There are intervals of rest in the gnat work of political advancement as there are in all the dif ferent and manifold labours of humanity. In this respect, if in no other, it is sufficiently manifest that the Popular Movement is not Perpetual Motion. A Parliamentary session, therefore, being of this abbreviated character and her MAJESTY'S advisers being looked upon as responsible for the accomplish ment of extraordinary measures of improvement within the compass of that legislative interval, it becomes essential, both in justice to the nation and to the Cabinet, that the few nights appropriated to the projects of Government should not be frittered away in frivolous or miscel laneous discussion. If we only call to recollection the enormous innovations expected—nay, required — of our Administration now-a-days ; if we remember that for the accomplishment of these innovations the Ministers have expressly pledged themselves to the empire, first in the inaugurative address of the SOVEREIGN, and subsequently in the political and financial statements of the Prime Minister; and if, with these considerations, we bear in mind the re markable but still notorious fact, that there are very seldom more than two-and-thirty nights in each session—namely, the Mondays and Fridays— reserved especially for the furtherance of the Ministerial propositions ; we shall see the neces sity of the position of the Government. Knowing that the energies of the Government are thus restricted in regard to the time allotted to their schemes of ad vancement, and knowing also that the profoundest attention must be bestowed upon those schemes be fore their acceptance can be at all recognised as advisable, it is clear that every assistance in the way of debate should, in common fairness, be awarded to the members of every existing Government. No matter what political party may be in the ascendant, no matter what may be the peculiar complexion of the Cabinet, no matter whether it be a Russell Cabinet, or a Peel Cabinet, or a Melbourne Cabinet, or a Lincoln Cabinet, or a Clarendon Cabi net, a Parliamentary session cannot by any possibility commence without a very comprehensive and intri cate programme stretching itself out before the ruling Administration, revealing erasures, interpolations, and propositions, in a state of rather embarrassing com plexity, almost all of which have to be settled before the period of prorogation, and for the settlement of which there are scarcely thirty-two intermittent evenings! _ Impressed with a singularly disagreeable con viction of the inconvenience resulting both to the nation and to the Government from the still further curtailment of the time allotted to himself and his colleagues--a curtailment aris ing in many instances from the thoughtless egotism of individual Members--Lord JOHN Rus SELL yesterday evening endeavoured to impress upon the House the necessity for allowing the whole of the Monday and Friday evenings to the measures iatroduced by the Cabinet. The necessity we will acknowledge is at all times great—it is becoming now rather imminent. The session of 1848 is ad vancing, and an enormous amount of business (enormous, when considered in relation to the number of Government nights still due,) re mains almost uncommenced on the hands of her MAJESTY'S advisers. The Easter vaca tion is rapidly approaching. Whitsuntide will soon follow. Then comes grouse-shooting and the prorogation. It is absolutely essential, therefore, that Parliament should bestir itself betimes, and that it should act with more than its usual circumspec tion. Lord Joss RUSSELES has not only insisted upon this exigency ; he has reduced the rather en tangled series of Ministerial measures to something like a consecutive catalogue, and has announced the order in which those different measures will pass before the consideration of the Legislature. On Monday the Income-tax Bill will be proceeded with and carried through immediately ; then will come the Jewish Disabilities Bill, which will be hurried through Committee and a third read ing as quickly as possible ; then the Health of Towns Bill, already carried through a second reading by the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests; then the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill, which may possibly be referred to a Select Committee, then the Relations with Rome Bill; afterwards the Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill; and ultimately a renewal of the Mutiny Bill— all requiring time—all requisite, and all to be accomplished on Mondays and Fridays. We doubt not that the precise posture of the Ministry being comprehended the House will be considerate. In the annals of chivalrous and devoted loyalty the name of Hungary is conspicuous. What the gallantry and enthusiasm of the Highlanders caused Scotland to be to the STUARTS—what the fervour of LA ROCHEJAQUELIN rendered La Vendee to the Bour bons—what the Asturias were to the fallen monarchy of Spain,—such was Hungary to the house of Austria—the last refuge from impending ruin, the forlorn hope, the only friend in adversity. When MARIA THERESA ascended the imperial throne, and found herself nominally the Empress of vast and powerful dominions, but in reality without a sup porter or a frien,!; rejected by her people, deserted by her allies, and threatened by powerful and am bitious enemies, in her destitution and despair she turned to her Hungarian subjects. She stood before them alone in her hour of necessity, as a Sovereign demanding their support, as a woman soliciting their protection. Her appeal was answered by one spon taneous burst of enthusiasm, which re-echoed through out the whole of Hungary. " ilforianzur pro rege noero 1" such was the answer of the Hungarians to her demand ; such was the fervent ejaculation which attested their chivalrous devotion, which resounded as a watchword throughout the land—such was the rappel that summoned the whole nation to arms —such was the battle-cry that animated them to the victory—" Moriamur pro rege nostro !"