AUSTRIA.

The latest advices from Vienna are to the evening
of the 21st, at which time everything was quiet.
The Wiener Zeitung of the 21st contains the fol-
lowing details of the journey of the fugitives, ad-
dressed to President 1110/STECUCOLI by one of the
gentlemen sent to induce the EMPEROR to return :
"Exc:liency,—l take advantage of the few moments'
delay iu clianf.:ng horses, to send your Excellency a few
details respecting our mission. All along the road we
were informed that the high personages prosecuted their
Journey with the utmost speed possible, and preserved a
strict incognito, except at Strei,gberg, where they break-
fasted. We had hoped to have overtaken their Ma-
jesties at Linz; we were informed at Strengberg that
they had taken the road by Ems, through Klein.Aliin
chon to Salzburg. The greatest sympathy was shown
for their Majesties at Strengberg. They were very lightly
dressed, and had no luggage, on:y 000 servant 0
e eh c,,..riage, none vi Whoa: hail a cloak. Wo,reve•
they were recognised, great respect was shown to them._
At a short distance from Vienna a person in the dress of

a National Guard put his head ii tto the Imperial car-
riage, and exclaimed It is high time you did leave.'
"Ems, 19th May, half-past ten A.M.'

The Wiener Zeitung of the 21: it announces that the
Council of Ministers has not yet . received any further
intelligence from the EMPEROR, and adds that this
circumstance may be satisfactorily accounted for by
the continued increase of the di.stance of the august
travellers from Vienna. There is beside no reason to
apprehend any disaster or interruption on the journey.
The Ministerial Council at the :same time declares
that it has been charged by the High Chamberlain
to take charge of all the Crown jewels and property
belonging to the State. Finally, the Ministerial
Council declares that the report which has been cir-
culated by some designing men of an impending
State bankruptcy is unfounded. _ _

The departure of their MAJESTIE S was so sudden
that they w ere not even provided with travelling
clothes, and had no luggage whatever with them.
On the 18th, the day of his flight, the EMPEROR
transmitted a message to Prague, to Count THUN,
the Imperial Government President of Bohemia,
who immediately issued the following proclamation:—
"By the intervention of confidential persons, his
Majesty the Emperor has transmitted to me a verbal
communication, to announce to his faithful Bohemians,
that, _ _ _

" Deeply moved at recent events in. Vienna, bis Ma-
jesty deems it most advisable to withdraw from thence
for a short period. His Majesty found it difficult to
decide among which of his faithful subjects he should
sojourn; but considerations for his health induced him
to decide in favour of the salubrious air of the Tyrol, and
to go thither accompanied by his Imperial Highness the
Archduke Charles.

" His Majesty firmly depends upon his faithful Bohe-
mians to uphold, in case of need, the Throne, the consti-
tution, and :he power of the Austrian monarchy.
" Firmly persuaded that every Bohemian will be proud
to justify the expectation of his Majesty under all cir-
cumstances, I also am resolved, in defence of these senti-
ments of the Bohemian nation, so to direct the Executive
Government delegated to me by his Majesty for the up-
holding of the Throne and of the constitution as extra-
ordinary relations may demand.
"01 this I have already duly informed his Majesty,
and given a report to the Minister in Vienna.
" LEO COUNT THUN,
" Imperial Government-President.
"Prague, May 19."

In consequence of this a meeting was held, at
which Count 'TUN presided, and a loyal address to
the EMPEROR was agreed to.

SAXONY.
The Saxon Diet was opened at Dresden on the
21st inst. by the KING in person.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

The German Parliament met on Tuesday at ten
o'clock.

A multitude of notices of motion was then made,
by far the most important of which was that of Mr,
Zen, member for Mayence, and head of the burgher
guard there. This went at great length into the
various collisions between the soldiery and the citi-
zens of Mayence; and the insolence and brutality of
the Prussian quota of the garrison troops, was ex-
patiated on in the strongest terms. He went on to
state, that on the last occasion, some Prussian soldiers
in a beerhouse unnecessarily and wantonly used their
weapons upon unarmed citizens. When the burgher
guard interfered for the preservation of the peace,
they were also fiercely attacked, and great loss of life
ensued. 6n the 22d the Prussian General, HusEa,
governor of the fortress, shut the gates, declared the
town in a state of siege, and demanded the surrender
of the arms of the burgher guard. Was such treat-
ment to be borne ? He prayed that the Parliament
should immediately institute an inquiry, and take
into consideration the necessity of forbidding the sol-
diery to wear their side arms off duty, and remove
the present garrison from Mayence, replacing them
with other troops, &c.
Just as the member was leaving the tribune (half-
past 12 o'clock) a slip of paper was put into his
hands, upon which he returned, and stated that in-
telligence had just arrived—" Mayence was again
placed in a state of siege."
It was then whispered in the House that a heavy
cannonading was heard in the direction of Mayence,
and it was believed possible that the governor might
be engaged at that moment in putting his threat of
destruction to the town into execution.

