the Austrians would not enter, received from one of
the ministers the proclamation. announcing the fact,

ROMAN STATES.—Tee Coatimporpro of Rome,
of the 90th, states that several armed bands have
made their appearanes in the province of Aacoli to
uphold the cause of the Pope. On the 12th, one of
these bands occupied Montesano ; brought the priest
of that plow a letter from Oasts, overthrow the arms
of the republic, sad restored than of the Pope. Toe
same was done at Ansel& on the following day. A
few slight skirmishes bad taken place between these
bands and the troops of the republic.
NAPLES AND SICILY.—We find the following
in the Noweediats of Marseilles of the 27th ult. : " At
last we have news direct from Sicily up to the 23rd,
by the Sicilian steamer Indepailenes, which came
into wt yesterday. As oar last communication from

the complete pacification of the whole island is pro-
bably accomplished by this time. The Sicilian insur-
rection then is at an end. Nearly every member of
the %EP ministry, with its chief Roggleni Settimo,
esilissked ia the EWA skip Bellerophon for Malts.

with whom they have frequent frays, as by the
mob. The dragoons had been down at the

was mash greater, being drawn by curiosity to me
where the victims of the discharges of the military
fell. They pranced about a good deal, and hit the
curious tremendous whacks on the should,r with their

cleared left the constables to disperse groups.

M lonesome fire has occurred today at Rixdor4 a
suburb co the mouth. About sixty houses bays been
bunted down, and it seems not yet put out. Where
people stop to smoke a pipe between each pail of

fire to burn itself out.

AUSTRIA.—Tho following is the letter of our nor-
respondent:
VIENNA, Amu. 28.
Yesterday there was a rumour in the money-mar-
ket that the powder magazine in Komorn was
blown up. To-day we are informed that an imperial
vessel of transport, with 900 mhof ganpowdsr,in tow
of satearaer fromPresburg downwards, was blown up
by the cannon fire ofthe Mogan, who had a battery on
the left share of the Danube, opposite °Soya. Many
houses is that town had been destroyed by the explr
sion, and many lives were lost. The whole line
of the imp rial troops have now retired to the position
of Raab, their left wing lying still near Komorn, and
sending at intervals some shells into the fortress.
All regiments are to be increased by the addition
of one battalion, earth battalion wagering of
six companies of from ISO to 200 men. A complete
regiment will then number above 8,000 men. The
Magyars are advancing towards Vienna, on the left
side of the Danube ; they were partly arrived at Tyr-
mart three days ago. Probably Probablch the imperial army is
obliged to retire to the Marield, near Vienna, as
the only means of resisting the Magyars. The impe-
rial troops are entirely disorganised; the sergeant' and
officers of most of the companies are new men, and
the leading principle of the whole Aurrian army,
that of confidence in their superiors, fails entirely in
this moment. Our diplomatists are jealous or the
French expedition to Rome, which they regard as a
good trick to increase French inflame.

Lett-re from Pesth, of the 22nd olt., confirm the
news of the evacuation of that city by the imperialists.
The brigades of Schlick and °swirl had just left it.
The Ban was still ou the field erf Bales, but was ex-
pected at Perth. It is doubtful whether he has paned
throsgh that city to follow the rest of the army, or
embarked on the Danube to carry on operations in the
iimitata of the south. It also appears that, up to the
23rd, the imperialists were still in possession of Buda.
The same letters add that at Pesth the people
were displaying, is sight it may be said of the
imperialists, the Hungarian cockade and colours.
The streets presented the appearance of a show of
flowers and garland/. An illumination was prepar-
ing. The orthodox were hurrying away to Vienna.
Freeburg is being put in a state of defence with the
greatest haste. Bern has not gone in the direction of
Wallachia, as it was said, but hu marched toTemeswar.
On the maim of the 25th ult., the following
bulletin was published by Bohm :
According to °Saki reports just received, the corps., tem.
posed of its brigades, under Field-Marshal Lieut. Wobble-
south, occupies the wbole " lanais " from Belly*, Embassy,
Nyanza, and Boa, with Its left wing ',Wag upon the
Danubs. Nothing new has occurred on this line
According W several oonsoesat reports, the " gross" of
Georgey's seeps was advancing in the direction of Censors.
The isomentietion of the mein army on the right bank of
the Danube is proceeding without intermission, sad news of
decisive import is to be expected shortly from the seem of
WU.
A letter from Prague, of April 25th, gives the fol-
lowing account of the arrival of the late commander-
in-chief in Hungary : Yesterday evening, before 8,
arrived Prince Windier:l4M; by a special train,
literally the picture of falleintreatams. Wrapt in a
grey cloak, with his cap
spoiled over his brow, he
passed through the ranks o spectators who somehow
were there. It is said that the prince is going to re-
tire to Belgium, and that his sons have Felt the
Austrian service.
The following is from the Weiser Utmost of the
25th alt.:—" We are disquieted about Hungarian
affairs, but not oast down. In one respect we are not
sorry that the Hungarian war has, so to say, begun
°err asain, fur we have seen how little genuine the
Hungarian submission has fir the mast part beets.
The enemy has called all his forces into the field,
and they must be pat down by force. The spirit of
the present, and the elements of any More rebellion
must be annihilated on the field of battle. The fac-
tion of Boseuth has forefeited all claim to clemency.
The fortune of wet must decide whether the Leitha
is to be the boundary of barbarism, or whether civi-
lisation is to be pushed forward to the Black Sea.
Viewing this in this light, we can have no doubts as
to the issue of the war."
