Tax d ft. rent parties engaged in the great and complier stile which is to decide the liberties, the fortunes, an I even the nationality, of Austria, seem laaraaatt , with the magnitude of all that is at stake. The Car r -ks his crown, the people their liberties. Croats at.. Hungarians feel that theirs must be a com bat of lib and death. AU concerned show signs of hesitation. Days are spent in parley, in which the military d.. not assume the most determined tone. Even the Emperor and his family receive the deputies of the Viennese blandly, and thank them far their, .• Silence. The poor Emperor is incapable of leakier a rational answer of himself; for it has pleased Pr, vidence to expose this ancient empire to political convulsion under an hereditary sovereign who has not ti,. intellect of a child. But his Chamberlain (Prince L. mitowrrz) assures the deputies that the im perial tro• tn. will not attack Vienna. In trail, they are in no condition to make any such attempt. l'he withdrawal of AtAdIiBPERG from the strong p sition which he held in the suburb of Vienna, t %ether with his letters to the Ban and to the Viennese, evince his unmistakeable anxiety to be let alone, and his profound re pugnance ,o more fightinr. Jethscitica writes to have the Hungarians sent away, and to have fn e supplies of provisions. Both the armies, the Slav •nian regiments of Aer.a.srintr; and the Croats of tne Ban, occupy the extensive plain south of Vienna, b ,unded to the west by 'he long line of hills which crd t!..e mountains of the Scemmeriog. The Bee inhatins Schonbrunn, AUEISPERG a village on the Ine of the railway to Trieste. Behind them the Rungs: ians have pitched and entrenched their camp at Swachat, from which they stretch along the canal to the Danube. What renders the position of the Ban most serious is, that his advance upon Vienna has aroused the German feelings of the Styrian', and the entire country south of the Sceramering is in arms and marching to succour Vienna and annihilate the Croats. There was a talk of Jahrrcuxu's having re turned by Ncustadt towards his own country, but this is impossible; his retreat is cut off. ACYJUIPERO does not at all make common mass with him, so that to hold his ground Deems impossible. His only support, as indeed that AUZASTO:IIO, is in the advance of Oen. WINDISCII OZATZ. That general, as will be seen front the Leipsig paper, only left Prague for Glantz as the Hr was to pus two days there. The Viennese will, of course, take precautions to prevent his paging the Danube in the vicinity of their city. He mast, probably, go round by Krems to crow it, and the Ban and AIIIIMPIJW, if nnattacked, may fall back and join him, in order to attempt the sighs of Vienna. But with an Hungarian army, its own enthusiastic population, and the whole country 'Guth of the Danube in arms and excited against the Slavoniano, especially since the Croats have been plundering and disarming the villages, it is not at all certain that the imperial general can reduce Vienna. Meantime the deputies of the Assembly propose a very fat plan of accommodation. They recommend a congress or convention of the different races and coustrom, of Bohemian, and Hungarian, andenfat,and Austrian-German. They demand, too, that the Lom bards and Veaetians shall be represented in this congress of nationalities, which is to consider how their muftis' rivalries can be conciliated, and their respective liberties .seared, consistently with the unity of the empire and the tights of the sovereign. There can be no better plan devised for avoiding the horrors of civil war than this. It is impossible not to feel that the Emperor, even if victorious, entering at the head of his Slevonian army, amidst the ruins of his Getman capital, must abandon the -idea of being ever again considered thc sovereign of his German subjects. The revolt of Vienna is evidently not the work of a mere rabble. However idly began, the conduct of the court, the ministers, and the military, has romp d, not only the citizens, but the populati.n of the Austrian proviecce, in a common cause; and this cannot be extinguished save in the purest German blood of the empire. Victory in such a strife would to the imperial house and the monarchy be u per nicious as defeat. OCR eIIANCILLOR OT THE Excrizqurs kid it down as a mas Atka mien thAt equality of taxation was thing a thing i *bk. Fiscal law, he admitted, had no bawds could have none. Fiscal authority, he wvileck ,i. uld only regard a man's circumstances Xclitbissilko limit of one fiscal year—its view only ex tended frtra , ispril to .April. Whether after that epoch drithalsttAhe head of the family left that Tamil tute, or bequeathed to it its anal annual ..i. *7. income, this was all MO to Sir CUAELSA WOOD : he would exact the same per centage. Although the tax was but a nail-paring in one cue, and a pound of flesh from off the heart in the other, Sir CHARLIIII WOOD declared that, although he saw the difference, he could take no account of it. Parliament, we feel confident, will put up with no such tome t and, whatever parliament may, the public will not. ALd the only consequence of the ex restive coafessiag its inability to cape with this and similar questions will be, that parliament most take them op and do itself the work that government ma fioso Welt no longer capable of. Let there be a com mittee or committees to examine into the whole state