GERMANY
AND

THE NORTHERN STATES,

AUSTRIA.

Letters from Vienna of the 10th state that Lord
PALMERSTON has signified to Lord Poxsossr that
England joins France in insisting that the proposals
made by Austria on the 9th of August shall be
adopted as the basis of the negotiations on the subject
of the settlement of the Austro Italian question.
These proposals included the abandonment of Lom-
bardy by Austria, and by them Austria refuses to
abide since RADETZIEY'S victories.
In reference to the disorders of which Vienna was
the theatre, on the 12th, the Wiener Zeitung says—
" The events of to-day, the theatre of which was the
Ministry of the Interior, cannot but deeply grieve every
true lover of liberty. The burghers most cherished
right—the sanctity of his domestic hearth—was grossly
viulated; and the circumstance is the more to be re-
gretted, for this house is a house of the nation, and the
man whose privileges were thus invaded and ,threatened
was the First Minister of the cation. There can be no
liberty without law, and no law unless the same is re-
spected. How can liberty become the sure bulwark of
our people---after the noble example of England—if the
first officer of the State is to be compelled by
.threats,
demonstrations, and violence, to assent to that which the
law flees not sanction?
" The National Guard, which was hastening to the
protection of the Minister, was compelled to retire. The
uu men tor,,,i •
of the academic legion.
"It is not liberty, but liberties, which are the aim of
a certain party, and as long as this is the case we. can-
not hope for any improvement in the state of our affairs.''
In the sitting of the Austrian Diet, of the 11th,
questions were put to the Ministry relative to the
affairs of Italy, and as to the conditions on which the
mediation had been accepted. Baron DE WESSEN-
BERG, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, requested that
he might give his reply in writing. M. DOOLHOI7
said that their mediation had been, in fact, accepted,
andithat negotiations were going on.
The Breslau Gazette has the following from
Vienna, 11th instant :
" The following are the demands made to the Empe-
ror by the Hungarian deputation, with his replies:—
" May it please your Majesty to order-1. That all
the Hungarian regiments who are not actually before
the enemy may return immediately into Hungary to re-
ceive the orders of the Hungarian Ministry. 2. To or-
der the army which is in Hungary, under pain of punish-
ment, to act against the insurgents, whatever name or
whatever standard they may usurp, and to do its
duty for the defence of the country and the maintenance
of the integrity of Hungary. 3. The Hungarian nation
wishes to regulate the question of nationality and
administration between it and the Creation nation,
according to
the bases of liberty, equality, and frater-
nity. Croatia is now under military despotism, and its
inhabitants cannot express their wishes or their desires
to the Hungarian Legislature. Your Majesty is, in
aishes, and
manner, that
and Fin ntihee, which
consequence entreated to order that tho Croatian nation
p fde si their
a perfidious
may be delivered from this despotism, in order that they

vonian Consulate
may be immediately given up
4. The
Hungarian nation feels no doubt but that your Majesty will
not only oppose the efforts of the reactionists who
only their owninterests in view, but will punish them
5. The Hungarian nation demands, in fine,
that*
your
Majesty will sanction the laws voted by Hungarianthe Diet, will come to Pesth, and support by your
royal
presence the authority of the Legislature and oflaa
Constitutional Government. We the more anxiously e
desire that your Majesty should accede to our prayer, as
a refusal would shake the confidence, and make it s
im-
possible for the Ministry to maintain internal tranquillity
and public order.'"

His MAJESTY replied in the following terms
:.....
" It is painful to me not to be able to respond to the
desire expressed by the deputation of Hungary
relative
to my journey, in consequence of the delicate state of
my health. I will carefully examine the laws presented,
as it cannot be imagined that I can have any intention to
infringe any existing ones. I repeat, that it is my firm
wish to maintain the laws, the integrity. and the rights
of the kingdom of my Hungarian crown, conformably
io my royal oath. As to the other points mentioned,
they are in part settled conformably to the wish of the
nation: with regard to those which are not so, I will
make known my decision through the medium of my
Ministry as promptly as possible."

that the chiefs themselves will recoil before the fright-
ful idea of again plunging the capital into all the horrors
of civil war. We are willing to believe that the agita-
tion which' is observable, and which causes great
anxiety to all good citizens,' is but the emotion insepa-
rable from a period when the right of universal
suffrage is being exercised in the choice of fresh
representatives. We cannot, however, conceal from
ourselves that there aro alarming symptoms, which with
reason, cause uneasiness to the lovers of order. The
clubs have for some time past again raised their tribunes,
and served as the hotbed for the most incendiary pas-
sions. They have uttered the most guilty appeals; the
most sacred laws of society have been there denounced
to the misguided multitude as the cause of all their mi-
sery, and menaces of death have been there made against
the most eminent men of our unfortunate country. The
audacity of the anarchical factions has gone, if possible,
still further; and only on Saturday they dared, in the
Bourse, to violently attack a party of peaceable citizens,
who, under the protection of the law had assembled in
that building to discuss the merits of the candidates who
had solicited the honour of being elected to the National
Assembly. The moderation and the spirit of peace
which the electors of the 2d arrondissement displayed
on this occasion alone prevented the ralle from becoming
a scene of outrage and violence.
" If we were inclined to insist further on this deplo-
rable subject, we Eight bring forward many more
symptoms equally alarming; but, we repeat, we are
anxious to believe that the factions who thus conspire
reckon too much on the agitation produced, both by
existing distress and by the circumstance of the elections.
" They will, we trust, be mistaken; but cruel expe-
rience should have taught all good citizens that to keep
in check the eternal enemies of order and society, they
must support and not abandon the cause of order them-
selves; let them then show themselves; let them not
wait the appeal to the cannon and to the musket to show
the country that the majority are honest men; let them,
while there is yet time, perform their duties as electors
and good citizens; let not a guilty carelessness, or sense-
less disagreements, come to the assistance of a dan-
gerous minority, for the sole reason that it is well dis-
ciplined by mischievous men. Will it be again seen
that well-disposed men do not know how to concert
together to effect a good purpose? Under circumstances
so serious as those in which we are now placed it is im-
possible to believe that it will be so; all good citizens will
surely comprehend what they owe to their country and
to society.'
There have been some riots at Mets, on account of
a rise in the price of bread. In Dordogne there have
been several cases of incendiarism.