—an exclamation now become immortal, which will for ever commemorate the desperate gallantry and chivalrous devotion of the Hungarians. We are irresistibly reminded of this historic epi3ode by another interview which has recently taken place between the representatives of the Hungarian nation and the Imperial Sovereign of the House of Austria— an interview singularly different from the one of which it reminds us, yet equally, or, perhaps, more honourable to the Hungarian people, and equally favourable to the real interests of the Austrian Monarch. In this interview the language and de meanour of the Hungarians was manifestly imbued with that spirit of loyalty which is the peculiar characteristic of their nation ; nevertheless, it would seem that they have now adopted as their watchword the solemn and sublime " Mourir pour la Patrie," of the Girondins in place of their own more energetic, but perhaps less patriotic exclamation. A recent traveller along the banks of the Danube has published some interesting details of the mani festations of a dawning spirit of nationality among the Hungarians. He has told, for example, of their anxiety to revive the use of their native language, the beautiful Magyar, in place of the foreign tongue of Germany, and, moreover, of their occasionally affecting an ignorance of the correct idiom of the latter language, in order to manifest their genuine Magyar origin. Again, of their tending towards monopoly in their desire to "protect" native industry and encourage only Hungarian manufactures. These and numerous other incidents, however trivial in themselves, we regard as both' interesting and im portant, from their being evidences of some smoulder ing, sparks of Hungarian patriotism and indepen dence. Those sparks have now been fanned into a flame by the breezes recently wafted from the banks of the Seine. The half awakened spirit of Hungarian nationality has now been thoroughly aroused and incited into action by the shock of that social earthquake which, eommencing at Paris in the overthrow of Louis PHILIPPE'S throne, reverberated throughout the whole Continent, causing the most firmly established dynasties to totter, and rousing up the most inert people fro:n the long sleep of servility and supineness. Hungary hardly required such an incitement; Hungary instantaneously responded to the appeal, and in a manner perfectly in accordance with the loyal character for which it is remarkable, and with the independent position which it is ambi tious to assume. There was no tumult, no insurrec tion, no rising in arms, no clamour for a republic. The two Chambers of the Hungarian Diet assembled, and, after considering the necessities of the kingdom, decided on the course which it was essential for them to pursue. A declaration of their opinions was drawn up in the form of an address to the EM PEROR, which a deputation of the Diet proceeded to convey to Vienna, in order to present it to his MAJESTY. The morning after their arrival in Vienna, being all arrayed in their national costume, they formed into procession, and proceeded on foot to the Palace, being greeted on their way by the hearty acclamations of the Viennese. They were received by FERDINAND, and with a resolute boldnels almost amounting to audacity, save that it was tempered with a deferential and loyal respect, they set forth their demand. Premising that their allegiance to the sovereign house and their duty to the fatherland rendered an expression of their sentiments neces sary under present circumstances, they plunged at once in medias res, and declared that for three hundred years the development and even the very maintenance of their constitutional existence had been a continued struggle. " The cause of this," said they, " was that your MAJESTY and your royal predecessors did not pursue a constitutional course, and consequently could not be in harmony either with the independence of our government or with our constitutional existence. Hitherto this cause has impeded the development of our constitution ; and we are convinced that if the same course be pursued for the future, and the Royal government be not in har mony w ith our constitutionality, the throne of your MAJESTY, and the monarchy itself, which by virtue of the Pragmatic sanction, is linked to us, will be in• volved in inconceivable consequences, and our father land suffer the most severe detriment." After enumerating various contemplated alterations in the system of taxation, and other less im portant matters, they proceeded to declare the great object of their demand—a responsible national Government, of course subservient to the Imperial authority, but otherwise only controlled by the ma jority of the representatives; in fact, an executive Government almost entirely similar in character and constitution to our own. The following are the firm but respectful terms in which they set forth their desires : "We are convinced that the laws which shall be enacted for the development of our constitutional exist ence, as well as for the intellectual and material weal of our nation, can only obtain life and energy if for the administration of the same a national Government, independent of every foreign influence, be called into existence, which, in conformity with the constitutional basis, shall be a result of the majority of the people. Hence we regard the transformation of the present col legiate system of government into a responsible Hun garian Ministry as the main requirement and essential guarantee of all reform. " Thus and in this wise have we regarded our convo cation. "A perfect understanding with your Majesty to accomplish our great task is our resolve and purpose. This is expected from us by our fatherland, it is looked for by millions of pcople, and we are impelled to it by our instinctive and unshaken faithfulness and devotion to your Majesty's royal house. "Your Majesty, events are in the hands of God ; we implicitly rely on the protection of Divine Providence, yet we deem it an imperative duty to remind your Ma jesty of these things, in order that your faithful llunga• rian subjects may not be taken unawares by the porten tous future. For the immediate relief of the requisite measures of reform in a constitutional manner, we shall confidently look on the present sitting of this Diet; and we are apprehensive that the customary transactions connected with the Diet, and, in consequence of the collegiate system, the tedious negotiations with the Go vernment, should untowardly delay your Majesty's pa ternal views, and disappoint the just expectations of the country. "Therefore, with unshaken loyalty and firm confi dence, we beseech your Majesty to ponder upon the momentous circumstances of the case, and to delegate to the Diet plenipotentiary organs of your royal will, who, in conformity with the existing laws, shall be members of our high offives of state, namely, of the Royal Go vernment, as individuals who, possessing the confidence of your Majesty, shall he empowered constitutional organs of the Executive, and shall be personally respon sible for the execution of the laws in prescribed form." The EMPEROR acceded to this demand, and forth with nominated and appointed a responsible Hun garian