a scout to the Ohio and Mississippi road, near Seymour, to burn two bridges, a depot, and destroy the track for two miles, which was effected in an incredibly short time. Then taking the road to Lexington, after riding all night, reached that point at daylight, capturing a number of supplies and destroying during the night the depot and track at Vienna, on the Jeffersonville and Indianapolis Railroad--Leaving Lexington, passed on North to the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, near Vernon, where, finding Gen Manson with a heavy force of infantry, we skirmished with him two hours as a feint, while the main command moved round the town to Dupont, where squads were sent out to cut the roads between Vernon and Seymour on the west, Vernon and Laurenceburg on the east, Vernon and Madison on the south, and Vernon and Columbus on the north.

Reported Russo-Yankee alliance. --The Vienna Press, of August 19th, has the following: We hear that communications have been received from an English source, according to which we must prepare-ourselves for the approaching ratification of an offensive and defensive alliance between St. Petersburg and Washington. This eventuality, should this somewhat speculative information be confirmed, would principally affect the bearings of the Mexican and Polish questions.

Austria and the United States. --The Cincinnati Times publishes and extract from a private letter received by a citizen of that city from a gentleman of Vienna, Austria, which discloses a new reason why Maximilian was induced to accept the throne of Mexico. The writer of the letter, says the Times, has from his position rare opportunities to ascertain diplomatic secrets: Vienna, August 20, 1863.--I can also give you a little political information, which may interest you Americans. You may remember the Kostza affair, and the so-called Hulseman letter. The Austrian Government has never forgotten nor forgiven the insult then offered to her flag and her diplomatic representative. The insult was given to Austria, she thinks, because her naval power was small, and because she had no efficient means to resent it, and therefore had to pocket it. They believe here that the United States would not have done so to either France or England. When the first overture for the Mexic

The Paris correspondent of the Times thinks it doubtful that the French Chambers will accede to the guarantees demanded by the Archduke, viz: the integrity of the new Empire and a loan. The Polish question. The Memorial Diplomatique has published a dispatch to the French Minister at Vienna, containing proposals for guaranteeing Austria against eventualities in case Russia refuses to adopt the course suggested by the allies in reference to Poland. it is dated in June last. A great number of important arrests are reported in Warsaw, including forty members of the municipality. The Saxon Consul has been confined to his house and his effects sealed up.

Napoleon's position towards Russia, Austria, and England, on the Polse. Question. --The Memorial Diplomatique, of October 21, publishes the following analysis of the dispatch cent by M. Drouyn de L'huys to the Ambassadors of France in London and Vienna upon the 20th June last, and of the dispatch forwarded upon the following day to the Due de Grament: In the first dispatch the Cabinet considers the preliminary agreement of the three Courts as a gauge of moderation and strength, because, although it imposes upon them the necessity of proceeding by way of compromise, it adds to the authority of their language; it shows them united in the pursuit of the same end. It is as useful as necessary to maintain this solidarity which, in addition, presents a guarantee of security for Austria, most exposed by her geographical position. The dignity of the three Powers which signed the notes of April 10, and the gravity of the interests which they defend; render it a duty to for
