STATE OF AUSTRIA.

A letter from -Wenn-a, d atet-May —6, says :
" During the last 48 hours many repents relative to
the intentions of the Hungarian Diet have been in
circulation here, but private information which has
this morning been received from Pesth induces me
to suppress them, and to give in their stead a detailed
account of what has passed in the Hungarian capi-
tal since the opening of the Reichsrath. The Impe-
rial Speech was in the hands of the Hungarians on
Thursday last, but no mention has yet been made
of it in the Diet. The Lower Chamber held a sitting
on the 2d inst., but no more important business was
transacted than the' verification'of two elections. On
Friday, the 3d, the Lower Chamber again met, and
the President Ghyczy opened the sitting by reading
a petition which had been forwarded to the Diet by
the congregation of the Torontal country. The
petitioners stated that two companies of Border
troops (Croats) had suddenly entered Gross-Bees-
kerek (a town in the Torontal county), and threat-
nned to employ force 'if the taxes for 1860 and
those for the first half of 1861 were not paid within
six hours.' The congregation of the Torontal county
complained of the illegality of the proceeding, and
demanded the protection of the Diet. The _Donau-
Zeitung told us that the arrears of taxes had been
levied in Gross-Becskerek without difficulty, but it
is clear that very great pressure is now used in all
parts of Hungary. In the above-mentioned town the
commander of the Croats quartered from 5 to 12
of his men in the houses of the members of the
Municipality, and declared that they should remain
there until the taxes had been paid. The gendarmes
laid violent hands on the contents of the municipal
treasury, which were found to amount to the sum
of 17-1. Austrian kreutzers (about 4d. English). On
the same day (the Ist of May) 200 troops of the
line entered the village of Tissa-Voldvar, and took
possession of the Lutheran and Calvinist places of
worship, in order that the " tocsin" might not be
sounded. The men were then billeted on the vil-
lagers, who were informed that they would have to
provide their uninvited guests with food until
they had paid their taxes. In general the
peasants pay, but many of the inhabitants of
the larger towns allow their goods to be
taken and sold. The summary proceedings of the
Imperial authorities have greatly exasperated the
Hungarians, and it is to be expected that the Diet
will formally protest against the levy of taxes which
have not been granted by the representatives of the
nation. Since the delivery of the Imperial Speech
the Austrians have talked much of the necessity of
forcing' the Hungarians to listen to reason, but
the thing cannot well be done, as none but passive
resistance will be offered to the will of Government.
On Saturday, the 4th inst., the Lower Chamber of
the Diet sat with closed doors from 10 till
half past 1. Shortly before 2 o'clock the public
were admitted, but it was only to be told
that there would be no sitting on the 6th inst.
(to-day), which is Easter Monday with the Greeks.
On Tuesday, the 7th, the subjects of discussion will
be the present forcible levy of taxes, the Hungarian
budget, and the formation of special committees.
On Wednesday the debate on the Address will begin,
and very many persons in this city believe the Diet
will be dissolved before the discussion is breught to
a close. This opinion I do not share, because the
Reichsrath is likely to prove less complaisant than
the Government expects. The representatives of
the German provinces would fain induce their col-
leagues to join them in a public denunciation of the
policy of the Hungarians, but the Galician and
Czech deputies are Federalists, and will not fail to
make opposition to the present Government,
which is over much inclined to centralisation. In
the evening of Saturday it was generally stated
that Baron Vay had tendered his resignation, but
I positively know that he has not done so. It is,
however, unlikely that he will be able to re-
main at his post much longer, as the German
members of the Cabinet are resolved, if possible,
to obtain reinforcements for the Austrian " Reichs-
rath" by means of direct instead of indirect elec-
tions in Hungary, Transylvania, and Croatia. The
Hungarian people are not likely to elect a single
representative, but in Transylvania the Govern-
ment :can perhaps count on the "good offices"
of the Roumans and Saxons, who form about
two-thirds of the population of the province.
A person in office has to-day assured me
that the " Urwahler " (original electors) in
Croatia and Slavonia will consent to send repre-
sentatives to the Reichsrath ; but it is very pos-
sible that he is mistaken. When the Croatians and
Borderers took up arms against the Hungarians in
1849 certain promises were made to them by the late
Count Jellachich in the name and with the approval
of the Imperial Government ; but they were never
kept. The late Ban more than once spoke to me of
the " impolicy" of such bad faith ; but he cast all
the blame on the shoulders of Baron Bach, the ex-
Minister of the Interior, whom he both disliked and
despised. The Ban Sokcsevich is now here with
the deputation from the Croato-Slavonian Diet, and
doubtless, he has told the Emperor that the people
placed under his command are.extremely difficult
to manage. Three or four days ago the Austrian
telegraph informed the foreign world that 20 per-
sons had been elected in Venetia who would repre-
sent that province in the Reichsrath, but only
the first part of the statement is correct. Some of
the nobles and gentlemen elected by the inhabi-
tants of the rural communes in Venetia are tole-
rably well inclined .to Austria, but they have ex-
cused themselves, as no Italian can with safety to
himself sit in an Austrian House of Parliament.
When Count Bembo, the Podests. of Venice, was
here about six weeks ago, he continually received
threatening letters.