of taxation, so as to arrive at an equality of burdens, and *distribution of them en some other principle than that of hazard, or of pushing the weake4 to the wall. As to the claim of life incomes to pay less than per manent ones, it is almost an insult to reason to argue such a pint. it stands to reason of itself with suffi cient prominence. The French committee of finance, appointed to examine the question of an income tax, began by laying down the principle that if permanent property should pay, as was proposed, 4 per cent., temporary income should pair two. As the French proposed to treat capital engaged in trade or manufac ture in the same category as fixed capital, they were stopped by the difficulty of distinguishing in incomes that part which was the interest of capital, from that which was the return for personal talent and exertion. And then another weightier consideration arose, being the great amount of direct taxation already paid in France, amounting to seventeen millions sterling, of which more than eleven millions are from land tax. . . N. Tntrna too has entered upon the question in his work on " property." We regret to see that he has taken neither a liberal nor what we should consider an enlightened view. His work was undertaken as a refutation of communism ' but unfortunately it ad vances into such hazardous and ultra assertions, that instead of crushing COMM211;3111 it lays open a very weak side to an eloquent reply from the champions of that party. M. Thralls launches at once into the dis puted field of direct and indirect taxation, gives the decided preference to the latter, and declares+, with Sir CHARLFA WOOD, that no approach to equality can be made with direct taxation ; whilst taxes on consump tion are according to him the only fair mode of appor tioning the public burdens. - - • Strange to say, one of theee indirect taxes, which M. Thmits extols as fair, is the salt monopoly; in other words, that tax which weighs most exclusively and iniquitously on the poor. The very nature of in• direct taxation is, indeed, to weigh upon the poor, and to be raised from the wages of labour. This M. TRIERS thinks advisable and just ; and it is with assir tions such as these that he hopes to rebut and unpopu. larise the theories of PROUDUON and LOUIS BLANC. We car.aot conceive any line of argmnent so well cal culated to strengthen communism as the doctrines put forth by M. Timm. The partisans of indirect taxation, icdced, affect to make a difference between the necessaries and the luxuries of the poor. They would give the loaf free and cheap. But the salt, that savours it, they tax. Experience shows that some sort of stimulant is as necessary to life as solid food. And the necessity of this stimulant is felt in even a greater degree by the poor than by the rich. Be it spirit, wine, tea, coffee, tobacco, the poor will use some one of these. And lower wages as we may, a portion of the pittance will go for excitants. A tax on these is therefore a tax on necessaries. But, it will be said, a tax on the necessities and on the wages of labour will finally fall on the em ployers of labour. No doubt, unless there be a surplus of labocr. If there be, even of a momen tary nature, and if trade is stack, the tax falls directly on the poor. But even if it fell on the em ployers of labour, the weight is not by that means equally distributed over the population according to their means. The possessors of realised property em ploy proportionately bat little labour. It is the capital esgitged in active trade, in mannfac tures, that employs labour. And on it falls the great weight of indirect taxation.. Even the farmer's capital does not bear so great a proportion of it as the manufacturer's, for the rustic population do not re quire and do not make such use of stimulants as the town population. This (Won non, however, need not be taken into account; and the farmer is as much en titled u the manufacturer to demand that he should pay on his floating capital a less per centage than fixed property. Mr. MILL, we think, does hot take into account how much more the burden of indirect taxation falls on capital engaged in trade and manu facture, than upon idle or fixed capital, when he as serts that an egad burden of direct taxation should be imposed upon both. However object;onable it may seem, it would be fairer, perhaps, to raise a direct tax on the wages of labour, that is, extend the income tax to the lowest earnings, than to raise the same amount by taxing three and five hundred per cent, those stimulants, and their accompaniments, such as tea, coffee, and sugar, which are found to be necessaries. It would be easier for the labourer to get back from his employer the sums he would then pay, than it is for him now to get back the surplus price which he pays on his tea and sugar; whilst those who were out of work, or on short wages, or in momentary distress, would not be, as now, taxed alike in adversity and in prosperity, the government making itself felt by the poor, merely as taking from hiss that has little, the little that he bath. Tux Archiehasp of DUBLIN enjoys but • very moderate delves of popularity amongst his reverend brethren. He is eminently practical, and hen an ob stinate trick of callirg things by their right names. He does not keep his hearers or readers in a myste rious haze, which prevents them from seeing events in their due