The marriage of the Emperor of Austria with the Princess
Elizabeth, daughter of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, was celebrated on Monday, in the Imperial Church of St. Augustine, at Vienna. The Empress had arrived at Nassdorff on Saturday, and had been lodged in the palace of Schfinbrunn with her mother, in order that she might enter the city of Vienna in state on Sunday. About two o'clock on that day, the bride went to the Theresianum, and there, in accordance with an old custom, completed her bridal toilet, assuming the wreath and diadem. The Viennese were extremely delighted that she wore pink and white, the colours of the Archduchy of Austria. From the Theresianum, preceded and followed by a splendid cavalcade of troops and nobles, she was conducted through streets crowded with people, and decked out with triumphal arches, flags, and numberless devices, to the Imperial Burg. Here the glittering procession was met by the Emperor ; who assisted his spouse from the carriage, " embraced her with genuine affection," says the court reporter, and " conducted her to the palace of his ancestors."
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated the 28th instant, says- " Austrian intervention against Montenegro is projected. The occupa- tion of Albania and Herzegowina has been determined. Orders were sent yesterday to that effect. Austrian and English men-of-war will support the operations."
Another Russian prize, of small tonnage, laden with salt from Cadiz, was captured off Folkestone yesterday, by Captain Skipworth of the Coast Guard.
A second Russian bark was seized, last night, off Folkestone by the Lion, revenue cruiser.
. The Morning Chroniek reports that the allied fleets in the Black Sea have captured three Russian coasting vessels.
