HUNGARY.
The news from Hungary down to the 30th April is
afflicting. Anarchy in this part of the empire makes
fearful
progress. At Presburg the Jews have been

The general
meeting of the German Constitutional
Cetutnittee was held on the 30th April. The sitting
Was calm at the commencement, but scarcely had the
second orator made a report on the Ministerial or-
donnance respecting the deputies to be sent to the
Frankfort Parliament, when the ultra-Czechs begun
to cry out, " The Germans are traitors ! Down with
the Germans !" The President declared the sitting
Was over, and the meeting broke up in the greatest
"ufusion. It was with difficulty the speaker could
be protected against the fury of the Czechs by some
of the most moderate .among them. There at pre
sent exists an abyss between the Czechs and Ger
inans. A reconciliation hiss become next to impos

Bible, and a fearful combat is hourly expected.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

In the sitting of the 4th inst. of the Germanic
Diet, the Envoy for the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg informed the Assembly that the Netherlandish
Government had appointed a special commissary to
ensure the execution of the decrees relating especially
to the elections of the Deputies to the National
Assembly at Frankfort. The Diet adopted the pro-
position having for its object to ask the Governments
of Austria, Prussia, end Bavaria to join to the Diet
three more envoys, who will have the executive power
of the Confederation under their own responsibility
towards the people and their respective Governments.
They would especially be entrusted with the direction
of the diplomatic business of the measures for the
internal and external security of the Confederation.
This will form the third Special Committee added to
the Germanic Diet.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of ORLEANS,
with her two sons, the Count of PARIS and the Duke
of CHARTRES, passed through Frankfort, en route for
Pulda, on the 3d. A local paper states that the
Duchess is going to Weimar.

BADEN, WEIMAR, AND HESSE-

CASSEL.

The letters from Carlsruhe report that the defeat
Which the Baden republicans have sustained at Dof•
fenbach had the most favourable results. The whole
legion of democrats from France have dispersed.
Some disturbances have broken out in the little
town of Remba, in the grand duchy of Saxe Weimar,
*here it is said the population, amounting to about
l)000 souls, have burned down some manufactories,
and proclaimed the independence of the district from
,1311/9 Weimar, and its union with Schwarzhourg-
'"dolstadt. Riots have also taken place at Apolda,
Where the insurgents overturned all the local au-
crities. Troops have been sent to both those

and charged at the same time with the functions of
governor of the residence and commander of South
Rolland. The Staats Courant publishes the state of
commerce in China during the year 1847 under the
Dutch flag. This commerce was carried on by
means of 20 ships, measuring 3,497 tons. The total
value of the importations is 1,270,409 piastres, and
the exportations 740.171 piastres.
Tun HAGUE, MAY 3.—The Minister of Marine
and of the Colonies pro tern. has informed navigators
that, conformably to an intimation from the Nether-
lands Consul at Wismar, dated April 22, in conse-
quence of the hostilities between Denmark and
Prussia, and in the apprehension that Mecklenburg
may also be implicated, that from the 21st of April
last all the buoys have been withdrawn from the
shallow grounds and passes, and that the same
measures will be adopted in regard to the port of
Rostock, near IVarnemunde.
To prevent the vessels of neutral nations from
suffering by this measure, pilots have been stationed
at the greatest possible distance from the coast.
The Netherlands Consul at Wismar instantly
gave notice of this circumstance to the Dutch
Consuls at Rendsburg and Elsinore, in order that
they might give notice to the vessels already en
route to these ports. The Consul has also
• charged the pilots to exert the most watchful
guard in respect to the vessels belonging to the
country. It will be necessary that neutral vessels
hoist their flags in good time to give signals of their
.approach. An official notification of the, Nether-
lands authorities at the Court of Denmark announces
that, in the execution of the coercive measures to be
'adopted against all Prussian vessels, the cargoes
belonging to neutral countries shall be

BARLLET LATOUR.
The official Vienna Gazette declares to be without
foundation the rumour according to which the POPE
has proclaimed war against Austria. The same
Paper publishes letters from Trieste, dated the 27th of
April, which report that the fortress of Cervignano
has made its submission to the Austrian army.
A deputation from Cracow arrived at Vienna on
the Ist of May, and had immediately an audience of
the EMPEROR.
The Gazette of the Ist publishes two communica-
tions from the Governor of Gallicia to the captains
of the circles. They are by these enjoined to be on
their guard against the malevolent intentions con-
nected with the formation of committees composed of
Polish proprietors settled in the country under pro-
tection of the Government; so they say ; and to
prevent the formation of such committees, as also the
establishment of a national guard in the cities of the
circles, seeing the institution of a national guard in
cities is for capitals exclusively, and moreover, that
the law for its formation has not appeared. These
communications are likewise intended to fix the at-

..-----
tention of circle captains
,on the tendency of the
rioters to weaken, by means of false alarms, the
Moral spirit, and consequently the energy, of the
troops. The officers are therefore directed not to
afford military protection till they have inquired into
the real motives for which such assistance may be
claimed.