proportions. He looks upon the church as a great organisation, placed in the world with enor mous resources, for the purpose of effecting important ends. His addressee, therefore, to his clergy may be generally resolved into two parts. He reminds them of their heavy responsibilities, and gives them instructions how beet to perform their ap pointed mission. His discourses to them, on this account, are not verlioi c i t al: . We are told that not a few of his show some dis content and even alarm at the • • ' of a pastoral charge from his lordship—these addresses cause a flutter amongst the black robes to the very extremity of his diocese: POl:onsie asset simmer intsaditque roam, qoa protases cam, Osatrennat ensue, et mire iDIOWINK• profendw. It is much more pleasant to listen to unatuons ora tions on the apostolical maccession—to retrace with the Bishop of OXFORD put centuries, and fancy one's self an Minion oral:lmam—than to be told " there is a black mass of poverty, filth, and crime festering under those mud cottages in your rural parish ; your constant labour must be to do something to heal this: there is a hot-bed of dense ignorance and misery con fined in those crowded alleys of your city parish, which will bring forth pollution, discontent, and re bellion, it is your task to see that the ground en trusted to your cars shall produce some other harvest than this." His lordship,. however, persists in deliver ing such messages u this to his clergy, and accom panies them with practical directions how to set about remedying those evils which he points out with such accuracy. In a Charge just delivered, amongst a number of sound practical suggestions as to the conduct of the clergy, there are some admirable remarks as to the importance of their "promoting the diffusion, among the people at large, of secular instruction." Some of these remarks are corroborations of the highest value, coming from such a quarter, of the view we have always taken of the subject, particularly in its appli cation to Ireland: In reference to the religious improvement of thee* under our especial care, we should reeollect that we are sot, as you well know, appointed to the office of guides, to be ("Rowed implicitly by a credulous and unthinking multitude, to whom we ere to dictate with absolute authority what they are to believe and to do solely upon our word.

Now, for • pastor who is to dictate absolutely to men who us required blindly to conform to his dictation, it may be desirable that his people should be kept in ignorance, and with their mental powers unexereised and uncultivated. But he who is called on to iustuver, and really does set himself to that talk, will find instruction more eerily and more profilibly received by those whose mental faculties have already reeeived some training—whose intellect has undergone such Wags, r it were, as to prepare it for fHE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1848. the reception and the sues safol growth of the seed.

There is a lair party amonpt the clergy in Ire land who holdoputions diametrically opposed to th o s e contained in this extract. This was sufficiently shown in the discussion on the motion of Mr. 13. A. IGxllr TON on the 21st of August. Mr. HAMILTON on that occasion implored the government either to retraoe the steps they had taken in the matter of education in Ireland, or else make a separate grant for the behoof of those who wished to conduct education on the prin ciple of excluding nine-tenths of the children waiting for instruction—of thaw who did not, in a word, be .... .. . l.eve with the archbishop, that ";civilisation and -con version have always gone hand in hand." The mo- tion was not successful, but the party whom wishes it represents is as strong and as per severing as ever. It is of the highest im portance, therefore, that men in poeitions si milar to that of the archbishop, who hold enlightened opinions, should, like him, have the courage to express them. We are confident that if a few more dignitaries of the church, who are known to entertain temtiments favourable to the national system of education in Ireland, which is already affording instruction to half-a-million of children, would come forward boldly and record their senti ments, they would shame numbers of their opponents into silence. The time are gone in which inaction was safe. If a rag of the church catabliehrount i, to be preserved in Ireland it can only be done by effecting a re-action in its favour. Nothing would so 11114.`h tend to this as a universal demonstration by the clergy in favour of the education of the nation. It wou'd be something to hear the protestant clergymen telling the members of their flocks : " We 'do not wish to eat the bread of idleness. You will not receive the consolations of religion at our hands, we will therefore offer you what is equally in our power to bestow, the benefits of mental culdvatioe. We will endeavour, without prejudice to your reli gious opinions, to bring out those talents from within you which will not only elevate you in the scale of reasonable beings but will make you more capable of judging between your priests and ue. If we may not be your ministers, there can be no harm, and there may be much good in suffering us to be your schoolmasters." If catholic Ire land were to be addressed in this style, we believe that there is a chance of its being educated; but this