Austria is crumbling into anarchy from that anarchy will spring her regeneration. It is a lament able doom, however, that no despotism so old and so heterogeneous as that of the House of Hapsburg can he transiormed into a free and constitutional Government without the nation passing through a tremendous crisis of ruin, blood, crime, rapine, and atrocity. That doom has descended upon Austria— it has overshadowed the capital—it has fallen with a blighting intensity upon the palace. The spectacle which is now visible in Vienna is as ghastly as that which, in Parii in 1792, affrighted the whole family of Europeans. Nor is the political resemblance merely superficial. The diverse and heterogeneous classes in France evinced as little tendency to cohesion, even when heated in the crucible of the liberal philosophers of the eighteenth century, as the diverse and heterogeneous races in the Aus trian empire defy all endeavours to fuse them into one compact and uniform nationality. Whatever eoacesaions have been made by the Emperor Fax DINAND have been made as grudgingly as those which only lengthened the agonies of King Louts XVI.-4o employ the expressive phrase of one of our most distinguished juriscensults, they have been con cessions " written in the statute-book with the trembling band of Fear, or traced in characters of blaod." In like manner the Diet assembled in Vienna to inaugurate the new epoch has occu pied as precarious a position in regard both to the people and to the SOVEREIGN as the last States-General or the first Constituent Assembly. Do we look for further marks of similarity ? The bzead-riots of ninety-t& We have bad them re peated by the unemployed Viennese artizans. The mounting of they,i-colour at the instigation of DES- Mo'3* INs ? We have had the same incident renewed though without the interposition of a second young enthusiast and a German Vieux Cordeliers. The sacking awl burning of the Bastile ? We have had it imitated, in tile seizure and destruction of the Arsenal. The murder of its unfortunate Go verner? We have witnessed a murder as hide , ous and diabolical in the recent assassination of the wretched Count LA '-',IBERG. The devilish cruelties aflicted on the Princess DR I_4 AMBALLE ? We have seen cruelties as appalling and iafamous perpetrated on the person of the miserable Count LATOVR. The flight to Varrennes ? -It has been fol lowed as unsuccessfully by the flight to Innspruck ; only that the EMPEROR, after negotiating with the Viennese, and returning to the Imperial Castle of Schonbrunn, has again fled from the principal city of his empire, condeeted by an escort of five thousand soldiers on the road to Linz. The particulars of the last awful catastrophe which has befallen the dynasty of Hapsburg-Lorsaine are characteristic not only of the pkreoxysm of a revolution, but of the fate which inevitably awaits a despotism. The recent occur rences in Hungary have only hastened a day which must ultimately have arrived. The secret corres pcindence between the Court and the Ban of Croatia has, on its revelation, excited a frenzy as terrible as that which followed the discovered complicity of the armed refugees and the ill•advised MARIE ANTOI• NUM The appointment 'Orrne intriguing JELL 4.- CHICH to the rank of Civil and Military Governor of Hungary infuriated the population to a state of wrath such as defied all further restraint. It was an appointment as insane in its defiance of public opinion as the granting of the Ministerial portfolio of Justice to M. HEBERT almost immediately before the downfal of Louis PlimorE. It reuired no in spired tongue to announce to the multitude that the virus of absolutism had not been cleansed from the blood of the Government, but that, on the contrary, that virus lurked there, gathering together its latent influences, and preparing to assert its old predomi nance as soon as an opportunity was discoverable. Vienna saw as clearly as Paris did in 1791 that royalty only assumed the mask of generosity to enable it to tarry in safety until the arrival of that moment so long hoped fur, the moment of royal retri • bution. The consequences of all this lamentable blundering have been tremendous. At a signal more significant than the banquet of February the people rose on Friday, the sixth of this present October• They rose—not as insurgents, not as rebels, not as marauders, but as revolutionists. Their signal was the departure of the troops from the capital as auxiliaries to the Croatian army of JELLACIIICH—that army which had been organized to tread out the fire of freedom under the iron heel of war in the hot and melancholy ashes of the Hungarian nationality. Instead of allow ing the soldiers to proceed to the railway with out obstruction, the National Guard of the suburb of Gumpendorf resolved to deprive the Ban of Croatia (now the Governor of Hungary) of that assistance. A barricade was thrown up close to the Tabor Bridge on the highway, leading to Ganserndorf; and there, in the midst of enthusiasm, the Grenadiers fraternized. with the Academical Legion and the National Guard from Hundsthurm. Possessing, as they now did, a great numerical force, as well as the fervour of successful revolutionists, it- is not -surpris ing that they routed the Nassau troops after a brief encounter, killing and wounding a very considerable number of their opponents, and shooting the General BREDY, the commanding officer. After the conflict on the road to Ganserndorf, there was a lull, but a lull as treacherous as the lull before a tempest. An accident as deplorable as that which occurred before the Hotel des Capucins, in February, awoke the storm of the population, and brought at once to its height a revolution which might other wise have been procrastinated. A few shots were exchanged between two detachments of the National Guards—the one fighting for the EMPEROR, the other for the people—and the consequence was, that a desperate battle soon began to rage in the Stephans Plata. Those who were in favour of the Govern ment were driven into the Cathedral of St. Stephen's, and were massacred on the floor of the sacred edifice —the colonel of the regiment being butchered upon the steps of the high altar. Then it was, that, mad dened by the triumph of their arms, the rabble re sorted to deeds of atrocity, such as are happily seldom paralleled, bombarded the garrison of the arsenal, and dragging forth the unfortunate Minister of War, COMA LATOUR, from his official residence, assas sinated him with a ferocity as brutal as that cf savages, and as fiendish as that which we might attri bute to demons. He was kicked and beaten about the head with adzes and hammers, his throat was cut, his clothes and orders were torn from his body, and then, naked, mutilated, and still palpitating, he was hung up by the neck to a gibbet, where his limbs were riddled by musket balls, fired at him throughout the day by his murderers. The assassins of LATOUR seemed to