27th tilt.

The Austrian government have warned all public
and private establishments against taking the Hun-
garian bank-notes issued by the insurgents, u such
notes are not legal. Where they are already in circu-
lation, they are to be taken from the possessor', and
forwarded to the central state-treasury, where they
will be rendered useless.

The provincial authorities of Lower Austria have
issued a circular warning all persons against the pur-
chase of 12,981 shares of the Lombardo Venetian
Ferdinand Railway, which have been seized by the
provisional government of Venice, and which, as
alleged, are now worthless.
The Deutsche Zeaung positively asserts that Vienna
will be relieved from the state of siege on the 9th in-
stant, at the latest.
On the 26th, the coachman of Baron Wenkheim, a
native of Hungary, was executed for having oon-
waled a gun in his residence. Five inditiduals in
custody have avowed their participation in the murder
of Count Latour.

The mysterious attacks on isolated soldiers still con-
tinue in Vienna and the suburbs. The exasperation
amongst certain regiments is intense, and there is
much difficulty in preventing a military. outbreak.
It was reported in Vienna that ministers had sus-
pended the recruiting in Bohemia, in consequence of
the exasperation which it occasioned there. This in-
dulgence towards Bohemia will only enforce still more
severely the recruiting in other parts of the empire.
General Schlick has joined the main Austriaa army.
On the other hand, the insurgent general, Gorgey,
has effected a junction with General Dembinaky, who
has arrived at 'Letup, about 30 English miles from
Pesth. The troops under Gorgey are 9,000 strong,
with 30 pieces of cannon and 12 howitzers. The in-
surgents are now stronger than ever, and are flushed
with their recent successes in Siebenburgen--suc-
come which compelled the Austrian generals to in-
voke the aid of the Russians. Windischgratz was
preparing, according to the latest accounts, to march
against the insurgents at Hatvan. On the 10th there
were-further arrivals of Russian troops (Uhlans) at
Cronstadt. The Bzeklers (partisans of the Magyars)
had retreated to Marienbarg.
The Chevalier Van Bruck, the Minister of Com-
merce, has been elected at Trieste as member of the
Diet at Olmatz.

The negotiations for the Austrian loan are not yet
concluded, although they have been going on for more
than a month. Capitalists still hold aloof.
HANOVER—The First and Second Chamber con-
tinue still at variance respecting the promulgation in
Hanover of the law of fundamental rights for Ger-
many. The First Chamber, however, is so far vacil-
lating that in its sitting of the 28th ult, it refused to
come to any final decision with reference to that law.
WIRTEMBERG.—The First Chamber resolved on
the 26th ult. that the continuance of Austria in the
German united empire was strictly necessary for the
welfare, power, and unity of Germany; and that a
concordance between the National Assembly in
Frankfort and the respective government, of Ger-
many, with reference to the constitution, could alone
afford a guarantee for its validity. Nearly all the
speakers maintained that even a pa:Sal exclusion of
Austria from Germany would prove highly injurious
to the southern portion of the latter, not only in a polll
tical but also in a oemmercial point of view.

BADEN.—Count Appony, the Austrian ambas-
sador in Carbrake, has disavowed, on the part of his
government, any intention to make Baden amediatised
duchy.

THE UNITED STATES.

By the Wisoonsin, Capt. Mumford, arrived at
Liverpool, on Saturday, we have New York dates of
the 14th ult., a week lcater than those received by the
Canada, and eve days later than the intelligence by
the Washington Irving.
CAmgress was winding up its affair., previous to ita
demise. A letter of the Washington correspondent
of the New York Courier and Enquirer,
ing the proceedings in the Senate on the 12t of
February, indicates that the protectionists of the
Union are contemplating an agitation, but that their
prospects of MOMS are but indifferent.
During the week which had elapsed from the de-
parture of the Canada there had been a good deal of
talk relative to a protocol which had been got up at
Mexico between the government there and the Ame-
rican minister explanatory of the treaty, and not
communicated to congeal! by President Polk. The
secretly observed was en:melons, and the conduct of
the President was at first loudly denounced, and
grave embarrassments apprehended. After the first
burst of in ton, however, a conviction rapidly
gained ground that the protocol was of little conse-
quence, and at the time when the Wisconsin sailed
the excitement had evaporated.
The steamship Niagara, Captain Stone, arrived at
Banton at 11 am. on the 11th of February, in 16 days
from Liverpool. The effect her news produced on
the New York money market will be found noticed
under the head of Commercial Intelligence.
The intelligence from California was parti-coloured
—favourable mingled with unfavourable. The latest
dates from San Francisco were to the 19th November.
The weather wssvery cold,and a letter from Mazatlan
states that mining operations had ceased for the time
in consequence of its inclemency and the rains. Capt.
Spring, of the Huntress, writes on the 6th Nov. :

Many are now returning tick trom the mines, arising from
exhaustion from irregular living and many are dying from
want of attendance and the ordinary comforts of life, while
their hard earnings lie under their pillow (if pillow they

have)in the ships of 1 to 10Ibe. of gold dust tied op in a dirty
rag. Two of them cases occurred yesterday, and two more
today. _ _ _

Quicksilver (generally in the form of cinnabar)
had been discovered in various parts. Emigrants
continued to pour in. Two thousand had arrived from
Oregon, the Sandwich Islands, and South America.
Lots of land 25 yards square were selling for 10,000
dollars. Provisions were in abundance, both at San
Francisco and the diggings, 'applied from Chili and
Oregon; flour had fallen from 25 to 16 dollars per
barrel. Board in San Francisco was 10 dollars •
week. It Fad been ascertained that the Sacramento
was navigable to 150 lan above San Francisco for
versels drawing eight feet water, and 100 miles fur-
ther for vessels of lees draught. The American steam-
ships navigating the Pacific had not obtained permis-
sion from the Mexican government to touch at
Mazatlan or Acapulco for coal, on account of the ton-
nage duties. There bad been disturbances about the
placer and two men killed by Indians. The hostile
Indians are a numerous tribe, highly incensed against
the emigrants last arrived from Oregon, from whom
they allege they have received recent injuries. The
settlers were deliberating on the means of establish-
ing some kind of state government, " until congress
shall vouchsafe to give them one."
A movement had commeaced in New York for the
purpose of providing religious instruction for Califor-
nia. It does not appear to be uncalled for.
The latest dees from the city of Mexico are to the
13th of January. Tranquillity was restored in
Tampico. Gen. La Vega had arrived at Vera Cron on
his way to Tampico, where he was to assume the com-
mand of the troops. The attempted revolution in
Toluca had been suppressed. A good deal of alarm
had been occasioned by the assembly of 1,000
Lamanches, in Chihuahua.
