ROMAN STATES.—Tbe Owriere Mercantile of
Genes of the 6,1 inst. states that on the evening of the
Ist inn. a civic fete took place at Rome, in which the
elute of Florence and other cities of Tuscany took
part. Almost all the battalions of the civic guard
peomesaded the streets with the tricoloured banner.
The Corriere Merrantile of Ornoa of the 6 h inst.
*tie from Rome, 3rd, that a third protest is expected
from the Pope ; and that dissensions are said to have
broken out bets eta the Pope and the cardinals. It
111 also understood that Ca. final Orsini was struck
with a, opli ay shortly atter a very warm dissuasion.
Lanabruschini and Antonelli, it is said, advise the
Pope to solicit an armed intervention; the other car-
digans disapprove of it. A rumour was current that
the Pope Fad sent an encyclical letter, in whiehhe de-
clares that he is ready to confirm all his concessions,

AUSTRIA.—We have sews from Vienna to the
6th inst. General Welder had published another bid-
latin, from which it appears that the head-parters
of Prince Windischgrees were on the 3rd inst. at
Bunke, and on the 4ih at Bia, about twelve miles
from Ofen. On the 3rd inst. the Hungarian pa•lia-
meat sent a deputation to the Prinee's head-quarters
at Bieske. The Prime refused receiving them, and
gave orders they should be made to understand ne-,
thing abort of unconditional surrender would stop the
effusion of blood rn either side. After the battle of
Moor, Baron Jellachich brought his corps
forward to Lovas Bereney. Ofen is consequently
surrounded by the Austrian outposts on the
rat bank of the Danube. Baron Jells-
chick's movement to Lovu Berney was made
with the intention of intercepting the re-
treat to Ofen of the Hungarian General Perna
who after the battle of Moor, bad fal en back
upon tituhleeiseemburg, where he looked for
the Hungarian Colonel Scholia's party to join him.
The Generals Nugent and Dahlen marched on the
4th by Sulba-Egerzeigg, iu the direction of Konica,
'Rasmus having been left in Lendra to keep
ease the communication with Warasdin, and at
Kormond, to protect the route to Styria. The
Cankers of Oodenborg and Eieenburg are being
swept by the Colours Mobiles of Liestenant-Colonel
Count Aithanu. General Count &kb* has drawn
his corps upon Mao's, with • view to back the
Prince's operations spinet Ofen sad Pesth. Some
Wooden were consequently advanced from Yankton
to Hidas-Nemethy, and from thence to Font% when
they fell in with part of the Hungarian army—vin.,
with the Polish legion and a few hundred hussars,
who did not, however, accept battle, but retired upon
the advarce of the Austrian troops.
On the, 28th of December lest, General Count
&Alia, who had, meanwhile, found out that con-
siderable force nu opposed to him, continued his
advance upon Miklees by evading the Hungarian
positions at Szikezo on his onward march, and
Urn threatening their left flank and their rear,
while another part of the Austrian army attacked
them in front. In consequence of this mat miters hall
aeempsav of the }lunation regiment Honved was
snmeanded and captured by the Austrian light horse.
The beargenta developed meanwhile a great strength
en the heights of Szressii. They were attacked by
the Maori at cave Cry and a battery of six-pounders,
and after some mart firing they retired from the fight.
The bulletin asserts that nothing bat the setting in of
alsht saved tae Hungarians from being completely de-
listed. The imperialuna bad five men killed, and cap-
bred &5 men. The loss of the Huogatians in killed
and wounded is. as usual, enormous.
OLDENBURG.—Dates from Oldenburg are to
January 6. The Duke of Oldenburg had, as we
stated some time since, demanded of the states
130.000 dollars for the civil list. Tho state, however,
voted only 100,000, with an cede ition of 15,000
dollars mean spoilage for the hereditary Grand Duke.
On the 4th inst., the Grand Doke declared that he
would reduce his total demand to 170,000 dollars, in-
cluding the spansge of the Grand Duke. To this the
states would have consented, had not the Sovereign
made i, a condition that this sum should be moaned
in landed property to his family as hereditary pro-
perty.
His ministerial council and M. von Moak.,
who was sent to Frankfort on this subject,
have not been able to make him change
his resolution. The Diet has appointed a
commission to negotiate with the Prince on the
subject, and on several other points of the constita-
tion. The grand duke also raises difficulties on the
suspensive veto which has been granted to him, and
dement% an absolute veto.
WURTEMBERO.—By dates to Jan. 4, we learn
that the Chamber of Deputise has addressed a peti-
tion to the government, to present during the
session of the States, a project of law for the reduc-
tion of the civil list of the king and of the &reneges.
The royal resolution on this subject was communi-
cated to the Chamber of Deputies, on the above date,
in presence of all the ministers. The king de-
clared that he did not recognise the stater,
as having the right of modifying dispositions in the
civil list, dote' mined by treaties, and for the whole
durationof his reigr, but the hewou'd voluntarily re-
nounce a part of that list for the current year, and
perhaps also for succeeding years, if the financial state
of the country called for it. The government promised
to present a project of law on the spawn, on the
express understandirg, however, that it should concern
future apanages only, and not those already in ex-
istence.