emulate the assassins of LAMBERG, and the remorse of crime, as in most revolutions, descended upon the capital to sadden the hearts of the citizens in the hour of their victory. While the revolution of October was thus ripening in their vicinity, while civil war was raging in the streets, while the SOVEREIGN was flying in consterna tion from his palace, the supreme authority of the Austrian Diet asserted its existence, and decreed that the national representatives should sit in permanence. STROBACH was no longer recognised as their President. Fsaisz SMOLLE was elected on the instant as his successor, and the Diet resolved at once upon those measures which the emergency seemed to demand most imperatively, to the end that order might be restored, and the law rendered above all things trium phant. In the first gush of the intelligence, it is alto• , gether impossible to estimate the real importance of this revolution—this revolution, whose days were al most as cruel as those of September, and whose results are nearly as decisive as those of February. The observations of Mr. Sergeant ADAMS on the case of THOMAS BARKER, a respectable young man who was tried at the Middlesex sessions on Wednes day last, and acquitted on the ground of insanity, are well worthy of the attention of the humane arid charitable, of those possessed of means sufficient to enable them to mitigate the sufferings, and to provide for the pressing wants of their less fortunate fellow creatures. Of the many afflictions to which the human race are snbjected, there are none of a more painful and humiliating character than the mental alienations, the extraordinary delusions, by which men in the possession of health and strength, of intellectual and physical power, of all that can render life desirable, are so frequently seized and reduced in a moment beneath the level of humanity. Such persons, although their friends may be enabled to provide for them all the comforts and enjoyments of which in their fallen condition they are sus ceptible, must at once be considered objects of the deepest sympathy. How much more lament able, however, is the condition of those who are possessed of no private fortune, but who previous to the attack of the malady under which they may be suffering had earned for themselves a moderate com petence by their own honest industry. Such persons are indeed worthy of compassion. Unless their friends are in a position to undertake considerable expen diture, they must be classed as pauper lunatics, and deprived of the humble and moderate comforts which they had previously enjoyed. Their situation must be, in every respect, wretched, without any ray of light to enliven the gloom by which they are sur rounded, without one mitigating circumstance to lessen their misery. The immediate friends and rela tives of the sufferers are also:worthy of compassion. A man, perhaps earning by the most unceasing exer tions a sum barely sufficient to support his family with the strictest economy, no extraordinary ex penditure can be encountered, no extra sum sup plied to a single member. Under such circum stances, a wife or child, a father or a brother, may be seized with the mysterious malady. The expenses of is suitable asylum cannot be defrayed out of the humble profits that can be realised, and the entire family are compelled to submit to serious privations, unless they consent to see one of their body reduced to the degraded condition of a workhouse pauper. Surely something should be done to rescue innocent persons from so painful and humilating a condition. Surely those possessed of riches could find no more beneficial employment for their superfluous wealth than in alleviating the sufferings of such parties. In the case to which we have alluded, a report of which appeared in our impression of yesterday, the prisoner had maintained a highly respectabl e pos i t i on and held situations in some of the most respectabl e houses in the metropolis up to the period of his ill ness. About twelve months since, however, he had been attacked by small-pox, and from that time to the F e e _ sent had exhibited unequivocal indications of insanity to such an extent as to induce his medical attendant to recommend that he should be placed in an asylum for a short period. It was, however, thought that a long sea voyage night restore his health, and a pas sage was accordingly taken fur him to Sydney, where a brother was settled who would receive him. Another brother in this country had exhibited the most fraternal disposition towards him, but from having a large family, could not afford to pay the amount required for his main tenance in a private establishment. On the day when the act with which he was charged was committed he left his brother's house very lightly clad, end came to London by the North-Western Railway. He then wrote a letter at a neighbouring coffee-house, and took a carpet bag belonging to another gentleman. Medical and other evidence was submitted to the jury of various delusions under which he had la boured since his recovery from the small-pox, aral the jury at once acquitted him on the ground of in sanity. The Learned Sergeant, whose con• duct on the occasion was worthy of the highest approbation; spoke "of the dreadful THE N, SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived. want of an asylum for the reception of lunatics who were one or two degrees removed from pauperism ;" a want which, from the knowledge which he had him self personally acquired, was the source of more pain to, his, feelings than could be imagined; and , stated "!that in his judicial character many very pfissing cases had occurred where such an asylum would have conferred the greatest possible benefit ;" and after mentioning several cases of great hardship, as well to the unhappy victims themselves as to their innocent families, added, " It was a lamentable fact that, not withstanding this country abounded with institutions of almost every description, yet there was not one which applied to these unhappy cases. There was, it is true, Bethlehem Hospital, where there was a fund for incurable cases, but at that establish ment the patients were discharged every year, for if that were not the rule, the place would soon become an asylum. If all the cases which had come under his judicial notice were to be put into a calendar, they would constitute such a list as would at once prove how necessary it was that an institution of this description should be founded." We believe that it is only necessary to direct the public attention to the subject to have means adopted for supplying a remedy. Sergeant ADAMS is a trust worthy witness, whose great experience and position entitle him to the fullest credence. 'We hope that his statements will not be lost sight of, but that some steps may be speedily taken for the establishment of an asylum for those labouring under mental inca pacity, whose friends are unable to defray the ex penses incidental to their maintenance, and affording a reasonable prospect of a cure. