INSURRECTIONS

VIENNA AND BERLIN.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA has issued decrees grant-
ing the liberty of the press, and embodying a
National Guard. The following proclamations have
been issued :

" Cabinet Order of his Imperial Royal Majesty the
Lord High Chancellor.—We have sanctioned the
establishment of a National Guard for the maintenance
of the legal peace and order of the capital, and for
the protection of persons and property, under the
guarantees which property and intelligence offer to
the State, and have, at the same time, appointed
Ernest Count Von Iloyos a chief raager and Lieut.
Field Marshal, a commander of the National Guard.
for the organization of which the necessary prelimi-
naries will be adopted. We expect from the de-
votedness of our subjects that the confidence which
we have displayed by this act will be fully responded
to by them. "FERDINAND.
" Vienna, March 14."
" His Imperial Royal Majesty has been pleased
to decree the abolition of the censorship, and the speedy
promulgation of a law on the press.
" JOH. TALATYKO.
" Baron VON GESTIETIEZ,
" President of Royal Imperial Government
of Lower Austria.
" Vienna, March 14, 18-13."
The Austrian Observer of the 14th states that the
following rescripts were issued:—
" I. The present events affect the weal of the State as
well as that of the city of Vienna. They demand a
deliberate development, and hence it is of the utmost
importance to the interest of the community and of in-
dividuals, that quiet, order, and security be maintained.
" The public good calls for this, and the honour of
the gallant and patriotic inhabitants of Vienna do-
mand it.
" To this end his Majesty has been graciously pleased
to grant the arming of the students, and has expressed
his expectation that all the burgher corps will strengthen
it as much as possible, and co-operate energetically for
the maintainance of peace.
" These measures, these wholesome endeavours of the
students and burghers must, however, be actively sup.-
ported by all the other inhabitants of Vienna. There-
fore, every head of a family and master of a household,
all proprietors of manufactories or workshops, are called
upon to keep at home their families and dependents, in
so far as they do not belong to the regularly armed in-
habitants, to obviate the increase of the crowds in the
public streets, whereby the desirable state of things is
impeded or perhaps retarded. The authorities and the
respectable inhabitants of Vienna will spare no exec-•
tions. They reckon upon the general concurrence of all.
"JOH. TALATYKO.
" Baron VON GESTIETIEZ, &c. &c. &c.
" Vienna, March 14, 154 g."

" 11. His Majesty the Emperor was pleased to grant
some petitions laid before him, relative to the excite-
ments of yesterday, in the firm hope and in full reliance
upon the assurances given him by the States, the
Burghers, and the Academic Senate, that peace and order
should be re-established by them without the further
intervention of the military. To. day petitions are
again presented, and the same assurances reiterated,
although the state of things is more unquiet than yes-
terday.
"The stability of the throne would be shake❑ were
his Majesty again to yield to delusive hopes. The sea-
sonable arrangements which his Majesty is at this mo-
ment considering cannot possibly be matured so long as
this excitement lasts; still less can.they be brought into
action: hence it is the interest of the petitioners to con-
duct themselves peaceably, and thereby accelerate the
period of their being granted.
" Firmly resolved not to endanger the dignity of his
throne, hie Majesty has committed the re-establishment
and maintenance of peace and order to his llighness
Field Marshal Alfred Count Von Vindischgratz, and to
,übject to him all civil and military authorities, with full
power for the execution of the same.
" Iris Majesty expects, from the inviolate faith and
loyalty of the burghers, that they, conjointly with his
valiant troops, will aid these endeavours for the resto-
ration of public peace with all their powers.
"JOH. TALATYKO,
" Baron VON GESTIETIEZ, &c., &c., &c.

" Vienna, March 14,"
Vienna was illuminated on the 13th and the 14th in
honour of the concessions made by the EMPEROR.
On the 14th tranquillity was completely restored and
perfect order prevailed. All the troops had received
orders to quit tke city. The number of killed in the
course of the revolution was about 200.

