The QUERN'S troops have suffered a severe check
in Catalonia. A detachment of two hundred of them
were surprised by CABRERA, and the greater portion
of them made prisoners, and it is added, immediately
afterwards shot. We trust that there is no truth in

this latter statement, and that this horrible system of
shooting prisoners, which disgraced the last war, will
not be continued.

THE INSURRECTION IN VIENNA,
The intelligence which we published in The Sass
of yesterday of an insurrection in Vienna, and of the
flight of the Emperor of AUiTRIA from his capital, is
confirmed in every particular. The accounts we
published yesterday were to the evening of the 7th
October. On the Bth the city was completely in
possession of the National Guard, ties Academic
Legion, and the armed people, the whole of the troops
having evacuated the city and taken up a strong
position et the Belvidere in the Faubourg. The Diet,
in consequence of the flight of the Erarenoa, has
assumed the office of the Executive Government, and
has nominated Houzinoseze Dormaore, and Knits
to appoint a new Ministry.
lIORINDOSTL declared himself unequal to his task,
and offered to rerign. I beg of you, said the Minis-
ter, to accept of my resignation. Ich Mete darunz.
Joeare replied that, in the name of the people, his
accepted. Houenosee—lt
resignation could not be
wa rot cowardice that prompted me to this, but
duty. I must conform to your will.—(Applause.)
On the morning of the Bth, the Diet issued the
following manifesto
" MANIFESTO OF THE DIET.
"The consequences of momentous events threaten
to shake the foundations of our new-born Constitution.
The Constituent Diet, elected by the free choice of
all the people of Austria, recognised, in the serious
hours of the 6th of October, the sacred duty which it
people, and the heavy re-
upon it as regards the pre-
sent st to fi ul

sent and the future. As the bond of social order was
on the point of being rent asunder, the Diet suc-
ceeded, in virtue of the power conferred upon it by
the people, and with the co-operation of the popula-
tion of trienna, in putting a stop to re-action and
anarchy. It declared itself in permanence, and
selected from its own Members a permanent Co-
mmission for the preservation of public order and safety.
But the Constituent Diet maintained firmly the posi-
tion which it holds, and ever will hold, towards the
throne. It sent a deputation to his Majesty, the
Constitutional Emperor, to fulfil, in conjunction with
tkie most high bearer of the sovereign power, the
wishes of the sovereign people, and to shield their
sacred interests. With his usual kindness of heart,
his Majesty was at once inclined to dismiss from the
Ministry the men who had lost the confidence of
the people, to elect a new popular Ministry, and to
insure the interests of all the people of Austria, with
due regard to the wants of the time, and to the
interests of the whole country. Unhappily his
Majesty was induced, on the 7th October, to take the
much-to-be-regretted step to leave his capital, thus
placing once more the welfare and gloriously
acquired liberty of our beloved country in danger.
The safety and preservation of the highest
good of
the citizen and of man can only be maintained by
the people of Vienna, by all Austrians who have a
heart for their country, showing that firm and
political coolness and high-minded generosity, as was
the case in May. People of Austria ! People of
Vienna! Providence has imposed upon us a great
and a difficult task ; we have to execute a work
which, if it succeeds, will surpass anything the world
ever witnessed I We have to constitute a political and
fraternal state from many different races, the basis of
which is to be equal rights, the vital essence of which is
i
to be—Liberty for all ! People of Austria . the Diet
has the firm resolve to do its duty for the realization
of this great object. Do ye yours! Your confidence
elected us; your confidence alone can make us strong.
What we are is all through you ; and we wish to be
for you. In obedience to the laws of necessity and
of the constitutional monarchy, the Diet has decreed
as follows :-1. That the Ministers Dobhloff, Horn-
bostl, and Kraus are to take the guidance of affairs,
both to regulate and ensure the success of the new
elements, to lay before his Majesty, as soon as pos-
sible, a list of the new Ministry, and to stand in con-
tinual communication with the Diet. 2. That a
memorandum be presented to his Majesty in reply to
his manifesto, informing the constitutional Emperor
of the actual state of affairs, and
assuring him of the
immutable love of his people. People of Austria!
Europe is looking upon us in admiration (Bewun-
derung), and history has noted down our elevation to
liberty in its most glorious paPs• Let us obey the
laws—remain true to the constitutional monarchy
and to liberty. God preserve Austria!

"Vienna, Oct. 7, 1848."
At nine o'clock on the morning of the Bth the
sitting oLe Diet was opened, and the following re-
solutions adopted :

" 1. The Diet resolves not
_to dissolve, and to
remain faithful to its duty.
" 2. The Diet will stand on constitutional grounds,
and will only use legal measures for the safety of the
country, the liberty of the people, and the hereditary
throne."

The chiefs of the Tschcches party were absent
from the Assembly ; it is probable that they have
gone to try to reach Prague before the EMPEROR,
who, it is reperted, has taken that route.