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The proposition for issuing paper money on landed security, was on Wednesday rejected by the As sembly, by a majority of 578 to 210. Afterwards M. XAVIER DURRIEU brought forward a motion to the effect, that in n o case, not even during a state Cl siege, should the Government have the power of sus pending the publication of newspapers. This propo sition, which was warmly supported by M. VICTOR HUGO and M. SARRANS, was opposed by M. MARIE and M. SENARD, on the part of the Government, and, on a division, it was negatived by a majority of nine only, the numbers being for the motion 336, against it 345. This is, perhaps, the most severe blow that the Government has yet received, and some modification in the Ministry would ap pear inevitable. General CAVAIGNAC has, it is said, sent for General BEDEAU, to whom he has offered the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, which M. BASTIDE has held provisionally since June. MM. GOUDCHAUX and SENARD will also, it is said, retire, and MM. DUFAURE and VIVIEN are spoken of as their successors. THOUARD, who on Tuesday attacked M. BAs- TIDE in the Salle des pas Perdus, spat in his face, and threatened to poignard him, has been committed to the Conciergerie, to take his trial for having assaulted a representative within the precincts of the Palace of the National Assembly, and for having endeavoured to compass the death of a Minister. GOIIDCHAUX, the Minister of Finance, has ad dressed the following letter to the Reforrne : " Your number of to-day contains an article which I cannot allow to pass unanswered. You ask whe ther it is true that, before the elections for the National Assembly, and with the object of obtaining the votes of the adherents of the Central Society of the Banque Immobiliere, I promised to propose the creation of bons hypathecaires. I formally reject this charge. I did not in any way intrigue to obtain the votes which carried me into the National Assembly, and if I sought them it was not at the price of the abandonment of an opinion which with me has never varied. I have never avoided a single opportunity of making it known. On the 16th June, that is to say, from the first day that I entered the tribune, I de• Glared myself the enemy to all paper money, under whatever denomination it might be. Since that day, on several occasions, I have repeated that declara tion. An opportunity is about to present itself, and. I shall avail myself of it to express once more on this subject the convictions which I have felt all my life." M. PROUDEON has distributed at the Assembly an amendment conceived in the following terms a--- " In case the universal suffrage should not give an absolute majority to one of the candidates for the Presidency of the Republic, the definitive nomination shall be made by the people of Paris." M. JULES PARE, the writer of the celebrated circulars of M. LEDRU RoLLIN, is at present suffering from brain fever of an alarming character. The intelligence of the success of the insurgents at Vienna has excited a great sensation in Paris. The Government immediately dispatched General REY to the army of the Alps, with orders that the army should hold itself in readiness to act at a moment's notice. The intelligence from Vienna was brought by M. BERNARD, the Secretary to the Austrian Embassy. There are various rumours as to Ministerial modi fications. The negotiation with M. DCFAERE has failed, and General BEDRA.O refuses to take office. M. TRIERS has been actively intriguing to prevent the formation of any Ministry, and it is said that General CAVAIGNAC has determined to resign, in which case M. ARMAND MARRAST will, it is conjec , tured, be appointed President of the Council. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, OCT. 12. THREE O'CLOCK.—The accounts from Vienna created considerable sensatiou at the Bourse to-day; and the Rentes opened considerably lower than yesterday's closing prices. Foreign politics have, however, not so much influence on the French funds as domestic affairs; and as it is believed that the Moderate party is likely to come to an understanding with the Government, both Rentes and Railway Shares continued steady during the day.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Oct 12. Boulogne and Amiens, s%—Northern of France, 61i — Orleans and Bordeaux, —Tours and Nantes, 1%. The Espana says; "According to the communi cations received yesterday, it results that a conspiracy has been discovered at Barcelona, in which two ex treme parties appear amalgamated. Amongst the persons arrested is a chief of the army. " The active Captain-General had proceeded throughout with the greatest energy, adopting effi cacious measures to render powerless the enemies of tranquillity and public order. Extraordinary precau tions had been taken at the Castle of Monjuich,at the citadel, and at the other forts, although, as the conspi racy was discovered in time and the greater part of the conspirators have been arrested, there was n o cause for the slightest fear. Patrols were passi ng both within and without the place during the day." The Fomento of Barcelona, of the 3d, states that the conspiracy was got up in concert with the clubs (i. e., emigrant clubs) of Perpignan and Thoulouse, and that the parties received orders both from CABRERA and AMETTLER. It says the plan was to deliver over s.veral fortresses in Catalonia to CABRERA ) and to get hold of Montjuich, which having been effected, a heavy contribution was to be levied on the city of Barcelona, under threat of bombardment. It does not state who were the par ties arrested in consequence of the discovery of this plot, but days that the measures of the authorities were taken in secret. Four battalions of ( - 2aodoret were Wrought to narcelona, and many persons were arrested, which was d one so qu i e tly that the public in gener a l k new nothing of u had was going on, but flocked i n grea t num b ers to ,the year l y f est i va l o f Sarria on the lst and 2d, aS usual. The principal arrests must have been made on the night of the Ist. The Fomento adds that three battalions of infantry had left Barcelona, their presence there not being necessary. Letters from Algesiras and the Cadiz papers speak of a conspiracy having been discovered there, of which the Moderado account is, that it was intended to get ppssession at first of a sum of public money amount ing to 9,000 or 10,000 dollars, which was coming LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 184 k escorted by a detachment of the Ceuta Regiment, some of whom had been gained over—to set at liberty 200 political prisoners who were in the Tolomo, not far from Algesiras, the soldiers that guarded them being in accord with the insurgents — to assassinate the military commander, General LAUA, on his way to Tarifa—and to move off to the Serrania de Ronda, where a favourable reception was counted on, and also on the co-operation of 25 carabineers stationed there. Colonel GUERREA is said, by the Comercio of Cadiz, to have directed the plan from Gibraltar ; and he, with a person named GARVALIIO and a Colonel ANDIA, were to have been at the head of it. A letter from Valencia, in the Clamor, dated the 2d instant, speaks of one hundred and thirty Car lists having entered Moncada the previous night, and carried off some money and a prisoner. Moncada is only one league from Valentia. The Carlists had entered Segorbe, without any opposition on the part of the inhabitants, and carried off twenty-five uni forms of the civil guard from that place.