Ministry, and the deputation, filled with joy at the happy result of their mission, returned to communicate the gratifying intelligence to their countrymen. Before leaving Vienna, however, they presented a gratulatory address to the Viennese, in forming them of the cor.cession which they had ob tained, and calling upon them to sympathise and rejoice with them. " Henceforth," say they " there will be a responsible Hungarian Ministry, chosen by the majority of the national representatives, who shall conduct the affairs of Hungary, under the control of a free press, and, through it, by enlight ened public opinion. Henceforth the bond which unites us all beneath the sway of our beloved Monarch is not that of general servitude, but that of universal freedom, which is now secured to all and for all permanently and irrevocably. Brethren, we shall be one in liberty, strong in union, mighty in co-operation ; every link will be cemented by mutual good-will, genuine confidence, and universal love to the highly-venerated house of our So vereign." So terminated the mission of the Hungarian deputation —a termination which must not only diffuse satisfaction throughout all Germany, but must tend to inspire hope and confidence to all those who, anxious to promote liberty and yet preserve peace, are now watching the revolutionary movement with mingled exultation and alarm. As we have already said, in the interview between the Austrian Monarch and the deputation, both parties acted in a most noble and honourable manner—the deputation in respect fully insisting upon their rights, the Monarch in frankly and cordially conceding them. When MARIA THERESA addressed herself to the Hungarians, it was to demand their co-operation in obtaining for her her rightful prerogative and privileges : in this recent scene the position of the actors was reverse', it was now, the Hungarian people who came to demand of the Austrian Monarch his co-operation in the obtain ing of their just prerogatives and privileges. But in both instances the result was similar. The same hearty concurrence which the Hungarians had for merly yielded to MARIA THERESA'S solicitations, their own now obtained from FERDINAND. And, as in the former case, their earnest loyalty won for the Hungarians an enduring celebrity, so, in this in stance, his cordial liberality must redound greatly to the credit of the Austrian EMPEROR. Madrid papers of the 18th have arrived. The Gaceta announces that the Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Paris had notified to the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Government that the recent changes which had taken place in France would not interrupt the amicable relations between the two countries. The advices from Naples in the Lege Italian of Saturday, announce the expulsion of the Jesuits from that city in accordance with the popular will. The indignation against the " holy" fathers was general and nothing but a promise to leave Naples saved them from summary vengeance. It was feared at Naples that Messina was still a prey to the flames of civil war. The Government, however, had sent a special messenger to stop the further effusion of blood by the proclamation of the new constitution. 1. 4 • ...lig/ • hl4 f ; 661 I ' 4 °‘ .'•-:. li:Illing 2itlf.

In the road of Reform, the legislators come periodically to a halting place, just as a traveller on any railway necessarily arrives now and then at a terminus.

C.--A report has been generally current that the eminent Parliamentary Counsel, Mr. Austin, did not intend again to practice before Par liamentary Committees ; such a report is, we are informed, totally without foundation. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, we understand, does not intend in future to practice before Election C )mmit tees, but purposes to confine himself solely to private business before Committees of the Houses of Parlia ment. • It was reported in well-informed circles yesterday that the arrival of Prince Metternich in this country might be hourly expected, as letters had been received from him in which he stated•his intention of seeking a refuge in England. BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—The trade of this town is now becoming most seriously depressed. Nearly all the foreign orders, with the exception of those from America, are being suspended, and a vast number of workmen are out of employment. EVENING, r MARCH 25, 1848. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. It appears from the National that the bishops, the Jesuits, and the old parti•pretre are intriguing to procure the return of members of their party to the National Assembly for the avowed purpose of bringing that body, and through its means, the whole French nation in subjection to a sacerdotal tyranny to be es- tablished under the mame of Republicanism. " They are," says the National, "about to form com mittees, clubs, over which they will inscribe in letters a foot long, ' Here we are revo lutionary; Vive la Republique,' but from which will be returned to the National Assembly as they hope, Monseigneur the Bishop of LANGRES, Monseigneur DE ST. BRIEUC, or some Monseigneur of that sort. " The republic, after these returns, will be soon caught. That which Louis PHILIPPE, assisted by M. GUIZOT, was unable to do,—they, these priests alone, will do ; they will dupe liberty ; and whilst we give to Europe liberty as it is enjoyed in France, we shall only have for ourselves Liberty as it is enjoyed in Belgium." The National then pro ceeds to warn them that the old clerical edifice rests upon rotten foundations, that it was propped up, by royalty, and must fall, and that if they are buried in its ruins they have none to thank but themselves. The article concludes by an energetic appeal to the young priests to emancipate themselves from the tyranny of the bishops, and to take care that all ecclesiastics returned to the Na tional Assembly shall be honest country curates. The acts of the commissioners of M. LEDRU ROLLI N are exciting great discontent throughout the country. M. Emanuel. ARAGO, the Commissioner at Lyons, has by a decree doubled the taxes paid by the people of Lyons. This decree appears in the Sentinelle de Lyons of the 21st, which thus goes on to describe the other arbitrary acts of the commissioners : " Orders have been given at the barriers of the town to prevent the exit of money, which, for some days past, has, it is said, been leaving the town in large quantities. The employes of the octroi are ordered, in fact, to visit and search carriages of every description, and the com manders of the posts of National Guards have received