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, qnd oprn
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 Hurgary has pro-
duced a strong effect upon the populace. The streets are re-
gularly patrolled, but the public-houses are filled with the
factious, and cries of Kossuth for ever !' are frequently
heard. The workmen seem prepared to enter anew on the
plitical 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•
mire 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 tho Upper Danube. They bom-
barded and burned Cl.rlovitz on the 16th, and they have
sent large q rantities of arms anti munitions of war from
Agram to Serially, by SLacolz. PEnczEL entered Tier-
kovah ut meeting the L ast resistance. •

Tlie Dlinisterial
.journal, the Austrian Ile yds, says:—
" We must evacuate Pesth and Buda, raise the siege of
Conlon), abandon all the farts 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 Gentili!) publishes a Government procla-
mation on the subject of the Hungarian war, in which,
after summing up the events since tl.e commencement
of the war, the Austrian Cabinet protests that the fate
of Hungary must have its decision on tha field of battle,
and that the Austrian Ministers aid 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, aud until this shall have bee❑ accomplished
no attention whatever can be paid to anything besides this
grand object."
The proclamation concludes by stating that most ener-
gt tic measures are being taken to attain the object in
view, and that no buletin 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 cans" of Austria in Hungary.
The Breslau Zeitung contains the following important
in tdl igcr ce :
" I hasten to inform you, that in consequence of Ilia total
defeat of the Imperial army between Gran and the Danube,
when P2,C00 Austrians fell under the swords and bayonets of
the Hungarians, and on their retreat fell a prey to the waves,
General \Velden 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 aen. The Hungarians are to
make their entry to-morrow. The greatest joy prevails
there."

The Cologne G'azttte, in an article dated Vienna, the
24th, sap—" After this defeat of the Imperial troops,
there cm be no further question, at present, at least, of
a concentration of ti.e Austrian army.

The same j(arrnal says the Hungarians are preparing
to make h::ad against the Russians. The Diet of De
breca'n has ordered a new levy of 200,000 recruits,
100,000 of them to he raised in Transylvania.
VIENNA, Arun 26.—The H iener Zeitung of this
day says—
Field-Marshal Lieutenant Von Bohn mukcs known
us follows—

" According to intelligence just received, the corpx
d'annee of F. M. Lieutenant-General Wohlgemuth,
consisting of six brigades, has occupied with
the left wing the whole terrain from Sellze,
Eiseriessey, .Nyarazd, 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, sPuded 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.

weeks two thousand five hundred recruits will be
raised in those parts of Hungary occupied by

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 25.—The evrning before List
the Minister of the Interior made the following corn.
rauniewion:—

" 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
to negotiate as to the basis
proposed by her Britannic
Majesty's Government, in regard to the future posi-
tion ot the duchy
othe having
principle agreed
of Schleswig, the Plenipotentiaries
of the respective parties met this day 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 26th instant,
and that, in order that the negotiations may be suc
cessfully carried on, it is essential that a further sus-
pension cl hostilities should take place ; and consi-
dering, moreover, that in consequence of the expira-
tion of the armistice of Melmoe, and by reason of the
dissolution of the common Government, which, by
virtue of the convention of Malmoe, was appointed to
carry on previsionally the a iininistration of the duchies
of Holstein and of Schleswig, it has becerte necessary
to make some fresh provision fur the administration ot
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.—Ttie Duchy of Schleswig shall have a sepa
rate constitution with respect to its special legisheion
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 Malmo() on the 26th
of
f6tAh August last year is entirely out of fere() on the
ment of the claims as stipulated in the Sth article
is reserved, and that the administration instituted
2ignsutsa, with the exceptions that the final settle-
ment
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 be a suspension of hostilities both by
land and by sea from the 26th 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 tune-
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 14gislative 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, 1843 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 bo employed for the mainte-
nance of order in the duchies, its Holstein not
exceeding her contingent to the army of the German
confederation, in Schleswig a Danish military forco of
3,000 or 4,000 men, as tar 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
a right to employ such a force to maintain in the
fall exercise of its authority the administration instituted
by him in the duchy of Schleswig; in regard to the
duchy of Holstein, the other contracting party binds it•
self, under the ahove-mentioned eircunestene, a to march
isoepe into tL.s duchy ,ind to Ge.-,4l'y it.