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. INSURRECTION AT VIENNA, AND FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR. The discovery of the intrigues of the Camarilla with JELLACHICH—the advance of the latter into Hungary, and his appointment as Lord-Lieutenant to restore the despotic sway of the EMPEROR in that country—the horrible excesses committed by the semi barbarian Croatian troops whom the Emperor of AUSTRIA has taken into his pay—the intrigues which' it is known the Camarilla has been carrying on with the Sclavonian chiefs, in order to obtain the aid of the Sclaves in repressing the spirit of liberty in Ger many, have produced the effects which every one must have anticipated as the results of intrigues so audaci ously, and yet at the same time so clumsily con ducted. In vain does the fowler set his snare in sight of the bird, and the Viennese plainly perceived that if JELLACHICa were permitted to conquer the Hungarians there would be an end of liberty in Vienna. With JEL- Lecarcu and his Croatians advancing from Pesth, with WINDESGRATZ advancing from Prague, and RADETZKY from Italy, not only would the recently dear-bought liberties of Vienna be annihilated, but all who had endeavoured to secure those liberties would inevitably fall victims to the vengeance of the despot. It is not at all surprising, therefore, that the, appointment of JELLACHICH to the government of Hungary, and the attempt to forward to him rein forcements of troops from Vienna should have pro— duced an insurrection in that city of a more serious character than any of which it has yet been the, theatre. The fight was long and murderous, but at, length the people were victorious. We lament to add. that they sullied their victory by the perpetrations of a horrible murder. Count LATOUR, the Minister at War (the friend and protector of JELLACHICH), and! who had been moving heaven and earth to send himl reinforcements, was dragged from his house, stabbed; in several parts of his body, dispatched by a blow from a sledge hammer, and then his lifeless body was sus , pended from a gibbet for some hours. The EMPEROR has fled in the direction of Lintz, and Vienna is at this moment in the hands of the Diet. The following are the details of the insurrection. On the 6th October, 1 the German Grenadier Guards were ordered to march and join the expedition against the Hungarians. They communicated with the corps of National Guards of the suburb of Gumpendorf, in which their barracks were situate, and with the Academical Legion, from both of which they received a promise that measures would be taken to prevent their de parture. The National Guards: from the Hundsthurm as sembled at six o'clock on the morning of the 6th at the terminus of the Northern Railroad, from which they removed the rails, for the purpose of preventing the departure of the Grenadiers. The latter arrived soon after, and the commanding officer, seeing that the removal of his troops by rail was impossible, gave orders for their proceeding on foot to Gansern dorf, a station on the line, from whence he hoped it would be possible to effect their conveyance by the railroad. But this plan too was resisted by the National Guards, the numbers of which increased with every minute. A barricade effectually stopped the march of the regiments near the Tabor bridge. They were ordered by their officer to storm this bar ricade. Instead of doing so they fraternized with the National Guard, who destroyed the bridge, and thus prevented the cuirassiers from advancing. The insurgents were reinforced by the Academic Legion, when the Nassau Infantry arrived with some pieces of artillery, and summoned the insurgents to surrender. The insurgents advanced and seized four pieces of artillery and a powder-waggon, without op position. The Nassau Infantry then fired three vollies at the insurgents, who advanced from the bar ricades, charged the Nassau Infantry, and put them to flight, killing their Commander-General REEDY. At one o'clock a party of the insurgent National Guards were attacked on the Stephens Platz by a party of loyal National Guards, who stood by the C s a h t h o r e t d r al fight of t h s e t. latter step h Ns e ' n e , r s e , f G or o c v e e d rn t m o e r n e t t , fre bu i t n a to fte t r he a the doors of which they then barricaded from within. leonte But the insurgents batt ere d d own th e d oo r s , entered th a e d church,r w as killed and dislodged h yery th s e t i eps their antagonists, whose e One of the city gates, the Burgthor, still remained in possession of the Government troops. Three cow • panies of sappers and miners, with four guns, en. tered this gate at three o'clock in the afternoon. They were at once attacked and totally routed, in spite of the grape and canister which they fired from their pieces. Many of them were captured, disarmed, and confined in the University buildings. Formid able barricades were constructed while this fight was going on. The old fortifications of the city were occupied by the artillery of the National Guards. At six o'clock in the evening the insurgents, who were now ;victorious upon all points, attacked and carried the War- office, seized the cannon and arms deposited in that building, ;and captured the Minister of War. Count LATouR. The wretched man was conducted into the street, and then he was murdered with blows from axes and sledge hammers. The people tore the clothes and orders from the bleeding body, and hung the naked corpse on a gibbet. Count LATOUR'S papers were seized and brought to the University. At half-past six in the evening the Arsenal was the only place which remained in possession of the partizans of the EMPEROR. The people surrounded the Arsenal, and demanded from the garrison they should give up the arms which it contained. They 'refused. A combat commenced, in the course of which the garrison swept the Renngasse with grape 'and canister, and killed and disabled a great number Unsuccessful attempt to gain p ossession of the build of the insurgents, whose fury increased after each ing. The committee of students sent several flags of truce, summoning the garrison to surrender, but the bearers were shot dead on the sp ot. The p eo p le then commenced bombarding