The following official account of the emente in
Berlin appears in the Prussian Gazette :
"During the day of the 15th numerous gatherings in
all the streets assembled about noon on the Schlossplatz.
The crowd was immense. As evening closed in the
people began to throw stones from the pavement at the
soldiery stationed at the castle gates. The requests to
the crowd to disperse were of no avail, and the stone
throwing continued. It was necessary to call out the
cavalry to clear the place. The crowd, in their flight,
ran into the Breit Stratzse, where they endeavoured to
make a stand, as well as in other neighbouring streets,
and attempted to impede the motions of the troops
by breaking up the streets and bridges. The
soldiery sent to resist these movements were again
assailed with stones, and it was only by having
recourse to arms that they could induce the people to
disperse. The restoration of order and tranquillity
was not effected without bloodshed. Persons have been
wounded, and others, it is said, killed. This morning
the authorities had been informed of one death. The
people adopted every expedient by which they could
harass the soldiery, who showed the most perfect calm-
ness throughout. The members of the protesting com-
mission, which had been formed among the citizens, used
the most laudable endeavours to induce the people to
disperse. At eleven o'clock at night tranquillity was
completely restored in all the streets.
The official Gazette of Hanover publishes a pro-
clamation, in which the KING declares that he is
convinced that the manifestations which have taken
place on the part of his subjects are not the expression
of their own sentiments, but the result of foreign
influence. At the same time he adds, that a portion
of their demands shall be taken into consideration,
and that he will endeavour to satisfy them, without
departing from the constitution. his MAJESTY
finishes by declaring that he counts on the fidelity
of his subjects, as they may count on his devotion,
and that he is prepared to devote himself to his coun-
try, even to the last drop of his blood. The KING
and his Ministers refused to admit the four professors
of the University of Gottingen, who had gone to
Hanover to complain of the conduct of the authori-
ties, who some days ago sent the gendarmes against
a gathering of students, several of whom were dan-
gerously wounded. Accordingly, the professors have
resolved to resign their functions, and probably all
the students will leave the university. The KING
and his Minister, M. VON FALCEE, refused also to re-
ceive a deputation from the city of Hanover, which
proposed to present an address to his MAJESTY.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Journal des Debats says—

" On Sunday a deputation of twenty-five bankers
went to the Minister of Finances to ask for the proro-
gation, for a few days more, of the payment of com-
mercial bills, and to allow them time to come to the
assistance of the market.

" The Ministry firmly resisted all ides of proroga
tion, but proposed that a commission of five of them
should be appointed to concert measures for the object
in view. Thu following gentlemen consequently formed
a committee:—MNl. Dethomas, de la maison Ernest
Beehet et Dethomas ; Gaillaird, de cello Gaillard et
Bampin; Cusin-Legendro Pavie-Blondel, et Lehideux.
This commission proposed to the Minister to invite the
Bank of France—
" 1. As regards the bills on Paris, to discount them
freely; not to hesitate at the notice of the securities,
provided they appeared good; not to pay attention to
ony protestations which may have taken place since the
24th of February, for certain signatures, as it was
well known these houses were solvable; in a word, to
accept all security which was warranted good in its
ensemble.

" 2. As regards th© provinces, to discount:up to forty-
five days.
- -

"3. As regards certain extraordinary facilities, to tako
bills on the order of the discounters, provided the se-
curities are good and bear a third signature, and to take
into account for lesser securities deposits of good bills at
long dates on Paris and the provinces.
"4. As regards payments, not to exact before they are
due the repayments of securities accepted of or signed
by houses who have just suspended payment; to allow
ten days to run for the payment of protested bills, it
being in the option of the Bank to call upon the other
obliges of said securities if it should deem it advisable.
" The delegates expressed their opinion that those
measures were indispensable, and the hope that, with the
aid of the Comptoir National they would save the place.
They, moreover, declared that they regarded them as so
urgent that they ought to be enforced at once, commenc-
ing to-morrow (Tuesday).
"After hearing these propositions, the Minister placed
himself in immediate comunication with the Bank of
France."

In relation to this subject, the Moniteur publishes
the following decree—
" FRENCH REPUBLIC.
LINERTY-EQUALITY-FRATERNITT.
"The member of the Provisional Government,
luster of Finances, considering the decree of the Provi-
sional Government of the 2d instant,
"Resolves—The delays and powers granted by the

out forfeiture orders, letters of exchange, and the nego-
tiable effects, as well as effects and obligations which are

travention to the stamp laws, are prorogued to the 15th
