AUSTRIA.—Our intelligence from Vienna reaches
to the 3lat ult. . _

According to the nineteenth army bulletin, Count
Nugent took up his head-quarters, on the 29th alt., in
Fiinfkerchen, which town had been evacuated on the
26th by the enemy, who were 4,000 strong, with ten
pieces of artillery, and who took the road to Essen,
in order to place themselves under the protection of
that fortress, which, however (the bulletin adds), is
=wounded by the imperialists. The appearance of
the latter in the Baranny and Toles oomitots had
totally destroyed the " hostile elements." On the 19:1
alt., the advanced guard of Count Soblick fell upon
the insurgents near fizanks, and drove them on to
Tokay, near which place, as well as near Tarczal and
Kereastur, the latter took up advantageous positions,
which were attacked on the 22nd by all the troops
under General Schlick. The insurgents kept up a
constant firing. After three attempts a portion of
the imperialists got possession of an advantageous
I height by storm, and thus decided the fate of the
contest. The loss of the insurgents (it wu stated)
was considerable, particularly
.amongst the Polish
Legion. It is added that the imperialists lost a
tidie-
ofiloer, Captain Baron Robin. Vhti emperore arrived, quite unexpectedly, at Prague
en the morning of the 29th January, but returned
the nest day to Olmutz. It appear that, on the 24th
alt., a grand council, composed of the ministers, the
general Akers of the Minute garrison, and of several
generals commanding in Austrian provinces, was held
at the episcopal palace in the above town, in order to
take into consideration the present alarmingi state of
the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The emperor pre-
sided. Numbers of Hungarians compromised in the
insurrection have made good their escape to Paris.
In Dalmatia there have been several collisions
between the civilians and the military, in conse-
quent* of the former refusing to pay taxes. It was
amieted in Vienna, on thenth ult., that the insurgents
wade Perezel had driven the imperial troops from
loran It, and captured fourteen pieces of cannon.
That assertion, however, requires confirmation.
Count Von Wrbns has been appointed commander-
in-chief, pro tem., in Hungary. Numerous troops are
to be forwarded immediately to Italy.
The fortress of Leopoldstatd hu been taken by the
imperialists by storm, but the reported capture of
Eesejg has not been confirmed.
PRUSSlA.—Letters and journal' of the 2nd inst.,
have come to hand from Berlin. Daring the recent
reception by the King of the members of the working
men congress, the former remarked that he
that the working chimes of Prussia would not give to
the word " association " the same meaning that woe
bestowed upon it in Paris. The publication of royal
ordonnances, limiting the freedom of engaging
trade, and establishing corporations, as well am I&
bunals and councils of trade, is shortly expected. Twa
new journals will appear in Berlin towards the end
of the present month : one, which will be placed wider
the general management of Herr Hansoms (bleu
merly Minister of Finance), will be a moderately
liberal, that is to say strictly constitutional mere
and the other (which will owe its existence °blear be
a member of the housed Lippe Bitsterfeld) wrn be
Both 'mit& will be established

by shareholders.
The military dictator of Berlin seems determined
to play the tyrant to the very last. He has expelled
Herr Bodbertus from the Pruesian capital, although
the latter has been officially invited to stand as a can-
didate for one of the districts of that metropolis. Herr
Rodbertus claimed moreover the right to remain in
Berlin, as be still had the title of "minister of state,"
having formed part of an administration. The police
president admitted the claim, but vainly endeavoured
to bring General Wrangel to the tame opinion.
FLOIBFORT.—We have advice. from this city
up to the evening of the 2nd inst.
The debate on the bill relating to the guaranteeing
of the constitution of the empire was resumed on the
let Jut in the National Assembly, and the following
olacse (the 6th) was adopted :
No alteration can be made in the constitution of the
empire inapt through the decision of both Homes and with
the comet of the head of the empire. In order to reader the
decision of either Hones valid [with reference to that question]
there mast be at least two-thirds of the members present; the
question most be twice put to the vote, with en interval of
at least eight days between each vote, and a majority of at
lean two-thirds of the members present, is neeemery alma
time the votes are taken. [lt will be seen that the Ibregoing
dames embodies the principle of an &Decants veto for the
future sovereign of the German emplre.l
After a discoed= on the 7th section, the Assembly,'
without coming to a decision respecting it, adjourned
to the 3rd inst. Several new deputies from Austria
bare made their appearance in the National Assembly,
and some other Austrian members, who had leave of
abelose, have returned.
HANOVER.—The Hanoverian Chambers were