the Arsenal, and the firing continued all the night through, till six o'clock on the morning of the 7th, when the g arr i son Bu r, rendered. The victory of the people was then complete. Those among them who had been previously unarmed procured arms from the capture of the Arsenal. finding their sup porters defeated on every point , left Vienna, escorted At four_ mpoz'cßloottckanidn htilsiefaamfteilryn,oon of this eventful day the P. by 600 cavalry. They took the road towards Lintz. The Diet was sitting the whole time t h e insurrec tion lasted. The following is a summary of their proceedings " Eleven o'clock, A.M. " Several Members of the Left assemble, and send an address to the President, M. Strobach, asking him to summon the Members of the House, in order that the effusion of blood might be stopped. The Presi dent refuses to comply with their request. He does not think that the matter is sufficiently important. Upon this the Diet assembles without him, constitutes itself en permanence, and elects another President in t►.e perAon of M. Smolkai " Seven o'clock r.m. " An Executive Committee, consisting of Members of the Left, is appointed. N. Lohner moves an ad dress to the Emperor, demanding the formation of a new and popular Cabinet with Messrs. Dobhloff and Hornsborstel in it; the removal of Baron Jellachich from his governorship of Hungary ; the revocation of the last proclamation against the Hungarians, and an amnesty for those implicated in the riots of that day. The House accepts the motion, and sends a deputation to the Emperor. " Half-past Seven F.M. " Resolved, to appoint M. Scherzer Provisional Commander-in. Chief of the National Guards of Vienna and the suburbs. Resolved, to put a stop to the combat against the garrison of the arsenal. Re solved, to instruct the military commander, Count Auersperg, to prevent the interference of the military. " Eight o'clock. " Resolved, with acclamation, to serve out fresh ammunition to the Academical Legion. " Nine o'clock. " Resolved, to instruct the directors of the Southern Railway that they will not be allowed to convey troops to Vienna. " Half-past Eleven o'clock. " The deputation returns.

" The arsenal is reported to be on fire. Resolved to entreat - the people to desist from the combat. " 3 o'clock A.M. " Resolved, to inform Count Auersperg that it was his duty not to obey any commands but those of the Diet." " SITTING OF THE DIET OF OCTOBER 7. " Resolved—That the new Provisional Committee shall at once enter upon its functions. 6 ' 10 o'clock A.M. "Information received of the Emperor's flight from his Castle at Schonbrunn. The House appoints a Committee to inquire into the truth of this state ment." * after 11 A.M. M. Kasus, one of the Ministry, ascended the tribune, and said— "An hour back one of the guards of the Palace handed me a sealed letter, which contained a mani festo from the Emperor, in nearly the following language :—' I have done everything that a Sovereign could to do good; I have renounced the absolute power left me by my ancestors. In the month of May I was forced to quit the palace of my fathers, and afterwards I came back without any other guarantee than my confidence in my people. A small fraction, strong from its boldness, has urged things to the farthest extremity. Pillage and murder reign in Vienna, and ;the Minister of War has been killed. I have confidence in God and my right; and I quit the neighbourhood of my capital to find means to afford assistance to my oppressed people. Let those who love Austria and her liberty rally round the Emperor.' M. Kraus added, that a note from the Emperor invited him to countersign the manifesto, but that he had declined, preferring to refer the ratter to the wisdom of the Chamber.—M. Bribil proposed to name a Committee (two members for each province) to decide on the manifesto. The Committee was at once nominated. M. Borosch proposed, in the name of the Committee, that M. Kraus should enter the Ministry. This was ,adopted unanimously. The Committee decided :-1. That the Ministers Hornbosk, Dobhloff, and Kraus should treat all affairs, and make propositions to his Majesty to complete the Ministry. 2. That a proclamation should be addressed to the people, and a memorial sent to his Majesty on the events of the day before. This was adopted. The President read a telegraphic dispatch, in which it was announced that 1,200 workmen of the neighbourhood wished to arrive. The committee proposed not to permit them. The following proclamations nave been issued by the Diet : " The Diet, informed of the painful events which have fallen on this capital, has assembled, and ad dresses itself with confidence, to the population of Vienna, in order that it may second it in the accom plishment of so difficult a task. The Diet, in ex pressing its deep regret at a barbarous act which has caused the violent death of the Minister Latour, ex presses the firm hope and resolution that from this time the law alone will reign. The Diet has declared itself en pervanence; it w ill adopt all the measures required to secure order, and the security and liberty of the citizens, and will be careful to assure the full and entire execution of its resolutions. It will address itself at the same time to the Monarch to recommend him to remove from his councils Ministers who do not possess the confidence of the country, and to re place the present Ministry by a national one. The Diet places the safety of the city of Vienna, its own inviolability and that of the throne, and consequently the prosperity of the monarchy, under the protection of the National Guard of Vienna. (Signed) " FRANCOIS SMOLKE, Vice-President. " In the name of the Diet." " The Minister of the Interior has just addressed a notice to the National Guard to announce to it that the Deputy Scherzeo is appointed Commandant of the National Guard of Vienna and the neighbour• hood, and expressing a hope that the National Guards will obey him and maintain public order. "The Diet announces that it is at this moment taking measures to remove the troops from the city, and to obtain a general amnesty in favour of all persons, military or civil, connected with all that has taken place up to this time. (Signed) " F. SMOLKE." " NOTICE.