AUSTRIA.

Advices have been received from Vienna to the
21st inst., at which date all was tranquil in that city.
The following proclaingtion has been published:—

" Order and tranquillity have been re-established,
thanks to the good teeling and active assistance of all
classes of this city. This favourable state of things,
which csu,es me the utmost satisfaction, has induced me
to take the necessary steps to revoke, as soon as possible,
the extraordinary measures to which the military
authorities have had recourse during the last few days.
For the honour of the city I hope that my confidence
will not be misplaced.
" Dated Vienna, March 18, 1848.
(Signed)

" The PRINCE ALPREI) WINDISCHGRATZ,
Lieutenant Field Marshal."
" VIENNA, MARCH 22.
" PROCLAMATION.

" We, Ferdinand 1., by the grace of God Emperor of
Austria, King of Hungary, Bohemia, &c., considering
the urgent necessity of bringing back public affairs to a
systematic course, and of eiribling: the authorities of the
Government to meet the immense requirements of the
present and the future, we command by these presents
that all the authorities do maintain all the existing laws
and regulations, in so far as they have not been legally
rescinded by us, as in the case of the law of censorship,
by our patent of the 15th of this month; and we expect,
from the loyal and sound common sense of our sub-
jects, that they will not only obey the same, but that
each man in his own sphere of action will energetically
support the public officers in the discharge of their
functions.

" Given at our imperial and residentiary city of
Vienna, March 19th, in the fourteenth year
of our reign,

BAVARIA.

The Chambers were opened at Munich on the 2-241
by the new King MAXIMILIAN. The following is
the

SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

"My well-beloved and faithful states of the kingdom.
"By the will of the Ring my beloved father and
Prince, endowed with all the virtues of a Sovereign, I
ascend the Throne. Great are the things he has ac-
complished during his reign of twenty-three years. His
memory will be immortalised, not merely in stone and in
iron, but will be indelibly and gratefully impressed upon
our hearts.

" In my proclamation of yesterday, and in that of the
6th of March, I have expressed the fundamental princi-
ples of my government. Faithfully and conscientiously
will I adhere to those promises, and I am proud to be
able to call myself a constitutional King. In order that
every remembrance of former dissensions may disappear,
I have resolved to grant an simusty for all political
offences and transgressions.
"I have taken measures which shall bo legally
submitted to the states of the kingdom, without delay.
They are:—Responsibility of the Ministers—liberty of
the press—election for the Chamber of Deputies—
speedy arrangements for the representation of the Pala-
tinxte— abolition of ground-rents—and projection of a
new legal code.

" I shall like wise cause to be submitted to you the
fundamental principles of legislation on the organization
of the courts of justice; on proceedings in civil and cri-
minal cases, and on penal laws, to which will be added
the projection of a code of police; the general course of
exchange discussed at Leipsic, and a law on the organi-
zation of the superior ecclesiastical authorities of the
Israelites' subsequent projects. I reawear the laws
already accorded in the administration of justice with
open courts, viva voce proceedings, and trial by jury,
likewise a law indicated in IX. of the Appendix of the
Constitution for increasing the provision of the servants
of the state and their families, likewise its extension to
other officials of the state, and lastly a law for improving
the condition of the Jews.

" It is my intention to abolish lotteries, as far as the
state of the receipts of the kingdom in these troublous
times will admit of ; in every case these receipts will
be replaced by others in the next budget.
"I have likewise commenced a comprehensive reform
in the administration of the Landwehr, for the purpose
of effecting a general armament of the people as com-
mensurate with the times.

" Gentlemen, let us calmly and thoroughly investigate
these projects of law. The commotions of the times,
and the immense interests of our fatherland, demand a
closer union of all the German States. I have lost no
time in taking measures for concerting the representa-
tion of the people at the Confederation. We have
entered upon a new era in our public life. It is com-
manded by the spirit which ;iervades Europe. The eye,
not of Bavaria, but of Germany is fixed upon the ap-
proaching deliberations. May they be distinguished by
manly independence, by wise moderation, and an
abeyance of all revolutionary and destructive ten-
dencies.

" The issues of this Diet will determine the position
which Bavaria will hold in Germany. Let us be the
beacon-light to all surrounding states. Let our motto
be ' Liberty and law.'"

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

It appears that the rising is general throughout the
Loinbardo-Venetian kingdom, and that everywhere
the Austrian troops have been repulsed.
According to the Turin journals of the 223, the
fighting between the people of 211ilan and the Aus•
trian troops had continued during the days of the
19th, 20th, and 21st. The people had at last oh-
.
tamed possession of all the principal points of the
and were, when the last accounts left,en-
gaged in attacking the castle. The same journals
announce that Modena had risen, and that Parma
and Piacenza were in full insurrection. The follow-
ing are the details given :
" On the 19th fighting was still going on, the people
being principlly engaged in endeavouring to reduce
the castle, which was supposed to contain about 8,000
to 9,000 men. The inhabitants were in great want of
ammunition, though a certain supply had been sent
from Novara ; they possessed nut less than thirty
thousand muskets. Bodies of peasants were flocking
in from the neighbouring towns and villages, At
the above date Pavia had not risen. A party of Aus-
trian cavalry and Hungarian artillerymen, on their way
from Pavia to Milan, with six pieces of cannon, were
attacktd by the people at Binasco, and the cannon taken.
