AUSTRIA.

Intelligence has been received from Vienna, of the
25th ult. The utmost agitation prevailed in the city
on account of the advance of the Hungarians. Should
the Hungarian army appear under the walls of Vienna
the Viennese would rise upon the garrison, and open
the gates of the city to their Magyar deliverers.
The Constitutional Gazette of Vienna, of the 24th,
says:—
" Though the tranquillity of our city has not yet been
disturbed, the news of our ill success in Hungary has pro-
duced a strong effect upon the populace. The streets are re-
gularly patrolled, nut the public-houses are filled with the
factious, and cries of Kos>uth for ever I' are frequently
heard. The workmen seem prepared to enter anew on the
political arena. It is said that they intend, in case Kossuth
attacks Vienna, to rise en masse, in order to join him. The
public consternation is extreme; every one wishes to pro•
cure gold and silver, and the bankers and money broker's
offices are besieged by multitudes."

The Hungarians have been as successful on the Lower
as they have been on the Upper Danube. They bom-
barded and burned Carlovitz on the 16th, and they have
sent large quantities of arms and munitions of war from
Agram to 6emlin, by Sisacok. PERCZEL entered Ker.
kovah without meeting the least resistance.
The Miniverial journal, the Austrian Lloyds, says:—
" We must evacuate Pesth and Buda, raise the siege of
Comorn, abandon all the forts and strong places in Hungary
—in fine, assemble all the Imperial forces on one point, to
obtain a decisive result. If we are victorious, we shall soon
regain all we have lost, and we are sure that we shall care-
fully preserve what we shall thus regain."
The Wiener Zeitung publishes a Government procla-
mation on the subject of the Hungarian war, in which,
after bumming up the events since the commencement
of the war, the Austrian Cabinet protests that the fate
of Hungary must have its decision on the field of battle,
and that the Austrian Ministers and generals will act
exclusively with this view of the question.
" Our enemies (these are the words of the proclamation)
must be fought with. It is necessary to rout them, and to
annihilate them, and until this shall have been accomplished
no attention whatever can be paid to anything besides this
grand object."
The proclamation concludes by stating that most ener-
getic measures are being taken to attain the object in
view, and that no bulletin will be published, nor the
.further
movements of the Imperial forces divulged to the public,
and that the Austrian patriots ought to be satisfied with
the knowledge that a gallant army, led by able generals,
defends the Cause of Austria in Hungary.
Tho Breslau Zcitung contains the following important
intelligence:—
" I hasten to inform you, that in consequence of the total
defeat of the Imperial army between Gran and the Danube,
when 12,000 Austrians fell under the swords and bayonets of
the Hungarians, and on their retreat fell a prey to the waves,
General Welden is compelled to an immediate evacuation of
Pesth and Ofen The greatest disorder has prevailed the
whole day. In a placard Welden calls upon the two great
cities to grant a perfectly safe retreat to the remnants of the
Imperial army. Report says that Kossuth, by desire of the
city, has granted the Imperialists an armistice of 48 hours
for evacuating Pesth and then. The Hungarians are to
make their entry to-morrow. The greatest joy prevails
there."

The Cologne Gazette, in an article dated Vienna, the
24th, says—" After this defeat of the Imperial troops,
there can be no further question, at present, at least, of
a concentration of the Austrian army.

The same journal says the I.lungt;rians are preparing
to make head against the Russians. The Diet of De.
breczin has ordered a new levy of 200,000 recruits,
100,000 of them to be raised in Transylvania.
VIENNA, Aram 26.—The Wiener Zeitung of this
day says—
" Field-Marshal Lieutenant Von Bohn makes known
as follows—

" According to intelligence just received, the corps
d'armee of F. M. Lieutenant• General Wohlgemuth,
consisting of six brigade►, has occupied with
the left wing the whole terrain from Sellze,
Esseriessey, INyarazd, and Bos, as far as the
Danube, on which line nothing of importance has tran-
spired since the last reports. Concurrent accounts state
that the main body of the corps of General Georgey is
moving in the direction towards Comorn. The Con-
centration, alluded to on the right bank
of the Danube, of the troops belonging to
the chief army, is in full progress, and decisive intelli-
gence may, therefore, be soon expected from the theatre
of war.
(Signed) " Baron VON BoHN."
G7tATz, APRIL 23.—Within the course of a few
weeks two thousand five hundred recruits will be
raised in those parts of Ifungary occupied by
the Imperial troops. They are to form the 3d Hunga-
rian battalion. and each regiment will be reinforced or
completed by 960 men. A division is also to be formed
for the Ist Regiment of Ilussars, stationed in Prossintz,
for the 3d, stationed in Trodpan, and the 9th, stationed
in Radkersburg. Various other reinforcements will be
made in the army.---Lloyds.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 25.—The evening before last,
the Minister of the Interior made the following com•
municat ion :

The Ministers: find themselves called upon (in conse-
quence of the entry of the enemy into Jutland, which after
the cessation of the armistice, and the conduct of the Cen-
tral Power in sending so many troops in the Duchies, was to
be foreseen) to declare, That this event will not induce
them to depart from the course hitherto taken for the nego-
tiations for peace. The Government hopes the Assembly
will continue their important negotiations.'"

