the 17th, previous dates being to the 14th only. The
interval between that day and the 17. h was dram-
terised by proceedings which led to violence on the
part of the military against the peopie,
lite. The whole of the day of the 14th pima
quietly ; but in the evening crowds again appeared in
the streets, attracted by the sight of numbers of
patrols, both of horse and foot, which paraded the
streets for fanothrdethirsoe

became necessary to employ cavalry to clear the
the neighbouring streets, where they might make a
stand, for which they sought to make facilities by get,.
tiag together barrels and other metros of protection.
The troops, in clearing away such obstacles, sere as.
sailed by stones. Nor did they succeed without acci-
dent. Two deaths were positively announced, the bo-
dies having been found Inc the Spreega.ne. The tnr-
bulents did their utmost to prevent the soldiers from
doing their duty.
Barricades were made in many streets, and when
these were forced by the troops it is impassible to
mate the number of deaths that ensued, but many
were wounded. The city comMsearies exerted them-
selves, as did the city police, to suppress the distur-
bances ; and they succeeded. By eleven o'clock all
was quiet and orderly in the streets. "There is no
political tendency in these enieutes," says a letter
from Berlin, of the 16th, in the Cologne Cu:-tie, "IA
the longer the arming of the citizens is delayed, the
more likely is it that the movement wilt take
a political character. There is a deep feel.
ing of irritation amongst the people "gal*
the soldiery." The news by the ordinary &la-
pel from Berlin is no later than the 16th at
noon, at which time hopes were entertained
that the quiet which then reigned would continuer
during the day. A telegraphic despatch sent from
Berlin at five o'clock on the evening of the 17th to
Cologne, by. Herr Von Reamer, Minister of the la-
tetior, stated that all was then quiet. It runs thus:
‘. For three evenings the people have appeared is
bands and in arms in the streets. Toe crowns hare
worked hard to bring about calm. Since yesterday
all is quiet, and there is at present tro symptom of a
renewal of disturbances."
From Vienna we have news to the 13th inst., a

Allyenacine Preussische Zeiler/ay, official organ of tbs
Prussian government, of the 17th, under the date
Berlin 15th, thus announces the fact, in conjunction
with the news of disturbances in the Austrian capital:
"The news received here yesterday of disturbanceein
Vienna has to-day been confirmed. Conflicts took
place between the armed soldiery and the people, bet
they were soon subdued, in consequence of the strong
efforts of some member of the Austrian Street, ssi

Austria, that he would grant the required reform
Prince Metternich has resigned, and the formats
of a new cabinet has been tutrustea to Count Koln
wrath and. Count Montecuculi. Thus has Ambit
entered into the road of reform.
A letter from Vienna, of the 12th, which apparel'
the adore Gazelle, says :—The windows of Prime
Sletternich's palace were broken yesterday. A crowd
of students assembled before the university in order to
tor m a petition calling for freedom of the press and
other reforms.
Another letter of the 13th, in the same journal,
says :—Risings have taken place in the city and
suburbs, and addresses have been bent by all the ow-
pomtions to the committee of the states, which hr
already assembled. Yesterday, the students, under
the presidence of two professors, Lye and Endlicher,
assembled in the university and agreed on au &deka,,
in which they prayed for reforms.
To-day took place the opening of the Diet, and it
was opened by the Marshal of the Diet, Coat
Monteeuculi, with the following proposal: "Bk
Majesty is pleased to command that de-
puties of all the provincial states be callei
together ; that the central committee so formed 0141
be made complete by a sufficient number of deputies
belonging to the corporations and elements of tbs
state which are not represented in the provincal
diets ; that the direction of the administration of the
revenue be laid before it, and also the considerahos
and proposal of measures tending to re-establish we-
fidence by giving security to the state of the Sams
and by the development of the resources of the
country be granted to it.
Archduke John returned to Freeburg on the 12th,
to dissolve the Diet of Hungary, the second chamber
of which ham been much disturbed, and impatient at
the delay in the return of the Archduke, who had left
Presburg as early as the 411, with the demands of
that body. A courier has gone to Milan, to isform
the viceroy that the proposed change of nucleus
from Milan to Verona cannot take place.
POSTiCRIPT.—MARCII 1:3 (Evening.)—After a
stormy debate of the Diet, during which the peppy
vented their disgust against Prince Metternich in the
' wildest complaints, deputies from the Diet 'sat
to the Emperor, praying for his resignation. ,
A further postscript states that an immense crow*
accompanying the deputies to the palace, had coo
to blows with the soldiers, and that many had bees
killed and wounded.
The statement taken from a German journal tat
Hungary had declared itself independent, is atlS
pretnnture. A letter from Vienna states that on the
