THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, ArRIL 19.—The Ost Deutsche Post con-
tains a very remarkable official document relative to
the formation of a triune kingdom in the heart of
Austria, namely, of the kingdoms of Croatia,
Sclavonia, and Dalmatia. This triune kingdom
is to form the centre round which the other
Sclavonian countrie-s of Austria are to group
themselves; this triune kingdom is never to
enter into any treaty which Austria may form now
or subsequently with Germany, without the concur-
rence of two-thirds of the Members of its Diet.
Under the designation of triune kingdom is corn-
prised—(A). Croatia, including the province of that
name and its military loundary district, the Croatian
coast lands, the island of Marino, the harbour and free
towns of Friume, and their districts : (B). Sciavonia,
including the province and military boundary : (C.)
Dalmatia, including all appertaining thereunto and
the islands of Quarter, now depending upon the ad-
ministrative Government of Trieste. The Sovereign
of the triune kingdom shall in the spirit of the
Pragmatic Sanction be the reigning Emperor of
Austria the kingdom itself having its own respon-
sible Ministry and its own Diet. The entire army
of the triune kingdom, regular as well as irregular,
shall, in accordance with ancient priv,ileges, be sub-
ject to the Ban.—Hamburgh Correspondent, April 23.
VIENNA, APRIL 21.—The recal of the British
Ambassador, Lord Ponsonby, by Lord Palmerston,
has produced an unfavourable impression, although
the official journals intimating the announcement
endeavour to dispel any apprehensions that may arise
from the fact. At the first receipt of the intelli-
gence on the Bourse the funds fell, but happily they
had recovered their tone.

The very unfavourable reports that have been
spread abroad relative to the declining health of
Count Stadion are greatly exaggerated. That noble-
man has indeed been ill, but his attack was the result
of over- exertion, both mental and bodily, consequent
upon the immense pressure of public business. A
few days rest has almost restored him, and he is
expected at Vienna to resume his functions in a very
short time.
There is to be a conclave of Bishops at Vienna, and
it is the intention of the Communal Council to come
to an understanding with them on the subject of
politico-religious affairs. A sketch has been already
drawn up, and is to be submitted for discussion.
The recent Constitution has granted immense pri-
vileges to non-Catholic Christians, whose position
hitherto has been painfully shackled, not only as to
the performance of public worship, but as to their
private rights as men and as citizens.—Hamburgh
Correspondent, April 23.
The news from Hungary continues to be favour-
able to the Magyars. Advices from Neutra, an
inland city on the left side of the Danube (near
Comorn and Preslourg), state that the Hungarian
outposts were within sight of that town on the 20th
instant. This news, A hich is very unfavourable to
the Austrians, is mentioned by the Oesterreichische
Correspondent, a semi-officicial journal. The Wiener
Abendblutt states that General VOGEL, at the head of
12,000 Austrian troops, was on his march from Gal-
licia to Hungary when the Magyars surprised his
corps in the defiles of Munkatsh, and almost totally
routed it.
The estimates of the strength of the Imperial army
before their recent defeats, as given in the German
papers, show an army of 50,000 men near Pesth ;
General WounGEsatern has 22,000, and the corps
round Comorn amounts to 16,000. These 88,000
men are opposed by the Hungarian Generals
GEOEGEY, DEMBINSKI, DAMIANITSCH, and KLAPILA7
w ith an army of 90,000 men. The losses of the Im-

the commencement of the war stated the Austrian
forces in Hungary at 92,000, and that General's
last bulletin makes an estimate of 50,000 troops
under his command. No less than 42,000 linpe-
irialist soldiers were either killed, or wounded, or
missing, from December, 1848, to the end of March,
1849.
The National Assembly of Debreczin has, on the
proposition cf KOSSUTH, decreed a levy of 200,000
men. The Hungarian people eagerly respond to the
appeal, and the nobles arm battalions of infantry and
squadrons of cavalry at their own expense. The
It ungsrians have now 35 regiments of Hussars.
General BEM is before, Temsswar ; he was received
with great enthusiasm at Debreczin, where he de-
livered a speech in French. KOSSUTH replied in the
same language, and presented him with a diamond
frem the crown of Hungary. The place occupied
by this diamond has been filled up with a small gold
plate, on which is engraved the name of Bass, and
the date on which he gained the victory in Tran-
sylvania.
DEFEAT OF TIIE AUSTRIANS AT GRAN.
The Kolner Zeitung, aad the other German papers,
confirm the news of a two days battle in the vicinity
of Gran. A courier from the scene of action arrived
at Vienna on the night of the 21st instant, but the
news which he brought was not published by the
military commander of that capital. A postscript to
the second edition of the Ko'lner Zeitung of the 27th
instant gives an extract of the Hun-
garian intelligence which had come to Co-
logne that morning, to the effect that
the great blow had been struck, and that the battle
at Gran had ended with a defeat of the Imperialists.
The Hungarians are stated to have advanced to the
banks of the March, the siege of Comorn has been
raised, and Pesth evacuated by the Austrians. The
Constitutionelle Zeitunu confirms this news, especially
respecting Comorn and Pesth. No details are as yet
given, but the course of former events, which has
long pointed to this result, leaves no doubt of the
authenticity of the statements of the Kolner and
the Constitutionelle Zeitung, neither of which can be
accused of any sympathy for Magyar successes and
Magyar news.
General WOHLGAMUTII'S corps was defeated on
the 20th, at Sempre, by the Magyars. •
Buda as well as Pesth is at the present moment
in the hands of the Hungarians.
The siege of Comorn is raised, and GEoRGY has
reinforced the garrison of this impartant fortress,
and re-victualled it.

PRUSSIA.
Letters from Berlin of the 24th announce the
resignation of Count ARNIM. CAMPHAUSEN has
resigned the embassy to Frankfort, and BEHERATH
has left Berlin and returned to Frankfort, without
having fulfilled the object of his mission.

to tin wishes of the country. Notwithstanding the
xeiteincnt which prevailel, Stuttgard at the lait ad-
viers was tranquil. Military precautions had,
however, been taken under the orders of Prince
FREDERICK.
It is said that the KING has since returned to
Stuttgard, and has agreed to accept the constitution
and to acknowledge the EMPEROR.