THE ULTIMATUM OF THE KING

---- • OF DENMARK.
His Majesty the King of Denmark and the Provi-
sional Central Power of Germany having accepted the
offer made by the Crown of Great Britain to mediate
in the differences which have unfortunately arisen
between the Crown of Denmark and Germany, and
both parties having agreed to negotiate as to the basis
of a peace on the pricciple proposed by her Britannic
Majesty's Government, in regard to the future posi-
otifontheof
rtelsiepecdtuivcehypaorftieSschmleeatwitgh,is
day the Plenipotentiaries
for the purpose
of discussing the proposal, and settling the principle
for such an arrangement. But, taking into considera-
tion that the armistice signed at Malmoe, on the
26th of August last, will expire on the 28th instant,
and that, in order that the negotiations may be sue
cessfully carried on, it is essential that a further sus-
pension of hostilities should take place ; and consi-
dering. moreover, that in consequence of the expira-
tioncortntoinamedovernment, which, by
u o
and by reason of the
the of
e
nti common
of Malmoe, was appointed to
dissolutionv

ve
carry on provisionally the administration of the duchies
of Holstein and of Schleswig, it has become necessary
to make some fresh provision for the administration of
these duchies during the time that hostilities shall be
suspended, and until the conclusion of a definitive treaty
of peace, the aforesaid plenipotentiaries have agreed upon
the following preliminary articles:—
Art. I.—The Duchy of Schleswig shall have a sepa
rate constitution with respect to its special legislation
and internal administration, without being united with
the Duchy of Holstein, and leaving intact the political
union which connects the Duchy of Schleswig with the
Crown of Denmark.
Art. 2.—The armistice signed at Malmoe on the 26th
of August last year is entirely out of force on the
26th instant, with the exceptions that the final settle-
ment I the claims as stipulated in the sth article
isr oeserved, and that the administration instituted
in the Duchy of Lanenburgh, in consequence
of Article 9 of the said convention, shall con-
tinue provisionally in activity. There shall, neverthe-
less, continue to bo a suspension of hostilities both by
land and by sea from the 2ith instant till the 26th
of April next inclusive, at which time the suspen-
sion of hostilities shall be regarded as having expired,
unless expressly renewed. During the armistice,
the continental territories of the Duchies of Holstein
and of Schleswig shall not be occupied either by German
or by Danish troops, however with the restrictions and
reservations mentioned in the following articles 3 and 4.
Art. 3.—For the purpose of preserving order and for
carrying on the detailed administration of the two
Duchies during the interval which may elapse before a
definitive treaty of peace shall be concluded, it is agreed
that the Duchy of Holstein shall be administered by a
temporary administration proposed ;by the provisional
central power of Germany, confirmed by his Majesty the
King of Denmark in his quality as Duke of Holstein,
and instituted by both, while the King of Denmark alone
shall appoint and institute the provisional administration
for Schleswig. These administrations to be composed
of natives of the two Duchies, shall begin their func-
tions on the 27th of this month, and continue to ex-
ercise them till the conclusion of a definitive treaty of
peace. But the functions so to be exercised by them shall
be purely executive and administrative, and shall not
have any legislative character. These two administra-
tions shall be bound to act with complete impartiality
as regards persons both of Danish and of German
race. With regard to Schleswig, all laws and ordi-
nances promulgated after the 18th of March, 1848 are
to be considered as null and void. His Majesty's
administration shall, nevertheless, have the right to
put in force such of these laws and ordinances as
may be considered necessary. A limited number
of troops shall be employed for the mainte-
nance of order in the duchies, in Holstein not
exceeding her contingent to the army of the German
confederation, in Schleswig a Danish military force of
3,000 or 4,000 men, as far as possible composed of
natives of Schleswig, with the exception only of such as
have served in the new dissolved, so called, Schlewig-
Holstein army.
Art. 4. In case the execution of these dispositions
should meet with resistance or disorders in the
duchies and should render necessary the employment
of a greater military force, the King of Denmark has