instructions, in case of necessity, to aid by force of arms. A resolution adopted by M. Arago, and placarded yes terday throughout the city, decides, in fact, that any person quitting the city will not be allowed to carry away a sum in coin amounting to more than 500 francs, unless he can show the employment he is going to make of it, and that he has the permission of the authorities. If that justification cannot be made, the sum retained shall be exchanged for an equal amount in notes of the Bank of Lyons." Serious disturbances took place at Bordeaux on the 9.oth. On that day accounts arrived that M. CUE• VA LLIER, the Commissioner sent into the department of the Gironde by the Provisional Government, was superseded, and that M. DE LATRADE was appointed in his place. The news created a great sensation throughout the city, where M. CHEVALLIER had made numerous friends, in consequence of the mode ration and spirit of conciliation which he had shown to all parties. At the Bourse the sensation was very great, and the merchants congregated there at the hour of business went in a body to protest against " this strange intervention of a new man in the affairs of the department directed hitherto by an agent whose character for wisdom and moderation had obtained general approbation." M. CHEVALLIER received the deputation, and informed those forming it, that, as he was previously aware of their inten tions, he had communicated with the Central govern ment on the subject by way of telegraph. The de putation then retired, but the excitement among the people, instead of diminishing, greatly increased. The neighbourhood of the Prefecture was filled with crowds of people, and their appearance was becoming every moment more and more threatening. At length M. CHEVALLIER appeared on the balcony, and at tempted to speak, but his voice was not audible in the midst of the cries of " Vive Chevallier—ci bas le provencal ! " M. LATRADE then attempted to speak, but he was received with such volleys of abuse, that he was instantly forced to retire. The excitement then became so great that the people could no longer be restrained. A crowd attacked the gates of the Pre fecture, which in a very short time were burst open, and all parts of the building were instantly filled with the mob, which searched every corner for M. LA TRADE. FortuLately for that person he had found means to escape by a back way jest as the front gates had been burst open. M. CHEVALLIER and the Mayor of Bordeaux then appeared at one of the windows looking into the court of the Prefecture, and an nounced the departure of M, LATRADE. The news was received with thunders of applause, and the crowd, satisfied with the triumph, consented, after a short delay, to quit the building. Great apprehensions were felt of a renewal of the disturbances in the course of the night. The Government plan for making advances on deposits of goods and merchandise is generally ap proved; it is thought to be an approach to our system cf bonded warehouses and negotiable warrants. A credit of 500,000 f. on the revenue of 1848, is taken by the Government to be applied to the repair and preservation of the 18 palaces, galleries, museums, and establishments kept up by the Monarchy. An other credit of 250,000 F. is taken for the expense of building the temporary hall of meeting for the National Assembly. The Court of Assizes of the Seine is about to enter on the trials of the persons arrested during the attacks on the railway stations of the Amiens and Rouen lines. The Patrie states that a Republic has been pro claimed in the Duchy of Luxembourg, but not in the city itself, which is under the guns of the fortress. The news is official. A levy of recruits has been ordered throughout the Kingdom of Poland. The chapel of the Tuileries, which was uninjured during the occupation of the Chateau, will be opened for Divine service on Sunday next. The Journal des Debats publishes the following letter, addressed from Lyons, on the 18th inst., by the Commissary of the Provisional Government to the Minister of the Interior : " Notwithstanding the continual rumours and the alarming reports propagated, but which have no foundation, I think I can answer for the maintenance of tranquillity and order. Nevertheless, the financial crisis is alarming." The Moniteur publishes a decree of the Provisional Government, establishing a police force, under the title of "Guardians of Paris." Their duties will be similar to those of the London police—they will not be armed ; they are to be sufficiently numerous to al low one for each space of sixty houses. The expenses are to be paid by a tax on all proprietors or tenants whose rent amounts to snore than 401. a year.

" Paris, March 22,1848." BOURSE—RA.IIM, THURSDAY, MARCH 24. . , THREE O'CLOCK.-A very general fall took place to-day, particularly in the French Rente, which was offered from the beginning of business. The Three per Cents are 21. lower, closing at 48f. ; and the Fives, 21. 50c. lower, the last quotation being 681. ; the latter were even at one moment of the day done as low as 67f: 30c. There were several causes assigned for this decline ; first that the news received from the depart ments was not favourable, disturbances having taken place in various points ; next, that the financial position of Paris and other important places is becoming more and more deplorable; and, thirdly, that the telegraphic news from Berlin-if true, for many doubted it was of a nature to bring down the German mar kets, and afterwards react on many of the Paris bankers, most of whom transact considerable business with Germany. Towards the close of the day a slight improvement. appeared visible, but it had not time to produce much effect. Bank of France Shares are 50f. lower, closing at 1,6001. ; Belgian Fives (1840), 2f. lower, at 651.; French Four per Cents. if. lower, at 591.• ' City of Paris Bands are 151. lower, at 1,000 f.; and Piedmont Si. lower, at 825. Railway Shares are also lower ; but they held up on the whole better than the Rente. Orleans have fallen 15f., closing at 6801.; Versailles (Right Bank), 10f. at 1151. ditto (Loft Bank), 71. 50c., at 1071. 50c.; Bordeaux and Lyons, lf. 25c., at 393 E 75c., and 301 f. 25c.