GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA,

In the Assembly on the 7th, DonLuovF, in
answer to a question put by BORROSCH, as to how
the law abolishing vassalage and feudal burdens would
be carried into effect, and whether with or without
the instrumentality of the Crown, stated that nothing
could be settled on that point, the question being a
constitutional one, and to be determined by the
Constitution.

The cholera has appeared in Vienna, and two
deaths have occurred.

The Vienna journals of the Bth make no mention
of the alleged contemplated change in the Ministry.
On the night of the 6th inst. there was a torchlight
procession in honour of HERR BORROSCII, whose re-
cent energetic speech in the Constituent Assembly
in favour of popular rights, or rather of the rights of
that body, has rendered him again very popular. In
one of the addresses to the above deputy it was stated
that the people would stand or fall by the 15th of
May, and that behind the minority of the Diet the
majority of the people were reserving themselves for
the last expression of their opinions.

The question of the junction of Austria with the
Zollverein was beginning to be agitated in Vienna.

HUNGARY AND CROATIA.
A letter from Agram, of the sth, states that the
advance of the army has been irrevocably fixed for
the 7th; 56,000 men will set out on their march
across the Warasdin and Csakaturn, under the com-
mend of the BANN in person. The manifesto of the
BANN was to be published at Agram on the 6th.
The garrison of Essegg has declared, in answer to
a question addressed to it by the Hungarian Minister
of War, that it will observe strict neutrality between
the Hungarians and the Croatians, and that it will
defend the fortress to the last extremity, until the
EMPEROR gives orders to deliver it up to one party
or another. It adds, that it considers the placing of
ten companies of Hungarian National Guards in the
fortress as a violation of the neutrality, and as a
declaration of war against the Croatians, against
whom the garrison declares it will not combat. The
reply to the Hungarian Minister of War is signed
by the colonel and all the dicers in the garrison,
and they request that he will forward the document
to the Minister at Vienna. The Hungarian Minister
of the Interior has issued a circular stating that the
insurgent Croatians had been defeated, and that their
camp at Perlass had been taken after a two hours'
conflict.

The deputation from the Hungarian Diet, sent to
beg of the EMPEROR to come in person to Pesth, and
above all to bring the question between Hungary and
Croatia to an issue, was not received by the EM-
PEROR, and had returned to Pesth. Field-Marshal
BECHTOLD had been deserted by most of his corps as
he was about to attack St. Thomas, the troops say-
ing they would only attack by order of the EMPEROR.
He had, in consequence, been obliged to resign his
command. Comorn has declared itself neutral, as
well as Essegg.

PRUSSIA.

Berlin journals of the II th inst. have arrived.

The KING had not up to that date come to any de-
cision respecting the acceptance or the non-accept-
ane of the resignation of the Ministers.
On the night of the Bth a popular serenade to the
Deputies of the Left was given in front of their club.
Energetic speeches were delivered from the balcony
by WALDECK, STEIN, BERENDS, REICHENEACH, and
VUGE, the last Deputy in Frankfort.
Ills Prussian MAJESTY (in conjunction with all
the Zollverein states) has issued a decree subjecting

to an increased duty, from Sept. 15, to Dec. 31,1848,
a variety of foreign articles, of which the following
are the principal—silks, silk stockings, lace, shawls,
gauze trimmings, gold and silver wares, and silk or
half silk ribbons, on all which articles the additional
duty henceforth will be 110 thalers (about 161. 10s.)
per cwt.; white three (or more than three) threaded
woollen and mohair yarn, half woollen and silk, and
all coloured yarn, which will be subjected to an ad-
ditional duty of 8 thalers 45.) per cwt. English
combing yarns are exempted from the additional
duty. This increase of duty is intended as a reprisal
against France for offering a premium on the export
of certain goods.
