WURTEM BERG, STI.I7OA MDT, MAY 4.—FOOD Rion.
—Most serious disturbances have taken place at Stattgark
!on the pretext of the high Trial of provisiens. Incendiary
proclamations had previously been circulated; and the
government fearing some demonstration, had taken pre-
cautionary measures. The troope of the garrison, and a
part of the National Guard had received instructions to be
ready, and troops and artillery had also been ordered from
Ludt. igsburg. On the evening of the 4th, the house of •
baker, in the Hauptstsetten.strasse, was stocked by the
mob, consisting of workmen of every description. At S
o'clock the National Guard was called out, and the goverucg
of the town, Count de Leppe, accompanied by Prince
Frederick of Wintemberg at the head of the cavalry, Ina
sense detachments of infantry, made their appearance, hut
their exhortations to the mob only inereas-d the tumult.
The troops endeavoured as quietly as possible to clear tba
street, but they were assailed by a shower of stones;
• barricade wiu thrown up and a shot fired. Sams
of the officers and men were wounded by the stoma,
The cavalry then charged, and the ir.faatry Monied the bar-
ricade ; the mob was dispersed, but speedily re-assembled is
other quarters. Stones were thrown on the military yam
the roofs of the houses. The King, accompanied by the
Prince Royal and his staff, proceeded to the scene of the dis-
turbances. At the Mesenbach-bridge a detachment of in.
fantry fired upon the mob, which was approaching ay
person of the King. One man was killed and severat
wounded. It would seem that the jnbeate had a somewhat
political character, for cries were uttered insulting to the
I King, and wishes were loudly expressed that he should yield
the throne to hie son.

AUSTRIA. THE LITE ARCHDUKE CHARLES.--
The Archduke, with • decided call to the military WNW,
became a soldier at an early age ; in 1793 he had a command
in the army of the Prince of Coburg. He was then only
two and twenty. In 1795 he was appointed to the command
of the Austrian army on the Rhine, when, as chief, be had
the glory of beating Jourdan, and of compelling Moreau to
that famous retreat which is perhaps the brightest page of
his military career. He was called to Italy to repair the
disasters of the Austrian generals, and there he displayed
talents such rto acquire him the esteem of Napoleon. Os
the rupture of the peace of Campo Formic., the Archduke
Charles again found himself at the head of the Aultriaa
forces on the Rhine. Ile took a share in the operations of the
Russian armies, which were destroyed by Morin in Swit-
zerland. The Russians laid ell the Ram, of their defeats lathe
door of the archduke, and the (*hire of St. Petersburg,
powerfully seconded by • party in Austria jealous of the
renown and popularity of the archduke, obtained hie recall
But after the battle of Hotteolindrin the court of Visor
was but too glad to recall him from hi, disgrace. At
he peace of Lune ills the archduke was made !Caner
of War, and in this capacity he brought the Austrian anag
to a state of parturient it bad never preeimady obtained. In
1805 the Austrians spin took the field against France, and
the archduke was sent to Italy, hat was recalled after the
battle of Austerlitz. After the peer of Preabarg, he was
charged with the organization of another Austrian army,
though he did all that was in his power to prevent the
Austrians frees again entering the lists against Farm,
and Austria had to enter the disastrous defeat of Wagers.
It was he wheeramended the army is that memorable cam-
paign, and this was the last act alas military career, He
withdrew her active service in 1809, and had since led s
retired life. He wee the author of different stnitritic works
of high interest. By his wife, a pejo-col of Nassau, he
lessee her lens, three of whom hold different grades in the
Asstrian service, and the fourth, Archduke Frederick, is
Vies Admiral and chief in command of the Austrian nary.
He also leaves two daughters : the eldest is the present Queen
of the Two grille*.
