AUSTRIA.—Our correspondent writes :
VIENNA, Aran. 17.
The Wiener Zeiterig contains, in its official part, the
following notice, for which my letter of the 13th will
have prepared you :
His Nsiaty the Emperor has been pleased, by a decree
of the 12th fasten; to all F. M. Prises Alfred Vfladiede
grits mike mart at Olathe, where his Majesty &mine to
tern to avail the inalgia sad maalteld knowledge of the P. M.
Prince in the datilessatise el very important matters. At
the same die bin ldra boo bean plasm' to entrust the
arearooromaer Dana Indium with the command-in•chiet
ever all the imperial Irmo la Hungary and Transylvania,
to moslid do Baron What to be commanding general in
diowk, above and below the Bans, and military and civil
mentor, ail interims la the capital.
The fall of Will ibis, although talked of lat-
terly as a possibility, is an event which has electrified
The Emperor is said to have expressed him-
intim this subject, at the ministerial council hell et
Molts on the 12th, in very decided language. The
=is accused of want of vigilance and severity in
ins and suppressing the intrigues which w eetil
serried on under his nose by the Hungarian nobility,l
which contributed not a little to the late someone
the insurgents. Although the report concerning the
withdrawal of Haynau's corps from the Venetian ter-
ritory has not been confirmed, it seems certain that
such a proposition was made but opposed by Radetski.
All the disposable cavalry, the light horse and shins*,
that can be spared from the Italian army, will still be
Gott into Hungary. The insurgents ham amount
to 96 squadrons. The last reinforcements of the
Austrians amount to 50,000 men. Bohemia and W-
ilds have furnished the greater part of these sacesass,
and the garrisons of those countries, who's allegiense
hangs by a thread, have been reduced to the host pas-
sible number of soldiers. In proportion to the weak-
ness of the remaining force has been the attempt to
inspire the citizens with terror, the military authori-
ties having everywhere issued notices that the least
attempt at &mete will be the signal for unsparing
slaughter, or, in technical language, the soldiers have
orders to make the fullest use of their weapons in the
immediate dispersion of groups which disregard the
first word of warning. Even the imperial residence
has furnished its contribution of reinforcements, two
battalions of infantry, two divisions of cuirassiers, and
two field batteries having left Olmiltz • for the seat of
war. The interposting of couriers between Viesos
and Sr. Petersburg has been latterly vary
active, Russian intervention is Transylvania being
the supposed subject of negotiation.
Sines the fall of Windischgratz, a maddest smell
is noticeable in the acts of the government. Qstareais
Count Zichy, Count Ludolf, Mertz, and Anse who
were a few days ago put upon half-pay, have been all
summoned before court-martial. It will be remem-
bered that Count Ziohy lost Venice, while Count
Ludolf signed a not less dishonourable capitulation at
Treviso ; and General Auer evacuated Udine without
striking a blow. Mertz is laden with the responsi-
bility of betraying Comorn to the Huoge.iians. The
pensioning off of Count Wrbna may be included in
the same category; to him was ascribed the disaster
of Szolnok ; although, on account of his incapacity
in the field, he was immediately superseded in the
command of the second army corps by Soblick, his
fall was broken by hie near family conarzima with
Windischgrits, who got him appointed oommandeat
of Buda-Pesth. From this post, for which he exhi-
bited as little fitness, an order from Ohniitz has just
relieved him.
The Wiener Zeitung says : "The design of the in-
surgents to relieve Comorn has been completely frus-
trated. The momentary advantage which they
gained by the occupation of Waitzen has been just
snatched out of their hands. The division of Genteel
Czorich has driven the insurgents out of this posi-
tion. The imposing reinforcements which crowd from
all sides to the Austrian army promise the speedy
resumption of an offensive attitude." The same
official paper states that an imperial decree orders the
raising of a reserve corps of between 22,000 and
25,000 men in the March-feld, at Vienna, and another
of 15,000 men in the district of Pettan, in Lower
Styria, both to be completed by the 10th May at far-
thest. Also that it is in contemplation to raise a still
greater force than either of the preceding in the Bohe-
mian district between Tabor and Budweis. I also
find in the Wiener Zeitung news from Bucharest of
the 3rd April, which reports a fresh defeat of the
Russians by Bem. You will recoollect that in an
official report which I sent you a abort time back con-
cerning the occupation of Croostadt by Bem it was
stated that the Ituaidans had, after their retreat from
Hermanstadt, shut themselves up in the quarantine
ground :upon the confines. This establishment is
close to Rothentburm, near the pass of that name, and
about a league within the Tnosylvanian side of the
border. Here the Russians were attacked by Bem on
the 28th March. They were driven out of their sani-
tary hold, and pursued with loos into the Walhichian
territory. The frontier was closely invested by
Turkish and Russian troops.
The city is daily dispeopling : the fashionable
streets offer a most dreary spectacle of solitude, and
the windows of the Leopoldstadt hold out the most
touching bills to tempt lodging-seekers at any price.
The criminal court has found a qualified true bill
against the ex-deputy, Dr. Goldmark, on account of
high treason, and taking part in the murder of Latour,
and ordered his trial. A placard appears at the street
corners today, in which General Bohm announces his
appointment to be commander in Upper and Lower
Austria, and Welden's substitute in Vienna during
absence.
According to a H ' letter in "Lloyd;
3,000 of the Magyars fe in the battle of Godotto,
and not fewer of the imperialists. And hardly two
words have been said about a battle in elicit 6,000
lien were killed.

THE HAGUE, Aram 20.
The Stoat" anirant publishes the comparative
table of receipts and expenditure for the put three
months of 1848.49. The receipts, which in 1848
amounted to 12,587,483 6., have been in 1849 only
12,482,305 6. In the first three months of. 1849, as
compared with the corresponding period last year,
there has been an increase of 271,285 fl. (4,297,467 fl.
against 4,026,1906.) on the direct taxes; of 112,695 IL
(1,005,283 6. against 892,587 ft.) on entrance and
exit dam, navigation dues, &c. ; of 176,308 6.
(4,889,989 6. against 4,713,680 fl.) on the excise; of
2,173 6. (29,607 6. against 27,433 6.) on patents for
gold and silver work, and 300 for the lottery. On
the other hand, there hes been a diminution of
638,799 fl. on registration stamps and succession taxes
(4,927,918 flagainst 2,564,718 fl.), and of 31,142 fl.
on postage (331,560 fl. against 362,709). The exact
diminution for the first three mouths of 1849 is
105,177 6.
The Stoats Courant of the 21st contains an an-
nouncement
iby the minister of firma that a capital
of 7,995,400 ff. n treasury bills has been leaned to the
31st of March, in accordance to the laws of the 20th
Deo., 1840, and the 30th Oct., 1848.
Accounts of the 14th from Copenhagen state that
the Netherlands ambassador has applied to the
Danish minister far foreign affairs for permission for
all the Netherlands vessels which had entered the
Sound since the 21st of March to proceed unmolested
to the various Prussian harbours now blockaded fix
which they were bound. This request has lima re.
fused by the ambamador, in consequence of whisk.
these vessels most run into the harbours nearest to the
blockaded harbour of their destination, those which
were bound for Danzig, Pillan, and Konigeburg to
Memel, and those for Stettin to Weimar. This answer
was likeirime returned by the Danish legation to
the British Ambeamador, and other parties Who made
a similar request; no party whatever has therefor*
obtained free permission.
The subject now under discussion in the seoond
chamber is the alien question, by which foreigners
will receive a great extension of their privileges.
