AN

THE NOltTli
[Ai STATES
AUSTRIA ANI[UNGARY.
The Austrian General HAu issued the following
diabolical proclamations, on 20th and the 24th
ult., before leaving Pesth :
" In my prc2lamation of
yeJay are indicated those
infractions of the laws establi, by the state of siege,
which are referred to the ;diction of the court-
martial. In the present thotovisions are laid down
which appear necessary for maintenance of tran-
quillity and order in these c, so deeply shaken in
their moral foundations by taitrigues of the rebel-
lious faction. 1. All inhabits of both cities are to
deliver up within the space orty-eight hours, at the
arsenal of Buda, all arms ammunition of whatever
sort in their possession. Tmunicipalities of both
cities are to appoint a respone committee of respect-
able inhabitants for each diet, which, from the day
after the expiration of the abi term, is to proceed, in
the company of military ind;uals, to search all the
houses, to seize and deliver all the arms found,
and to arrest the conceal ; who, upon being
convicted of the fact by coutnartial are immediately
to be shot. in an uninhabiteo unlet house the sentence ,1
of death is to be inflicted on Mouse-inspector, or house- 1
corners, it being the duty of sh persons to visit their
houses. 2. For the maintenas of order in the streets
and public places no group of )re than ten persons will
be suffered. The military ptols Luve orders to fire
immediately upon such grout that do not disperse at
the first challenge. 3. Meetiis of political clubs are
strictly forbidden, under pain f trial by court-martial.
4. Amenable to the same juriscticn are all those who
keep taverns open alter nine, eines and cafés after ten
at night; who without perrnissm of the commander of
the city post up placards, sell finis or pamphlets in the
streets, or give such to others it iistribution, or expose
portraits or busts of persons inphiated in the rebellion.
5. Lastly, such as presume to weir the uniform of the
national guard which demonstrate its rebellious spirit,
or, as was mentioned in yestertays proclamation, wear
badges of the Magyar Republic it tri-coloured ribbons,
red plumes, and so forth, eithe in their hats, or any-
where else, will be, without father ceremony, tried by
court-martial and shot."
"To THE INHABITANTS 0. BUDA AND PESTH.—
Scarcely arrived within your valls, I quit them again
with the greater part of the trops, in order to advance
with our victorious arms furher to the pursuit and
destruction of the rebellious enemy. Ido not, however,
depart without expressing that expectation which I de-
cidedly entertain with regard to your behaviour, and
the disappointment of which will be followed infallibly
'nrei
by the
rub tfiuG puleres/
proclamations of the 19th and 20th will be observed
etas. I expect that you
order in both the cities.
by you as strictly as if you were urged continually
thereto.
" I expect, finally, that during my absence you will
touch not a hair of one of my officers or soldiers
that stay behind, nor of those of the brave
army in alliance with us for the holy end of re-
establishing order. If you heed not my warnings
—if even a part of you should venture, with auda-
cious insolence, to transgress my orders, then annihila-
tion will be your lot. Then, making all pay for one and
one for all, will I regard your lives and properties as for •
feit, in atonement for your crimes. Your fair city, in-
habitants of Pesth, which is now partially touched with
the traces of just punishment, will then be reduced to a
heap of ashes, a monument of your treason, and of its
castigation. Believe me that I am a man of my word,
whether to punish transgression or to reward merit.
The disloyal inhabitants of Brescia who, like yourselves,
repeatedly deceived by the ringleaders of the insur-
rection, set about fresh treason, may serve as an in-
stance whether rebels have to expect any indulgence
from me. Reflect upon the chastisement which visited
that city, and beware lest, by neglecting my warn-
ings, you force me to inflict the same upon you.—
Pesth, July 24."
Intelligence was received at Vienna on the 28th
of the defeat of the Russians at Jaszo by GEORGY, to
whom the fortress of Kaschau immediately after-
wards surrendered, and who had crossed the Theiss
and effected his junction with DEMBINSKI. He en-
tered Kaschan on the 22d ult.

It appears that after giving PASKIEWITCII the slip
on the night of the 16th, GEORGEY marched, by the
Neograd road, northward of the Tatra mountains.
Reaching at Balassa Gyarmath the valley of the
Ipoly, he continued his march by the broad easy road
which runs along this river to Losoncz, and from
thence gained Rima Szombath. GEORGE; having
baffled RUDIGER'S pursuit, proceeded from Rima
Szombath to Rosenau. He first met the Russian out-
post of the north at Jaszo, and in this neighbourhood
he gained a complete victory over a strong corps.
The Russian garrison at Kaschau was struck with
consternation at the sudden appearance of an Hun-
garian army. The new burgomaster and the war
committee there established fled to St. Miskolez.
The garrison dropped all thoughts of defence, and
the Magyars entered without opposition. Kaschau,
in a strategic point of view is a highly important
place. On this account it was fortified by PASKlE-
wrrcn, and made the head depot of the commissariat
supplies from Poland and Gallicia. From Kaschau,
GnonGEy 'marched towards the Theiss, which he was
to cross at Tokay and Tarsal. The Russian detach-
ments left on the other bank are irretrievably lost.
The Theiss is, as in the past winter, the line of
operations. The road to Gallicia lies open on one
side, and communications are established on the other

Terneswar is reported to have surrendered to the
ars.