consummation will be accomplished under no other conditions. As long as the state church, or a large portion of it, continues to tell those who are only by a fiction called its flock, " the only way to the school-room is through the portals of the church," Ireland will remain, as it is now, in a state of mental degradation below every country in Europe. Only by the clergy imitating the example of the archbishop who flings behind him all captious investigation of what would theore tically be me , t di,irable to be done, and confines himself steadily to the question, " What can be done'" will a revolution be effected. The church, it is clear, cannot give what she would wish; let her then give what the people will take, and she will then have dune something to remove the imputation of increasing those many MI MS of division which sever all bonds of sympathy between the government of Ireland and the people. ARCHITECTS may be eurprieed to find themselves classed with the ferocious tribes, but undeniably their greatest enjoyment is in preying one upon another. Mr. CticKaavt.t, delights in adding a second story to Sir JouN SOANY:S Bank of ling:and, Mr. BARRY in new facing Sir JOHN SHANE'S Treasury Buildings, Mr. WORE in new fronting and concealing Mr. Names Buckingham Palace, Mr. SEDNRE SNIRKE in throwing into the shade his brother's club hones in Pall-mall, and now the whole body of British architects are eagerly competing for the merit of rebuilding the National Gallery of their ingenious and, whileliving,very able friend, Mr. WILKINS. bloat one architect erects another is anxious to effect , and it is now thought to have been a piece of romantic folly in an architect like Lord BURLINGTON, to have rebuilt Ism° Joen's Covent-garden church exactly on I s teo's plan. We can fancy a young stude.4 at the Institute of Architects, beholding Messrs. B titav, BLORB, SMIRKE, CoCKERELL, and Co., with a look of tranquil delight, and fancying the time when he might add an attic story to the Bank of England of the one a new facade to the Buckingham Palace of the other— a new satof tea-urns and wind mato the Treasury build ingsof the t hird—andadifferent elevation to the fourth's porphyry cluh house in Pall-mall." What was said of Boset's Treasury buildings tbat they were making a curtsey to Leto° Joe Es's lYhitehall, is the reverse of true of Mr. BARRY'S new front—his tall bully of a building will lead the uneducated to believe that Isteo's Banqueting House is curtseying to Mr. BARRY'S Treasury. It is easy to wee (as matters now go) that where an architect is called in to superintend an alteration, he will only look to himself. We do not wish, it is true, to see any part of Buckingham Palace preserved—or any part of the National Gallery—and our only mo tive in alluding to the recent course pursued by architects is with reference to certain alterations (so they are called, modestly enough), which Mr. Bt.nee has recently made in one of the noblest of English ,edifies—Westminster Abbey. Ignorance has de atroyed almost as much as accident or time, and Mr. Btune is, to our thinking, a remarkable illustration of what a mere architect may irrecoverably destroy. There is no place in the three kingdoms to which a pilgrim from abroad hurries sooner to see than Westminster Abbey. It is, has long been, and should continue to be, the most popular of our permanent London exhibitions. And why ? Not for its ragged wax-work figures—they are no longer shown. Not fur the idle storks which the vergers told there, and country visitors delighted to hear about the lady who died from the prick of a needle —stories of this kind have reseed to be told. Why then is it visited? Is it for its architecture? Certainly not, for beautiful as it is—Lincoln, York, Canterbury, and Salisbury, are finer examples of the same kind, and the choir of St. Saviour's, Southwark, which very few care to see or have seen, is equally fine. Westminster Abbey is visited for its monuments and its associations dear to every Briton, every Ame rican—to our own people from our far and many' colonies, for the tombs and monuments of the illustrious Englishmen who are buried within its walls. It is visited for the chapels of EDWARD the Centaur and HENRY ITlL—few its Poets' Corner, sod those associations, written and traditional, which abbeys and cathedrals of the same period of architec ture and sill finer, architecturally considered, pos sess but partially, or are almost entirely without. It iswith pain, then, for our own sakes and for other, that we have seen, and must condemn, many of the recent alterations made in Westminster Abbey under the superintendence of Mr. Moss. For the sake of an uniformity of paving worthy of a district surveyor be has taken op the identical square stone with " 0 rare Ben Janson" upon it, which marked the grave of the great author of "The Alchemist" and The Fox." He has given us another, it is true, but it is only a copy in place of an original—a War doseestreet canvas instead of an Orleans picture—a Werealsgbam counterfeit for a real Toledo. He has saint away for the same pavior's reason the blue flag ellum which covered the grave and protected the body of ABRAHAM COWLEY. He has reduced Dee- Du's monument by at least one-half, and injured by so doing the effect of one of the beat busts in the Ab bey. He has packed Sir GODFREY KNELLER'S moment near to the clerestory. where the