papers which give the following additional particulars
of the recent events at Berlin and Vienna :

" THE DISTURBANCES AT BERLIN, MARCH 16.
These disturbances were commenced by the mob, who
collected in large crowds in the courtyard of the palace,
and attacked the sentinel on duty with flag-stones, which
they tore up. They were repeatedly desired to with-
draw, but ;replied by a volley of stones, so that it was
necessary to call out the cavalry to clear the courtyard
of the palace. The multitude then marched in wild
disorder down the principal streets, and endeavodred to
re-assemble and keep off the soldiers by erecting barri-
cades and drawing up the bridges. The soldiery, which
were occupied in removing these obstacles, were again
met with a ♦olley of stones, and it was necessary to have
recourse to arms. Order could not be restored
without bloodshed. The burgher guard was sworn in,
and every precautionary measure resorted to fur the
peace of the city.

" ELEVEN 6'CLOCE. AT NIGIIT.—The streets were
quiet, and order appeared to be completely restored.—
Universal Prussian Gazette, March 17.

" VIENNA.—PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR OF
AUSTRIA.—To secure the peace of this capital, which
has b. en so greatly disturbed, his Majesty the Emperor
has been pleased to command that all the students, with
the exception of foreigners, shall be put under arms,
subject to suitable regulations.
" His Majesty expects that all the burgher guard
will strengthen it as much as possible, and co•operate
enegetically for the preservation of peace.
" His Majesty has already formed a committee to
deliberate upon measures suitable to the present exigen-
cies, and will add to it, not only members of the State,
but also of the civil body.
" His Majesty expects that a new proof of his pa-
ternal care will be seen in those measures, and that peace
will be restored, otherwise his Majesty would with pain
be compelled to call in the force of arms.— Wiener
Zeitung, March 14.
" Prince Metternich, Chancellor of State of the
House and of the Court, has resigned his post into the
hands of his Majesty the Emperor. The formation 'of a
new Ministry is said to have been confided to Count
Kolowrat and Count Montecueuli.—Universal Prussian
Gazette, March 17.
"The Prussian Gazette of the 17th ult. says that intel-
ligence had just arrived from Vienna, that in consequence
of the urgent representation of several members of the
Austrian State, and the promise of the Emperor to
grant speedy reforms, had quieted the popular tumult,
and that peace was restored.
" The Augsburg Gazette, of the 14th, says that an
address to his Majesty has been presented by the nobles
of Milan, laying their requests and protestations at the
toot of the throne. The sending of the troops to lily is
on the decline; but, on the other hand, it is stated that
an Austrian Corps of Observation is shortly to be assem-
bled in the Rhine, and, like Belgium and Holland, to
place the troops on a footing of war in case of emer-
gency.

" VIENNA, MARCH 14.—The following is a concise
survey of the events of yesterday at Vienna:—
"The or)ening of the session of the Lower Austrian
Chamber of Deputies yesterday brought together such a
large concourse of the upper classes that even the depu-
ties had a difficulty in effecting an entrance.
"The business of the day was commenced, but scarcely
half an hour had elapsed, when a mass of people forced
their way into the hall, and several individuals demanded
in a loud tone radical reforms in the Constitution. Count
Mon tecuculi, Marshal of the Diet, who possesses great
popularity and judgment, said a few words, and pro-
mised to submit to the Emperor the petition which had
the day before been decided:upon by the Representatives;
and, accordingly, accompanied by an immense body of
the populace, immediately repaired to the palace. Atter
considerable difficulty he obtained access to the Arch-
duke Ludwig,Chief of the Home Department, by whom
be was informed that there was no disposition to make
concessions. It was, however, determined to await the
result of 'a Cabinet Council, which was immediately
summoned. The Marshal of the Diet, and the people
who accompanied him, waited in vain for their resolu-
tion from twelve to four o'clock, and when the result
was communicated to the large body of people assem-
bled without, the indignation of the people knew no
bounds. The students headed the multitude, and
harangued them from the steps of the House of
Assembly. The tumult continually increased, and the
mob amounted to from 60,000 to 100,000 men. Sud-
denly the troops appeared, and fired among the
people to disperse them: ten or twelve persona were
killed and many wounded, among whom was a
student. Meanwhile, the number of the troops and the
mass of the people increased still more. Four pieces of
cannon were placed upon St. Stephen Platz, and the
cannoneers stood by the guns with a burning match in
their hands. The workmen attacked the Bureaux of
the Police, and even some barricades were erected. The
alarm drum was beat, and the Burgher Guard called out.
The Burgher Guard speedily appeared armed, and were
received by the populace with loud acclamations. They
now repaired en masse to the Palace, and were informed
that Prince Metternich had given in his resignation, and
that the wishes of the people should be attended to.
" The people were perfectly satisfied with this decla-
ration, and paraded the streets with demonstrations of
joy till midnight. By command of the police the city
was illuminated. Save the destruction of the police-
office, no damage was done; but all the shops were closed
by way of precaution. The students who patrolled all
night with the Burgher Guard; were supplied by the
Government with arms from the arsenal. The City
Gardens were closed during the commotions, and troops
stationed, in order to prevent the ingress of the invaders.
The people, however, forced the gates, and they
made their way into the city. The commotion
which prevailed cannot be described, and it was of
course quite impossible to transact any business at the
Bourse. No disturbances took place during the night,
but as the troops were still drawn up in front of the
military establishment, a renewal of yesterday's scene
was greatly apprehended, and accordingly, at ten o'clock
in the morning, a deputation of eight armed burghers
repaired to the place to declare that the burghers would
guarantee the peace of the city if the military were
withdrawn. After a long deliberation, this was agreed
to, and the various posts are now occupied by the
burghers' guard, which, in conjunction with the
burghers not in uniform, but carrying red and white
banners, patrol the streets and maintain order.

