AUSTRTA.—Our latest amounts from Vienna an
to June IS.
The Lloyd reports, as the latest news from the seat
of war, that the brigade under General Reiscnach
gained a victory over the Magyars in the Schutt. on
the 17th, at Sz;rdahrly, taking 4.000 prisoners, eight
12-pounder, arid 60 homes. While the Austrians
have won, according to the Vienna prom, so many
and such brill mt victories in the Schutt, it is curious
they are not one step more advanced than they were
six weeks ago. The WieNer Zeilung contains •
long balletin concerning on attack made by the Mag-
yars, on the 16th, against the Austrian troo, s, along
the line of the I:wer Waag and in the Schutt, which,
it says, was repulsed upon all points. The brigade
of ReteChach was attacked at 7 a.m. by 4 battalions of
Honved, and 3 divis'ons of hussars,withelpiecesof can-
non. At the same hour two !loaned battalions, with one
division of hussies, and 12 cannon, advanced from
Guts against Nadozeg, and occupied the village
Kiraly New. Tie main column of the Hungarians
advancint from Gut& consisted of seven battalions of
Harmed, four divisions of humus, and three batteries.
A third Hungarian column of six battalions and two
detachment, of cavalry attacked Harlan at Schintau.
The casualties are not given on either aide. For
the rest it appears to be an affair of very little im- '
portance.
The Magyars seem determined to hold Raab at all
cost. It is g eerie mei by 10,000 men with 40 cannon.
The theatre on the promenade is entrenched, as well
as the Vienna gate and the corn magazine hard by.
There is a drawbridge thrown across the moat. Of
the main sort* of the Magyars part is between
Britckel and Hochstrass, under Ptiltenberg, and part
at Gunge and Comorn, under Klapka. Kossuth was
for some days in Rub, which is the birth-place of his
wife, and harangued the people. General Sass began
operations from 'Takla on the 17th, and marched
against Epink. After his defeat at Kacz, Perczel re-
treated to Theresiopel.
FRANKFORT.—A communication made to the
Cava* Gazette, &Ltd June 21, sass that a formal
rapture between the Central Power and Russia is
imminent. The cause assigned is, that the imperial
ministry, in order to strike a decisive blow against
Baden, before the arrival of the Prussians, ordered
the rash acd ill-combined movements on the Neckar,
that have caused such useless waste of life, and almost
paralysed the operations of the Pranks wpm. Ii •
few days, therttne, some decisive step might be es-
trous Berlin against the present ministry of the
tee Val Power.
There are rumows afloat in Frankfort to the effect
that Prussia and Bavaria have ome to the under-
standing that, piece the Duke of Baden is not able to
maintain that state as a duchy, it shall be divided
between the two kingdoms.

WURTEMBERG.—We have received the follow-
ing letter from the correspondent to whom we have
been indebted for the series of excellent and striking
letters on the proceedings of the German parliament
in Frankfort:
STUTTGART, JCNE 21.
The National Assembly was prevented yesterday
by violence from sitting at Stuttgart. After the de-
claration of the Minis' er Roemer, by which he let
himself in direct opposition to the parliament and its
regency, logic even required this same minister to go
further, and prevent by force the continuation of a
parliament which he would not obey, and which by
us acts threatened to raise the country against his
givernment. Roemer sent, then, the day before yes-
terday to the president of the parliament the advice
to discontinue the sittings at Stuttgart, with the
direct threat that, if his advice was not taken, he
should see himself compelled to employ force.
All the notice the President took was simply to in-
form M. Roemer that he had received his letter, and
to tell him there would be a public sitting at 3 that
afternoon, unless the m mbers of the parliament de-