In the sitting held by the Chamber of Deputies
on Saturday, the Minister of State said he would
reply to Dr. Muhlfeld's question relative to Hun-
gary at some future time. He added, however, that
he was prepared to give the committee which is to
draw up the Address any information on the sub-
ject that might be required. The committee in
question is composed of nine persons, among whom
are Dr. Giskra, Baron Pillersdorf (the ex-Minister),
Dr. Rieger, Dr. Litwinowicz (a Ruthene bishop),
and Dr. Muhifeld. The house was very full on
Saturday, and six or seven Archdukes and Arch-
duchesses were present during the whole sitting.
In the seats in front of the President were the
Ministers Rechberg, Schmerling, Plenor, Mecsery,
Lasser, Pratobevera, and Commodore Wullerstorf,
_ ur LUC tinier or the tvavat De-
partment. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian
intends to demand 30,000,000 florins for the navy,
but he may be well content if the Diet grants one-
third of that sum. Several important changes are
likely to be made in the rules of order. One of the
' rules or regulations is, that no motion can be
brought before the house unless it is seconded by
20 members.

The rate of exchange on London has fallen to
144 25.

The Chief editor of the Espero, of Turin, was
condemned on the 7th, by the Correctional Tribunal of
that city, to two month's imprisonment and 300 f. fine, for
libel against the person of Dr. Bertani. A new sentence
is to be pronounced on the amount of damages due to that
gentleman.

Count William de Bernstorff, Minister of State
of Mecklenburg-Strelitz since 1848, died saddenly on the
3rd inst.

The vineyards in the neighbourhood of Blois
have suffered severely from frost, and the accounts of the
vines from Champagne and Lorraine are also unfavourable.
Ihe Memorial Boraelais states that the frosts have made
serious ravages among the vines in that neighbourhod. In
many places the wood of the vines looks as though it had
been burnt. Peas and potatoes have also suffered severely
SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE RIVER LEA, HACK-
NEY.—Yesterday morning as a police-constable of the N
division was on duty by the liter Lea, Hsckney, he dis-
covered a coat of a male person lying on the south bank,
near the High-hill Ferry-bridge. The drags were procured,
and after some time the body of a young man, apparently
about 22 years of age, was taken out cf the water. The de-
ceased was respectably attired, and in one of the coat pockets
waa a letter, addressed to a person residing at Brompton.
The document was taken charge of by the officer. Mr.
Rawlinson, the summoning officer, procured a shell and had
the deceased removed to the dead house at the Union, at
Homeiton, where one of the relatives identified the body
as as that of John Mills, aged 21. No money was found on
t re-
the ',.deceased, and the CaUSQ Of the rash act 0 prow'
maila a mystery.
