PRUSSIA.--Ose essgsapsedest writes:
BERLIN, Aro. 31.
In the sitting of the Second Chamber on the 30:h,
the finance minister said that he had, in compliance
with the orders of his majegy, to lay the budget for
1848 and '49 before the chamber. The deficit of
5,608,000 tbalers is completely covered by thu slur-
ping of the foregoing year. The voluntary loan, toge-
ther with the surplus revenue, made up 6,442,014
:dialers. Therefore there remained in favour of the

exchequer a balance of 834,014 dealers. This sum
had hitherto sufficed to cover the extraordinary ex-
penditure, and to make any new loan unnecessary.
' However, in the uncertainty as to whit might be the
expenditure required by the war, a loan of 1,373,000
thane was contracted by the treasury, which was
not, indeed, absolutely needed, as matters turned out,
end can now be reptud.
A diplomatic note is said to have been presented to
the government by the Austrian minister. Some
pretend that this communication allows Prussia all
fur which she has been contending through the league
of the three kings, bat insists upon tho o preten-
sions not being carried south of the Maine,
and claims a reciprocal liberty for Austria
to form a southern Bucdstaat after her taste, which

would include Bavaria and Wurtemberg. Others
hold that the conritutional system can never be so
uprooted from the two kingdoms mentioned u to
abolish popular representation, and CAA the Austrian
note has reference to the proposition indicated in the
speech of M. Radowitz, of a provisional central power
to manage the joint interests of those states which
refuse to join the league of the three hinge.

AUSTRIA.—Viecna dates are to August 29.
According to private letters from Semlin of the
25th, Bem, Kossuth, and Dembinski had arrived in
Turkish Ors we. Up to the 22nd the Pasha had not
given them liberty to proceed further.
News from Jassy states that the Polish legion of
800 men had laid down arms at the frontier. Letters
of the 28. h from Peeth announce the occupation of
Orsowa by the Austrian troops. Kossuth, Bem, and
Dembinsky were still on the left bank on the 24th.
Letters from Buchareet of the 17th instant state
that Perczel had arrived in Gnaws, and sent two
officers to the Pasha in the fortress of Adakale or
Turkish Ore wa, soliciting refuge for himself, his
men, and officers. The Pasha agreed, pr..vided all
hid down arms, which was done; whereupon the
NlagTars were ferried over into the fortress. The
Russian consul vapoured tremendously about this.
According to the same advice; travellers arrived by
the mall at Bucharest from Croostadt, reported that
Bem bad been made prisoner at Biksi by Luders. But
as Bern was at perfect liberty on the 14th, his capture
after that date could not be known at Bucharest on
the 17th.
The following is, according to the Warsaw aerie",
the list of the Hungarian generals, who submitted on
the 13th of August by means of calitteation :—The
Commander-in-Chief, General Arthur Ocergey ; the
General of Division Ernst Kisch, Governor of Hun-
gary ; the Major-Generals, Aulich (uccommissiosed);
Alexander Nagy, Corps Commandant ; Baron Poet-
tenberg, the same; Count Karl Leiningen, the same;
Knissitsch, of the reserve • Schweydel (uncommis-
stoned) ; Laner, Inspector Of Arms. The following
members of the former Hungarian government and of
the diet joined the troops which capitulated.
Ludwig Techanji, minister; Franz Duachek,
minis-
ter; S:egmund B. Pertnyi, supreme judge; Karl
Saes, secretary of state; John Jeseenak, vice-sheriff,
and a number of others.
Tee Hungarian news will soon lose its int( nee in-
terest for the English reader; the cause of liberty
and of a nation's independence has succumbed to
brute violence and overwhelming odds; henceforth
we shall only have to report submissions end capitula-
tions the burning of Kossuth's notes, condemnations
by Austrian drum-head courts martial and executions
by hanging or shooting. Even the memory of the
martyrs to their country's independence will live alone
in the hearts of their surviving countrymen. We
gave yesterday Haynau's amnesty for the privates
and non-commissioned officers but this was no mea-
sure of mercy, but policy. He has shown no magna-
nimity or forbearance to the leading officers, but given
full loose to the instinct of the butcher. Not alone
towards these has his ferocity been displayed. Thus,
for instance, six women have been condemned to seve-
ral week's imprisonment for trying to get rid of some
Kowuth notes, which the whole nation had equally
been guilty of, a poor private tutor to two months
prison for the same hellions offence. A notary has
been shot for inviting the mai& to rise. But this is
not all; Baron Auffenburg has been banged at Arad
and Count Leiningen shot; 16 Hungarian zobles in
the same place, seeing no chance of mercy, or feeling
despair, are said to have committed suicide ; Go n.
Aulich is reported to be of the number. This is the
Seem potation of a country, but not pacification.
Pen Ssemere, the Hungarian minister of the interior
bas sees mad. Gmrgey is still with Paskiewich.
Lloyd gives news of the 27th tilt. from Raab, ac-
cording to which Kosauth's three children, with their
governess, were captured • as likewise the Baroness
fiplenyi, with teethes. children,and Madame Guyon.
We wonder whither they too are all to be shot; for
the thing is not new, and did not Russia set the
example, by shooting women before regiments, and
flogging them with the knout? As for the poor
Jews, it would seem that Haynau does not consider
them as men at all, far less 'seeming under the terms
of his own proclamation and amnesty to the inhabi-
tant' of '‘ this unfortunate land," as be is pleased to
designate it, after having laid it waste with the die-
position and savage cruelty of an Attila. He has
imposed on the Jews in the Banat, for their horrid
crime of sympathieing with the Hungarian cause,
which he translates into bad feelings and supporting
of the rebels, the contr.bution of 100,000 knapsacks,
10,000 cloaks for the foot, soldiers. 10,000 pair of
Hungarian shoe', and 5,000 pair of half boot,. The
articles must be delivered within four months. For
every day's grace (d la Haynau) after this period a
carielltyd of 1,000 Austrian florins is held over their
heads. The Jews in Arad have not come off
scot free. Haynau seems to be disappointed of his
prey for once ; since the Jews have turned Christians'
in a body the whole population has declared itself
insolvent, and proved it too, by demonstrating that
what messy they had was in Kossuth note., whisk
Horan would fain seise, no doubt, had he not by Ms
own previous measures rendered them of no vales
himself as well as to others.
The correcondeat to the Independence Beige d'
Sept. the 2nd, writes from Vienna, and stye there
was a report there on the 29th alt., to the effect that
Generals Auliek and Vetter had been made pri-
soners by the Austrian', and Lad been shot immedi-
ately • others say that both had shot themselves.
Details have at last reached us respecting an lusty-
region of the Austrian primroses of war in Comoro,
while the greater part of the garrison was making its
victorious sally as tar as Raab, A white flag had