bast cannot be seen, and POPE'S famous epitap_h cannot be read, sad pieced where it stood Sir BICFIARD WESTMA core% quarry of a monument to Mr. Fox, which is without au epitaph. Nor would it be difficult to add to the catalogue of Mr. BLOKE'S enormities in this way, or hard to conceive to what a ruinous extent tench alterations may run if not checked in time by public exposure and public condemnation. We are, perhaps, to attribute these serious offences u much to the foolish spread of the Ecclesiological and Cambridge Camden mania as to ignorance and want of interest on the part of Mr. BLOKE. It is the fashion with a large body of well-meaning young men to view every addition made since the Reformation to • Norman, early . Engli-h, decorated, or perpendicular church, unless in keeping with the architecture and spirit of the period, as an excrescence to be removed. They rould turn out SUAKIN/CARE's monument from 1 the amyl of the church at Stratford (the glory of the place) because it was out of harmony with the sur roundng architecture, sod would destroy Lord Bsco?s statue with its " sic sedebat" in the little churcl of St. Michael's, to discover a choked-up Iplifesin or the remains of a sedilia. That MY. M ORE participates i n this feeling is quite clear horn As Abbey alterations; and hid recommendation to thelkan and Chapter of Westminster not to restore CHADIER'S tomb in the Abbey, because it was not a monunent of CRAUCEIL'E age, and was subsequent to the ltdorination. Strip the south transept of West miaow Abbey of its Poet,' Coiner, and its poets' mo nurneits, and what has it left but its bare pier arches? Strip Stratford Church of SUAKSPEARE'S monument and icily an eeclesiologist will via it ; and strip St. Mielners Church of Lord Bacon's statue, and what is then left to see there but an ugly little poking country church, with walls atverior to the Reforms tioa Surely Mr. BLoRE should bo made to desist; sure.y the 1) an and Chapter of Westminster require a great de-el of looking alter. Not but what we admire a certain uniformity of style, and look upon many of the monuments in the Abbey as eye-sone at the best, and perhaps to be removed; but it is clear that a more incompetent pawn than Mr. 111,0 BE fur such a work could hardly be found. The man who destroyed DRYDEN'S monu ment and lIEN JonsoN's grave-stone is destitute of an association. Poeta' Corner—tl e whole Abbey, indeed, bi pad the stone and mortar of its walls—is not for him. Everything in the bui:ding subsequent to the Reformation he wants only the opportunity to destroy. Lti us retain Westminster Abbey such as it is : nor add to its disfigurements by fresh monuments.

The imperial forces in the vicinity of Vienna are pet down at 98,000, including those et Jellachich and Windischglittz. The armed force in Vienna is calcu lated at 80000, and that of the Hungarian allies at 39,000. The to lowing places near the capital •vere in the possession of the imper:al troops up to the 13 h, tielionlounn, Parsing, Iletzendorf, Eberedurf, aad Gumpoldskirchen. The proceedings of the Diet on the 13th and 14th, of which a full report is annexed, will be read with the greatest ii.terest. The facts they contain need not be repeated here. The students of Vienna, it will be seer, are anxious that blows should be come te. Vienna itself, according to the statement of the presi dent of the Diet, has provisions fur fifteen days in the town itself. Not only are the streets still barricaded within the walls, but in the suburbs also formidable barriers hate since been erected, which are described as resembling little foes. The Viennese have, says the Orster)eirldsrhr, Zeitung, determined to attack the Croatians as soon as the first cannon shot exchange d between them and the Hungarians is heard. Three volunteer regiments have already been formed. Whilst the Viennese are showing their determination to act, the provinces are also exhibiting spirit. At Gratz, on the 12th, the signal was given for the rising of the landsturm, and the country people were coming into the town in crowds . _ The whole of Styria has pronounced in favour of Vienna. According to the Austrian Lloyd's Journal, 3,000 Steycrer had reached Vienna, and 6,000 were at the foot of the Simmering. Even the military in that part of the country were in favour of the Diet. I'eo; le were coming from Marburg and Cilly. At Linz also preparations were making to support the Viet. Addressee of adhesion and support were coining in to the Diet from all quarter.. The Emperor reached Gamete on the 11th, at half past four in the afternoon. Wessemberg had arrived there on the previous evening. Windisehgratz only left Prague with a large number of military, per railway for 011miitz, on the 15th. This latter town seems to be the rendezvous fur all the troops march ing towards Vienna. The Ban Jellachich held his head-quarters at Selionbrunn, and Auersperg at Inzersdurf, on the Ologgnitz Railway line. Baron Recsey, who was appointed by the Em peror president of the Hungarian ministry, and who is low a " prisoner of state' in Vienna, has made an official declaration to the effect that he reluctantly ac cepted the post in obedience to the Emperor'. de mands • that he tendered his resignation shortly afterwards; that he advised the Emperor to with draw the famous manifesto relating to llungary ; and that he was not in communication with the Arch duchess