The people of Cattaro are up in arms against the

Austrian Government. The pretext is the new conscription for the landwehr, the real reason that the Montenegrins behind want an outlet of their own to the sea. They are clients of Russia, which just now wants to give Count von Beust a lesson,—that he had better not disregard St. Petersburgh quite so much. It is believed the insurrection will require a considerable force, perhaps 10,000 men, as the citizens have fled to the mountains, where they can defend themselves. The arrangement which gives that long strip of sea-coast to Austria, thus shutting out all European Turkey from the Adriatic, is geographically an odd one, but for the present it suits Europe.