PRUSSIA.

Not a single merchant, manufacturer, or trader
has been returned to the Prussian Chambers. The
Chambers assemble on the 7th of August, and there
is to be no speech from the throne, and will be con-
sequently no address.
M. SCIILEINITZ has been appointed Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
The Board of Trade of Stettin have petitioned the
Minister of Commerce to take steps for obtaining
immediate permission for vessels to pass to and fro.
The Minister, in his reply, of the 25th instant, says
—" That the raising of the blockade is dependent
upon the confederate troops fulfilling the third section
of the Convention, and that there is no reason to
believe that this fulfilment will meet with the slightest
obstacle ; that, as regards the demand for the free
passage of neutral vessels in England or other parts,
having cargoes on board, most of which are English,
the necessary steps have been taken (to obtain this
permission) at Copenhagen."

BAVARIA.

The official journal of Bavaria, the Muncher Zei-
lung, contains the following on the relations between
Bavaria, Prussia, and Austria :
" The principal obstacle to a satisfactory solution of
the problem of the German Constitution lying in the re-
lative positions of Austria and Prussia, it has been and
continues to be, the duty and interest of Bavaria to
avert the impending breach between these powers. The
most immediate source of danger is the possibility that
Prussia may refuse to acknowledge the central authority
any longer, and endeavour to take its place. This would
not only, de facto, dissolve the Germanic Confederation,
but expose Germany to the risk of foreign interference
in the settlement of its Constitution, for the treaties
of 1815 are the groundwork of the existing European
system. Such being the case, the first object to
be aimed at is a general agreement respecting an interim
central authority to be substituted for that which
at present exists—of course with its consent. The in-
terchange of diplomatic notes between the Courts of
Vienna and Berlin, which has been in active progress
during the
,last few weeks, has rather tended to divert
attention from this object than to accelerate its attain-
, ment. To counteract this tendency, personal interviews
have taken place at Berlin between the envoys of Austria,
Prussia, and Bavaria, in the course of which the follow-
ing proposals were submitted on the part of Austria:—
Austria and Prussia shall immediately undertake the
direction of the affairs of Germany, leaving it optional
to the remaining German powers either to concur in
the election of a third member of the central
authority, or to delegate full authority to the two
great Powers for a limited period. Prussia shall
choose whether it will appoint a Prince of the Royal
House or a Minister to act for it; and Austria will follow
the example of Prussia. Finally, Prussia shall have the
choice of the locality which is to be the seat of this pro-
visional Central Government. The Bavarian Minister,
authorised by his Court, deelared the assent of Bavaria
to these proposals, and renounced on its behalf any claim
to take part in the Central Government, or in the elec-
tion of a third member. But Prussia declined to enter
into the proposed arrangement. Prussia went so far as
even to refuse an explicit answer to the proposals till
such time as Austria should declare in express terms
that it recognised the establishment of the Berlin draft
of a constitution for the whole of Germany as compatible
with the treaties of union of 1815. Such a declara-
tion Austria did not give, and could not give, for such
a declaration would have been equivalent to its entire
separation from Germany, and the dissolution of the
Germanic confederation, Consequently the oral delibe-
rations,on this question remained—assuredly through no
fault of Bavaria—without results, and Prussia intimated
its determination to renew the interchange of diplomatic
notes. Germany therefore, at this moment, has no lon-
ger an efficient centre of action; for Prussia no longer
recognises the authority of the central power, and makes
the substitution of a new one in its place, dependent upon
impossible conditions. Bavaria did not insist by any
means that the rest of Germany should put a stop to the
work of completing its constitution till Austria
was in a condition to take part in it ; but
Bavaria felt it to be its duty to insist that
the future participati,n of Austria in the work
should not be rendered impossible, or Austria be finally
separated from Germany. It was the more necessary
to assume a firm attitude of resistance on these points,
as those provisoes of the Berlin draft of a Constitution,
which go to separate Austria from Germany, afford
good grounds to Bavaria itself of grave apprehensions.
On this account confidential negotiations were cow.
menced at Berlin, with a view to obtain modifications of
the projected Constitution, without the concession of
which Bavaria could not concur in recommending it to
the Diet. Hopes have been held out that many of these
modifications will be conceded, but the most important
among them are not of this number. While on the one
hand Bavaria is of opinion that sufficient security for
