THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND
CROATIA.

VIENNA, SEPT. 28.—We have not yet heard what
impression the Imperial manifesto has made at Pesths
A report to-day says that they have not even been
published there, as a tremendous storm ,was antici-
pated. The circumstance of their not being coun-
tersigned by any responsible Minister appears to be
the main obstacle to their legal publication.
It is likewise stated that Count LAINBEIG has
refused to accept the command in chief assigned him
of all the troops in Hungary.
The next post must bring us more decided in-
formation on this point. JELLACHICH, as it appears,
had not yet reached Ofen, as it was asserted here
yesterday ; in fact he had not yet entered Shutel-
wessenburg, but was standing between Wersprun and
that place.
A private letter from Vienna, which speaks of the
manner in which the Camarilla has blazed up the
already kindled Croatic question, states that the
Archduke STEPHEN, during his short visit at Vienna,
succeeded in opening the eyes of the EMPEROR, who
is kept in the dark as much as possible as to the actual
state of things, and that the manifesto to the Hun-
garian people and to the army in Hungary, which
contain the resolution to effect an amicable arrange-
ment and decree an armistice, may be ascribed to the
Palatine. The intrigues of the Sclavonian party are
not merely for the suppression of Hungary, but of the
German states of Austria, and which found food in
the Hungarian Croatic General, seems, for the pre-
sent
at least, to have an impediment placed in its way.
PanstaunG, SEPT. 26.—Advices under this head
inform us that troops have been every where called
out against HUEBAR. A price is set upon his head
he is entrenched with his people.
In Cornova, the incendiaries who fired this place
have been discovered ; they say that they were bribed
to do so by a woman who was unknown to them, and
who has fled.
PESTIT, SEPT. 23.—KossuTH is gone to ',wino];
for the purpose of inciting the inhabitants against tip-
enemy. At Funfkirchen the Croatic corps did not
halt, but proceeded to Mogacs, and there crossed the
Danube.

The storming of Scenztamas was very unsuccessfu

there was a very thick fog, in which the Izekler

battalion mistook the Hussars for the enemy, and
dispersed them. Meanwhile the enemy succeeded in
effectually entrenching himself. Ofen is being forti-
fied, at Blockscalvary, and Klein-Schwabenberg.
Everybody is at work upon it.
The Wiener Zeitung, of the 20th, publishes, in

extenso, the two manifestos addressed by the EMPE-
Rom to the people and to the army of Hungary. The
first one, addressed to the general inhabitants of that
kingdom, begins by stating that the evil doings of
designing persons in Hungary, who are attempting
to subvert the right nf' th^ 14 zwpcia,-
tive on him to express his opinions. When, in March
last, he approved of the new institutions voted by the

