GERMAN Y

AND

AUSTRIA.

By decree of the Bth Prince Windischgratz forbids
all communication, and all commercial relations, with
the Hungarian insurgents and the districts occupied
by them. By another decree, dated the 10th, all
the requisitions of the Imperialists are ordered
to be executed at the expense of the nobility, citizens,
and inhabitants of towns, who may have taken part in
the insurrection, and the property of landowners and
functionaries who may retire on the approach of the
Imperial army is to be confiscated.
A letter from Pesth, dated the 9th, addressed to a
Bohemian journal, says :—" At a sitting lately held
at Debreczin, a deputy proposed that the Emperor
Francis Joseph should be acknowledged as legitimate
King of Hungary. M. Nyary at once supported the
proposition, and Kossuth himself delivered a warm
speech in its favour. It was unanimously adopted.
It is said that there was added to this resolution an
express declaration that the principal motive for its
adoption was to prove to the European monarchies,
and above all to the great neighbouring powers, that
there was no intention of forming a great Sarmato
Magyar Republic.
A bulletin of the army of Hungary, published at
Vienna on the 15th, says that the Hungarians under
BEM were retreating towards Maros-Vasarhely, and
that the fortresses of Comorn and Peterwarden were
so completely surrounded, that it was expected that
they would shortly capitulate. The Vienna Gazette of
the 15th says, that in the engagement which preceded
the retreat, BEM lost 300 men and 85 prisoners. The
Breslau, Gazette announces that the Hungarians had
occupied Mohaez and Funf Kirchen, and that General
PERCZEL was, with 10,000 men, at eight miles from
Buda. The Hungarians were concentrating their
forces on that place. It was said, that WINDISCIP.
GRATZ had ordered, that Count Wiiniva should be
tried by court martial for having lost the battle of
Mezoekoewest, and compelled the Austrians to retire
,o Buda.

The Gazette of Upper Austria states that Prince
WiNniscuGuiaz has received orders to refrain from
all interference with the civil administration of Hun-
gary, which is reserved to JELLACHICEI as Governor

ALLEGED MURDER OF SCHUSELKA.
It was reported in Vienna on Thursday night that
SCHUSELKA, the late President of the Kremsier Diet,
had been seized on the morning of that day, taken
before a court-martial, and shot. We cannot credit
this report. If it be true, the authors of such atro-
cities as these are affording an ample ex post facto
justification of the doings of ROBESPIERRE and the
French terrorists in I 793,1 by proving that there was
much reason in the plea advanced at that period that
the massacres then perpetrated were in reality merely
measures of self defence.

RUSSIA.

All the regiments have been placed on a war
footing since the 15th of March, and each regiment
is furnished with the equipments of war. All
persons on furlough, capable of bearing arms,
have been recalled, and the Landsturm is
being raised. The latter are to occupy the
frontier, in case the regular troops should be obliged
to quit the country. The principal part of the troops
are concentrated on the south of the kingdom of
Poland, between Lublin and Sandomir, while the
corps darnde are assembled in the environs of Kowno.
The latter are to take up a position there against
Prussia. This measure has probably some reference
to the Danish question. Travellers state that the
object of these armaments continue to be enveloped in
mystery.—Cologne Gazette, March 19.

FRANKFORT.

At the sitting of the German Parliament on the
3d, the Minister of Justice laid before the llouse all
the documents relating to the execution of ROBERT
BLUM. Ordered to be referred to Committee.

The report of the Committee on the Austrian
question, that is to say, on the programme of the
central Ministry, was brought up and read. The
proposition of the majority of the Committee is to
the effect that the National Assembly support Minis-
ters in their rejection of the demand, on the
part of Austria, that the future Constitution
of Germany shall be made the subject of an agree-
ment between Austria and Germany. The majority
of the committee also propose to request Ministers to
carry on negotiations respecting the relations of the
non-German provinces of Austria with the German
Confederate State. The proposition of the minority
is simply to bestow on the Central Ministry the full
powers demanded in the programme of the 18th of
December, modified by the proposition of the sth
inst. The debate, it was expected, would be com-
menced on the 9th.

The German Parliament, in their sitting of the Bth,
decreed the abolition of public gaming places in all

On the 30th ult. a conflict took place in the
streets of Gotha, between the citizens and the sol-
diers of the garrison, whom the citizens wished to
be withdrawn from the city. The Commandant of
the Burgher Guard, therefore, called out his men,
and the• conflict ceased. The troops and the people
remained for a time in face of each other; but at
length the soldiers retired to their barracks without
taking any notice of the insults with which they
were loaded. A reinforcement of two companies
was sent for to Darmstadt. It is said that the Go-
vernment has in its hands convincing proofs of an
intention of making a manifestation against the Diet
a: soon as the garrison had quitted the town. The
authorities have issued a proclamation to the inha-
bitants, desiring them to avoid all further collision.
The soldiers wi:en on duty have their muskets loaded,
and are ordered to fire upon whoever may attack them.

SOUTHWARK.

Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, accompanied by the soli-
citor and other gentlemen connected with the London
and North-Western Railway Company, attended for the
purpose of making application for warrants against
three persons, two men and one woman, for conspiring
to commit a fraud against the company.
Mr. Clarkson, in describing the grounds upon which
he made the application, said that it involved matters
of the utmost importance as regarded the London and
North-Western Company, against whom it would be
satisfactorily proved that a most scandalous attempt
had been made by parties conspiring to de-
fraud them under the pretext that an accident
had occurred to one of the trains, by which it was
alleged that two persons were so seriously injured as to
incapacitate them from following their usual avocations.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state with mi-
nuteness the facts, from which it appeared, that in Oc-
tober an application was made to the company for re-
muneration by two persons, who represented that in
earning up from York, in a second class carriage, a col-
lision occurred at Leighton Buzzard, on the sth of July
previously, in consequence of which they received most
serious injuries; the man, it was alleged, had sustained
a hurt in the chest which produced hemorrhage from
the longs, and the woman, who was described as being
enciente at the period in question, had had a miscarriage,
and otherwise suffered severely from the effects of the
accident. The parties having laid their case before the
directors, suspicions were entertained that their state-
ments were concocted for the purpose of defrauding the
company, who refused to grant remuneration unless it
was satisfactorily proved that they bad sustained the
injuries they represented. In accordance, therefore,
with this intention, the company caused a rigid in-
quiry to be made into the circumstances, the result
of which was a discovery that the whole scheme had
been concocted by those against whom he made the ap-
plication for the sole purpose of defrauding the com-
pany, and that, in point of fact, no accident at all had
occurred to them, and he would prove by incontestable
evidence that the woman, who it was alleged had sus-
tained such serious injury, had not been in the train at
all. These persons had since issued writs against the
c,mpany, and their claim for compensation for the
alloged injuries was au each. Mr. Clarkson added that
he should produce, on this occasion, such evidence with
reLard to the transaction as would fully bear out his
statement of the facts, and that he was convinces the
magistrate would not hesitate in granting the applica-
tion. He then called forward two witnesses, who, on
being sworn, stated, that on the 4th of September, the
day on which the accident was alleged to have occurred,
the woman, who was represented to have had a miscar-
rie ow:ng to it, was at horn: ,tt h-
,vv
r n house in her
usual state of health.
A medical gentleman was next examined, and he said
that he went, by direction of the London and North-

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 11.—The Belgium papers state
that several questions are to be discussed at the Con-
gress, which it was not originally intended to bring
forward. Independently of the settlement of the
Lombardy Venetian affairs, the state of Rome and
the position of the Papacy occupy a foremost place.
Several of the Powers are said to be already agreed
upon one point, namely, that the maintenance of the
temporal power of the POPE is indispensable to the
peace, the honour, and the dignity of the Christian
world. Pius IX. is to be represented at Brussels by
a Legate a latere.
A splendid Burgherwehr feast has just taken place
at Antwerp, which quite recals the magnificence of the
ancient days of chivalrous grandeur. Nearly all the
Burgherwehr of the Kingdom was present at it.

ITALY.
The Alba, of Florence, states from Naples, 30th
ult., that the Sicilian army had retaken Milazzo, after
a sanguinary engagement, and obtained a complete
victory in the environs of Messina. A rumour was
current on that day, that the Sicilians had pro-
claimed Loui3 Murat King of Sicily. The same
paper announces the arrival at Naples of an En-
voy Extraordinary from the Russian Government.
This journal, which, however, is not a very good
authority, says that the Envoy is charged to inform
the King that the family of Bonaparte had deter-
mined to help Lucian Murat to the throne of Sicily,
should Louis _Napoleon obtain the Presidency of the
French Republic ; that Russia consequently advises
the King of Naples to attack Sicily immediately,
while the Russian troops were to enter Hungary i❑
case France arid England prevented the Neapolitan
expedition, and that Filangeri and the Russian Mi-
niiiter had gone to Gaeta, in consequence, together
with Sabatelli and Cariati.

The Contemporaneo, Roman journal, of the 3d inst.,
announces that General Zucchi arrived in the harbour
of Civita Vecchia in the French steamer Courier
Corse on the 31st ult. " His aid-de-camp," it
says, " came on his part to invite the dele-
gate to a conference with him on board the
steamer, the General being ill and unable to land.
The delegate having declined, the vessel weighed
anchor at two o'clock P.M., and proceeded in the di-
rection of Gaeta and Naples." In the evening of
the 2d a grand demonstration in favour of the Con-
stituent Assembly took place at Rome. The popu-
lation, the Civic Guard, and the troops of the garri-
son assembled on the square of Venice, and from
thence marched down the Corso to the Square of
the People, preceded by banners, torches, and mili-
tary bands. From this last square the cortege re-
paired to the Capitol, crying " Viva the Roman
Constituent, the Italian Constituent, and the Inde-
pendence of Italy." Then all the banners were placed
round the statue of Marcus Aurelius, and the Cava-
liere A. Rambaldi, having ascended the pedestal, read
the decree of the convocation of the Assembly, and
delivered the following address
" People of Rome, you arc about to accomplish a
great task; you may, if you wish, infuse vital force into
our unhappy .Italy, and unite our scattered members,
which the despots and the dark congregations of priests
are anxious to keep asunder. lam a priest of Christ,
and it is with the deepest conviction I call you from the
top of the Capitol to liberty and independence, because
the principle of your right eternally lives in the Gospel.
Viva the Roman Constituent, the initiative of the
Italian Constituent!"

