THE NORTHERN STATES,

A USiRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 17th states that FRANK
Fizra, of Silesia, aged fifty-four years, has been sen-
tenced to:twelve years imprisonment, for participating
in an armed riot ; and that FRAN 2 NOLLE, of Styria,
in the artillery, has been condemned to eight years
hard labour, in heavy irons, at the fortifications, for
desertion and participation in the revolt. The Wiener
Zeitung contains the following particulars respecting
the ill-fated MESSENIIAUSER, whichl iII be read
with interest :

"As various erroneous reports are in circulation,
which are inserted both in the national and foreign jour-
nals, respecting the property of M. Messenhauser, we
give the following particulars from an authentic source,
which will show the actual state of the case :—lt appears,
from the will of Measenhauser, which has been published
by our magistrates, that ho left 200 guildt.rs in ca,ll in
the hands of the magistrates, besides linen, wearing ap-
parel, books, and literary works. Among the latter is
A Tale of Antiquity," in 10 vols., a romance, Modern
Argonauts,' and a drama, in five acts, Gold has its
Veiglit. These works are all in manuscript, and are
complete; there are also various unfinished literary pro
ductions, the value of which will be decided by some
future historiographer."
The want of money is most severely felt, and:it is
said the heads of the various convents and monasteries
in the Austrian dominions have been summoned to
Kremsier, where an attempt will be made to induce
them to contribute some portion of the immense
wealth possessed by those establishments to supply the
wants of the State.

It was rumoured in Vienna on the 17th, that JEL-
LACUICH had gained a victory over the Hungarians,
but as no particulars are given, we conclude that this
is as apocryphal as the various otherAvictories stated
to have been gained by JELLacnicu.
Theee is a split between the Ministers ancllVlNDiscri-
G!tATZ, the former protest against the exercise of
dictatorial power by the latter, and are anxious to put
a stop to the military executions which are daily
taking place in Vienna. The Diet has authorised the
Ministry to raise a loan of 50,000,000 of florins.
A letter from Vienna of the 16th says—" The
want of money is immense ; not only are the one-
guilder notes cut into eight parts, but private persons
issue paper notes to the value of 10 and 20 kreutzers.
Unspeakable confusion will inevitably result from
such a system. Every merchant now writes upon
a piece of paper ' Valid' for 10 or 20 kreutzers,puts his seal to it, and then gives it to his
creditors as current. How these papers will avert or
amend the confusion is an enigma too hard for solu-
tion, and will puzzle the most clear-headed financial-
ist. In the Ministerial report, presented by the
Committee of Finances on the 16th, signed by the
President, JOHANN lI•GENIEurt, and the Reporter,
S. ZABEL, it is proposed—first, that the Ministry be
empowered to contract a loan to the amount of
50,000,000 guilders ; secondly, that this loan be met
by Treasury Bonds; thirdly, that a loan be con-
tracted by the State, open to competition.
Baron RornscniLD has been here for some little
time, and his presence is, of course, connected with
the intended loan.
On the 14th Prince IVINDiscuGnATz established
his he ad quarters at Fischarnent. Baron JELLACHICH
came to visit him from Hainbourg. It is thought he
will cross the Danube at that place, and operate on
Presburgh.

The Bohemian Gazette says, under the head 011-
tnutz, Dec. 13,—.
" A Cabinet Council has been held here under the
pr( sidency of Prince Schwartzenberg, to deliberate on the
one hand on the future relations of Dalmatia, and Scla-
vonia and Croatia; and on the other, on the state of the
Servians. The Ministers purpose coming to a definite
conclusion this afternoon on both these subjects, and the
Servian deputation from Kremsier is to receive a defi-
nite reply tomorrow. It is expected that the desires €,f
the Servians will be fully complied with, Ind on this
account the Sclavonian Deputies of the Constituent Diet
