VIENNA.—The Wiener Zeitung, of the 14th, con-
tains no further intelligence from Prague respecting
the recent events there. The Ministry have sent a
high civil and military commissioner to Prague, by a
special train, in order to make inquiries into the origin
of the riot, and to endeavour, by suitable measures,
to quiet the exasperated state of things which prevails
there. We have since ascertained, from our own
correspondent, that no official intelligence had been
received at Vienna from Prague, in consequence of
the telegraphic communication having been inter-
rupted since the 13th, and the noon train not having
arrived.

RETURN OF THE EMPEROR.
The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 13th inst., says—
" With regard to the return of the EMPEROR to
Vienna I am able to inform you, on the best autho-
rity, that he will depart from Inspruck on the 18th
or 20th, will take the route by Lintz, whither he
will proce€d by steamer to Persenburg or, Vienna,
and remain there till the 25th. On the evening of
the same day he will arrive at Schonbrunn, and on
the 26th open the Diet.

"There was a most tremendous hailstorm here the
day before yesterday. The hailstones were as large
as pigeon's eggs. Considerable damage was caused
and thousands of pains of glass were smashed to
pieces."

INSPRUCK, JUNE H.—Count STADION, whose
arrival has been expected here (luring the last two
days with the greatest impatience, arrived to-day, but
his summons by an autograph letter from his MA-
JESTY has not had the desired result. Count STA-
DION, after closely investigating the state of affairs
in Vienna, appears to have arrived at the decided
resolution to decline the formation of a new Ministry,
and in his first conference with the EhIVEROB, this
morning, he stated his resolutions clearly and unre-
servedly. Times are past when an officer must be
accepted by a Sovereign's command, and when an
Emperor may be permitted to say, " Because you
do not understand anything of finance, I
will appoint you the President of Finance."
In days like these it is indispensable to
have the prospect of acting permanently, which
will not be the case with any new Ministers. Mis-
trust prevails respecting all the Cabinet departments,
and Count STADION does not bring popularity with
him from Galicia. He is accused justly or un-
justly, it matters not which, of being inclined to
favour the endeavours of the aristocracy. It de-
cidedly balconies more evident that there is but one
man who, at this eventful time, possesses the requi-
site public confidence and the indispensable know-
ledge of business, and for taking the lead in the
State and opening the Diet, and that is TILLERS- .
zurr. pamseposzr, therefore, remains in office, I
i

and STADION returns to Lemburg, unless some
unexpected change should be made this even-
ing. It has been at the same time resolved
that the Court shall quit Inspruck either this week
or at the commencement of the next, make a short
stay at Saltsburg, Yschel, Linte, and Persenburg,
and arrive at Vienna just before the opening of the
Diet. May it never he forgotten, that in Vienna
alone—a centralization—a Government is possible.
The true hearted- Tyrolese mountaineers have nobly
and cheerfully exerted themselves to testily their
love to their SOVEREIGN, but the Tyrol is not Austria.
The presumption, the arrogance, nay, the audacity of
the students may be condemned, and punished by
other measures—mollilications, flight, and p'
crastination ; and since the return of the
Court to Vienna ought to take place, some
bounds should be put to the so-called Ca'
manilla by granting them furlough, for otherwise
there will be not only a renewal of the late events,
hut probably yet snore serious demonstrations and
unquestionably increased want of confidence.

Speaking of the discomfitures sustained by the
noble Austrian army in Italy and Lombardy, the
HeidelbuT Deutsche Zeitung says, the valiant Aus-
trian army sustained the first and actual discomfiture
in Vienna itself; by the combined students and Work-
men, and in Inspruck by the fugitive Emperor'
Austria, that great and noble empire, is going to the
ground.—Allgemeine Zeitung, June 14th.

PRUSSIA.
RIOTS IN BERLIN.
Serious riots, attended with loss of life, in
consequence of a collision between the militarf
and the people, took place at Berlin on the 14th.
The gates of the Royal Palace are ordinarily open
for the admission of the people. On the 14th, b°!:
ever, they were closed, and the people cornmenT
an attack on them, which was resisted by the mil'.
tary. The correspondent of the Cologne Gazette
gives the following account of the imeute :
" We have again had a day of disturbance and
tumult. Great precautions had been taken for ensuring
the safety of the Constituent Aisembly, in which adelote
on that very subject was being very hotly carried OA
Yesterday placards had been posted in the town, signe"
by the President of the Police, prohibiting the sasslaci
bling of people in groups in the Castanienwald, 013
apparently in order to give force to the prohibition,
our
battalions of the civic guard were posted at an early heti
in the morning on that spat, as well as in all the th°-
roughfares leading from the Sing Academie. Tuadt was
first caused by au attempt to clear the place ectu-
thickly-packed crowd which had assembled there. "'—
greatest annoyance had fur some time been caused by 51
order of the head marshal of the court closing the pot,:
of the royal palace, the court being ordinarily used as
thoroughfare. It was thought that this order would not
be put in force, but when the gates were closed to.day•
cry was raised, Barricades must be made before the Pa;
lace,' and a large crowd commenced carrying this Orel!
into execution. The gates were forced from thelr
hinges, and were about to be thrown into the vOterii
when a student who was by said they would be useful
elsewhere, and called on the people to take them to ter
university, in order that they might serve for the better
security of the students. This advice was followed, and
the gates and :bars were brought to the university'
From thence the mob again ;went to the palace' the
portal of which had meanwhile been occupied by ho
Civic Guard. It was then that one 'Muller, °he
led the people, proposed that all the bars round,f,,,
Palace should be removed; and as they were procee°l7,
to do so they passed before the Arsenal, where it
suggested that arms should be obtained. By this titer
the Civic:Guard had occupied all the avenues. An °,61,
attempted to read a proclamation, but the tumult

creased, and the people crying "To arm, toiarres; 0
streets by the Arsenal were besieged by the People, w.hk,

ing in the wall. The Castanionwald and the Lind
were also thickly covered with tumultuous crowds.

BERLIN, NINE O'CLOCIE, r'74. 011
The National G uards and the troops have fired
the people. Three men have been killed and soe r'
wounded. Barricades are being raised, and great feat
are entertained for the night.
