A d cree has been issued in Austria r specting the press. Just criticism invited, butfprejudicial opinions w: not be tolerated. It is said that Au tri-? is intriguing to* annex the Ionii Isles tu her empire. It is* denied th there was any secret treaty in the i cent Austro-Prussiau negotiatior The navigation treaty between En land and Prussia has been signed.

The murder of the Frenchman Ott, : by Count Erfreiberg, is being inves- ; tigated by a commission, and it is ! again stated that France has demand- ' ed .satisfaction of Prussia for the i murder** The Fenian movement continued to cause some apprehension. A meeting had been convened in County Cork to consider what steps are to be taken in view of the progress of the Fe nia?ism movements in that section. The London Times says that in the abse*nce of precise information con? cerning Fenianism, it is impossible to determine what significance is to be attributed to important movements of members of the order, but the amount of repre-ssion will be very slight, as the feeling of dissatisfac? tion is entirely eonfined to the lowest class of Irish people. The channel fleet has left Portsmouth for the Dish coast, but Fenianism had nothing to do wjth its movements. The British Parliament has been j again prorogued.

TIKED OF FREEDOM.-"We predicted that the negroes who were renting houses and trying to support them? selves, would, in many instances, soon get te> the end of their row, and be? come involved. A woman we've long known, and' who, in Confederate times, ^ lived sumptuously and paid good wages to her master, called upon us on ?uesday in great distress. She offered to sell " herself back into slavery in order to pay nearly a hun? dred dollars rent, accumulated against her, and in order, too* to secure a per-? manent home, froe from the anxieties and troubles she Lad experienced since she became free ; she was tired of freedom. She has found it, by sad experience, utterly impossible to provide herself with the common necessaries of life and meet her rent. | Now she'is fearful that her landlord ? will deal harshly with her, and is try- j ing to borrow the resit money, even I offering to become a slave again. She ; a?N>ed with' us that the people gene- ] rally were far better off, in a pecuni- j arv point of view, last, year than at i this time.? Then, everything was j ! enormously high, but money, such as it was, was easily earned oisborrowed; ! now prices are low, with money searcc and labor not in general demand. Her case i's not an isolated one in this j city or in the Southern States. [Mo7tt//vmeri/ T^cdf/er. j President Johnson has granted a full pardon to the Kev. H. E.
