those who have fled from the city) has been univer-
sally respected. The Diet continues to sit en per-
numence.

In the sitting of the 11th, Schuselka rose, after
a preliminary debate, and said :—Vienna has had the
pleasure of receiving, during the night, 500 well
armed national guards from Bi tiun. Telegraphic
messages were sent to Gratz to request the assistance
• of the guards there, in consequence of the fatigue of
those of Vienna. This was immediately pro-
mised. A:dispatch has arrived from Lohner, saying
that he had not yet met with the Emperor, that he
was at Braun, and was proceeding further to seek
him. From Hornhostl we have received intelligence
that he has sent his resignation to the Emperor. He
had begged of his Majesty to place the Ban Jellachich
under the orders of the Austrian Ministry. This he
had not done, and therefore he, Hornbostl, must
resign. A letter to the Minister Krauss states,
however, that the Emperor has not accepted the
resignation. The committee of safety now proposes
that a deputation of one member from each of the
provinces should be sent to the Emperor, for the
purpose of placing before him in all honour and
candour the present state of the city and the monarchy.
This deputation to consist of Borkowski (Gallicia),
Skoda (Bohemia), IVeiss (Moravia), Purtscher
(Lower Austria), Peitler (Upper Austria), Thinfeld
(Styria), Klementi (Tyrol), Madonizza (Kustenland),
Kautschitsch (Illyria), and Radmilli (Dalmatia).
This proposal is adopted, with this amendment,
that the deputation be named by election.
Schuselka then proceeded. In order to give
unity and strength to the regulations for the
protection of the city, the committee has decided
to give the Commandant a council of war. The sol-
diers in the city will he placed in barracks and under
rigid command. This member then proceeded to
describe the scenes which had taken place in the
town, how Borrosch had done all in his power to
prevent the death of Count Latour; and, after some con-
versation on this subject, the election for the deputa-
tion above-mentioned took place, when were chosen,
with little exception, the Members whose names are
already given. The changes are—Feisak for Al o-
ravia, Schmidt for Lower Austria, and Dolsheim for
Illyria. Borrosch was commissioned to write the
address to be carried by the deputation to the Em-
peror. The sitting was then adjourned and resumed
in the evening. Borrosch read the address, which
stated that the Diet desired to support the throne of
freedom. A warning is given against delay on his
part. He is begged to give heed, as he did at Inn-
spruck. It must not be said that his Majesty had
sacrificed a thousand innocent for the life of one, and
torn the monarchy asunder by causing a civil war, by
which blood would flow in streams. The Diet would,
like Curtius, cast itself into the abyss in order to
avert such an evil. Should the sacrifice take
place, their remembrance would indelibly live
and remain an accusation against those who had been
guilty of it by their evil counsels. A sanguinary
military rule could last but a short time : it would be
inglorious, and sow the seeds of incalculable evil.
The address was adopted after some discussion. A
Member asked the Minister Krauss whether a list of
trusty men from whom the Emperor should choose his
Ministers had been made out ? Krauss answered that
there had been no list made out, as the choice of these
depended on the result of Hornbostl's interview with
the Emperor. Umlauft, on the part of the Committee,
brought before the Diet a letter addressed to Count
Auersperg, bringing to his notice the attacks made
by his soldiers on the life of several guards and on
the property of the citizens generally, and snaking
him responsible for the consequences. The expire.
tion of the Presidency taking place on that day,
Smolka was re-elected by acclamation, and the sitting
was adjourned.
In the sitting of the I2th Schuselka, as reporter
of the Committee of Safety, rose and said—An im-
portant piece of intelligence I have to give is, that
Commandant Auersperg has abandoned his strong
position. Last evening he wrote a letter, stating that
a Hungarian army had advanced, and • that it was
possible that here might be the field of battle of the
Hungaro-Croatian question. From the situation of
Vienna he could not join with the Ban; and he now
turned to the Diet and the Ministry to obtain their
instructions. lie could not, however, re-enter the
barracks until the. disarmament of the proletariat. An
answer had already been given to him that the pro-
posed disarmament could not take place, and that the
only means of arranging matters was the retirement
of the Ban. He (Auersperg), as chief in command,
was supreme over the Imperial troops in Austria, and
as the Ban had said that bis were Imperial troops, he
had thereby placed himself under the orders of the
chief, and he (Auersperg) had given the strictest
injunctions to the Ban to retire. Schuselka conti-
nued—The commandant sent to-day a letter to the
following effect :
" I receive every hour fresh proofs of the evil
disposition of the Viennese population. The pro-
visionment has been interrupted. As I will make
use of no force with respect to the city and autho-
rities, I have abandoned my position. I propose to
take cantonments with my troops by linzersdorf,
and remove that far from the city, and I beg that
necessaries will be furnished for the troops. I have
further to request that they may be allowed to have
their effects which they left behind. I have left
General Mattauseheek in his position in the Inva-
lidenhaus, and I place him under the protection of
the Diet.