—The Diet has resolved to invite his Majesty to form a national Ministry, enjoying the confidence of the people, in which shall be included the Ministers Hornbosk and Dobhloff, and that as an indispensable condition of the re establishment of order, the Diet has, at the same time, expressed the wish to his Majesty that the manifesto of the 3d instant, which appoints Baron Jellachich Royal Com missioner of Hungary should bo withdrawn, and that a general amnesty should be granted to every person, either civil or military, for all that has taken place up to this day. In consequence of this his ll Majesty forma has nationalgive n ana Ministry,ss rance f t o whichth Diet e that above named Ministers shall form a part ; adding that he will concert with the new Ministry all the measures necessaryfor x welfareethperesseda hope of the thatm monarchs; the peoplehy;an and his Majesty has of Vienna will energetically contribute to the establish ment of social order. (Signed) " F. SMOLKE. " The Minister of the Interior announces that the Ministry has resolved to energetically maintain tran quillity and legal order, and invites the National Guards who desire to second it to adopt white scarfs as a distinguishing mark. The Ministry has seen with the most profound grief National Guards and citizens fight against:each other without any plausible reason. " The Diet has adopted the following resolution : The directors of the Northern Railroad shall re ceive orders not to admit any soldiers in the trains. This resolution shall be transmitted to 011mut2 and to Brunn.' (Signed) " F. SMOLKE." The following from the Zeitungs Halle, is the latest from Vienna : " A terrible event has occurred on the square of St. Stephen. An attempt being made to sound the tocsin, the National Guards (black and yellow) op posed it. Firing ensued, and a Captain and several National Guards were killed. Three o'clock—Grape shot has been fired; a shot has just entered the house in which lam writing. The pioneers have made an attack on the Hof and Graben, and been repulsed by the National Guard, who captured twelve pieces of cannon. Barricades are being erected on every point. The National Guard fights with heroism. There are a great number of killed and wounded. Half-past Five—The Minister of War, although surrounded by a deputation of the Diet, with the Vice-President Smolke at its head, has been massacred and hung up to a lamp-post. Seven o'clock—The Arsenal is attacked ; a dreadful cannonade is going on. Four o'clock, morning cf the 7th—The cannonade lasted the whole night. The Arsenal has just capitulated." The same journal adds,:— " The garrison surrendered under the condition that the Arsenal should be occupied:by the students and the National Guard. The people were imme diately armed. the Diet has named a commission to act as executive power,. it is composed in general of the members of the Left. Last evening, at eight o'clock, the Diet determined to send fresh ammuni tion to the legion. At midnight it was announced that the Arsenal was on fire. At ten o'clock it was declared that the Emperor had quitted the palace of Scboanbrunn ; at half-past ten the Minister Kraus announced that the Emperor in departing had left behind him a proclamation, in which he says that he quits Vienna on account of its tendency to revolt, and that he would adopt in another spot the necessary measures. M. Kraus refused to countersign it, de claring it appeared to him unconstitutional. The Diet has again assumed the constituent and executive power, and has decided to send commissioners into the provinces to carry there that resolution. All Vienna was armed, but, with the exception of some agitation, everything was quiet. The Bourse was closed on the 6th and 7th." The Breslau Gazette publishes the following : ____ " BRESLAU, OCT. 7., TEN AT .v 4 evening train had brought neither passengers nor mails from Vienna. All the intelligence we have re ceived from Vienna consists in an Extract from the private letter of a merchant at itatibor, received, if we mistake not, from a postmaster at Agram or Ga zendorf. We have not Be rn a copy of this letter, but state what we have heard. " Yesterday, in the afternoon, different battalions were to leave Vienna for Ilangary. The people endeavoured to prevent them, and destroyed the bridges. A detachment of pioneers and six guns were sent to effect and protect the passage of the troops. Three of these guns were seized by the people after a portion of the regiment Deutsehmeister had joined the people. The rails as far as Gazendorf were torn up. The Minister of War, Latour, was sought for by the mob for a long time in vain, but at last he was discovered in his own house, disguised, and attempting to escape. He is reported to have received the blow of an axe on the back of the head, and then to have been dragged out and hanged. in the same manner a General Breda is reported to have been shot (according to an Austrian officer, there is no General of this name in the army). The military is said to have been driven out of the town, and to have assembled on the Glacis before the Schot tenthor." The Silesian Gazette publishes the following letter, dated Ratibor, October 7 : "The train from Vienna has not arrived, the rails having been taken up as far as Wagram. From a letter which a messenger succeeded in carrying across the Danube at great risk I learn the following : Vienna is in open insurrection since yesterday afternoon at two F.M. The origin of it was the departure of troops to join Jellachich, and which was opposed by the National Guards. A battle ensued between the Black-and Gold party and the democrats; National Guards fought against Natioral Guards, and a portion of the regiment Peutschmeister joined the democratic party. Count Latour, who was compelled to fly from his official to his private residence, was cut down, hewn to pieces, and then hanged upon a lantern by the men on duty at the principal guard house. Colonel Klein, who commanded the pioneers at one of the bridges, was shot. Thousands of peasants, armed with guns and scythes, are pouring into the faubourgs. No one knows what has become of the Emperor.' " HUNGARY. An extra supplement of the Wiener Zeitung says that an anti-Magyar movement has taken place in Transylvania. The conscription commanded by the Hungarian Ministry for the formation of fifteen new Landwher battalions, has led to bloody scenes in Transylvania. In Lunat the people rose en masse, and opposed the Government officers; the military were called out and joined by the National Guard, which tended still more to exasperate the people, who began pelting the military with stones, which gave rise to a discharge from them, whereby forty of the peasants were wounded and thirteen killed. The General in command has, therefore, ordered that no further attempts at conscription shall be made for the present, as it is vehemently protested against by all the inhabitants of Saxony. PRUSSI A. The 15th of October is the birthday of the KING, and on that day his MAJESTY will proclaim an amnesty for all political offences committed since the revolution. The Poles of Posen will be included in this amnesty. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, OCT. 9.—The new constitution of the kingdom of the Netherlands has been voted by the Second Chamber of the States General in double number, by a majority of three-fourths of the votes. The First Chamber is convoked for today to ratify the vote given by the Extraordinary Legislature. This ratification of the new constitution in fact has been already attained, since that legislative body by anterior vote bad approved all the projects of law. Our new social and political state now wants only the royal sanction to have the force of fundamental law. The ardent and general solicitude which the King manifests in all that can consolidate the well being and prosperity of the country is a sure guarantee that we shall not have to wait long for the royal sanction. THE HAGUE, OCT. 10.