Sophia. The Baron adds that, on the 6th inst., Count Latour handed him two letters from Jellachich, one of which stated that he had taken measures to draw nearer to the capital in order to afford relief, and the other requested reinforcements. Baron Hersey next declares on his honour, that during his interview with Auersperg and Jellachich on the 10111 (after his visit to the Emperor on the preceding day), be did not speak one word about politics or war with the above two individuals. Dohblhof and liornbostel were severely blamed at first for resigning their posts, as it was believed that they came to that determinatiou is order to remove from themselves the responsibility for the late pro- ceedings of the Diet. The general impression now, however, is, that they tendered their resignation on the ground that they could not sign, as requested, the unconstitutional deceees of the Emperor. 'rho Poles in Lemberg, and in fact all throughout Gallicia, arc actively at work in furtherance of their cause. General Dwernicki and General Bern are busily engaged in organising a strong Polish army. There appears to be no lack of money. Latest ac counts state that General Dwernickt has actually joined the Hungarian army with 8,000 Poles. The Cologne Gazette of the 19th inst. states that a warier had reached Frankfort on the 17th, bringing intelligence of the arrival of Wind;sehgratz before Vienna, and the bombardment of the city during four hours. This statement must of course be taken with reserve. Schwacka, where the Hungarians are encamped, is • village of 2.000 inhabitants, more than a mile from the Danube, and is the first post station. A stone monument outside the village mark. the spot where the Emperor Leopold (the meanest of Austria's monarchs) met John Sobiesky after he had raised the siege of Vienna, and driven back the Turks, in 1683. A letter from Pesth, Oct. 8, says that Generals Roth and Phiiippowich, with 57 other officers, had been brought to that place prisoners of war. The rest of the carpi, amounting to 7,450 men, after taking the oath not to take up arms against Hun gary, were disarmed and sent home under escort as far as the Croatian frontiers. Those who were taken prisoners earlier are also to be set at liberty at the conclusion of the war. The Austrian consul in Belgrade (Meyerhofer) had gone with 4,000 Servians to the assistance of the rebel Misers. The following are the proceedings of the Diet on the 13th and 11th. On the 13th, Schuselka, as re porter of the committee of safety, rose and said, "Extraordinary and malevolent reports in provin cial papers, which speak of murder and incen diaries) in Vienna, have Induced the committee, in order to prevent any disunion, to refute such ru mours publicly. The lime people of Vienna is able to watch over its own safety ; and it is for this reason that the committee of safety has found no diffi culty. in preserving security in N'ienna. The pro letartat has been armed for the last eight days, sad during the whole of that disturbed time nothing has happened that might not have befallen us in a tins et complete quiet. We have published a placard to-day, in which we place all private and state property under the safeguard of the people, with the device, 'Pro perty is sacred.' 200,000 florins, c.v., have been allowed to the municipal treasury of Vienna, for the purpose of furnishing bread to the poor who are without it, whilst under arms. This sum ' has been taken from the two millions which have been granted for the use of the poor industrious clams. It has been a very difficult duty for the com mittee to restrain the ardour of the people from com bat. We hold it to be incompatibL with our position and our power to permit a combat, as the Diet seeks to give a peaceable solution through the medium of the Emperor. We speak our policy openly, and to all the world. An attack on our part could only lead to ruin. We are taking steps, however, for the worst. From Styria 300 armed students have arrived ; from Salzburg, 36 students and two prase- through nines Luhkriwi.x, that the two commanders would not maks an attack ; but the dissrm'na Comm ended by tow Excellency of the national guards in the vicinity, the epp rea . Are requisitions, the clewing up of the passage for prov.sioes, &c., are in such vioieut contrast with tress assurances, that the Diet, relying on these fame, muss make a decided protest against them. Tire Diet did not tall the Hungariar s into the country, neither can it de cree that they shall leave it. The Hungarian Diet has givers command to Ws army to follow your Excellency about ohm. ever you go, and not to rest till you are aiiwrmed. The Diet knows no other method of restoring peace than that of re. turning their weapons to the dissanneo national guards, end that you should return into your naive courpry. If these conditions are not complied with, the Diet will consider that it hes done all in its power to set amicably. Its minden of peace will then have trrminwerl. and the fatal disaster of an inevitable war with Hungary will immeliatrly commence. Goldmark proposed that this letter 1* seta to Count Aueraperg, as the Ban is ander his orders, and it is, above all, necessary that the Diet should address ths legal organ. This answer was adopted, and accord ing to Ouldmark's proposal addressed to Count Aaeraperg. The Diet then adjourned. PRUSSIA.