(Signed) " AUERSPERG."
Schuselka went on to say : The ex-Minister
Hornbostl has left Hadersdorf for Vienna, with a
letter from the Emperor. The Hungarian army is at
Bruck. In order that the organization of the
National Guard may be effected as soon as possible,
it is proposed that a law be passed ordering all
persons capable of bearing arms to place themselves
under the command of the chief of districts. This
project was adopted. A dispatch was then commu-
nicated stating that the deputation from the Diet
had reached Bran, that the Emperor was at Sello-
witch, and they were going to him there. A letter
was then read from Dobhlof stating that his health
was so impaired that he could no longer conduct
public business ; and that, moreover,,he was convinced
that the new Ministry would pursue a totally opposite
policy to his—which would he utterly at variance with
his principles. On these grounds he had tendered his
resignation to his Majesty.
he sitting having been adjourned, was resumed
in the evening. A project for opening a credit with
the bank for six millions is adopted. Schuselka
stated that Lohner had obtained an audience the
night previous from Archduke Charles. He has sent
a rescript of the Emperor, rah eounter signature,
which is dated Herzogelibiirg. 'tine party in Vienna
is very severely spoken of in it, and the Emperor de-
clares that he will choose another town than Vienna
for the deliberations of the Diet. The Emperor has
accepted the resignation of Dobhlof and
_Bach.
Nothing further is known of Hornbostl.
According to the last accounts the EIIIPEROA was
at Sellowitch. He is every where received by the in-
habitants with marks of displeasure, and it is his
guard of 5,000 men that alone protects him from
being arrested and brought back a prisoner to Vienna.
He has summoned WINDESHGRATZ to Moravia,
where there will be a gathering of Sclavonians and Cr-
oatians, with which the camarilla intend to commence
a civil war against Germany and Hungary for the
restoration of the rule of bigotry,absolutisin,ignorance,
and plunder, and fur the destruction of civilization, in.
dustry, enlightenment, and order. The Germans and
Magyars will, however, be fully prepared to meet
their opponents, and to drive back this fresh irrup-
tion of Barbarians.

In opposition to the contemplated Sclavonic con-
gress in Moravia, the Austrian Diet has resolved to
convoke one in Vienna of the Hungarian races. The
following address has been sent by the Hungarian
Diet to the Austrian one :

" The Hungarian nation declares before God and
the world that it will respect the liberty of Austria
equally with its own liberty,and that it will ever con-
sider it to be one of its holiest duties to powerfully
assist, in conformity with the wishes of the Austrian
nation, in maintaining that liberty. Hungary re-
jects all negotiations with the camarilla and its per-
jured hirelings (eide bruchigea soldnern). The Hun-
garian nation begs of the noble representatives of
Austria to take energetic steps against those parties ;
and, in like manner, as we denounce as a traitor
every Hungarian who raises his unhallowed hand
against the freedom of Austria, to declare a traitor
to his country every subject of the Austrian mo-
narchy who shall give the least support to the rebel
Jellachich—that perjured instrument of the cama-
rilla for the depression of the liberty of Austria and
Hungary."
The address states in conclusion that the Hungarian
troops will return to Pesth, if the representatives of
Austria send word that the enemy has been defeated
by the Austrians alone, and that the co-operation of
the Hungarian army is not required.
The Wiener Zeitung publishes the following letter
from Pesth, dated Oct. 7 :
"General Massaros has issued a proclamation to
the army in South Hungary, informing them that
perfect order prevails in Buda-Pesth; that the Diet
continues to sit in almost undiminished numbers ; that
the interest of the beloved Emperor and King are re-
presented by a committee of eight members in the
absence of a Ministerial President ; that it is unhap-
pily true that Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Lam-
berg fell a victim to the popular fury ; but that the
people were urged to it by the illusive promises
and treacherous dealings which had been exercised
against them. But he exhorts them not to
be misled by false reports, but to be firm
and faithful in the defence of their country.
A proclamation has also been issued by Dionys