—The two new members of the First Chamber, Messrs. Bylant and Serenstern, took their oaths to-day at the hands of the King. At ,half-past one yesterday the Ministers assembled in council at the Home Department. The meeting lasted till three o'clock. Immediately after the Mi nisters of the Interior of Foreign Affairs, and of War repaired to the First Chamber, which, having information that the Second Chamber had in double number adopted the twelve projects of law, was con voked for to-day to deliberate in sections. The deliberations will be short, for, as we have already stated, these projects have been approved be forehand by this legislative body. It is expected that the legislative session of 1847 and 1848 will close in the course of this week. Conformably to what is prescribed by the new fundamental law, and especially by Art. 1 of the Provisional Electoral Itrgulatiuns, the opening of the legislative session will commence on Monday, the 16th Oct. This chamber will occupy itself with the formation of its bureaux, the nomination of candi dates for the Presidency, and other ordinary business, after which it will adjourn. The Chambers elected according to the new con stitution will probably assemble in the month of December, when the new legislative session and the new Chambers will be dissolved by law. His Royal Highness PRINCE HENRY, of the Nether lands, set out this morning for Nieuwe Diep, to in spect the vessels which are to transport the troops to Batavia. We hear from Harderwyk that detachments of military, who have voluntarily taken service in the colonial army, continue to arrive there from all the provinces in the kingdom. The number already amounts to 12,000 men. On Friday 540 embarked here from Nieuwe Diep. M. VON ALPHEN, Referendary of the Colonial De partment, who came from Batavia last March, has just arrived in this city, on his way back to India. His Majesty the Kum intends opening the sitting of the Chambers in person on Monday. Letters and papers have been received from Batavia, but they contain no intelligence of importance.— Dutch papers, Oct. 11. WALLACHIA. At Blasendorf great excesses have taken place among the Wallachians, or, as they now call them selves, the Romani. An insurrectionary meeting was held, at which they insisted that all political prisoners should be liberated, that the conscription should be suspended, and that the present meeting should be declared legal. Expresses were sent off by the Chapter for a supply of the military, and Baron VAT himself came to Blasendorf and addressed the mob in Hungarian. He said that he had full powers to redeem the political prisoners, that the conscription had already virtually ceased, but that as for the legality of this popular meeting he -must obtain higher authority before he could declare it legal. The meeting, which consisted of from 8,000 to 10,000 men, appeared satisfied, and were about to disperse, when news was brought that the authorities not only refused to obey the Commander•in-Chief, Baron VAT, or to release the prisoners, but were re solved to shoot bluiEs, one of the State prisoners, at once. The commandant of the fortress immediately interfered; and MIICES was instantly carried to the Cackler territory. This caused fresh commotions, and the greatest apprehensions are entertained for the peace of the country. The official Wiener Zeitung of the 6th and 7th says nothing whatever of the revolution. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 2G.—The following Imperial letter has been addressed to the Grand Duke MICIAEL, as chief of the military colleges : "Your Imperial Highness—The extraordinary num ber of the students from the military colleges, who joined the ranks of officers, by which the army was furnished with able leaders at a time of unexpected need, led to the apprehension that the loss of the students who had joined the camp, and who had been especially accus tomed to front service, would be greatly felt in the front department of these institutions. It was there fore the more satisfactory to me to observe the ad mirable order and military bearing of this de partment of the military institution during the whole of their stay at Peterhof. A daily witness of the untiring exertions and enlightened policy by which your pupils were preserved from the cholera while it was raging in the capital and its environs, I was deeply moved, and recognised the evident blessing of God on your Imperial Highness's exer tions. In the whole establishment only one pupil was seized with the cholera, and he recovered, and I was very much gratified to observe that not only the chiefs under your immediate orders but all the officers without exception, animated by the noble example of your Imperial Highness, zealously dis. charged their sacred duties of teachers and in. structors. " The thankful prayers of the parents whose sons were preserved to them by your exertions, are your high rewards. I rejoice in having this opportunity of expressing to your Imperial Highness my hearty thanks and grateful acknowledgments. t " lirassnoze Szelo, August 27, 1848. (Signed) " - NICHOLAS." Wiener Zeitung, Oct. 7. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND VENICE. The Risorgimento of Turin, of October 6, says.— "We received the following communication, printed at Brescia by the provincial delegates, and addressed to the advocate Labus, who himself received it from General INlttzzuchelli : His Imperial Majesty, wishing to benefit the inhabitants of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom, even to the detriment of his own states, has accepted the Anglo-French mediation on the following bases:-1. Liberty of the press. 2. National Guard. 3. National functionaries. 4. Na tional troops. 5. Evacuation of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom by all the soldiers who are not Italians. 6. Delivery of fortresses. 7. Separate administration, with a viceroy, to be chosen from amongst the two sons of the Archduke Reguier, Ernest and Sigismund ; an annual contribution of twenty-five millions ; residence of the viceroy five months at Milan and six at Venice. 8. A visit each year from his Majesty. 