creed otherwise.
On the morning of this memorable day there was
a sitting of the Wattemburg Chamber to discuss the
question, whether it should recognise the authority of
the parliament or not. In this sitting Chancellor
Wachter asked M. Roemer what he had done, and
meant to do, wi•h respect to the so-called German
parliament? Then M. Roemer read his letter to the
president. This letter proves his embarrassment,l
for it formally recognises the right of the hun-
dred and fifteen members to be regarded as'
the parliament, but then hunts for reasons as a pre-
text for non-obedience, and his refusal of the right to
sit any longer in Stuttgart. There is frankness in the
very embarrassment of this letter, but it is anything
but political. M. Wacchter declared himself quite
satistied buth with the letter and the measure. M.
Roemer then added that he had received no answer
yet from the provident of the parliament. Where-
upon M. Schoder, who heads the opposition in the
Wurtemburg chamber, and at the same time one of
the most chstimmished members of the parliament,
anewt red, " I can give this answer—the president has
ordered a public sitting at 3 o'clock this day." These
words fed like a thunder-bolt on the ministers, they
soon row, left, and only returned partially after some
considerable time.
They had gone out to give the necessary orders and
call in the military, which they had collected around
Stuttgart. Already, at one, the court of the National
Assembly was invaded by the troops, and soon every-
thing was demolished by the axes of the pioneers.
From one to three the soldiers, artillery, infantry,
cavalry, arrived from all sides. All the streets leading
to the parliament meeting place were blocked by the
troop*. About three o'clock the members of the par-
liament assembled on the square before the king's
palace, and went from there in procession, the presi-
dent at their head, escorted by the noble Wortentherg
poet,Uhland. Havingeome to the first row of bltonets,
the president, M. Loewe, of Calwe, summoned the
soldiers to let him past. Then a commissioner in
plain c'othes came forth, and informed the President
he had received orders from his government to pre-
vent the public meeting of the parliament. On say-
ing this he immediately t etired behind the soldiers.
M. Loewe cried out to him, "In the name of the
Winn stop and hear my answer " • but the military
commander on the instant ordered the drums to heat.
General Muller let them stop for a moment
to give some orders, when the President took advan-
tage of the silence to say with a loud voice, " You
commit a crime of high treason against the nation,
you will be punished for it by the laws, and I protest
in the name of the people. General Muller cried
oat, " Forward cavalry," and immediately after the
infantry, which closed a street to the left, se. ried its
ranks to allow the lancers and the hussars to lass.
There was a cry of indignation from the people which
had followed the parliament. The officers gave the
word to advance, and to cut down those who did not
immiediately withdraw. But the members of the
lament would not retire till after brute
should have been employed. Six times
the officers commanded the attack, bat the soldiers
did not seem as if they dared go further.
At las' the officers advanced, the men followed, one
man at the side of Uhland was wounded, several
members of the parliament received sabre wounds,
others forced along by the horses, and the street was
at length cleared. Then the young men cried out
" To arms," but the parliament did not desire blood-
shed; one word from it, &rd blood would have flawed
everywhere, for even the soldiers obeyed with evident
reluctance. The majority of the parliament, however,
was persuaded that ail fighting in Stuttgart would
only increase the number of victims for the good
cause.; there was enough of them already in Baden
and the Palatinate.
Having thus yielded to violence the members of
the parliament assembled to record this act, to autho-
rise the president to meet elsewhere, and to order him
to prosecute before the tribunals all those who took
part in this act of violence committed against he par-'
liansent. The law which the parliament pad td some
months ago for the safety and protection of its mem-
bers, and which punishes the acts of yesterday as
high treason, is valid in Wartemberg and the law of
the land, for it was officially published as such. Behold
us, then, at the end of this first German parliament. I
think Germany and especially those, who remained
faithful to their parliament, ought to thank M.
Roemer for havirg given to it such a beautiful death.
The revolution is corquered for the moment through-
out Germany, excepting Baden : if they had suffered
the parliament to linger on at other fortnight it would
have did a natural de eth without pity and covered
with ridicule. Now it has died with some honour, or
rather, it is not deed, but sleepeth for a season.
The regency will probably go to Carlsruhe, but I
don't think the parliament will follow it ; for the
majority does not regard the Baden movement as our-
, ficiently purely German, and then it does not antici-
pate success. A part of the members of the parlia-
ment will go to Baden to serve as volunteers, but the
rest will return home, if that be still permittt d them.
All go with the full conviction that the " reaction"
has gained a battle, but that it will lose the campaign
in the end ; that the legal revolution, which the Ger-
man nation believes itself called upon to make, has
reached its end, but that the violent revolution will
commence where the other terminates. It may last
some years, but the end of the end will be a parlia-
ment for ell Germany, after all the obstacles that op-
pose it shall have bees removed.

CHINA AND THE EASTERN
ARCHIPELAGO.

We published on Saturday a summary of the news
from China brought by the India Mail ; we now select
the following from the letter of our correspondent :
HONG-KONG.
APRIL 25.—The affair of the 6th April, to which
all eyes have been directed for the past year, has
blown over as a less than ordinary event. At the
time the mail left last month the feeling gained
ground that the gates of the celestial city would be
opened, and that opinion was strengthenedby a re-
script said to have been received from the emperor,
but, in truth, of so equivocal a nature, that the ones
lay on the imperial commissioner, who appears to
have relieved himself of all blame on the part of his
own government, and to have enlisted the humane
feelings of the English authorities to desist frees
entering the city of Canton. The mail last mace*
was detained in expectation of Mr. Boabam's reseir-
ing an unequivocal reply from Seu as to the probe,-
Misty of the gates being opened, but the answer did
not arrive until after the steamer had sailed for Singa-
pore and Galle. (ibis despatch, together with the
government notification consequent thereon, appeared
in the Express of Sieurday.)
This virtual abandonment of our right (namely
the notification referred to), under the treaty
to enter the city of Calton was at first received
with disgust, bat as time and reflection passed
the judgment became cooled down, to admit, at least,
the improbability of Seu being able to secure the
safety of foreigners or of the city, in event of the
gates being thrown open, and also the impraeties-
bility of our enforcing the demand with advantage,
present or future. There is no doubt the policy of
abandoning what has been so long desired, a right of
entry into Canton, wi 1 be much canvassed in Eng-
land ; but whatever feelings msy be exhibited during
the discussion, the authorities here had no alternative,
as the shedding of blood was positively prohibited by
the English ministry. There is not the least doubt
the privilege will be co ceded at no distant period.
Already since the 6th of April, several Europeans are
known to have entered the city, and met with no
molestation. The prudence of these visits is very
questionable.
Private advice. and the Hong Kong journals of last
month commented freely on the conduct of the Chi-
nese guilds in prohibitteg all commercial intercourse
between Chinese and foreigners under heavy penal-
ties. The rigorous manner in which these guilds
carry out their threat may be learned in the fact of a
Chinese broker being beat to death for offending
against the guild regulations.