. .
" The proclamation of the Emperor in the Wiemar
Gazette of this morning has not given satisfaction.
" In consequence of new representations the Emperor
has since accorded—' Liberty to the people, and the
establishment of a National Guard.' The latter is to be
organised by Count floyad.
" The deliberations respecting the other concessions
still continue.

" To-day no business whatever was done at the Bourse,
and nothing was done in the funds.—Hantburgh liorsen
Halle, March 17.

LATEST; INLELLIGENCE FROM BERLIN.
According to a telegraphic dispatch, dated Berlin,
Friday, the 17th, five o'clock, r.m , which arrived at
Cologne at half-past six, order was restored, and that
metropolis continued quiet.

The KING had returned from Potsdam in the after-
noon of the 15th.

I'IIE FREiNCH REPUBLIC,

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday.
The armed demonstration of the people in support
of the Provisional Government against the demands of
the corps delite of the National Guards, an account of
which appeared in The Sun of Saturday, passed off
quietly.
The assemblage of the people was caused by the
following placard, posted up at an early hour in the
morning.

" The people during the combat were heroic, after the
victory were generous, and now are sufficiently magna-
nimous to refrain from inflicting punishment. They are
calm, because they are powerful and just. Let evil pas-
sions, let wounded interests, beware of provoking them !
The people are called upon to give a high moral and
social direction. It is their duty to fraternally call to
order such misled men as may still try to maintain pri-
vileged bodies in the bosom of our equality ! They look
with a severe eye upon these manifestations against that
Minister who has given so many pledges to the revolu-
tion. Let the people then assemble this day, the 17th,
at ten in the morning, in the Place de la Revolution,
and there express their will. We have already shed
our blood in defence of the revolution, and aro ready to
shed it again. We will wait—we, who are often in want
of the necessaries of life. All who at this hour march
against the revolution are guilty of the crime of lese-
humanity. To us, then, citizens ! Rally round the
Provisional Government I Let us again assure it that
we are ready to give it our concurrence in all measures
for insuring order, unity, and the public safety. Vice

The people consider this a great triumph for the
party of " the Progress ;" and on Friday night they
traversed the Boulevards from the Place de la Bastille
to the Madeleine, calling for lights. The citizens
along the line illuminated their houses, and all passed
off quietly.
The 31 eniteur contains the following important
decree imposing additional taxes :
" The Provisional Government, coasidPring that the
interest of the Republic requires that powerful assistance
should be immediately afforded to labour, industry, and
commerce ; considering that it is not less necessary, nor
less urgent to reorganise the military forces of the
Republic, decrees—

' There shall be raised temporarily, and for the year
1848, 45 centimes additional on the entire of the four
direct contributions of that year.
" The centimes bearing on the contribution levied off
landed property shall be at the charge of the proprietors
alone, notwithstanding any stipulation to the contrary
contained in any lease or convention. The amount of
those temporary centimes to be immediately demandable
without any further notice to the taxpayers. The ex-
penses of the collection of those additional centimes are
fixed by the inspectors at one-fourth of the per tentage
paid on ordinary contributions. No additional salary is
to be paid to the general or particular collectors.
" Made at the Government Council, the 16th of March,
1848."
