THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND BO-

HEMIA.

The intelligence from Vienna is only to the evening
of the 13th.

It is said that General AIIHRSPERG has resigned the
command of the troops to Prince :SCHWARZENBURGH,
and that JELLACHICU has joined the troops lately
under the command of AIIERSPERG at Enzersdorf

This account of the junction of JELLACUICH with
AUERSPERG cannot, however, be depended on, as it
is in direct contradiction to the dispatches from
AUERSPERG, read to the Diet on the 13th, in which
he stated that he had ordered the BAN to retire.

According to the Cologne Gazette the Croats ap-
peared on the 13th at the gate of Linimthore, but fled
on the first volley.
The Hungarian army was at Roth Neusiedl, two
German miles distant from Vienna, the very place
where JELLACHICH received and replied to the Depu•
ties from the Diet.

Deputies from the Hungarian army had gone
to Count AUERSPERG, escorted by the National
Guard of Vienna, no doubt to ask him if he sup-
ported the Croatians or not, or if they were to con-
sider him as an enemy.

The Allgemeine Oesterreichische says—
" We should instinctively shrink from an Emperor
who could call such rabble, as many of the Croats are
whom we have seen, his troops; but of this we are
assured, that the Emperor does not know who goes
out to the field in his name. The flight of the mili-
tary from the Schwarzenherg Garten is variously
accounted for. The most credible reason is the
entreaty of the German regiments, who naturally did
not like to fight against their brethren in Vienna.
Another report states that the troops had learned that
in future no soldier should receive any pay except on
the soil of his native land—the Czech in Bohemia,

;he Pole in Poland—A measure which certainly is

justified in :principle, on the equality of nationalities,
but which is said to have induced the Poles to demand
leave to return to their own country.
" It was stated in the Diet that the professors and
students from Salzburg had arrived at Vienna to
conquer or, die for liberty. 500 National Guards had
arrived from Gratz. Olmutz sends an admirable
address of sympathy, and places its guards at the
disposal of the Diet. A proclamation from Prince
Windeschgratz was also read, which was widely cir-
culated in Bohemia and Moravia, wherein the events
at Vienna are placed in a disgraceful light, and the
introduction of a Military Government is, on the
contrary, placed in admirable perspective, as the
only means of safety. On the requisition of the
Minister Krauss the duty on provisions fur Vienna
was abolished. . .

" The address of Borrosch, and the deputies chosen
to present it, have already gone off to the Emperor."
The sum of 600,000 florins, WhiCh JELLACHICH
expected to receive at Vienna, has been seized by the
Diet, in the house of Count ZICHY.

The following proclamation has been published by

he Diet :

"In consequence of the declaration made public at
Prague by certain of the Bohemian Deputies, the Diet
decides that it has never in its deliberations during
the late days of trouble broken through the rule laid
down. The Diet at Vienna is the only legal consti-
tuent and law-giving authority. The great majority,
mindful of its duty, have not abandoned their seats,
and will proceed uninterruptedly with their task
without allowing themselves to be turned from it by
any hindrance. The Diet has called on all absent
Members instantly to perform their duty to their
constituents and to the united monarchy. This can
only be done here at the seat of the Diet. Any
attempt on the part of Members or others to assemble
at another place in order to take decisions, which it
only belongs to the Diet to do, is illegal and null.
The Diet declares any proclamation to the above effect
null and void, protests against all and any such deci-
sions, and makes the proposers or participators therein
responsible for the consequences.
(Signed) " SMOLK A, President.
" Vienna, Oct. 13."
The following is the text of the rescript from the
EMPEROR :
" To the people of my German Hereditary Pro-
vinces,—When I left Schoubrunn I sent a manifesto
to Vienna for counter-signature and publication, in
which I expressed nay utmost indignation and sorrow
on account of the deplorable and fearful events which
occurred through the bold pretensions of a small but
active faction, hostile to all liberty, although I had
resolved to return without any other guarantee except
the love of the inhabitants. At the same time I ex-
plained the principal object of my journey—namely,
to gain a standing-point in the monarchy more appro-
priate at this moment, from which I should be able
to establish constitutional liberty as a real and lasting
good, common to all, and equally beneficial to all,
without curtailing in any way those advantagss which
already have received my sanction. As by the dis-
turbances at Vienna that manifesto may have been
prevented from reaching its destination, and therefore
may not have become generally known, it is my wish
to notify this circumstance to the provinces, espe-
cially to those through which I travel, in order to
quiet their apprehensions.
" Herzogenbusch, Oct. 8, 1848."