—The Berlin papers of the 17th have reached us. The King appears desirous of seizing upon every occasion to let his subjects know that (to use his memorable words at the Cologne festival), " there are princes iu Germany, and that he is one of them." In reply to one of the congratulatory addresses on his birthday, his majesty observed, "We possess still (he here speaks of himself with the royal plural) an bereditaly authority, by God's grace, although it excites envy on many aides, that awbotity ii clitl endowed (alasgeslattel) with full power. I. is th e solo foundation on which the edifice of the constitu tion inuat be trecteLi." sore, who have placed themselves at the disposition of the Diet. Dunne the night we have received an address from in which the people of that town declare that they have not hesitated a moment to answer the call of the Diet. The deputation which husugbt this address, also brought a proclamation harm Windischgrii'z, which has been published all over the country, in which all are.enjoined to keep quiet, and saying that the illegal state of things in Vi enna will soon be put an end to by military force, and that the said military power has not for its ob ject a limitation of constitutional freedom, but the strengthening of it. A letter has been received from the district office (Kreisamt) of Olneitz, saying that the Emperor had determined to take up his court re sidence in that town. A telegraphic despatch states that the Emperor would enter Olmeitz on the 14th. We have also received telegraphic messages from the Commissioner of the Diet, Lacer. The first of these is from Brunn, and says that that town is quit t, and that a guard of 200 national guards had bees sent from thence as a guard of hones= fur the Emperor ta Sellowitz. The second only asks the question whether the Diet here ia in number suffi cient to deliberate. We have received a letter to-day from Aueniperg, in which he gives the answer of the Ban, which is as follows :—' I have received orders to bring my military operations near to the Austrian frontiers; and in compliance with them I have taken up my position at Vienna, and I cannot abandon it kuowing my duty as an Austrian gel:eral.' About half an hour since a deputation came from the Hun garian camp, begging us to give a sate conduct to the camp of Count Auereperg, in order that they may deliver despatches to that general. We have given them an escort" The Diet was adjourned till evening. At five o'clock it resumed. Schuaelka reports from the committee:—" A telegraphic despatch has arrived from the Diet's commissioner, I.Aner. He arrived last night, at 10 pm., at Sellowitz, but the attendants of Archduke Francis Curies re fused to wake him, as they said he kuew all about the state of affairs al ready. This morning he bad an interview with the Emperor, who gave him an answer in writing, the contents of which are the army as that of the non countersigned manifest, of ScliOnbrunn. Prince Lobkowitz said at two different opportunities, that Jellachich and Auersperg would not attack, that the former wasonly fighting against Hungary and would be ordered off A declaration in writing was, how ever, refused. A telegraphic despatch informs us that Windischg. a.z is approaching. An officer hes been received who came on the part of Jella chicb. The Ban said, through his messenger, that he hoped he had by his previous letter worked to a peaceful purpose. He was only there fur the sake of Prete/um, and his doings in Hungary showed that he fought fur the equality dull nations. He would combat anarchy by all the force in hie power. He would much deplore the fact of Vienna becoming the field of battle of the Hungaro-Croatian differences. The'com mittee made answer to Jellachich, that in Vienna neither illegality nor anarchy reigned, and in the absence of the Emperor that the committee preserved ender, and had been supported in so doing by the people. The only extraordinary circumstance of the situation is that the people are under arms, in conseqeence of there being two armies before its walls. In order that this extraordinary state of things may cease, it is only necessary that the Ban should retire, as the continuance of it is chiefly owing to his presence. The Diet does not wish this to be the field of battle of Croato-Hungarian differences, and therefore calls upon the Ban to retire with his troops Goldmark desires that the Ban should be reminded of the shortness of his memory, when on one hand I he speaks of the people's freedom and of friendship, and on the other he outrages that freedom by disarming the national guards of the environs, without any cause assigned, and levying a kind of con tribution by quartering his men in the house; and when even now he is making an attack on the St. Marxer outer wall. The answer of the committee, with the addition proposed by Goldmark, was then adopted. Borrosch then read an address which he had prepared to be sent by a deputation to the Em peror. This was adopted, and a deputation of five members chosen to take it. The names of these deputies are Fischer, Wirzschleiski, Hagenauer, Herzog, and Turko. The Diet then adjourned. In the sitting of the 1•Ith, the President Smolka said :—" Some members proposed yesterday that Selinger should be seat with the deputation to the Emperor, bemuse he is on a good tooting with Prince Lobkowitz, having been his tutor. As the sitting was, however, already closed, we