We are still without journals direct from Vim*
later than the 25th ult. We were enabled in alm
edition last night to publish the following, from ea
extraordinary supplement of the Deutsche Reformat

porations of Vienna declared that it was out of

on the 27th some bombs had been thrown I
into the suburbs and had set some houses on fire.
All then became quiet until the 28th, when the dies
arming not having taken place, the bombardment
commenced in the morning."
"So far (says the a',ove journal) is our intelli-
gence derived from an authentic source. The follow-
mg," adds the same journal, " is from a letter, dated
Breslau, Oct. 29, the correctness of which we do not
guarantee :—' The emphyes on the Vienna rail-
way have brought a copy of the following telegne
pine dispatch, forwarded yesterday through Olmtitz:
—General Wias to the Minister Von Weseenherg in
Olmdtz. Yesterday (the 28th) at 11 a.m., WM.
dischgratz began the attack en all sides. The
Schoenhals battalion. which stormed the first barri-
cade, situated at the entrance of the Jagerzeil, and
defended by twelve pieces of artillery, has been to-
tally destroyed (iatienflyerietwn worden). Later in the
day, the barricade was taken by the Jager corps and
the grenadiers. 'The troops have penetrated as far as
the Karla Theatre. The Louisenstrasse and Franz-Allee
suburbs are in flames. The leaders of the students
have tied."
The Berlin Stoats Anzeiger of the 31st tilt, com-
menting on the above telegraphic despatch, says:—
" From other credible sources we are enabled to state
that the attack on the town did actually commence
on the 28th, soon after 10 o'clock. Respecting the
events which immediately preceded it, we have re-
ceived the following intelligence from the environs of
Vienna;—Prince Ih'indischgratz had twice extended
the terms of respite; the last term expired of
the evening of the 27th. On that day there was as
almost entire cessation of arms. Two large fires
were seen in the city or its immediate vicinity. The
Prince had notified to the communal council that he
should consider it responsible for all the damage
which might be sustained by the city, from the neces-
sary measures of violence. Some individuals who
escaped from the city with the greatest difficulty
stated that the armed people forced their way even
into the inns, and compelled strangers to take part in
the combat
The following details are derived from a variety of
journals :—On the 26th a fresh deputation of the Diet
proceeded to Olmatz. in order to set forth, in the
name of the Assembly, the illegality of the proclama-
tions of Wincliseherratz, and their hostile tendency not
only with reference to the rights of the people, bat
also to the constitutional throne.
Residences had been prepared in Olinetz for the
diplomatic corps. There have been some partial en-
counters already between the advanced poets of the
Croatian army and the Hungarians. During more
that a week no post had arrived in Vienna from
Berlin, Paris, Prague, or Petah.
The Vienna papers which reached Berlin on the
31st bear the date of the 25th only, the regular wit
having failed both on that and the previous day.
Their contents, in consequence of the great importance
of the events posterior to that date, do not possess
much interest. The following particulars, however,
are gleaned from them. The cannonading which was
heard on the afternoon of the 23rd ult., on and near
the Nussdorf aide of the Danube, was occasioned by
the successful attempt of the imperialists to throw a
pontoon over the river for the passage of their artil-
lery and baggage waggons. The citizens replied
from the Wahrinzer, Friedhof and the Nussdorf line
to the firing of the troops.
On the 24th the imperialists had taken up their
station in front of the Nussdorf, Wahringer, Marxer-
dorf, and Favoriten lines (which may be termed the
external boulevards of the city), and had discharged
before 1 p.m. some 35 cannon shot against the first-
named line.
On the 24th provisions had become scarce and dear
, . ...

in Vienna. Wh'ole families were removing from place
to place, with all their valuables about their persona
The want of water was much felt, the water-pipes (se
before stated) having been cut off by the military.
The Hungarian army—some 50,000 strong—were,
up to the 27th, still on the Hungarian side of the
Leitha.
Oar correspondent at Berlin, writing on the 30th,
says "I have learned in a weL-informed quarter,
that Lord Ponsonby, the Minister in Vienna,
remained in that capital up to the last
moment, and that he was obliged to get,
at last, permission from Windischgralz to leave
it. It is believed in the quarter to which I
have alluded, that his lordship has not gone
to Olmtits. I may add here that, on various
grounds (to which it is just now unnecessary to
allude) the account which the Deutsche Reform has
guaranteed may be fully relied upon."
On the 25th alt., the Bohemian members of the
Diet, Palacky and Pinker, went to Olmtitz and saw
the Emperor ; they bore with them a declaration of
the whole of the Bohemian members, to the effect,
that it was their determination not to re, urn to Vienna,
and that they would not be answerable for anything
that might happen in Bohemia should the Emperor
refuse to transfer the seat of the Diet from Vienna to
anther city of the empire.
PRUSSIA.—We have the Berlin journals of the
31st ult. Much excitement has been created thereby
the arrest, on the 30th, of two members of the i.ento-
cratic congress, now assembled in that capital.
Letters from Silesia describe the slate of that pro-
vince as one of the greatest excitement, prodaced by
the events in Vienna. Troops are pouring into
Silesia, and disturbances are expected in the event
of the Viennese proving victorious.

FRANKFORT, Ocr. 29
While at Vienna Jellachich by the sabre, and Win.
dischgratz by cannon balls, arc deciding the Austria!
queetlon, at Frankfort the parliament has deemed it
necessary to decide it by words. Futurity will shoe
whether artillery or words are to gain the day. Tis
Frankfort parliament has declined to interfere dr
rectly in the affairs of Vienna : it feared g Intel
weaken ministers and the central power by aduptal
the resolutions of Venedey. In this we think thr
parliament was wrong ; for the ord.rs which Mesas

Schmerling had given to his commisaioners,
