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 Citizms has served to
overawe those dis;posed to violate peace and good
order. In one part of Bavaria almost one-fifth of
those elected as electors of the representatives are
clergymen.

AUSTRIA.
We have received letters from Vienna of the 30th
of April. The intelligence of the contest at Cracow,
of which some accounts reached Vienna on the 28th,
produced considerable sensation at the Bourse. The
Five per Cents. closed at 66k, and Exchange with
London at 11 20. The contest at Cracow appears to
have been chiefly brought about by French emissa-
ries (" barricade-makers"), and a marnber of Polish
emigrants, unconnected with Gallicia.

The following official documents, published in an
extraordinary supplement to the Abend-Blatt of to-
day possess considerable interest.

their duty, and that then, if they should prove in-
sufficient, the military must interfere. Though un