took upon ourselves to allow him to accompany the deputation in the hope that good consequences may resfit from his mission. The decision on this subject was adopted by the Diet. Smolks then said :—" The firs' deputation sent to the Emperor has returned. I call upon Herr Peltier to give us an account of his mission." PEITLER : The deputation, with an address to the Emperor, left Vienna on the 11th and reached Bruen on the 12th. There having learnt that the Emperor had gone on to Sellowitz, we followed him. We were ushered in to an audience chamber in which were Archduke Francis Charles and Prince Lobko witz. Schmidt, after a few preliminary remarks, gave the address from the Diet to l'rince Lobkowitz • and after the reading of an answer in substance th e same as the manifesto of the 6th, the Archduke and the Prince retired without giving the deputation an opportunity to make any further remarks. Lobko witz gave the assurance however that the military would make no attack, and that his Majesty was ex. traordivarily rejoiced at the expressed confidence of the Diet. Schmidt, by order of the deputation, sent a written application to the Emperor and to the Archduke, bat no answer was returned. At an early hour next morning their Majesties journeyed further. Several false rumours have been spread, and I will here rectify them. As we came to Sellowitz there was a great confusion there, so that we were obliged to wait an hour in the ante-chamber, as the guard showed themselves to be rather indignant, but it was not the fault of the court. On our departure, Count Lazansky informed us that there had not been a single room ready for oar reception. The de- (From last night's Gazette.) lay before the audience was owing to the fatigue of WINDSOR CAsTLE, OCT. 18.—This day had audi their Majesties on account of their journey.

Th e workmen on the canal commenced raising barri cades, after several of their companions had been killed or mortally wounded. The report of 'nese dia. tarbanct s brought all business at the Baur e to I stand still. During the evening, barricades wets commenced in several crects, but were soon aban doned. It appears that eight working men have been killed, and many wounded. A captain in the civic gu ird was also shot dead. The disturbances were not renewed. Tt.e city was crowded with military. FItANKFORT.—The dates from this free city are to Oct. 18. The central executive has sent * Herr Welker and Herr Mosle, as central commissioners to Vienna, in order to take all the necessary steps for the ending of the civil war and the restoration of peace. Bavarian troops have a-rived in Hildburg. hausen, in order to assist in repressing the distur bances occasioned by the arrest and forcible release of the editor of the local paper. The editor of the Seebliitkr of Constance has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the House of Correc ion, tor having published an article against the Vicar of the Empire. On the 13in numerous intlaninsatory p:a. cards were posted in Munich, in which capital great excitement prevails. The legislative chamber of Saxc-Altenburg has requested the Vicar of the Emnire to withdraw the Saxon troops from Sale-Altenburg, and send them •.o Vienna, the force of that little state being, as asserted, strong eaough to maintain order. The hint about Vienna is looked upon as a bitter jest. PRANCE.—DIATURBANCEB AT FECANIP ASD BASIL/S.—Considerable disturbances have arisen at Fecamp by the people preventing the shipment of potatoes for Eng and. The troops of the line from Horn were immediately sent to Fecamp, and suppresied the riot. 0 t the 19th, a similar riot occurred at Havre, where three Eng:ish sees els were loading, and on the national gaud bring called out to restore order, a great part refused to act, an they did not wish to tee the potatoes taken from their vicinity, where they were rapidly advancing in price. Fortunately 500 of the line returned from Fecamp, and were immediately called on by the authorities, and the people, after a bard struggle, in which several on either side were wounded, were (m. 4 off the quays, round which the troops were drawn uo, while a por tion of them (the troops of the line) were enaatted in putting the cargoes oar board, as the people would not do it. Order was afterwards restored, but it was fully expected the same disorders would be repeated on the following day (Friday). A grand fraternising banquet of 2,000 is to take place on Sunday at Havre, and it is feared NAY' serious events may happen. PRUSSIA.—Tne CIIOLEILA.—Letters from Berlin of the 14th state that the cholera is on the increase in that capital. Between the 12th and 13th, 28 new cases were de clared, and during the following 24 hour. 46 additional. Up to the prase tit time the malady has attacked in Berlin 2,102 peeson,, of whim 1,312 have succumbed, 494 have lecovered, and 296 rem !in on hand. At Konigsberg the disease rages with the greatest intensity. During the &y of the 10th inst. alone, 100 fresh cases were declared, and the number of deaths amounted to 42. Amo ,, gat the victims may be men. tiooed Dr. Woblgemuth, the head physician of the hospital f r poor cholera pa. lents. In consequence of the violence of the epidi mic, the burgomuter of Konigsberg has counter mended all the public r,jsicincs ordered for the King's birthday. Two of the deputies from Konigsberg to the Na tiousl Assembly, Mg.
