GERMANY.

Lebenyi was executed at Vienna on Saturday
morning, seven days after his attack on the Empe-
ror. His repeated examinations disclosed nothing to
implicate others in the guilt of the act for which he
suffered. His talk was always excited and often
wild and incoherent. Hungary harassed by gen-
darmes was his constant theme. Some revolutionary
emblems have been found at his lodging, but no cor-
respondence. It is stated that the father of the cul-
prit was condemned for taking part in the Hungarian
insurrection.

The Vienna bourse was violently agitated on the
26th ult. by the unsatisfactory rumours respecting
Turkey.
On the 21st ult., a newspaper, called the Volkebote,
was seized at Munich on account of a violent article
against England. Of course the British minister at
Munich was a stranger to this needless proceeding.
A correspondent writes from Pesth to the Augs-
burg Gazette, on the 19th ult.:—" The despatch
communicating intelligence of the attempt on the
Emperor was received at Emil on the SIM day, at
five o'clock, and the news was at once imparted
to the troops in barracks. Every precaution was
redoubled, and patrols marched throughout the
streets as seriously as in time of war. Numerous
arrests were at once made, and five of the prisoners
were sent off to Vienna. Great military preparations
are made, a battery stands in the Neuegebaiide,
where the political prisoners are confined, the can-
noniers have their matches lighted. A company of
artillery has arrived from Comorn, and the garrison
is to be reinforced by two infantry regiments.
Detachments of cavalry have been stationed in the
villages around Pesth. Yesterday an infantry officer
was attacked near the Uelkier barracks by three
men, one of whom he wounded and succeeded is
securing, but the others fled."

VIENNA, Fss. 23.
The excitement which followed the events at
Milan, and the attack on the Emperor, has sufficiently
subsided to allow Count Leiningen's Turkish mis-
sion to resume its place as the chief question of the
day. For the last month, people have seen and
heard of preparations for war with Turkey, on a
scale too large to be reconciled with a trivial disa-
greement or an irresolute policy, and now, all that
can be learned is that Count Leiningen has suffered
a repulse. Rumours of every kind are rife, bat
we live under a government which has faith
in secrecy. Last evening the ministerial
Oast Correspondent came oat with an arti-
cle contradicting the report that Austria de-
manded of Turkey the surrender of the two tongues
of land called Bleck and the Butorrina, which run
down from the Turkish territory through Austrian
Dalmatia to the Adriatic. This denial does not count
for much, since it is followed by the admission that
Austria disputes the right of Turkey to approach
those parts of its own territory by water. The
public have failed to draw confidence from this
morsel of uswance, for the bourse is agitated, and
exchange on London is at 110. Mks. If now
during all this while the Austrian cabinet is pursuing
a wise and moderate policy, and, if the fears of
merchants and other citizens are groundless, the
fault lies at the door of the government. The autho-
rities have from time to tune manifested their com-
plete control of the press by suspensions, confisca-
tions, and warnings, based on the the most trifling
considerations, andyet have lately permitted the news-
inpapers to circulate the most exciting reports, the most
ftmmatory appeals against the Turkish state.
More than this, a state document has lately been '
made public, in which Turkey is carved out by anti-
cipation, the public law of Europe has been treated
as non-existent, and the right to divide and
inherit the Ottoman domininions is reserved ab-
solutely to Austria and Russia. After all,
however, the responsibility of commencing a
war in the present state of Europe and of the
Austrian monarchy is as terribly apparent, that
apart from the violence which a territorial sarco-
mas upon Turkey would do to public law and the
conservative idea on which Austria lives, it is bard
to believe that arms will have to decide between Con-
stantinople and Vienna. International crises gene-
rally end by exhibiting in a stronger light the dread
with which even military nations regard war.
Two years ago, Austrians and Prussians, sword
in hand, met in Hesse, and war appearcd
inevitable, but was averted. It is true that
Russia, whose preponderating influence in Tur-
key is so vaunted, is in the present instance a
co-clemandant with Austria at the Porte ; but then
it was so likewise in 1849 and 1850, when the extra-
dition of the refugees was required. From the
failure which attended the joint attempt of the two
courts then, we may learn not to attribute too much
power to them now. But will England and France
feel that interest in the Turkey governed by Aali
Pacha which led them to stand by the late reforming
Grand Vizier P

The crowned heads of the continent have been
among the first to feel the extreme turpitude of the
crime which imperilled the life of the Emperor.
Generals and princes have arrived in rapid succes-
sion from Florence, Berlin, and Dresden, and
ono sovereign, the Duke of Modena, comes it
person the bearer of his own sympathies for the
Austrian monarch. It is said that the telegraphic
despatch by which Louis Napoleon expressed his
gladness at the narrow escape of his imperial brother,

was placed on the electric wire immediately by the
hands of its author. In the Austrian monarchy itself
the lieutenants of the several provinces and crown
lands have improved the occasion to get up a mani-
festation of loyalty, a kind of counter demonstration
against the much be-spoken activity of the revolu-
tionists. At Agram the Ban has figured in another
of those impassioned exhibitions of oratory in which
he appears to so much advantage. The oidcial report
informs us that "the words of the Ban called forth
stormy civic°, as, fired with inspiration, he aihno-
nished all to be ready to offer up life and blood for
the beloved monarch." This, however, was to the
civil and military officers of the imperial govern-
ment. To the people he says that the government
has both the means and the energy to put down all
revolutionary attempts, and, like Radetzky at Milan,
he will not be satisfied with a mere negative and per-
functory obedience, but expects that every one will
heartily take up the part of the government, and
make it his own. From Prague, Ohnutz, Presbarg,
and Venice, reports of similar demonstrations, in all
cases accompanied with religious pomps, reach us.
He, a public bodies, as well is individuals and private
associations, which for any reason desire to stand
well with the government, come forward with dona-
tions to the poor, and gifts to the army, in comme-
moration of the Soveraign's deliverance. The bar of
Vienna, with that fraternal regard for a collateral
profession which one always likes to see,haveresohed