Those words were received with enthusiastic ap-
plause, and the orator having recommended the peo-
ple to observe the calmness and dignity becoming a
truly civilized nation, the multitude instantly sepa-
rated in the greatest order.
The Concordia of the Bth inst. states that it was re-
ported at- Turin that Marshal Radetsky had published
an order of the day, in which he announced the im-
minent resumption of hostilities.

ITALY.

As BEVILACQUA has not succeeded in obtaining an
audience of the POPE at Gaeta, he has determined
not to act in the Governmental Commission nomi-
nated by the PoPE. General ZUCCIII is, it is said,
gone to Switzerland, declaring that he will no longer
serve the PONTIFF. The same resolution is said to
have been adopted by M. Ricci, of Macerata. A
Committee has been appointed to prepare a popular
catechism to instruct the people as to their duty in
the elections for the constituante, which is to be
taught the people by members sekcted from the
clubs. The Alba, of Florence, under date of Fer-
rara, the Ist inst., says that, by a recent order of the
Austrian Etat• Major, all persons are prohibited from
passing the Po, with the exception of the establish-
ments of St. Magdalen and Polesella.
The same journal states from Naples, that the
Bishop of SAVONA had arrived at Gaeta, charged with
a special mission to the POPE, by the Piedmontese
Government.

We read in the Costituente Italiana of Florence,
of thel4th, that on the 2d General FILANGIERI set out
for Gaeta on board the Capri. He has given orders,
also, for a steamer to be kept in readiness to take
him to Messina, where hostilities have commenced,
the Sicilians having been the first to attack the Nea-
politan army.

King CHARLES ALBERT has issued a royal ordon-
nance„dated January 5, adjourning the elections from
the 15th to the 22d, and fixing the Ist of February
for the meeting of Parliament. He has appointed
Count BORROMEO Sardinian Minister to the French
Republic.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th states, from
Modena, Ist instant, that on the day before, the
men of the light cavalry regiment paraded the
town in patrols, and without provocation fired
some shots, wounding a poor Jew, named MODENA,
in the leg, while on his way to the post-office,
and committing other acts of ferocity, upon which
the Civic Guard immediately assembled, and pa-
trolled the, city, to prevent collisions. The Aus-
trian commander went to the staff of the Civic
Guard, and declared he highly disapproved of the
conduct ()Phis cavalry, who had acted thus without
his knowledge. In the evening the municipality as-
sembled, and after a long discussion decided that they
should retire en masse, as well as all the officers of
the Civic Guard.
Advices from Fivizzano of the Ist say that that
place has within five or six days assumed the aspect
of a place of war. Five hundred troops and a bat-
tery of artillery had arrived. •
A letter from Mantua of the 31st says :—" Within
five days our frontier will be completely armed for
war."

The Milan Gazette says that the Austrian Go-
vernment has resolved to convoke a diet of Lombardo-
Venetian deputies at Vienna.

HOLLAND.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. 9.—lt appears from the com-
parative state of the importations and exportations of
merchandise' by the, Rhine, that the exports from
Amsterdam for the various Rhenish ports, which
amounted in 1847 to 2,056,132 cwts. fell in 1848 to
221,592 cwts. The imports were 566,998 cwts. in
1848, whereas in 1847 they were 787,530. This is
a considerable decline both in the import and export
trade.

ILLNESS OF THE PRINCE OF ORANGE.—JAN. 10.
—A report has been circulated during the last few
days that the Prince of ORANGE has been struck with
an aberration of mind. Certain French newspapers
have even added, that in consequence of this catas-
trophe there was a question of transmitting the here-
ditary rights of the Crown to the son of his Royal
Highness. This unfounded report we must most
positively contradict. It is true that the Prince of
ORANGE has been indisposed, but his indisposition had
nothing whatever of a serious character it was,
indeed, so slight that nothing whatever was thought
of it here.

There was a grand Court dinner yesterday, to
which Count LADISLAUS KAROLTE, major in the
service of the Archduke JOHN of Austria, was, for the
first time, invited.

The KING continues to be engaged in almost daily
Cabinet Councils with his Ministers, and they are
usually of long duration. On the Bth there was an
eTening Council from seven to twelve.
ROTTERDAM, JAN 9.

THE CHOLERA.—We are glad to be able to give a
favourable report of the health of the city. The
cholera, it is true, has not altogether disappeared;
yesterday, however, only two fresh cases occurred, and
one death. At Dordrecht there was only one case,
and one recovered. In some localities it has entirely
disappeared.—Dutch Papers, Jan. 10.