Hungarian Diet, he was under the impression that
they would further tend to uphold the connexion with
his other hereditary estates, a connexion based on a
common dynasty. The excesses—such for example as
the persecution, in many places, of the Jews—which
arose after the new order of things had been esta-
blished, were attributed by him, not so much to the ex-
citement consequent on the changes then lately intro-
duced as to culpable intrigues, which the power of the
Government would put down. Now, however, that
there is renewed excitement, and that similar ex-
cesses may be apprehended, he is resolved to punish
such doings through the legal organs of the country.
With still greater concern had he observed the at-
tempts of certain persons (some of whom he had
called to the Councils of the Crown) to relax the
connexion between Hungary and the other hereditary
states. That attempt which, in the fulfilment of his
duty as a ruler, he should strenuously oppose, showed
itself in the Hungarian Diet, by their entering into
direct negotiations, without his sanction, with foreign
powers, and by their making the aid to be given to
the army in Italy, dependent on certain circumstances,
by their declaring (or in other words) that they
would not assist Austria in the event of a contest
with the central German Executive, an improbable
contingency (his MAJESTY remarks) which was
only alluded to for the purpose of enabling the Diet
to set forth that right to give only additional aid. He
would not sanction the rupture of the unity of the
army, nor a
,financial operation, which threatens to
inundate the country with several millions of un-
funded paper-money. The contest between Hungary
and the conjoined kingdoms had now reached the
culminating point. The attempted pacification had
not succeeded. He deeply regretted in particular
the war in the district of the Lower Danube. He
had expected that the Hungarian Ministry, without
violating the territorial integrity of the kingdom,
would have acceded to the just demands of the
Servians (Croatians). His expectations were not
realised, and it now only remained for him to put an
end to the horrors of a fatal war.
Attempts had been made to carry out projects of
laws, which had not received his sanction, and to in-
duce his troops to desert their banners.
Whilst resolved to uphold all the legal rights of
the kingdom, he should support those of his throne
by all the means in his power. He relied on the
loyalty of the Hungarian people, and trusted that
they would rather listen to him than to inciters to
public disorder.
In the second manifesto, the one addressed to the
army, the EMPEROR states that some of the Hun-
garian Ministers have either supported or not op-
posed measures tending to disturb the peace of his
Hungarian countries ; and that is the reason a por-
tion of the Hungarian army had not displayed all
that loyalty for which their country was remarkable.
Soldiers had been enticed from their regiments into
the so-called Mobile National Guard and free corps.
Each of the two belligerent parties were calling upon
for assistance. He firmly
the Hungarian army
trusted, however, that all commanding officers would,
in all possible way's, counteract the attempt to seduce
the soldiers, and that they would, moreover, endea-
vour to prevent the collision between parts of one
and the same army.
The Vienna correspondent of the Pv-ussian ~.9taats
Aweiger says—
" Archduke Stephen quitted the capital last night
for 13runn.
" Count Mailath, as Deputy of the palatine, has
been nominated Staadtholder pro ten' of Hungary,
and the command in chief of all the troops, Hun-
garian as well as Croatian: given to Field-Marshal
Lieut.-General Lemberg.'

The
Allgemeine Oesterreichische Zeihtng announces
the commencement of a counter-revolution in
Agram, numbers of Croatians being opposed to a
war with Hungary, and unwilling to aid a soldier
of fortune, as they term JELLACHICII. The English
and French ships of war (with the oxception of the
Terrible steamer) have left Trieste. The inha-
bitants appear to think that their town will be
occupied, at no distant day, by French and English
troops.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
KIEL, SEPT. 29.—The Duke of HOLSTEIN GLUCK-
STADT returned hither to-day from Berlin. There
is no truth iii the newspaper' reports that the object
of his visit was of a political nature.
This evening the Commissioner of the Empire,
STEDMANN, accompanied by our Ambassador
SCHLEIDEN, arrived at Rendshurg from Berlin.,
In the discussion of the Schleswig-Holstein
Assembly on the 20th respecting the re-
moval of the seat of Government to Schleswig, the
note of Lord PALMERSTON, urging upon the Danes
to fulfil the promised modification, was spoken of as a
thing generally known. It appeared in the course of
the discussion that the note bore the date of the 15th
of September.

The King of PRUSSIA has conferred the order of
the Red Eagle of the second class and the star upon
, Baron VON MANDERSTROM, Secretary of the Swe-
dish Cabinet, and, as we are informed, one of the
negotiators in the treaty of Malmo.
FLENSBURG, SEPT. 29.—Great complaints are made
by some of our shipowners that they are not so well
treated as the owners of those vessels upon which the
Danes laid embargo, and which by virtue of the
armistice have now all been suffered to go out of
dock upon payment of the fines and fees, whereas
those vessels which were lent to the Danes for the
purpose of enabling them to transport goods are still
kept, but the reason assigned for this by the Danes
is that it is r,c‘t improbable that they may be again
required.

BERLIN, SEPT. 28.—The KING intends holding
large reviews next week of all the troops stationed in
Berlin, Potsdam, and Spandau.
Prince WALDEM.. R. is still at Munster, where he
has bebn ill for some little time.—Haveburgh Bor-
seithalle, Sept. 29.
