THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A conference of Ministers took place at Schon-
brunn on the 18th, relative to the demand made on
Turkey for the extradition of the Hungarian re-
fugees. The British Ambassador attended the con-
ference.

The chiefs of Servia have presented the following
to the EMPEROR, as expressing the wishes of the
nation :

" That the Servian Waiwodie be declared a state of
the Crown ; that the Emperor shall assume the title of
Grand Waiwode ; and that the limits of the Waiwodie
be settled according to the former privileges and the re-
solutions of the nation of the Ist and 3d May, 1848.
This last point is explained in the following terms :
The territories indicated are the seat of the establish-
ment of the Servians, which they occupied after having
wrested Hungary from the Turks. The Servia Waiwode
claims these territories according to historical monu-
ments and imprescriptible rights. If it is wished that the
Servian nation should have any importance these terri-
tories must be conceded to it." _

It was rumoured in Prague that General SCHLICK,
who arrived there on Oct. 16, would be appointed
Civil and Military Governor of Hungary.
Accounts from Sernlin of the 11th state that General
HOUSLAII arrived there on the 11th, and immediately
set of for Widdin. It is asserted that he is gone to
Turkey peremptorily to demand the delivery of the
Magyar chiefs. Other accounts state that he was the
bearer of an amnesty.

SAXONY.
The Legislative Assembly is convoked for the 30th
inst9nt.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian S'taats Anzieger of the 21st announces
the nomination of General VON PEUCHER to the
post of military governor of Westphalia and the
Rhenish provinces.
On the 20th, the First Chamber disposed of the
whole Bth chapter of the constitution "of the finances,"
by adopting articles 98 to 103, whereby, as will be
seen from the text of the first of these articles, the
principle of annually submitting the budgets to the
investigation and assent of the Chambers is recog-
nised, as it should be, tempered, however, by a
clause which declares the votes and credits of the
previous to be voted for the current year, should
circumstances prevent the fixation of the budget
within the prescribed period. The latter clause was
only carried by a majority of three, there being 70
ayes and 67 noes. This article runs thus :
All the receipts and expenditures of the State must
be determined each year by anticipation, and entered in
the budget. The latter must be annually determined by
a law. All extraordinary disbursements require the
subsequent assent of the Chambers. In case the defiii-
tire settlement of the budget for the ensuing financial
period (year) should be delayed beyond its commence-
ment, the budget last voted shall remain in force—not
exceeding twelve months." This and the sister articles
having been the principal obstacle to progression in the
work of revision, involving as they do most indisputably
a vital constitutional question, it is to be hoped the
Chamber will now be enabled to advance more rapidly
with the forty-five of filty articles which remain to
be voted.
In the Second Chamber the debate on the Industry
Regulation Bill was revived at Art. 24. The whole of
the remaining clauses, in all seventy-seven, were then
agreed to without discussion, and the House adjourned its
definitive vote until Monday next."
