HANOVER.

The KING, on the 19th, officially notified to the
Burgher guard that he had dismissed FALCKE

from the Ministry, and had appointed as Minister,
STUBE, the Liberal Deputy of Osnaburgh, who, for
refusing to abet the tyrannical measures of King
ERNEST in the beginning of his reign, had been stn'
prisoned for several years. On the 20th the KING
issued the following proclamation :
" Ilanoverians I In answer to many representations
which have reached me, I hare already abolished the
censorship of the press, permitted the publication of the
proceedings in the Estates, recognised the right of asso-
ciation, granted the desired amnesty and restored. n of
rights to all who have been condemned for political
offences—a cencession which I now by these presents
expressly declare—and with regard to several other
points promised further consideration and legislation ;
but I can do nothing more until the Estates a
the Kingdom are assembled, with which view I have
given orders that by the time they meet all necessary
preparatory measures shall have been taken.
"In particular, I will, under the now essentially
altered position of all Germany, lay before the Estates
proposals for a change in the constitution of the country,
which change shall be based upon the responsibility of
the Ministry to the country, and upon the union of the
royal treasury with that of the country.
" I exhort you all to wait calmly the development of
events, and to avoid the disturbances of legal order. •
" ERNEST AUGUSTUS.

LOMBARDY.

Private letters from Milan, of the lgth instant,
state that the Milanese, on hearing of the revolution
at Vienna, had sent a deputation to the Governor to
demand the liberation of the political prisoners
and the institution of a National Guard, pro-
mising, in case this was granted, not to molest
the Austrian troops. On the refusal of the
Governor, the whole population took arms ; men,
women, children, and clergymen, set about erecting
barricades. The Hotel of the Police was carried hi
storm and burnt, and a Provisional Government in-
stalled under the presidency of the former Podesta
Casati. At Brescia, a similar movement broke out
on the same day, and the insurgents made a prisoner
of the Austrian General. The entire province of
Bergamo was in revolt.

The Opinion of Turin, of the 20th, publishes the'
following news from the Novara, dated the 19th
" Milan is insurged, and in a state of siege. The
gates are closed, and the battle rages within. The
people have made themselves masters of five pieces of
cannon, and the report of artillery- was heard up to,
eleven o'clock last night. Five thousand Lomellines
are on their way to Milan to assist their brethren.
The same journal adds, "At half-past *six P.M.,
learn that the Government is in the hands of tile
Milanese ; CASAT is president, and the tri-colour
waves on the Government Palace. Yesterday all the
functionaries had abandoned Milan. The centre of
the movement was in the Broletto. The gendar-
mery and firemen fraternized with the people.
The Hungarians have shown themselves friendly to
the people, who cried, " Viva l'Unghena." The can'
nonading of the Castle began yesterday at five, .and
lasted till eleven P.M. All the public edificei are in
the hands of the people. The Comasina,
and Bergamo, are said at this moment to be in
open insurrection. It is said, also, that the
Swiss corps francs have crossed the frontier,
and that the VICEROY has been made prisoner
near Brescia by a battalion of Italian grenadiols
We learn from Vigevano that the HungariA
cavalry took part with the Milanese; fur'
having received orders to prevent the entrance
of the country people, they allowed them t°
enter in shoals. Last night, at eight, all the
tocsins of the villages on the Piedmontese frontier
were sounding the alarm. The insurrection is gene-
ral at this moment throughout the Lombardo'
Venetian kingdom. Other letters confirm that the
vice-royal palace is in the hands of the people, .0
that the papers, furniture, &c., had been thrown into
the court to be burnt. The Guards, who had tried
to resist, had been massacred or dispersed." The
King of SARDINIA, immediately on receiving the,
intelligence from Milan, assembled his Ministers, one
a long consultation took place. Several estafettes
soon after left the War-office with orders for the
formation of three corps of observation on the frog'
tiers of the Ticino and Po, and the organization of
volunteer corps at Chivasso, Casale, and Novi.
The Risorgimento of Turin publishes, from $
journal printed at Milan in opposition to the autho-
rities, on the 18th, at the commencement of the
movement, the following demands in the name of the
people of Lombardy
" 1. Abolition of the old police, and organization
of a municipal one. 2. Abolition of the law of
blood, and immediate liberation of political prisoners.
3. Provisional regency of the kingdom. 4. Imme-
diate freedom of the press. 5. Convocation of the
Communal Councils to elect the Deputies of the
National Assembly, to be convoked without delay.
6. Civic guard, under the orders of the municipality,
7. Neutraility and subsistence guaranteed to the
Austrian troops. Meet on the Corsia di Servi at
three. Order and firmness !" The Risorginzento
announces that RADETZKY, BOLZA, and Toannsarill
were, at the date of the last accounts, shut up with
some troops in the Castaletto at Milan. "Great Ore"
vescence," adds the Risorgimento," reigned at Turinoo
the 19th, in consequence of the news from Milan'
Thousands pressed forward to sign their names t°
the list of volunteers that were opened at the Café del
Giardino Publico. A deputation was sent to the
Ministers to express the desires of the multitude, and'
the answer was, that all volunteers who would repair
either to Chivasso, Cassale, or Novi, would be imme-
diately armed at those places. A battery left Ver-
celli on the 20th, accompanied by the 14th Regiment
of Infantry."
A commissary of the French Government arrived
at Leghorn, on board the Leonidas, on the 14th. It
is believed that he will set out for Florence, and
thence go to Rome.

The moment the rising in Lombardy became
known at Turin, King CHARLES ALBERT convoked
Cabinet Council to consider the expediency ot march-
ing an armed force to the assistance of the• Milanese•

A letter from Turin, of the 19th inst., states that
it was the Archduke REIMER who was arrested at
Brescia, and that when the mail left Milan, the
Austrians were making terms with the insurgents for
the evacuation of the city.
The Patrie of Thursday evening states that the
insurrection at Milan has been successful. It does
not, however, say on what authority it gives this
news, which is not of a later date than the account
given in the supplement of the Risorgimento of Turin.
The following is the account of the Pattie :—" A
very sharp and sanguinary conflict took place
between the people and the Austrian troops. At
two o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th the insure
rection was victorious. The Archduke REGNIER,
the Viceroy, had fled, but he was seized by the
people at Brescia. The Austrian authorities capi•
tulated, after having been able to obtain only
one condition, viz., the retreat of all the Austrian
troops from the Lombardo- Venetian territory. The
tricolor flag has been hoisted in all th* towns of
Northern Italy."

BAVARIA.

ABDICATION OF THE KING-THE CROWN

PRINCE PROCLAIMED.

Munich, says the Augsburg Gazette, was yesterday
(the 18th of March), in a state of great excitement.
Some nine or ten thousand men occupied all the
public places and thoroughfares. An immense crowd
is in the streets, asking the motive of this unusual
display. People speak of a coup-de-main, planned by
the aristocratic and ultra-montane party, for obliging
the KING to appoint a co-regent. The citizens went
to the Minister of the Interior to charge him with a
message, assuring the KING of their loyalty. It
was resolved that the Town-hall, where it seemed a
popular meeting had been convoked, should remain
doled during the whole session of the Diet. Some
people affirm that money had been distributed among
the lower classes for the purpose of creating a riot.
A telegraphic dispatch has been received by the
French Government, announcing that the King of
BAVARIA had abdicated, an'l that the Caows PRINCE
had been proclaimed King.
