AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

-- -
We have received intelligence from Vienna to the
19th. The Wiener Zeitung of that date says—
" The EsirEuou has accepted the resignation of
Count KOLOWRAT, who was appointed provisional
President of the Ministry on the 20th of March. The
Count had been engaged in the service of the State
above fifty years.
" His MAJESTY has acceded to the proposals of the
Germanic Diet in regard to the election of Deputies
to the German Parliament, which is to assemble in
May.
" The intelligence from Italy reaches to the 16th.
Field-Marshal RADETzay has concentrated all his
troops on the left bank of the Alincio. An armistice
has been determined upon, and has been observed
with the exception of a few slight skirmishes.
" The delays which have taken place may, in fact,
be ascribed to the declaration made by the British Go-
vernment to the Court of Turin. England—as we
are assured from an undoubted quarter—has not only
expressed. decided disapprobation at the irruption of
king CHARLES ALBERT into Lombardy, but has also
declared that if, in consequence of the late procedures
of the KING, which are contrary to treaty, Savoy
should be separated from the Sardinian States, or
Genoa declare itself independent, he must ascribe
these losses to himself alone, and be individually re-
sponsible for all the other consequences which cannot

e calculated upon, and which may result from
his breach of the treaty."
The accounts from Hungary are to the 15th. On
ances

Presburgh suddenly for Vienna, whence he will im-

left in a steamer for Pesth, under a salute of guns.
The Hungarian 7vlinister of War, L. Mus.utos,

who is stationed at Verona as Colonel of Hussars,
will probably be permitted to remain there in con-
sequence of the exigencies of circumstances, and
the Prime Minister, L BATIIYANI, meanwhile take
charge of the War Department. A violent
opposition is, however, made at Pesth against
the employment of the Hungarian military
beyond the Hungarian frontiers; and the Pesth
Committee of Security has requested the Ministry
to recal the Hungarian military from Italy and
Galicia. At a large popular assembly at Pesth,
deputies from Poland and Italy were received with
enthusiasm, and torch-light processions were after-
wards given in their honour. About 400 Poles,
living in Pesth, have returned home with consider.
able succours for the purpose of taking part in the
reconquest of Poland.
The excitement against the employment of the
Hungarian military in Italy has reached a great
height at Pesth. There was a report on the night
of the 10th that a portion of the garrison of
Pesth would leave secretly, in consequence of which
the National Guards assembled in their different

Auarters, in order to oppose their departure, with their
weapons in their hands. The immediate and timely
appearance of the Minister, who promised to make
instant inquiries respecting the origin of the report,
succeeded in allaying the excitement in some degree.
On the 12th one of the National Guards circulated
Italian proclamations among the Italian soldiers of
the garrison. An officer who observed this had him
arrested and the doors of the barracks closed, but
immense crowds immediately assembled and threat-
ened to storm the barracks. Not only was the
National Guard set at liberty, but the officer who
had arrested him was called upon to answer for his
conduct.

The Pesth Hirlass very impressively demands the
giving up of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and
the concentration of the Austrian troops on the
Russian frontiers.

The following is a brief summary of the principal
points of the new Austrian Constitution :
The Upper House is to consist of about 200 mem-

bers, one-fifth of them to be nominated by the
EMPEROR. The heads of the princely houses are
also to have a seat in this assembly ; the remainder
to be elected by the landed proprietors who pay 1,000
florins and upwards annually of taxes. The Lower
House is to be on the broadest democratic basis ;

every nun is to have a vote, and to be eligible as a
representative. The number of members to be about
400.

HANOVER.

Accounts from Hanover to the 20th have been re-
ceived.

By the energetic exertions of the Minister peace
and order has been restored at Hildesheim. Twenty-
seven of the ringleaders have been arrested, and a
committee of investigation has already been appointed.
General VON RETTBERG, who had the command at
Hildesheim, has tendered his resignation. He had
received orders immediately to resort to arms if the
imposed conditions were not complied with; and
although the command was stringent, the veteran
general fell into an unlooked-for dilemma, which
caused him to delay the carrying out of his orders.
The Government plenipotentiary requested him
to delay till he should return with a deputation
from Hanover, which should effect the release of
Weiuhagen, from which step the return of peace
was confidently looked for. The general gave his
word of honour, but the Government plenipotentiary
did not return, and the general, who was bound by
his word not to resort to severe measures, sent an
officer to Hanover by an extra train, for the purpose
of receiving orders. The answer was his dismissal.
The general, who was greatly beloved, is univer-
sally pitied, as he was a brave soldier in his young
days.
Lieutenant-General HAMLETT, commander of the
Schleswig Holstein army, has sent an aide-de-camp,
Captain LEONHARD, with the notification that all the
preparations were complete. He has returned to
Rendsburg, charged with the command immediately
to attack the Danes. Major WISSELL, of the artil-
lery, is charged to throw up fortifications at the
mouth of the Elbe and the Weser, and will start for
those places forthwith.
