AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MARCH 16.

The Wiener Zeitung gives the following account
of a political demonstration which was yesterday
made at Pesth :
"According to advices from Pesth about 200 students,
who had in vain attempted to force their way into several
churches in the course of the morning of the 15th of March,
went to the cemetery in the Franzensstadt. The crowd was
desired quietly to disperse ; but, as no attention was paid to
the official summons, the police, in order to prevent further
excesses, was obliged to arrest several persons.
"In consequence of this measure the crowd began
to move towards the Kerepesch Cemetery, and as the
employes of the police sought to prevent • its effecting its
purpose the officer of police and his men were derided
(verhohnt). This conduct rendered further arrests indis-
pensable, and the police were at last obliged to make use of
their arms, as an attack was made on them with the intent
to liberate the prisoners. Unfortunately, some persons were
wounded.

" The inhabitants of Pesth had nothing whatever to do
with the affair, and, as the peace of the city was in no other
way disturbed, the soldiers of the police were able com-
pletely and without other assistance to enforce the law. In
the evening the students tried to keep the public from enter-
ing the national theatre, and the interference of the authori-
ties and mounted police proving ineffectual, a 'division (two
companies) of regular troops was called out, which cleared
the place. The peace of the city was not again disturbed."
By private advices from the Hungarian capital
we learn that the crowd was composed of about 500
students, four of whom were wounded. It is here
supposed that the young men wished to celebrate the
anniversary of the day on which—in the year 1848
—the ex-Emperor Ferdinand I. expressed his resolve
to grant a constitution to his subjects.. A Hunga-
rian, who must be well acquainted with the opinions
and intentions of his fellow-countrymen, has to-day
expressed to me his apprehensions for the future of
the Austrian empire. Nothing but the restoration
of their constitution will satisfy the Hungarian
nation; and there is great reason to fear that many
influential Magyars now aim at a complete sepa-
ration of Hungary from the empire. "If the Hun-
garian Diet should meet to-morrow," said my
interlocutor, " its first measure would be publicly
to declare that the kingdom of Hungary was not
responsible for any part of the Austrian National
Debt, which was contracted without its cognizance
and approval." The separation of Hungary from
Austria would probably be fatal to both countries,
but the Imperial Government eannet be of this
opinion, as it rarely or never neglects an opportu-
nity of widening the breach between them. The
domiciliary visit recently paid to Count Stephen
Szecheny has given such extreme offence to the
Hungarians, that they now pass the Archduke
Albrecht, who was the author of the injudicious
measure, without taking the least notice of him.