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. Accordiug to the lastest accounts tranquillity con tinued undisturbed in Berlin. The Prussian States Gazette publishes the following proclamation : " To BIT PEOPLE AND TO THE GERMAN NATION. " Thirty-five years ago, in times of imminent danger, your King addressed himself to his people, and his con fidence in them was not misplaced; your King, in alli ance with his people, preserved Prussia and Germany from ignominy and degradation. " At this moment when our fatherland is menaced by the most fearful and immediate danger, I address myself with confidence to the German nation—among the noblest branches of which my people may with pride include themselves. Germany is a prey to fermentation at home, and threatened with danger abroad from more quarters than one. Deliverance from this twofold and urgent peril can arise only from the cordial union of the German Princes and people under one guiding hand. This guidance I take upon myself during these times of danger. My people, who shrink from no danger, will not desert me, and Germany will join me with confi dence. I have this day adopted the ancient German national colours, and have placed myself and my people under the resucitated banner of the German empire. From this day forth the name Prussia is fused and dis solved into that of Germany. " The Diet, which has already been convoked for the 2d of April, in conjunction with my people, presents the ready medium and legal organ fur the deliverance and pacification of Germany. " It is my resolve to afford an opportunity to the Princes and States of Germany fur a general meeting with the organs of this Diet on a plan which will be proposed without delay. " The Diet of the Germanic States, which will be thus provisionally constituted, must enter boldly and without delay upon the requisite preliminary measures for avert ing dangers both at home and abroad. " The measures at this moment urgently called for are— "1. The institutbn of a general popular Federal army. " 2.. A declaration of armed neutrality._ " This national armament and this declaration will inspire Europe with respect for the sacredness and in violability of the territory which boasts the German language and the German name. Unity and strength alone will be able in these days to maintain trade and commerce in our beautiful and flourishing fatherland. "Simultaneou.ly with these measures for averting impending danger, the German United Diet will delibe rate on the regeneration and the foundation of a new Germany—an united, not an uniform Germany—an union without diversities—an union with freedomd. " The general introduction of genuine constitutional legislation, with the responsibility of Ministers in all the several States, open courts of justice, trial by jury in criminal cases, equal political and civil rights for all re ligious persuasions, and a truly popular and liberal ad ministration, will alone be able to accomplish this great end. " FREDERICK WILLIAM. " COUNT ARNIM. " VON ROHR. "COUNT SCHWERIN. " BORNEMANN. "ARNIM. " KUI-INE. " Berlin. March 21, 1548." Count VON ARMIN has been confirmed in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and is still President of the Ministry pro tem. The civic authorities have announced by proclama tion that the solemn interment of their brethren who fell in the late contest, and the maintenance of the families of the deceased, will be undertaken at the expense of the city of Berlin. The Prince of PRUSSIA, has, it is said, left Berlin for England. By a royal decree, dated the 20th inst., his MAJESTY has approved the return, gratis, of all pro perty pledged at the Royal Loan-office for the value of five dollars or under. The Cologne Gazelle, of the 22d instant, announces that at one o'clock on the 20th the Poles confined in the new prison of Berlin had been set at liberty. "They proceeded in triumph to the Palace," says the corres pondent of the Gazelle. " The crowd which ac companied them rent the air with their rivals. The people unyoked the horses from the carriage of ithEnosLAwsKt and drew it to the Palace. Ladies waved handkerchiefs fruin the windows. MIEROSLAWSKI held in his hand a black, red, and gold flag, and saluted the people as he passed. When the cortege reached the Castle-square, the KING appeared at the balcony. The Suably: Mercury of the 21st instant states that the domain of Prince METTERNICH, the celebrated Castle of Johannisberg, has been sequestered by the Government of Nassau, as also its extensive wine vaults. The Prince, it appears had not paid excise duties for the last 33 years, from 1815 to 1848, and the ducal Government was determined to claim the arrears. Accounts from Breslau of tha I 7th state that the following resolutions were passed by the Deputies of the city on that day : •` 1. The immediate armament of the burghers. " 2. A petition to his Majesty to relinquish every al liance with Russia that has reference to coercing the Southern States of Germany. "3. To dismiss the present Cabinet, and replace it by men who possess the public confidence." The disturbances which took place on the 16th, during which a division of the Cuirassiers fell upon the un3ffending multitude, have had the worst con sequences. As the General in command refused to supply the burghers with arms, the district associa tions resolved that every man should arm himself as he best could, and repair at six in the evening to an appointed rendezvous. In the brief space of one hour every gun-shop was cleared of its arms at high prices ; the students had their rapiers sharpened by the knife-grinders in the streets, and everybody put on the black, red, and gold cockade and ribands• The liberation of the brothers HOFFMANN, who were imprisoned for high treason, was forcibly Effected. After this the burghers took possession of all the principal posts of the city, and the night passed off with tolerable quiet and order. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Everything is tranquil at Vienna. The Hunga rian Deputies, befora they left the city, published the following uthire3s of thanks to the inhabitants of Vienna:— " The high-minded Burghers'of Vienna, ."fhe freedom of the people of Austria has been accomplished. '• That danuerous tendency which promoted discord between the two nations no longer exists. Henceforth the bond which unites us all beneath the sway of our beloved monarch is not that of general servitude, but that of universal freedom, wh.ch is now secured to all and for all permanently and irrevocably. " Brethren, our wishes have been accorded. Hence forth there will be a responsible Hungarian Ministry, chosen by the majority of the national representatives, who shall conduct the affairs of Hungary under the con trol of a, free press, and through it by enlightened public opinion. This gives us a sure pledge that your wishes also will not remain unfulfilled; you have the guarantee of the imperial word, by the institution of a national guard, freedom of the press and of the constitu tion, with all the