A strong feeling was now evident both in the body
of the house and in the gallery. A stormy discussion
ensued, several Prussian members taking part
therein, when the question was put from the chair,
" Whether the present motion was of so pressing a
nature as to require the usual preparatory step of
going into committee being dispensed with ?" The
majority voted for going into committee.
It was then agreed that the divisions (Abtheilun-
gen) should immediately meet to form a committee
of 16 members; and in order to hear both sides of
the question, and sift the matter to the bottom, a
deputation of their number should forthwith start for
Mayence.
The House adjourned at half-past one o'clock.
The deputation set off at three o'clock.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The report that General WRANGEL had levied a
contribution upon the inhabitants of Jutland to the
amount of 2,000,000 silver dollars, which must be
paid by the 28th inst., is confirmed, but bow the poor
Jutlanders will find the money no one can tell.
It is reported that Denmark will retaliate on Ger-
many for General WRANGEL'S proceedings in Jut-
land, by laying an attachment to the claims that
German merchants may have against Danish subjects.
The amount of these claims are stated to be fully
thirty millions of marks banco ; thus one reprisal
leads to another, and the countries become daily
further embroiled in war.

The Weser Zietung mentions that there is much
probability that the conclusion of peace may not be
so remote as is generally believed.
RENDSBUBG, MAY 21.—A deputation arrived here
to-day from North Schleswig, consisting of inhabi-
tants of the city and of the country, charged with
the mission to make a solemn protest to the Provi-
sional Government, against the partition of any part
of the Duchy of Schleswig, and its incorporation
to Denmark, in case that question should be raised
in the present negotiation for peace. The speaker
of the deputation was Dr. MICIIELSEN, of Ilanpers-
leben.

22.—The deputation had an audience this day of
the Provisional Government. We have not yet learnt
the result of the conference, but no doubt can be
entertained that a favourable reply will be given.
The intelligence of the breaking out of the typhus
fever on board the Dronning Maria, among the,Ger-
man prisoners of war, is unhappily confirmed.

KIEL, MAY 22.—The Galathea weighed anchor
yesterday, and proceeded northwards, and has now
disappeared from our horizon. Whether she will re-
turn alone or in company will probably be decided in
a few days.

According to undoubted authority, Russia, which
was requested to act the part of mediator in the
diplomatic negotiations on the Schleswig question,
has addressed a note to the Prussian Government,
in which it expresses itself by no means in favour
of the claims put forth by Prussia in the name of
Germany, and holds out the prospect of a co-
operation with Sweden (probably by means of a
fleet). According to a correspondent at Berlin, a
reply to this note was sent from Berlin to St. Peters-
burgh on the 20th, and was in a more moderate tone
than would probably have been the case under other
circumstances.

SWEDEN.
STocimum.--The armaments here continue with
great activity. Orders have been received at Canis-
krona, to fit out several vessels, which are to be fur-
nished with provisions for three months. Everybody
is busy in the dockyards. Many fresh hands have
been taken on, and the work is continued without in-
termission from four o'clock in the morning to eight
at night, even on Sundays and holidays. Several of
the people begin to feel the effects of being thus over-
tasked. Prince OSCAR, arrived here some time ago,
and was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The
Norwegian corps, which is expected at Schonen,
already amounts to 5,000 men. Many men have
been enlisted both for the army and navy. About
700 boatmen had been summoned to man the gun-
boats. Several steamers have left for Sehonen and
Gothenburg with ammunition.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The marriage of
Count l'ompeo Troili, a Roman nobleman, an,l Guardia
1c F,ile (..)1 Isis Iluiine,s it IX., ‘l.itl Miss Mann Hoare,
daughter of Captain Richard Hoare, R.N., and niece to
Sir Hughes Richard Hoare, Bart., is fixed to take place
on Thursday neat, the Ist of June.
