AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Nov. 27.—Within the last few days guns
of considerable calibre have been placed on the inner
bastions which command the principal gates. Palli-
sades have also been erected in various places. Divi-
sions of troops are continually leaving the city for
Hungary, whither Prince WINDISCUGRATZ and Baron
JELLACHICH will also proceed in the course of a few
days. Yesterday those Generals received a deputa-
tion from the resident merchants, who afterwards pro-
ceeded to the Governor, Field-Marshal WELDEN.
Our Ministers are expected to return from Krem-
sir to-morrow. It is said that they have prayed the
EMPEROR to grant an amnesty to all those who were
involved in the October excesses, of course excluding
the murderers of Count LATOUR.

The report that has been current here for some
days, that General RADBTZKY has had a fit of apo
plexy, nay, that he had even died, has happily proved
incorrect.

Our last accounts from Transylvania are melan-
choly, nay, they are terrific. Murder, conflagrations,
plunder, and devastation prevail everywhere between
all. The unholy combat is no party combat, it is no
war, it is slaughter and extirpatiou. General Bum-
NER is now approaching.—Hamburgh Borsenkalle,
Nov. 30th

The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th says :—" The
Communal Council of the city, considering that his
Serene Highness Field-Marshal ALFRED Prince of
Windischgratz will probably leave for the army in
Hungary in the course of a few days, did in its sit-
ting of the 24th November unanimously resolve to
present the illustrious person with the following ad•
dress :

" Your Serene Highness,—The Communal Council
of the city of Vienna, in the arduous task which since
the moment of its constitution it was compelled to adopt,
deeply moved by the tremendous events, and forcibly
agitated by the spectacle of the most virulent passions
and the complet.) subversion of legal order, was in this
painful position able thankfully to recognise the mild-
ness and humaiity which your Highness never failed to
exercise.

" ' Though called upon to restore by force of arms
that order which had been shaken to its foundation;
though compelled by the continuation of a manifestly
fruitless opposition, by the infringement of a sacred
agreement, to the adoption of extreme measures, your
Serene Highness nevertheless, with singular forbearance,
granted the request of the Communal Council, and the
good citizens represented by it, to give repeated respites,
for the purpose, if possible of bringing the passionately
excited multitude to a sense of reflection; with profound
insight and refined feeling you have known how to dis-
criminate between those who were led astray or terrified
and the authors of the evil.

" Your Highness has executed with humanity the
severe commands of a mild Monarch, and you have thus
entitle vouro..le in his vraa bfml tl •or all right-
minded persons.
_ _

" • The new proof of considerate forbearance which has
been shown to the inhabitants of Vienna during their
extreme remissness in delivering up their weapons, in-
duces the Communal Council most respectfully to take
advantage of the occasion of your Highness's approach-
ing departure to tender you their most sincere thanks,
and to add their request that your Highness will Pest as-
sured that the Communal Council deems it its highest
and most important duty energetically to support the
maintenance of peace and order.
" The Communal Council of the City.
" Vienna, No►ember 24."

This address was very graciously received by the
Field-Marshal, and he replied that it was indispen-
sably necessary that loyalty should be spread through-
out all classes.

The rumour that Prince WINDISCHGRA.TZ has been
shot is without foundation.

PRUSSIA.

The Assembly met at Brandenburg on the 29th
and 30th, but on neither day were there a sufficient
number of Deputies present to make a House ; but
as there was some hope entertained that there would
be a fuller attendance on the following day, the motion
of M. StmoN, for summoning the absent Deputies,
was postponed.
Berlin remained tranquil en the 27th ult.

FRANKFORT.
The German Parliament, in its sittings of the 29th
and 30th, was occupied in the discussion of the -re-
port of the Committee on Austrian affairs. The ma-
jority of the committee moved--
"In consideration that the Imperial Ministry has
already been requested by the resolution of the As-
sembly of the 3d instant to obtain the full acknowledg-
ment of the central power in Austria to watch over
German interests in every part of Austria, and to pro-
tect the rights and liberties guaranteed to the Austro-
German people against every attack, but the measures
hitherto taken for this purpose having proved insuffi-
cient, the National Assembly calls again upon the Im-
perial Ministry—

" 1. To take energetic measures that the resolution
of the 3d instant may be executed, and that the excep-
tional state of things at Vienna cease as soon as order
and tranquillity is established there.
"2. To obtain through the Imperial commissary for
Austria, without delay, the open and decided acknow-
ledgment from Austria of the Central Power, as also
the carrying out of the resolutions of the German Na-
tional Assenibly in the German provinces of Austria."
The following is the motion of the minority :
" Considering that the Imperial Commissaries,
Welcker and Mosl4, were not able to succeed in obtain-
ing that esteem in their relation with the Austrian
authorities, which is due to the Central Power and its
agents; and considering, further, that besides the steps
taken by the Commissaries (which the Assembly cannot
approve), it has become evident the Imperial Ministry
has not been able to secure to the Central Power, in re-

lation to Austria, that position which the Central Power
should occupy in relation to every individual State—
" The Assembly calls upon the Central Government
to obtain at last that the laws and resolutions decreed by
the National Assembly be carried into execution in Ger-
man Austria, in accordance with the honour and dignity
of Germany."
Giskra, of Muhrisch-Trubau (Austria) blamed the
conduct of the Commissaries (Welcker and Mosld), and
considered the Imperial Ministry answerable for the con-
sequences of their ill-management in the Austrian ques-
tion, in which they showed, in his opinion, utter inca-
pacity. He supported the motion of the minority.
Weleker, the late Commissary, obtained the word to
defend the conduct of the Commissaries during their
late mission in Austria.
At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Welcker ob-
served that in his opinion Austria must keep together
all its members, and that German Austria must bo con-
nected with Germany; at all events, Austria must not
be severed.

Von Schmerlin,„o. Minister of the Interior, answered
to the attacks of Giskra against the Imperial Ministry.
lie thought it not strange that United Germany was not
acknowledged at London and Paris, since civil war
raged in different parts of this unhappy country, and the
Central Power and the National Assembly itself were
slandered and mocked in the German newpapers and in
public places.
Vogt, of Giessen, asserted that the Ministry took a
different course from that of the majority of the House.
The Ministry did not suit the Assembly. The German
people now well know that the measures taken by the
majority for their interest more, or less were spoiled in
their execution by the Ministry.
After Mr. Vogt's speech the Assembly pronounced
the conclusion of the debate, but adjourned the vote.
On the 30th the question was put to the vote, but
neither the motion or the majority of the committee, nor
that of the minority, nor any one of the amendments
proposed by the Members, could be carried. The simple
order of the day, and the order of the day motive, which
were both proposed, were supported only by a small
fraction of the Right. The motion of the majority was
declined, by a vote of 220 against 219; that of the mi-
nority by 270 against 185. An amendment by Wagner
was declined by a majority of merely three votes, 224
against 221. In consequence of this strange voting. the
Assembly decided to refer again to the same committee
the different motions and amendments for reconsidera-
tion and a new report.
Previous to voting, the reporters, both of the mi-
minority and majority of the committee, recommended
their respective motions.
