GERMANY.

AUSTJtIA.—We have news from Vienna to Aug. 9.
The deputation of the Diet to the Emperor, at Inns-
prtak, requesting his immediate return to Vienna,
has communicated to the Diet the successful result of
their mission. _

Our correspondent at Vienna writes as follows :
VIENNA, AUG. 7.—Yesterday our German garri-
son, only two regiments of infanty and one regiment
of cavalry, in company with the national guard, had
a great parade. The German colours were hoisted,
three cheers were given to the chief of the central
government, and by this act of solemnity Austria has
openly declared her intention to unite with the
whole of Germany. Last night we received dos-
patches from M. Hornbostel, our Minister of Com-
merce, who has been sent to the Emperor, in advance
of the 12 deputies of our constituent assembly.
The Emperor will now, it appears, return.
There are two important facts in this imperial resolu-
tion, the first is that the emperor acknowledges :hat
the national assembly and its deputies are the true
expression of the nation ; the other is that he recog-
nises the necessity to obey that expression. Such a
termination of the affair, surprising as it is to every-
body, is considered the most important victory of the
demwratic principle. Wessenbcrg, who has not yet
accepted the presidency of the council, and
who is at Frankfort, will not come to Vienna. He is

an old friend of Archduke John. Prokech, to whom
the portfolio of the foreign affairs had been offered,
has not yet accepted it, feeling himself incapable. The
ministry, with all its success, has still its fears. Itadet-
zki is advancing in Italy at such a pace, that we are
afraid he will not resist the occasion to cross the fron-
tiers of Sardinia, a success which we openly decline
to enjoy, our war in Italy not being made to conquer,
but to obtain an honourable peace. The strictest
orders will be sent to Radetzki, not to cross our
frontiers.

the Itus4ians had not up to that time taken their
departure.

PORTUGAL.

The Jupiter, Capt. Meehan, arrived at Southamp-
ton last night, with the Peninsular mails, in the
charge of Lieut. Rainer, Admiralty agent. Her dares
are—Gibraltar, Aug. 4 Cadiz, 5 ; Lisbon, 9 ;
Oporto, 10; Vigo, 11. She brings 40,000/. in specie.
The intelligence from Lisbon is that the Cortes
would close on the 14th. It was stated that at a
drawing-room held by the Queen, her Majesty had been
' treated with diliespect. The political prisoners still
remained incarcerated. The son of the late Spanish
ambassador had been ordered to quit Portugal. The
northern provinces were in al i xcited a state that dis-
turb:in ?es wer.i expi cted every day ; while in the
northern garrisons numerous desertions had taken place.
Gas has been introduced into the streets of Lisbon.
'flu re was a rumour afloat that the Queen had been
fired at while at Cintra, but it was believed to have
arisen from the fait of additional troops being sent to
protect her. She has lately, however, driven with a
guard, which is quite unusual, except on, state occa-
sions..

The discount on bank notes was 39 per cent. Ex-
change on London, 30 days' sight, 52; ; 90 days' date,
52;. Little business done.:

Our correspondent, whose letter, with the :Lisbon
papers, we have received since the above was in type,
Says
In either house the debates:havebeen without subject of
public interest beyond the blazoning of the shameful tact of
misappropriation of treasury funds being carried on to the
absorption of nearly the entire riventice of the country, by
the Queen's ministers, their relatives, and the court par-
tizans, while hopelees and hourly aggravated bankruptcy
brine the miserable state to which Portugal is at present
redaced to. .

On Sunday, the 31st July, a disturbance took place at the
thronged arena at the Campo &iota Anna bull-fights, which
for a time threatened seri. wily to compromise public tran-
quillity. A Spariard, newly introduced to the circle, had
been advertised u the performer of sundry novel ►nd agile
feats, one being that upon the first rush of the bull into the
ring, he wu to spring upon its btor and then disable it.
The alight dilfererce, however, in the pleasing
pn-
gramme, and the fact as it occurred wu, that instead
of the cavalier's jumping upon the bull, the buil first
knocked his antagonist down and then jumped upon him.
The th,lppoint. d opt ctators set up loud and angry cries, and
the bliffi Ni matador first receiving a savuze beating from the
government director of the sports (the man bring
held by others while he was thus kicked and beaten)
was then handed over to the soldiers, who also
cruelly maltreated the faiwing wretch. The spec:
wore relenting, expressed their disapprobation and
disgust at this cowardly and savage proceeding, when, from
some unexplained cure, the military guard and a portion of
the lookers on commenced a contention : on the part of the
police soldiery swords were drawn, a miserable abortion of an
officer setting tne example, sabre cuts were dealt out riAlit
and left, and severe wounds were received by many. It re-
quired some exertion of the authorities to restore order, and,
from atter precautions taken by the military, it would appear
that an attAck on them was anticipated. Fortunately no
further collision occurred.
