AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette of the 23d publishes the fol-
lowing :—" After his defeat at Wait zen, Georgey,
during his retreat, made several attempts to enter
into negotiations with the Russian Generals Rudiger
and Tsoheodajeff, and with Marshal Paskewitch.
But as his letters only spoke of a desire of mediation,
of a pacification, and not of a submission without
reserve, they were sent back unanswered. On the
11 th of this month, General Rudiger received a letter
from Georgey, dated Alt-Arad, announcing that, in
consequence of the dissolution of the Provisional
Government of Hungary, he felt called on to arrive
at a solution ; that he was accordingly decided to
submit without condition ; that he and all the officers
of his corps d'armee were ready to lay down their
arms betore the army of his Majesty the Emperor
of Russia. Georgey, at the same time, ex-
pressed the conviction that the other chiefs of corps
d'armee would follow his example and offer their sub-
mission. Marshal Paskewitch accepted the absolute
submission of Georgey and his troops, in order to put
an end to the effusion of blood, and to preserve a
part of the states of the empire of Austria from the
ravages of war. The column of Georgey was in a
desperate situation. General Rudiger received orders
to disarm it. The 138 cannon of Georgev's corps,
the ammunition, the horses, the arms, and the stores
or all kinds have been deposited at Grosswardein in
the bands of the Austrian troops. Marshal Paske-
witch has already taken measures for giving up, as
soon as possible, the insurgents encamped under the
guard of the Russians, and for placing them at the dis-
posal of their sovereign, the Emperor Francis Joseph."
The Minister of Finance in the Magyar Cabinet, M.
Fuschek, is said to have been arrested at Arad, as has
also M. Perinyi, President of the Upper Chamber.
At the same time, the personnel of the Ministry,
and the materiel for making banknotes fell into
the hands of, the Austrians.—The German Reform
sates that the garrison of Comorn have laid
down as the condition of this submission
a complete amnesty in favour of the sol-
diers of all ranks ; and they demand that
their officers who oceupied grades in the Austrian
army shall return to active service. If this be refused
they have, says the Reform, threatened to defend
themselves to the last man and the last extremity, and
then to blovi themselves up with the fortress.—One
of the journals again ares that the Magyar forces
assembled at Orsowa seem
struggle, as do also the disposed to continue the
,emguerilla bands. General
eolwthaeritth the Grunne had left Vienna for
Magyar
to the
reso-
lutions of the Emperor relative t
A letter from Vienna of the 23d, addressed
//dependance of Brussels, says that great dissatisfac-
tion existed in Vienna in consequence of the delay of
the Minister of Finance in issuing the new loan. By
retarding the issue the Minister hoped to effect the
loan on more favourable terms. The Austrian bank
notes were at 17 to 20 per cent. discount, and bills on
foreign countries paid the same rate.
The sams journal has the following :
" We receive from a traveller, who lately passed
through Bohemia and Hungary, curious information re-
lative to the issue of bank-notes in those countries.
Alt, r the events of Vienna in 1848 the Austrian
Government, after having published .the most serero or-

donnancrs against the exportation of specie, was obliged,
in consequence of the almost complete absence of gold
and silver, to authorise the bank of Vienna to issue
notes of 15 kreutzers and six kreutzers. Some bankers
or Vienna were also authorised, on depositing equivalent
values, to issue banknotes of 10 and 20 kreutzere. All
these modifications only served to make specie
scarcer. Thut, not only Kossuth and his Provisional
Goverment issued such notes, but a number of towns,
village s, and private individuals did the same. Bohe-
mia is literilly inundated with them, notwithstanding
the pruhication of the Government. At Elb,,gen
(Carlsbad), notes were issued fur five kreutzers, and pri-
vate persons issued some for 1; the hotels and cafeir
have them with their address inscribed. We have seen
some fJr three kreutzers, with the issuer's likeness on
them. Although these notes are of value only in the
town, or at most the district where they are issued, yet
Bohemia is inundated with them to such an extent that
the postmasters give them to travellers; and when these
latter complain, the others reply that they have nothing
else to give. The details show what immense embar-
rassments the Austrian Government will have to sur-
mount to liquidate these notes, and bring back the cir-
culation to a regular state."