" FERDINAND.

The Rigensburger Zeitung states, on good autho-
rity, that the EMPEROR arrived at Hartberg on the
10th instant, at Neissa on the 11th, and that he
was expected at Znaim on the 12th. He was ac-
companied by the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES, and
also, it was supposed, by the Archduke Louis. His
escort was commanded only by Bohemian noblemen.
He had thrown himself quite into the arms of the
Sclavonians.

The EMPEROR, in his journey, is accompanied by
three companies of horsemen, half a flying battery,
and a division of light horse; his suite fills five royal
carriages, and following these vehicles there are some
companies, in the same order.
The EMPEROR, it is supposed will for the present
take up his residence at Brunn, in Moravia, which
is situated at nearly an equal distance from Vienna
and from Prague, and which is near the strong
fortress of Olmutz, into which the EMPEROR could
retire in case of necessity., Other accounts state
that the EMPEROR intends at once to retire to
Olmutz.

It was rumoured that WlND.EscacateTz had been
nominated Minister of War, and that HORNBOSTL
and DOBLILOFF had tendered their resignation on
account of that appointment.
The German association in Austria has protested
against the crossing of the German frontiers by the
Croats, and has sent that protest to the Administrator
and to the National Assembly at Frankfort.
Advises from Prague of the 11th inst., in the
Kolnische Zeitung, state that WINDESCLIGRATZ had
been appointed Commander•in-Chief of the army to
be marched on Vienna; that 90 pieces of artillery
had been sent to the capital from Budweis, and that
there was a firm resolution to act with all energy and

severity.
The Kolnische Zeitung has also letters from Prague
of the 13th inst. They
say that by the events at
Vienna the gap between the German and Czechish
inhabitants lad been widened. In the Sclavonic
Central•Blattern a fanatic attempt was made on
Germanism and on the Frankfort faction. The
Sclavonic agitators, HOMAN and STUB, excited the
students against the Magyars ; there were also bitter
words uttered against the Germans. The deputy
RIEGER asserted that he was able to prove that the
movement at Vienna had been effected by Hungarian
money. All speeches in the University of Prague
l o
were delivered in the Czechish language.
Several letters of importance were found in the
cabinet

passage occurs in one of
The some of which have been
published
them, written by M. PitoAßscul under date Athens,
August 30, 1848 :
What makes me most uneasy are our unfortu-
nate relations with regard to Hungary. I think we
ought not to deceive ourselves as to the complete
separation of that country, and it would be one of
the greatest blunders possible to furnish the Hunga-
rians with the means for effecting their object. I
explain that state of affairs by the co-operation of
Esterhazy and Lord Palmerston, and by the influ-
ence which the latter exercises with us. Now, I
have for years considered Lord Palmerston our most
decided enemy, and still consider him to be so; and
to trust to England, as long as that Klan guides her
policy, appears to me an anachronism scarcely to be
equalled.

The writer of the letter then proceeds :

-----
" We hear daily complaint that we want men.
We have men ; but we place the most important
affairs into the hands of those who are not fit for
them. That is, in fact, our deadly evil. The
Russians gain ground in the Danubian principalities.
We have (in the year 15129), with an inactivity bor-
dering on treason, allowed the mouth of the Danube

to fall into their hands, and that at the very moment
when the position of the Russian army was such that
the Cabinet of St. Petershurgh readily would have
listened to any protest. Perhaps even now we shall
allow ourselves to be duped by phrases, and we shall
assist the Russians in establishing their paramount
influence as far as the Drave and the Save. The
Porte resists, but there is no one to back her.
France follows in the train of England! England
is in understanding with Russia ; and Austria and
Germany, who ought to take the lead, are nothing
but zeros."

