AUSTRIA.—The amounts from Vienna are no later
then the Bth inst.
The deputation appointed by the Diet at Kremsier
ID present an address to the new Emperor had an in-
terview with him at 011muta. Francis Joseph, in
reply, urged the deputation, on their return, to do all
in Wir power to get the connention voted as quickly
poneble, and to submit it to his sanction. The de-
petabon then proceeded to Prague, in order to m-
enet another address to the late Emperor Ferdinand.
Before his abdication, the latter granted the Beni
deputation nearly all their demands.
The Breslau Gazette states that the new Emperor
of Austria has commenced his reign by dismissing
Prince Lobkowits and Count M. Dietrichsteir. The
firmer is the courtier who assumed such important
airs during the residence of the ex-Emperor at
°limier, and who insulted the deputation from the
eivie authorities of Prague--the city in which his
lets imperial master has sought a retreat from the toils
of government.
It is understood that the operations against Hun-
gary will be deferred for a few days, in order to ascer-
tain the effect that will be produced by the official
annoancement of the abdication of the late Emperor,
sad also in order to afford the imperial troops the
nity of taking the oath of allegiance to Francis
opportunity of taking the oath of allegiance to Francis
Joseph. Meantime the 'Magyars made an incursion
an the sth into the Austrian territory near Bruck, and
penetrated u far as Rohran. Towards evening, how-
ever, they withdrew. The Croatians had advanced
as far as Nicholstadt, and the Hungarian army had
abendontd Freiburg on the 30th ult., taking with
them 160 cannons and the guns of the national guards,
who, it appears, declined to fight against the imperial
troops. The Hungarians had taken up advantageous
positions in Wieselbarg, Arad, and Kamm.
The young Emperor was expected to arrive on the
ith or Bth at Vienna.

Daring the sitting of the Diet at Kramsier on the
4th inst. the Minister of Finance calculated that the
deficit for the year 1849 would be 49,340,000 florins,
bet that it would be covered by new taxes and the
like [pleasing prospect at a time when everything is
extremely dear in Vienna and money very scarce).
The minister gave it to be mood that govern-
ment would increase the duty on brandies, impose a
on beet-root sugar, and gradually remove the
itoitions on imports, because so long es these pro-
'billow LAM there could be no hope of a junction
with Germany [t in he German isZollvere here aided
to]. A property tax is also annonotted, and the
abolition of lotteries recommended on moral grounds
Alter referring to some other measures, the minister
vied the Diet to allow the government to contract a
ken of 80 millions of florins. end to allow a portion
ri it to be seeds over to the bank in order to mime
the national debt. The proposition of the minister
(whirs excited considerable sensation) was referred
to the flames committee, with instructions to bring
up their report within a week. 309 out of the 362
members of the Diet were present. The other depu-
ties (except 9) are absent "without leave."'
The Vienna University will not be re-opened before
Fehreary nest. Daring the last bw days the severity
the state of sego has been increased. Ministers
have rewired to dissolve the union of Siebenburgeo
with Hungary Proper.
