GERIIIANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

It was rumoured at Vienna on the 10th that a
Russian force had entered Transylvania, ,and
had occupied Cronstadt and Hermanstadt.
The Austrian Ministers had, however, re-
ceived no intelligence of the entry of the
Russians into Transylvania. Prince WINDISCHGRkTZ
having withdrawn the Austrian troops from the
Comitat of Gran to reinforce the army opposed to
DEMBINSKI, the peasants of the Comitat immediately
revolted, trampled the Imperial Eagle under foot, and
mounted the Hungarian cockade; they have de-
stroyed the bridge of boats over the Danube,
established by SIMONVICII, and have recognised
the Hungarian Government. The Austrian Colonel
Count MoNrEcucou has been taken prisoner by the
Hungarians who are now in possession of the towns
of Kmwst and Kerruster. Prince WINDISCHGRATZ
has prohibited the inhabitants of the districts in pos-
session of Austria from attending the fair of Kerruster.
The Austrians have been repulsed in a sortie made
from Terneswar, and that city has been bombarded by
the Hungarians.
Troubles have broken out among the Croats,
who declare that Jxukcinca has sacrificed Croatia
to Austria. They now break out into execrations
against the BAN who has deceived them. At Agram the
portrait of the EMPEROR was dragged through the mud.
Bohemia and Gallacia are both ripe for an outbreak.

PRUSSIA.
A Royal ordonnance has appeared, directing the
re-organization of the Burgher Guard.

FRANKFORT.
On the 12th reports were rife in Frankfort of
disturbances at Hochst, in Nassau, in consequence of
the unwillingness of the inhabitants to quarter fresh
troops, the recent garrison having been removed.
Prussian artillery were dispatched thither by rail ;
the people withstood the military. No bloodshed,
however, ensued ; and now all is quite.
The health of the Archduke Administrator is gra-
dually improving.
In the sitting of the 12th, after the discussion on
tins Austrian note, a report of which appeared in The
Sun of yesterday, Allurriror read the following inter-
pellations :
" 1. Had the Ministry taken steps to secure a partici-
pation in the Congress assembled in Brussels for a solu-
tion of the Italian question—a participation, that is to
say, which responded to the power and honour of the
German nation?
" 2. Supposing that the Imperial Ministry had not
pp
preserved for itself its rightful influence in the develop-
ment of Italian affairs, what instructions had it given, or
did it intend to give, to the Plenipotentiary appointed to
attend the Congress by the Central Power—
" (a). In reference to the independence of Venice and
Lombardy.
" (b). In reference to the edict issued by the Tuscan
Ministry concerning the formation of an Italian consti-
tuent power.
" (c). In reference to the late movement in Rome and
the relations of the Pope to the Government of the eccle-
siastical state.
" (d). In reference to the definitive subjection of Sicily
to the King of Naples."
The order of the day led to a brief discussion of two
of the outstanding sections of the " fundamental rights,"
the only featUre in the result of divisions that is worth
remark being, that a clause of sec. 43, assigning a gene-
ral armed burgher force to every German parish or com-
mune, was rejected.