9. In case of foreign in vasion, aid of 100,000 men ; but, reciprocally, the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom should engage to fur?. nish an armed contingent to the monarchy, should it be menaced." SICILY. Advices from Sicily state that a Sicilian ship, loaded with ammunition, was saved from being captured by a Neapolitan vessel by the British and French forces, ho have also prevented the landing of the reinforce meats sent by the King of NAPLES to Filangin. PIEDMON T. CHOZANOWSKY ' the well-known Polish General, has been named by CHARLES ALBERT Chief of the General Staff of the army. NAPLES. Letters from Naples of the 4th inst. state that the ultimatum of England and France had not arrived, but that the status quo was maintained in Naples and Sicily. The quarantine of seven and fourteen days lately imposed on vessels from Palermo am\ Malta, and which was strongly suspected to have had only a political object, has been removed in consequence of the remonstrances of the British Admiral. MARLBRU-STREET—(THIS DAY). Frederick Herbert, who was formerly a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and who has for some time been vic timising the public under the assumed names of Captain Welsh, Captain Howard, Wm. Corney, Henry Pettin gale, was brought up f or fi na l exam i na ti on , c h arge d with defrauding several tradesmen out of property to a large amount, by means of spurious cheques. Mr. John L2adbetter, ornithologist, 19, Brewer street, Golden -square, said, on the 21st of July last, the prisoner came into his shop, and said he had been re commended to him by several persons in the trade as the most likely person to get the skins of humming birds from. Witness said ho was unwell, and wished the defendant to defer his call till another day. The prisoner replied that he ,was going out of town imme diately, and would not detain witness ten minutes. Wit ness then !showed him a quantity of skins, and the pri soner selected sixteen, which came to 6L Witness packed them up in a box produced, and handed it to the prisoner. The prisoner then put his hand in his pocket, and said he had not got sufficient cash, but he would give witness a cheque upon his bankers. He then wrote out a cheque for 61, payable at Messrs. Childs, Temple-bar, and signed his name Frederick Howard. Witness presented tke cheque the next day, and was in formed that no such person kept an account there. Mr. John Evans, a dealer in curiosities, No, 281, High Holborn, proved purchasing several of the skins of the prisoner, for which he paid him IL 17s. 6d. The skins produced are a portion of those he purchased of the prisoner. Several other cases of a similar nature having been proved, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mary and Elizabeth Binchley alias Broad, and Emma Jones and Mary Anne Allen, who had acted as their servants, were charged with having obtained, under false pretences, from various tradesmen in the metro polis, quantities of drapery and other goods to an im mense amount. John Messent stated that on Monday, the 25th ult., ft person called at the shop of his employer, Mr. Enoch Jones, linendraper, in Finsbury-terrace, and requested that a choice selection of family mourning might be sent immediately to the residence of the elder prisoner, Elizabeth, in Cavendish-street, New North-road, as her husband had just expired. Witness ac cordingly proceeded there with a quantity of Palmetta and Coburg cloths, crapes, and other articles, and was admitted by the girl Jones, who conducted him to a par- , lour, in which he found the elder prisoner and one of her daughters, who selected a portion of the goods and ordered two cloaks and two mantles to be made for them and sent home by the following Wednesday, as the , funeral of the deceased would take place the day after. On taking the latter articles to the house, he received a further order for a quantity of black ribbon and six pairs of kid gloves, which he afterwards delivered at the door to the prisoner Allen, who told him that the ladies were so oppresed with grief that they were unable to see him. A fourth order was afterwards executed for two boas and a muff, and also for four shawls two of which it was intimated would be selected for the Nov vents, and the other two returned. An invoice for the whole of the goods was sent with the last parcel, and witness was directed to call on the following Monday for the amount, viz., 231. Bs. Bd., but on reaching the place, at the time appointed, he found the house shut up. Mr. George Mattley, landlord of the house in Caven dish-street, stated that he let the premises at Mid summer last, to a venerable-looking gentleman, who said he was a retired shipbroker, and having heard ra few days since that his tenant was dead, he proceeded to the house to offer his condolence to the widow, and found that she and her family hadclandestinely removed. Sergeant Brannan, of the G idivision, deposed that he proceeded with other officers to a house in Park-roW, Pentonville, in search of the elder prisoner's son, whom they accidentally encountered in the street, and took him into custody upon another charge. He (witness) afterwards endeavoured to effect an entrance into the house, but after knocking repeatedly at the deor without being answered, he made his way through the passage of the next house, and procured a ladder, which he placed against the back window of a room on the first floor, at which the prisoners were standing. On reach' ing the window, the prisoner Jones pressed with her whole weight upon the sash to prevent his forcing it up► but he succeeded in raising it a sufficient height for the admission of his head, when she instantly seized him by the hair with one hand, whilst with the other she made the most strenuous efforts to strangle him by forcing the window upon his neck, and finding that ineffectual, she did her utmost to pitch him off the ladder; he, however , together with Sergeant Dubois, forced his way into the apartment, where were found several boxes, containing various articles of haberdashery, &c., about sixty pawn' broker's duplicates, a flash note of Bank of Elegance and numerous formal agreements for the occupation 01 houses, in various names, and in all parts of the we" tropolis. John Broad Hinckley, son of the elder prisoner. was charged with having fraudulently obtained a quantity 0f wearing apparel from Mr. Edwin Kenworthy, a tailor, to Shaftesbury-htreet, Horton. The prosecutor stated th.t on Tuesday week last, Pr i ‘ soner called upon him, and ordered a suit of mourning/ which he requested might be seat to his mother's house in Cavendish -street, in sufficient time to enable him t 0 wear it at his father's funeral. The order was dull executed, and the prisoner subsequently called upon him, and obtained a waistcoat and shooting jacket, th e , latter of which was sent him upon approbation. Witneo afterwards found that the family had absconded from 0 8 house they had occupied. Henry Roberts produced one of the coats which we ° pledged at his shop, a few hours after it had been ob, tained from the prosecutor. Several other cases were ready to be gone into again/ the prisoners, but the magistrate thou g ht th a t enoug'.: already had been proved against them to j us tif y him t o committing them for trial. At the suggestion of SO; geant Brannan they were ordered to be brought Pr again.