momentous consequeaces and °blip ttons arising therefrom, and which these constitutions demand in order to be truly beneficial. "Bretbren, we shall bo ono in liberty; strong in union; mighty in co-operation; every link will be ce mented by mutual good will, genuine confidence, and universal love to the highly venerated house of our Sovereign. " Brethren, you have felt that our cause is the same; the reception which you have given us will be indelibly impressed upon our hearts—the response to our call will be re-echoed from the remotest valleys of Hungary. " Brethren, we thank you ; we respond to you by a vivat for the weal of the Imperial House, for universal liberty, for the fraternization of all the people of Aus tria in mind, feeling, and interests. " Given at Vienna, March 17, 1848. " The Deputation of the Hungarian Diet." VIENNA, NlAncn 17. The deputation of the Hungarian Diet arrived here on the 15th for the purpose of presenting to the King the " representation " adopted unanimously by the two Chambers on the 14th. It was received with due formality by his Majesty on the morning of the 16th. The remarkably fine and hand some Hungarians, dressed in their splendid national costumes, repaired in procession on foot to llofburg, and were greeted with the warmest acclamations of the multitudes as they passed through the streets. The following address was then presented to his Ma jesty : "May it please your Majesty,—The all important events which have been recently developed render it our imperative duty at once to give our mind to the demands which our allegiance to the Imperial house of your Majesty, our legal relation to the whole Monarchy, and our duty to our Fatherland, call for. " A retrospective glance at our history brings to cur remembrance that for the space of three hundred years our constitutional existence, as commensurate with the requirements of the times, could not only not be developed, bat that the very maintenance of the same demanded our most strenuous exertions. Th 3 cause of this was that your Majesty did not pursue a constitu tional course, and consequently could not be in harmony either with the independence of our Government or with our consitutional existence. " Hitherto this cause has impeded the development of our constitution ; and we are convinced that if the same course be pursued for the future, and the royal Govern ment be not in harmony with our constitutionality, the throne of your Majesty, and the monarchy itself, which, by virtue of the pragmatic sanction, is linked to us, will be involved in inconceivable consequences, and our fatherland suffer the most severe detriment. " Your Majesty has convoked us for the purpose of introducing reforms. We have recognised herein the fulfilment of our long cherished wishes, and hare com menced our work with cheerful alacrity. " We have resolved that upon the basis of a general taxation we will share those public burdens of the people which formerly were defrayed only by the public admi nistrative committee, and will be equally responsible for the reimbursement of the additional expenses of the Diet. " We have resolved to effect the abolition of immunity of urbaTial relations by indemnity, and hereby equalis ing the interest of the people and of the magistates, to consolidate the throne of your Majesty by augmenting the weal of our Fatherland. " The alleviation of the military, billeting, and hos pital burdens we regard as a primary duty. " We' consider the political and administrative co ordination of the royal cities of the free districts us subjects demanding immediate attention, and further consider that the time has now arrived for the people to be partakers of political privileges. " That effective measures be immediately adopted for the renovation of manufacture, commerce, and agricul ture, is in justice expected by our Fatherland. " But our constitutional existence demands deve lopment in a radical representative system, our intellectual interests demand support based upon free dom. " Our system of defence demands a radical reform conformable with our national character and the general interests of the various classes of the inhabitants in town and co intry. This imperatively calls for the adoption of immediate measures to consolidate the dignity of your Majesty's royal throne, as well as the security of our fatherland. The computations and re sponsible manifestation of the income and requirements of the Hungarian States can be no longer postponed; for thus alone shall we be able to discharge our consti tutional duty of defraying the expenses of the splendour of your Majesty's royal throne, and of conserving the general expenditure of the country ; thus also shall we be able to discharge our other official legal duties, the result of which cannot fail to be favourable. " Several of these questions naturally involve an equalisation with the hereditary Provinces, because of divers mutual interests, for the furtherance of which, while reserving our independent national rights and interests, we will gladly lend our aid. " We are also convinced that the laws which shall be enacted fur the development of our constitutional exist ence, as well as for the intellectual and material weal of our nation, can only obtain life and energy if, for the administration of the same a National Government, in dependent of every foreign influence, be called into ex istence, which, in conformity with the constitutional basis, shall be a result of the majority of the people. Hence we regard the transformation of the present col legiate system of government into a responsible Hun garian Ministry as the main requitement and essential guarantee of all reform. " Thus and in this wise have we regarded our con vocation. " A perfect understanding with your Majesty to accomplish our great task is our resolve and purpose. This is expected from us by our fatherland, it is louked for by millions of people, and we are impelled to it by our instinctive and unshaken faithfulness and devotion to your Majesty'sßoyal House, for we are convinced that thus alone can place, tranquillity, and confidential intercourse be so firmly established in our fatherland, that no unfore seen events or impending storms may shatter or con found us ; and, under such a guarantee of peace and of contentment alone, will our combined energies acquire that unanimity and solidity upon which your royal dy nasty may depend at all times and under all circum stances. "Your Majesty will now, however, agree with us, that for the attainment of this desirable end, peace is indis pensably requisite, and that our mutual relations muit be calm and