      cally ' of-extraordinary' councillors - ^ a poor essay an imperial legislative assembly . The Emperorappoints as counciHoi's for life the archdukes * the ' , ecclesiastical dignitaries , and several -high civil and military personages . The Provincial Assemblies are to . propose for the Emperor's nomination fhirty-ei'srht candidates , who will Continue their functions during a period of six years . The attributes--not powers or privileges—the attributes of the Council are to extend to the examination of fche budget , the accounts of the ^ National Debt Commission , the consideration of important alterations ( not reforms ) , or the creation of new laws , of general interest , and to the proposals made by provincial assemblies . The Council of the Empire has not the right of taking the initiative in the proposal of any measure . The ministers and chiefs of central administrations are authorised to take part in the deliberations of the Council . The expenses of members will not b '; defrayed by the State . A second Edict convokes this Council for the month of May to

      discuss the budget for 1861 . The Gotha Tageblatb about a fortnight ago produced a translation of an article in the Tjon don Times Which had caused the exclusion of that English paper from the Austrian dominions . Other papers had before given extracts of the article without being molested , and the Tugebiatt thinking to present a piq . uant treat to its subscribers , translated literally ^ he entire article . It had no sooner appeared than the magistracy ' , having , without , question , received a quick sharp hint from abroad , confiscated the journal , and instituted

      legi . il ¦' proceedings against the publisher . Here we have another proof of the petty , unstatesmanlike system pursued by 'these socalled 'governments . The ¦ Gotha Tagehla ' lt -is a paper . hitherto hardly known beyond its own locality , and but very few German Tinners had reproduced the Times article , but since this prosecution has . been ¦ commenced everyone is curious to read the article , And the Taqeblaft ' containing' it is drfncu . lt to be got at any price . Whererve r you meet with a ¦ ¦ copy it is in shreds from having passed through so man v hands .

      The Evangelical community of Pressburg have almost unanimously refused to obey the prescriptions of the Imperial Edict of 1 st September last . ¦ /]