The news of the Vienna insurrection became known
at Pesth on the Bth inst., and excited the utmost en-
thusiasm. KOSSUTH made a thundering speech. As
the Viennese had furthered the Magyar cause, he
said, Hungary ought not to abandon Vienna. No
negotiations whatever were to be entered into with
the Camarilla, but it was the duty of the Hungarians
to sacrifice themselves in assisting the Austrian

people.
The Government was entrusted to the Committee
for the defence of the country. KOSSUTH was nomi-
nated President, and it was resolved that on the very
same day troops should march for Vienna.
A deputation from the Hungarian Diet has arrived
at Vienna with an address, announcing that the Hun-
garian army had set out for the purpose of conquering
JELLACISICH. It is said that 9,000 Hungarian troops
have entered Vienna, and that 15,000 have gone in
pursuit of JELLACHICH.
It is stated in a letter from Presburg that some of
the men in garrison there shot two of their officers,
who attempted to prevent them from fraternizing with
the National Guards after the latter had got posses•
sion of a letter from JILLACIIICH to General KNOHR,
asking for a reinforcement and for information
respecting the state of public opinion in that town.
It will be remembered that the Ban of Croatia, when
he did learn how matters stood in Presburg, threatened
to bombard it—a threat which, however, he did not
and could not carry into execution.
Some disturbance took place at Trieste at an early
hour on the morning of the 10th, the crowds who
had been waiting up all night for the arrival of the
Vienna mail having insisted upon the opening of the
dispatches, and the communication of their contents.
A company of grenadiers loaded their guns in the
presence of the multitude, but General GIULAI
ordered the former to retire, and partly made known
to the people the nature of the intelligence he had
received. Several persons were arrested.

In the sitting of the 13th of the Diet in Vienna,
after the announcement that the National Bank and

the savings bank of Lower Austria had been placed
under the protection of the Diet, SCHUSELIEA, on
whom the duty has devolved of informing the mem-
bers of the current events of the day, announced
that it had been decreed to devote 2,000,000 florins,
to afford relief to poor workmen, and 200,000 florins
for the maintenance of those under arms. He fur-
ther announced that it was with great difficulty that
the population was prevented from attacking the
troops of tside ; that hitherto peaceable measures
had alone been resorted to, and that a message
had been sent to the EMPSROI, to prevent an
attack on the other side. He read various ad-
dresses from Salzburgh and other towns express-
ing sympathy for Vienna, as also the following
proclamation of Prince WINDESCIIGRATZ to the
Bohemians :

" TO THE INHABITANTS OF BOHEMIA.

" Anarchy and all its disastrous consequences
which have unhappily developed themselves in so
fearful a manner at Vienna, and which threaten to
undermine the foundations of the legal constitution,
impose upon me the duty to leave this with a por-
tion of the brave troops under my orders for the
defence of the sacred person of the Monarch, and
for the preservation of the unity of the constitutional
monarchy. The orderly and peaceful attitude and
the loyal sentiments of the inhabitants of this capi-
tal have given me the strongest assurance that the
lamentable events of June were chiefly the result of
foreign influence. I therefore leave the city and the
country with the firm conviction that order and tran-
quillity will not be disturbed. The honour and wel-
fare of the nation truly depend upon my hopes not
being deceived.
" Prince WIN DESCHGRATZ,
" Commander-in Chief.

SCRUSELICt. then proceeded to report that he had
received a telegraphic dispatch announcing that the
EMPEROR was expected at Olmiitz on the 14th, and
another from Deputy LoiIEER, from Briinn, to the
effect that that city was quiet, and that many De-
puties had gone out to meet the EMPEROR. He had
received a message from the camp of Count ALTERS..
PERG and the Ban JELLACIIICH (EINE Zuschrift aus
dem Lager des Grafen Auersperg and des Banns
Jellachich), that the Count had requested the BAN
to retire. The BAN had replied that he had ap-
proached the Austrian frontier by superior orders;
that he there was informed of the state of the capital;
as an Imperial General, he could not regard himself
as a stranger on Imperial ground. SCHUSELKA fur-
ther announced that he had received a deputation
from the Hungarian camp, demanding an escort to
lead them to Count AUERSPERG, as they were the
bearers of important dispatches. An escort of
National Guards was immediately granted.
