GERMANY.

AUSTRIA.—We have the Vienna journals of the
19th. On the lith the Archduke John arrived at
Vienna. The formation of the new ministry as sanc-
tioned by the Archduke John, has been officially an-
bounced. It is as follows :—President of the Council,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and of the Household,
Baron Von Wessenberg ; Minister of the Interior,
Baron Von Doblhoff ; Minister of Justice, Dr. Alex-
ander Bach; Minister of War, Count Latour; Mi-
nister of Finance, Baron Von Krans (provisional),
with Baron Shift as under secretary in the depart-
ment of Finance ; Minister of Trade, Theodore
Hornbostel (manufacturer) • Minister of Public
Instruction, Baron Von Doblhoff (pro tem.);
under-secretary of state to the minister of instruction,
Baroc Von Feuchtereleben ; minister of public works,
Ernest Von SchwargLn, editor of the elltgemeine Oest.
Zeituny.
The Wiener Zeituny likewise contains a simi-offi-
cial article, as to the programme of the new ministry,
in which the principles are indicated which the minis-
try intend to follow. The conviction appears to pre-
vail that the elements of which this ministry is com-
posed are too heterogeneous, and, in fact, otfer too few
guarantees to satisfy the requirements which may be
made in these relations. With the exception of Bach,
Hornbostel, and Schwargen, the members of this ca-
binet are the same which formed the ministry of Pil-
lersdortf.
A letter from I'esth, of July 14, says, " The Hun-
garian Ambassador at the German parliament in
Frankfurt, M. Ladislaus Von Szalai, has been com-
missioned by the ministry to form a diplomatic con-
nexion with the ministry of the regent, so soon as
it shall have been formed."
The Russian Ambassador at Innspruck, in reply to
the interrogation of the ministry respecting the ob-
ject of the movements of the Russian troops at the
t'ruth, returned the somewhat menacing answer that
the Russian government will remain on terms of
friendship with Hungary, bat only so long as they
perceive that the llungarians adopt no hostile
measurts against the Russian frontiers (Danubian
principalities). This appears to have reference to the

numerous fugitive Boyards who have Bed to Transyl-
vania from Wallachia, and thence watch the further
progress of the Wallachian revolution. The ministry
replied to the Russian Ambassador, that, although
Hungary offered an asylum to every political fugitive,
the Hungarian government would nevertheless pre-
vent any hostile armaments or conspiracies which
might endanger the peace of the neighbouring
states.

According to intelligence from Jassy, the Russians
have thrown a bridge across the Pruth.
The commander-in-chief of the Hungarian army in
the Banat, General Buhthold has again granted the
Servian insurgents au armistice of ten days. The
ministry has sent an order to the generals as well as
to the commandant of Peterwardein, Marshal Hra-
bowski, to rise the utmost exertion in putting down
the insurrection. The lengthened negotiations be-

tweeu the ministry and the court, at Innspruck,
have given the insurgents time to concentrate a con-
siderable force. Tney are at present stationed at
five different quarters, viz., the, so-called, Roman
trenches, Carlowitz, Perim, K 11lin, and St. Tho-
mas's. This latter city has gone over to the insur-
gents within the last few days. This has afforded an
opportunity to the opposition in the lower house,
which, although it does not number more than forty,
includes .he most influential and talented men, to
make an attack upon the ministry for their negligence,
and it will require all the exertions of the powerful
Kossuth to prepare the discussions upon the address.
The ministry expects shortly to obtain a decided ad-
vantage over the insurgents, whereby the keen edge
of the sword of the opposition will be blunted.
FRANKFORT.—By an ordinance, dated the 16th
instant, the minister of the empire for the depart-
ment of war has notified to the ministers of war of
the different states of Germany that the Archduke,
regent of the empire, has taken the supreme com-
mand of the entire aimed force of Germany. Ho de-
sires the different ministers of war to assemble on
I parade, on the Gth of August, 1848, all the federal
troops of their respective garrisons; to inform them
that the Archduke Regent of the empire has taken
the supreme command of all the federal troops; to
read to them his highness's " appeal to the people ;"
and to make them give three rivals in token of
homage to the regent. From this day the federal
colours will be worn by the German army.
PItUSSIA.—The Berlin papers of the 22nd an-
nounce the arrival there of a papal envoy. The corn-
mission of the constitution has proposed to sweep
away game laws and seignorial rights. This did not
excite so much annoyance with the landed proprietors
as the plan of throwing more taxation upon them.
The eastern provinces, which represent the agricul-
tural interest, declare they are sacrificed to the west,
or manufacturing provinces. The raising the duty
on beetroot sugar; is a great grievance. M. Bulow
Cummerow is the Lord Chorge Bentiack of the Prus-
sian landed interest.

HESSE DARMSTADT.— Considerable agitation
prevails in Darmstadt, the minister deferring to make
any radical change in the constitution, the liberals de-
manding it.
