AUSTRIA.

The Diet of Kremsier has abolished all distinctions
of class, therefore no more nobility will be created.
On the 16th the Governor of Vienna, WELDEN,
published the 15th bulletin from the army of WIN-
DISCHGRATZ, stating that a column of the " rebels"
under General BEM, after having failed in their
attempt to enter Gallicia, via Kaschan, proceeded
towards Klausenburg, with the view of penetrating
into the Bukowina. The insurgents (it is added)
devastated the entire neighbourhood, and drove back
to Kinpolung the few troops under Colonel MIRAN.
The latter retreated further into the Bukowina,
where he was reinforced by the troops of Lieutenant
Field-Marshal MALKOWSKY, who were assembled
around Czarnowitz. He again acted on the
offensive, and drove the insurgents as far as
Watra Dona. Meantime Baron HAMMERSTEIN had

assembled a great number of troops and stationed
them near Stry. It is stated in the army bulletin
that the " brave peasants" supported the military
placed along the Gallician frontiers, and vowed death
to all insurgents who should attempt to penetrate.
All the passes leading to Hungary are strictly
guarded by the imperialists. On the 13th instant,
Count ALTHANN'S troops entered Papa, after " clear-
ing" the Oldenburg and Eisenburg comitats. It was
his (ALTHADIN's) intention to push on in the direc.
tion of Wessprim and the Bakonyian forest, in which
some of the dispersed troops of Perczel had assem-
bled. On the 13th, the brigade of Baron NEusTADT
had an engagement near Assod with a portion of
the enemy, during which the imperialists lost the
distinguished Lieutenant- Colonel Baron GERAMB.
It is asserted in the proclamation that the imperialists
successfully returned the fire of the enemy. A bri-
gade of General Sistoxicif's had marched from Neu-
tra towards Verebelly.
The Austrian Correspondent of Olmutz speaks
thus of the invasion of General BEM, on the authority
of a letter from Lemberg, dated Jan. 2 :—" As soon
as this news was known, General BARK° was sent
into the circles of the south-east to organise the land-
sturm there. This invasion has produced a lively sen-
sation, as we learn that the custom-house officers along
the frontiers of Hungary have been displaced by
G,neral BEM. In consequence o:. this measure, a
dispatch arrived here to-night by which two bat-
taliAts of infantry have started to day irom Lein-
ber4, with the intention of marching towards the
Hungarian frontier."
The following proclamation was posted at Lemberg
on the 10th :
" Gallicia and the Bultewina are declared to be in a
state of sleet), as well as the city and territory of Cra-
cow. In consequence:—l. All the p-asantry shall be
disarmed, e ith (he xeeption of the public fuuctionati,s

lEttncaPritein ivies the inhabitants to assist the civil
authoriies in tt,ir efrx•ts to prevent the country be'
coming subj,et to the horrors of civil war."
Letters from Lemberg state that Lieutenant'
Colonel SPRING'PELT had defeated BEM. It is, how'
ever, not very probable that such is the case, be,eause
BEM has expelled the Austrians -from Cynriovitz, an
important town in the Bukowina, situate on the
Purth, near the frontiers of Gallicia, and has there
established himself; the Szelkers have, at the sane
time, taken Cronstadt from the Imperialists, so that
the whole of Transylvania is now in possession of the
Magyars, who have regained in the East what 61
lost in the West.
The Breofau Gazette of the 17th says—
" The Aus ran troops commanded by Major General
Worthier hut,, h•;-en beaten near to Deus, and compelled
to retire uton 13.striz, where the Imperial troops are
coloetud together, amounting to nearly 12,000 men.
" It is r• pirtcd that the Magvars have obtained
vie ory over J, ll,chich, near Keskemet. The battle i 5
said so have boon vary sanguinary, 10,000 men having
been slain en both sides, and the first corps of the waif
is stated to have tied. This news stands in need of con'
Urination, but it is net unlikely to be true.
" The forges., of Leopoldstadt, upon the Waag, hag
not yet surrender,d. Bayer, the commandant, declares
that he will rr.'her perish than open the gates to the
Austrians. The fortress of Comorn likewise still holds
oat; but the commandant will in a short time be core;
pelted to surrender, unless Prince Windiscbgratz shoal'
accept hi, pi opnsals."
The Journal of Austrian Lloyd's announces the
arrival at Treste of the Turkish Ambassador at the
court of Athens (Mtissuuns EFFENDI). He wag
received with the usual honours, and was to proceed
to Olmutz, in order to congratulate, in the name f
the Sultan of TURRET, the Emperor FRANCIS
JOSEPH on his accession to the throne.