perfectly undisturbed. " In this respect we cannot fail to be deeply pained at tho indications of disturbances which have appeared in various parts of the United Provinces, which linked to us by virtue of the Pragmatic sanction, and the magni tude of which has been fearfully enhanced, by the un forseen development of events that have taken place abroad. _ _ " We will not sadden the paternal heart of your Ma jesty by entering into details of these circumstances, we will not dwell upon the sensible effects which are already experienced in a financial point of view; but the sense of faithfulness and the responsibility which devolves upon us compels us to speak with boldness that the real origin of these manifest evils, and the main origin of our unprogressive state in the world, lies in the na ture of our administrative system. We are firmly per suaded that your Majesty will find the securest pro tective measures against any possible misunder standing, the most convincible unison with your faithful people, the most heartfelt co-operation of the diverse provinces of your country, and thereby the most unshaken support of your royal throne and dynasty, if in all its governing relations it be sur rounded by those constitutional institutions which are imperatively demanded by the requirements of the times. " Your Majesty, events are in the hands of God ; we implicitly rely on the protection of Divine Providence, yet we deem it an imperative duty to remind your Majesty of these things, in order that your faithful Hungarian subjects may not be taken un awares by the portentous future. For the immediate relief of these apprehensions, for the immediate intro duction of the requisite measures of reform in a consti tutional manner, we shall confidently look on the present sitting of this Diet, and we are apprehensive that the customary transactions connected with the Diet, and, in consequence of the collegiate system, the tedious negotiations with the Government should un towardly delay your Majesty's fraternal views, and dis appoint the just expectetions of the country. "Therefore, with unshaken loyalty, and firm confidence, we beseech your Majesty to ponder upon the momentous circumstances of the case, and to delegate to the Diet plenipotentiary organs of your royal will, who, in con formity with the existing laws, shall be members of our high offices of state, namely, of the Royal Govern ment, as individuals who, professing the confi dence of your Majesty, shall be empowered con stitutional organs of the Executive, and shall be personally responsible for the execution of the laws in prescribed form. These persons further must take part in the proceedings of the Diet, state your Majesty's royal pleasure to the Diet, give the requisite elucidation and explanation of the Government, especially in financial matters, and to effec tually promote the solution of impending questions, that the wholesome laws which are to be enacted may be the more s peedily proposed for your Majesty's ruyal sanction, and by their aid, in the uncertain and ominous state of present circumstances, the peace of our fatherland be secured, confidential in tercourse :consolidated—upon the basis of this t h a t wholesome power, both moral and physical, be de veloped, in which your Majesty amid all the con tingencies of the uncertain future, may find the most unshaken confidence, and your royal throne the most sure protection."— Wiener Zeitung, March 17. RESPONSIBLE HUNGARIAN MINISTRY.—The result of this address to his Mac . sty has been fraught with the most important events. His Majesty was pleased to ac cede to the nomination of a responsible Hungarian Ministry, who were immediately appointed, and the deputation of the Hungarian Magnates and States to Presburgh, with all speed, to convey the welcome in telligence. Wiener Gazette, March 17. Letters from Coblentz state:—" On the 21st of March Prince METTENICH arrived at the Castle of Rheineck, near this town. A detachment of infantry has been sent thither by the military authorities of our fortress. The Prince is the proprietor of a ruin, the Castle of Winneburg. At the top of the tower the coat of arms of the Metternich family has been placed. About a hundred people left Coblentz, to tear down the arms of the oppressors of Germany, which they succeeded in doing during the night. At Frankfort some riots took place, on the report that Prince METTERNICH had arrived there." HANOVER. The KING, on the 19th, officially notified to the Burgher guard that he had dismissed FALCKE from the Ministry, and had appointed as Minister, STUBE, the Liberal Deputy of Osnaburgh, who, for refusing to abet the tyrannical measures of King ERNEST in the beginning of his reign, had been stn' prisoned for several years. On the 20th the KING issued the following proclamation : " Ilanoverians I In answer to many representation s which have reached me, I hare already abolished the censorship of the press, permitted the publication of the proceedings in the Estates, recognised the right of asso ciation, granted the desired amnesty and restored. n of rights to all who have been condemned for political offences—a cencession which I now by these presents expressly declare—and with regard to several other points promised further consideration and legislation ; but I can do nothing more until the Estates a the Kingdom are assembled, with which view I have given orders that by the time they meet all necessary preparatory measures shall have been taken. "In particular, I will, under the now essentially altered position of all Germany, lay before the Estates proposals for a change in the constitution of the country, which change shall be based upon the responsibility of the Ministry to the country, and upon the union of the royal treasury with that of the country. " I exhort you all to wait calmly the development of events, and to avoid the disturbances of legal order. • " ERNEST AUGUSTUS. " Hanover, March 23." LOMBARDY. Private letters from Milan, of the lgth instant , state that the Milanese, on hearing of the revolution at Vienna, had sent a deputation to the Governor to demand the liberation of the political prisoners and the institution of a National Guard, pro mising, in case this was granted, not to molest the Austrian troops. On the refusal of the Governor, the whole population took arms ; men , women, children, and clergymen, set about erecting barricades. The Hotel of the Police was carried hi storm and burnt, and a Provisional Government in stalled under the presidency of the former Podesta Casati. At Brescia, a similar movement broke out on the same day, and the insurgents made a