BAVARIA.

A letter from Munich, dated 29th April, mentions
the election of the Herren HERMANN and FALL-
MURAYER and observes that the town was threatened
with disturbances by the populace on account of the
absence by the soldiers, but that the description and
numbers of the Free Corps of Citizins has served to
overawe those disposed to violate peace and good
order. In one part of Bavaria almost one-fifth of
those elected as electors of the representatives are
clergymen.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Assembly of the Danish States has been
opened at Roeskilda by the Royal Commissary,
Count SPONNACK, who declared the resistance of
Schleswig to the proposition of an incorporation
with Denmark as nothing less than open •rebellion.
Addresses to the KING and the army were proposed,
and unanimously adopted by the Assembly. Re-
monstrances were made by several of the Members
against the conduct of the Minister of Marine in not
having blockaded the mouth of the Elbe. In answer,
an assurance was given that two frigates are fitting
out with that object.
Two Danish vessels have been captured in the
Elbe, the one by the Hanoverian brig lying off Stade
who fired into her. The other vessel was captured
at a distance off Cuxhaven by the quasi-Hanoverian-
Hamburgh steamer Gutenberg.
We have nothing particular from the seat of war.
The Prussians will march into Jutland and Seeland,
and attempt the Belt—this is the plan laid down, and
preparations are made for it. The island of Alsen
Will be the next place where hard fighting is expected.
The place is entrenched on all sides. The bulk of
the Danish troops are already there, supported by
several armed steamers, brigs of war, and upwards
of sixty gun-boats ; the life and death struggle of
Denmark will be here, and the allies know well the
strength opposed to them, as they will not attempt
any attack before the heavy artillery from Hanover
gets there.

It is expected that Denmark will proclaim the
blockade of the Elbe in a day or two.
A letter from Hanover of the 30th ult. states that
General lIALKETT had written to the KING, an-
nouncing that, on his arrival on the coast opposite the
eland of Alsen, the Danes quitted their entrench-
taenta Without firing a shot. He took possession of
these entrenchments, but states that the attack on the
island would be a work of great difficulty, as it is
Well protected by artillery and Danish ships of war.

IT A T

VENICE.

It appears from the accounts received from Italy
in France that the Austrian Genera], NUGENT, is
making great progress in the Venetian territories.
The Journal des Debats says—
" We hive received disastrous accounts from Frioul.
General Count Nugent, who has re.c,-ntly crossed the
Isonzo r,t the head of an ..xustrian corps of 12,000 men,
makes fresh progress every day. The canture of Udine,
the capital of Frioul, is fuliy confit med. But a much
greater check for the Italian cause consists in the capi-
tulation of the fortress of Palmanova, which took place
on the 25th ult. This fortress, which is one of the
strorn,rest in Italy, was the bulwark of the Republic
provinces. It was commanded by General Zaccht, on 2
of the veterans of the Italian army in the time of Na-
poleon. We reckoned much on the merit and on the
courage of that officer! but we must add, that the 6,000
or 8,000 it en whom he had berm able to assemble were
quite in,ufficient to defend the fortifications, which are
on a most extended scale.

" We have before us the Venetian journals of the 25th,
but we find nothing in them but false reports of a pre-
tended defeat of the Austrians at the gates of Udine.
When we see this want of news at such a critical mo-
ment, we cannot but deplore the incredible &pithy of the
Venetians, who confine themselves to accusing the
Roman General Durand°, as if from the banks of the
Po, where he had onl) just arrived, he could immediately
transport himself to the frontier of the Frioul."
The Augsburg Gazette, of the 30th ult , contains
the following letter ft oni Trieste, of the 26th :

" Several letters have reached this place from Gontzia,
on the Isonzo, and from Cormono, the frontier of the
Frioul. containing the account of the surrender of Palma-
nova on the 25th, on the med,ation of the Archbishop
and of some delegates from Udine, and that the Austrian
troops immediately entered the place."
