Writing from Vienna on the 7th instant, a correspondent of
the Co- logne Gazette says— No deputation will represent the Austrian army at the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. It is the Emperor's own will and pleasure. Ministers had discussed the matter, and had even agreed to propose to the Sovereign that all Generals who had at any time served in the regiment Wellington, as well as the superior officers now serving in itahould be selected to represent the Austrian army on the solemn occasion. When the subject was broached to the Emperor, he shortly replied= Oentlemen, you have been wasting your time and perceiving the surprise of his audience, he added, There -will be no deputation to London. The Austrian uniform has been insulted in London by a street mob, and no satisfaction has hitherto been rendered. They shall not have a second chance.' " [Was Haynau in 'uniform when he visited the London brewery ?]