prisoner of the Austrian General. The entire province of Bergamo was in revolt. The Opinion of Turin, of the 20th, publishes the' following news from the Novara, dated the 19th " Milan is insurged, and in a state of siege. The gates are closed, and the battle rages within. The people have made themselves masters of five pieces of cannon, and the report of artillery- was heard up to, eleven o'clock la s t n i g ht. Fi ve t h ousand Lome lli n es are on their way to Milan to assist their brethren. The same journal adds, "At half-past * six P.M., learn that the Government is in the hands of til e Milanese ; CASAT is president, and the tri-colour waves on the Government Palace. Yesterday all the functionaries had abandoned Milan. The centre of the movement was in the Broletto. The gendar mery and firemen fraternized with the people. The Hungarians have shown themselves friendly to the people, who cried, " Viva l'Unghena." The can' nonading of the Castle began yesterday at five, .and lasted till eleven P.M. All the public edificei are in the hands of the people. The Comasina, and Bergamo, are said at this moment to be i n open insurrection. It is said, also, that th e Swiss corps francs have crossed the frontier, and that the VICEROY has been made prisoner near Brescia by a battalion of Italian grenadiols We learn from Vigevano that the HungariA cavalry took part with the Milanese; fu r ' having received orders to prevent the entrance of the country people, they allowed them t° enter in shoals. Last night, at eight, all the tocsins of the villages on the Piedmontese frontier were sounding the alarm. The insurrection is gene ral at this moment throughout the Lombardo' Venetian kingdom. Other letters confirm that the vice-royal palace is in the hands of the people, . 0 that the papers, furniture, &c., had been thrown into the court to be burnt. The Guards, who had tried to resist, had been massacred or dispersed." T he King of SARDINIA, immediately on receiving th e , intelligen ce f rom Mil an , assem bl ed hi s Mi n i s t ers , one a long consultation took place. Several estafettes soon after left the War-office with orders for the formation of three corps of observation on the frog' tiers of the Ticino and Po, and the organization of volunteer corps at Chivasso, Casale, and Novi. The Risorgimento of Turin publishes, from $ journal printed at Milan in opposition to the autho rities, on the 18th, at the commencement of the movement, the following demands in the name of the people of Lombardy " 1. Abolition of the old police, and organization of a municipal one. 2. Abolition of the law of blood, and immediate liberation of political prisoners. 3. Provisional regency of the kingdom. 4. Imme diate freedom of the press. 5. Convocation of the Communal Councils to elect the Deputies of the National Assembly, to be convoked without delay. 6. Civic guard, under the orders of the municipality , 7. Neutraility and subsistence guaranteed to the Austrian troops. Meet on the Corsia di Servi at three. Order and firmness !" The Risorginzento announces that RADETZKY, BOLZA, and Toannsarill were, at the date of the last accounts, shut up wit h some troops in the Castaletto at Milan. "Great Ore" vescence," adds the Risorgimento," reigned at Turino o the 19th, in consequence of the news from Mila n ' Thousands pressed forward to sign their names t ° the list of volunteers that were opened at the Café del Giardino Publico. A deputation was sent to the Ministers to express the desires of the multitude, and' the answer was, that all volunteers who would repair either to Chivasso, Cassale, or Novi, would be imme diately armed at those places. A battery left Ver celli on the 20th, accompanied by the 14th Regiment of Infantry." A commissary of the French Government arrived at Leghorn, on board the Leonidas, on the 14th. It is believed that he will set out for Florence, and thence go to Rome. The moment the rising in Lombardy became known at Turin, King CHARLES ALBERT convoked Cabinet Council to consider the expediency ot march ing an armed force to the assistance of the• Milanese• A letter from Turin, of the 19th inst., states that it was the Archduke REIMER who was arrested at Brescia, and that when the mail left Milan, th e Austrians were making terms with the insurgents for the evacuation of the city. The Patrie of Thursday evening states that the insurrection at Milan has been successful. It does not, however, say on what authority it gives this news, which is not of a later date than the account given in the supplement of the Risorgimento of Turin. The following is the account of the Pattie :—" A very sharp and sanguinary conflict took place between the people and the Austrian troops. At two o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th the insure rection was victorious. The Archduke REGNIER, the Viceroy, had fled, but he was seized by the people at Brescia. The Austrian authorities capi• tulated, after having been able to obtain only one condition, viz., the retreat of all the Austrian troops from the Lombardo- Venetian territory. The tricolor flag has been hoisted in all th* towns of Northern Italy." BAVARIA. ABDICATION OF THE KING-THE CROWN PRINCE PROCLAIMED. Munich, says the Augsburg Gazette, was yesterday (the 18th of March), in a state of great excitement. Some nine or ten thousand men occupied all the public places and thoroughfares. An immense crowd is in the streets, asking the motive of this unusual display. People speak of a coup-de-main, planned by the aristocratic and ultra-montane party, for obliging the KING to appoint a co-regent. The citizens went to the Minister of the Interior to charge him with a message, assuring the KING of their loyalty. It was resolved that the Town-hall, where it seemed a popular meeting had been convoked, should remain doled during the whole session of the Diet. Some people affirm that money had been distributed among the lower classes for the purpose of creating a riot. A telegraphic dispatch has been received by the French Government, announcing that the King of BAVARIA had abdicated, an'l that the Caows PRINCE had been proclaimed King. CONGRESS AT DRESDEN. If we are to trust the Suabian Mercury, the much-spoken-of Congress at Dresden is likely to fall to the ground. The Suabian Mercury says : " It is confidently rumoured in well-informed circles at Frankfort, that two persons high in office at a neigh bouring Court, had, on the morning of. the 17th inst., an interview with the representative of one of the great German rowers to the Diet, in which they dcclared that their sovereign did not purpose attending or taking. 7 .-..
