AUSTRIA.

Vienna was perfectly tranquil according to the
latest accounts.
The Austrian Observer contains the following
official article :

" VIENNA, —MARCH 18.
" His Imperial Majesty has been graciously pleased
by a Royal resolution of the 17th, to command the for-
mation of a responsible Council of Ministers ta delibe-
rate on the principles laid down in the Imperial Patent
of the 15th of March.

"This Council of Ministers will consist of the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs, and of the household, the
Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Justice, the
Minister of Finance, and the Minister of War.
" One of the Ministers will be appointed President of
the Council of Ministers, and will take the lead therein.
"His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to
command the Supreme Chancellor to make known to
the burghers of the capital his Majesty's satis-
faction at the faithful loyalty, which, as in
times of old, they have displayed during
the last few days, and to express to them, as the newly
constituted National Guard, his high approbation of their
fidelity and loyalty, their zeal and praiseworthy exertions
for the restoration and consolidation of public peace and
security, and his perfect confidence that they will ever
maintain the same honourable bearing.
"In like manner the admirable conduct of the stu-
dents of the University is equally appreciated by his
Majesty, who desires that his high satisfaction may be
conveyed to the University and other academic institu-
tions; viz., to the presidents, the professors, members of
the faculties, and students, for the devotion which they
have evinced during the last few days, and their very
strenuous exertions for the restoration of the public
peace and security; and these thanks are heightened
by the certain conviction that in so far as is compatible
with the duties of their calling they will ever be equally
willing to co-operate for the consolidation of public

" Alajesty the Emperor, by an imperial decree of
the 17th of this month, in consequence of a humble
petition presented to him, has been pleased to decree
that bills of exchange which ought to have been pre-
sented for acceptance or payment from the 13th to the
18th of the current month inclusive in Vienna, and in
the districts thereunto appertaining, and included within
the jurisdiction of the police, shall be valid for presen-
tation on the 20th of this month.

" Vienna, March 17."

Various addresses have been presented to the Ext-
rotort, expressive of gratitude and loyal attachment.
The Vienna Gazelle of the 16th says—
" Austria has placed herse.lf on a footing of complete
equality amongst the European nations. The ties
which are to unite the several nationalities have become
indissoluble. Yesterday morning the Emperor, our
gracious Sovereign, accompanied by his brother and the
eldest son of the latter, and escorted by the National
Guard, rode out in the streets of the capital in the
midst of the joyful shouts of the crowd which sur-
rounded his coach. This noble confidence he has placed
in the unimpeachable attachment to him of his faithful
subjects has more than all contributed to calm the pre-
sent excited temper of the people. The proof of attach-
ment the King has received on all sides has removed the
last obstacles which can separate the Sovereign from his
people. At four o'clock numerous deputations from all
classes of the population repaired to the palace to thank
the Emperor, who appeared on the balcony, surrounded
by many members of the Imperial Fatmly. In the even-
ing the city was illuminated. Satisfaction is in all faces.
Flags and carpets are hanging out at all the windows,
and great masses of the people are running about the
streets filling the air with vivats,' and singing the na-
tional hymn."

INSURRECTION IN LOMBARDY.
An extraordinary supplement to the I?isorgintento
of Turin announces the revolution at Vienna, and
gives the following particulars from Milan. The
Viceroy having left Milan at five o'clock on the
morning of the 17th, like a fugitive, escorted by 500
hussars, met at Cassano with the courier who was the
bearer of the latest news from Vienna. The fol-
lowing proclamation was posted up at Milan on the
17th :

" The President of the Imperial Government hastens
to announce to the public the contents of the telegraphic
dispatch dated Vienna, 15th instant, received at Zilli on
the same day, and at Milan yesterday evening. His

Imperial and Royal Majesty bas decreed the abolition of
the censorship, the speedy publication of a law on the
press, and the convocation of the German and Slivonie
States, as also the central congregations of the L ,m-
-bardo-Venitian kingdom. The assembly will meet at
the latest on the 3d July next.
(Signed) " ITARTL."

On the 18th M. CASSATI, chief magistrate of
Milan, went at the head of two or three thousand
persons to demand the liberation of the individuals
arrested in the course of the latter months. This de-
mand having been refused, the magistrate retired,
and immediately the people assembled on the
squares and hoisted the tricoloured flag of Italy
(white, red, and green). Several streets were un-
paved, and the tumult increased. A traveller, who
left at two o'clock, saw several pieces of artillery
drawn out with lighted matches. At a short distance
from Milan he heard the report of cannon.
