Notwithstanding the positive announcement made by several German journals of au approaching interview of the Emperor of Austria , with the Czar , and , at which tho Prince Regent , it was stated , would also be present , no steps have been taken with that object up to the present time , either by tbe Emperor of Austria or the Czar .

The insurrection against the authority of the King of Naples appears to be spreading rapidly in the southern portion of the Italian Peninsula . Meanwhile the
