RO\lE—A letter from Rome, of the 4th, states that
some disturbances had taken place there, and that a*
attempt had been made to burn down the quarts,
in which the Jews reside, the riot being against that
body. The troops were called out, and tranquillity
was soon restored.

VIENNA.
PRUSSIA.—The accounts from Berlin are to a late
hour on the evening of the 13th ; and, though me
actual collision had taken place, the utmost excite..
ment prevailed. General Wrangel had extended the
time allowed to the Burgher Guard to deliver up
their arms, and there was some indication that the
government shrank from the adoption of rigorties
measures. The people maintained a system of passim
resistance : not an arrest had taken
.place, and the
troops were becoming wearied with incessant duty.
The ball of the Schutren-gild was occupied by the
military, without resistance, in the course of Monday.
In the evening tie streets were crowded with group%
each having its orator, but, whilst all of these de-
nounced ministers as enemies of the peep*,
they invariable recommended an abstinence from
violence. An immense crowd serenaded, with riotous
shouts, the Stettin deputies lodged at the St. Petals.

with long speeches. As late as nine p.m., groups
continued in the streets, but the people appeared te-
solved to avoid bringing on a contest Al!

AUSTRIA..—We have letters from Vienna to the
11th inst.., from which we learn that the execution d

Robert Blum, the well-known member of the Frank-

ford Assembly, took place secretly, on the 9th, in •
meadow jtud. outside Leopoldstadt. lle was she*.
and, according to the Werner Zeiterrtg, "by sentence
of a court-martial, the accused having himself come
fessed that he had delivered inflammatory addressesamd
taken up arms against the imperial troops." The
official organ does not state who were his judges, the
precise nature of the charges, or the manner of de-
fence, so that it is inferred no witnesses were ea-

mined, and that the so-called confession may not have
been made.
Besides the repulse of the imperial troops—W
Simonich, the Hungarians havo beaten another force,
under Prince Lichtenstein.
We have received the following from our own cor-
respondent:
Vienna, Nov. 11.—tip to the day before yesterday, there
appeared to be a disposition on all sides to heal, as speedily
as possible the bleeding wounds of this distracted country.
The military authorities were doily and almost hourly re-
laxing the severity of the state of siege ; the officers and
their subordinates displayed much forbearance and eves
courtesy in the execution of their duty ; and on the muter
side there was not the slightest manifestation of to-
wards the troops, bivouacked in various parts of the
city. In fact, numbers of civilians were often seem
, in friendly intercourse with them, particularly in the eve-
ning, when, assembled round their watch-fires, in the com-
pany of their sub-officers, the Bohemian and &layman&
soldiers sung in chorus the long and plaintive melodies ea
their native lands. Now, however, there prevails the pain-
ful impression that the victorious imperialists, laying aside
the moderation which they had at first displayed after the
capture of the capital, are resolved to propitiate the
manes of Lemberg and L,teur by the sacrifice elf
numerous victims, and that the executions which here
already taken place are merely the preludes
numerous others. A species of reign of terror has set in—
one, however, not devoid of the prospect, far less of the hope,
of retaliation. All parties, imperialists as well as democrat;
feel that the execution of Robert Blum is an event of which
the results may be already, to a certain extent, clearly for-
um The intelligence of this mysterious and oeld-bloodid
mention will be received with honer at Frankfort ; but it
will not be easy to describe the sentiments and feelings it
will evoke in Berlin. Whetter Windischgrats, in this execu-
tion, and is the aeleivuuent ones,
_ acted entirely on hie owns
responsibility, it is of course all but impossible just sow as
ray; but it may be remarked that constant communications
are kept up between Schonbrunn and Olmeits ; and it is
scarcely possible that the eats of Robert B am, a prominent
member of the Frankfort National Assembly, the deputy of
an important commercial town, and one of the heads of a
powerful political party in Germany, should not have been
made a topic of consideration at the imperial court.
I have begun to suspect, since my arrival in Vienna, that
too much importance has been elsewhere attributed to the
late outbreak itself in that capital. At the commencement
of the disturbances, there were few who fought, and fewer
still who hoped, that matters would be carried to the extent
they reached; there was no definite idea of the object of
the insurrection; there were no leaders, or rather too many
I leaders—all pulling different ways ; the movement cannot be
I termed an Austrian, much less a German one, for Polish and
Hungarian tt elements" were conspicuously blended with it;
nor can it be rightly denominated a democratic one, for.
after all, the Croatians, whom the Viennese opposed, are he
more democratise' in their principles, their tendeneka, and
their demands, than the Magyars, with whom the Viennese
sided. No anti-dynastic, no republican demonstration, wee
intended ; and the whole affair may be set down, so far as its
commencement is concerned, as a sudden ebullition of pops.
jar discontent at the weakness indecision, and tergiversa-
tions of the ministry with regard to Austria in general, and
Hungary in particular.
The conflict itself must be stripped of the gigantic pro-
portions with which it hu been inveeted. Neither the majority
of the students nor of the national guards approved of it ; the
deserters from the imperial army were infiueneed in their
decision far more by the profuse bribes of rich Magyar
aristocrats than by the love of popular principles; no attempt
was made to oppose the junction of the imperial troops; up
to the last moment the civic authorities endeavoured to bring
about a pacific arrangement. It was only at the extremity
that the Hungarians were invited by the Viennese to lend
their aid ; the former, however, were too weak to afford any,
and when the combat began in earnest, it differed but little
from an ordinary barricade affair. The insurgents, however,
fought bravely end desperately ; the lose of life has been
greet, something like 900 altogether, and that of property
immense.
With respect to ministerial arrangements, it is understood
at present that Stadion will shortly become the new presi-
dent of the council ; Schwareenberg, Minister of Fireign
Affairs ; and Bed, Minister of Justi e. As governor of
Trieste, or rather more properly of the so-celled Kustembusd,
Stadion displayed much tact and moderation. It is united
that he disapproved of the execution of Robert Blum, but
there is some dough( on that point.
I have been informed, on good authority, that the Diet,
which was to have met en the 15th inst., in 'Eremite, will
not be convoked until the Ist of Deeember. Several depu-
ties, however, have already proceeded thither, and many
have resigned. The toen.oonnitil is almost exclusively
occupied with the amelioration of the condition of the
working classes. The imperialists, under General Simoniet
have experienced • 'check at Tymau, and bees obliged*
retreat to Goding. In the vicinity of the former place, th
Hungarian army consisted of twenty-two squadrons o.
hussars, four battalions of infantry, and two batteries.
AU the troops that can be spared in Vienna will be sent to
the seat of was in Bungs). Two battalions, with an ample
supply of smeassitiee, left this morning. General Oorgsy
has been appointed by Kostuth commanderin.chief of the
Hungarian army, vice Moga, who has received serious if not
fatal injuries by being thrown from his hoses during the
skirmish at Selurechat.
The report that Musenhanser was Mot yesterday was
uetounded. It is believed that, as he acted under the endue
of the town council, the sentence of death recorded against
him will he communed to imprisonment for lite. A Pals,
named Jelovic,was shot yesterday, by order of a oourt martial.
He had not taken may active part in the insurrection sines
the 25th ult. The Weimer Zeitsesig only gives the names of
foreigners who have been executed, making no mention et
the Austrians who have bees shot. Rumours are afloat to
the effect that Windischgrats has asked perminion of the
Russian government to tranepert the prisoners to Siberia,
particularly the students wko have been taken.
Foreign papers, en arriving in Vienna, are forwarded to
Schonbrunn, where they are examined by the censors nomi-
nated by Prince Windischgrats, and withheld fTOIR the sub-
scribers if anything objectionable appears in them. Rua
the Augsburg Gazette has been thus stopped more then
