AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Vienna papers and letters of the 11th, state that the
successes of the Imperialist and Servian corps in the south
of the Hungarian Crownlands continue, and that the city
of Neusatz has been occupied by the troops of Baron Jel-
lachich, who carried it by a most sanguinary assault. The
Hungarians are asserted to have suffered another defeat
at Kaez ; indeed, the Austrian papers, which for a long
time have had General Percel's corps routed at least once
a week, are now positive that that unlucky corps- was
totally annihilated on the 7th inst. The Ban's head-
quarters are at Petrowatz.
Our correspondent informs us of several skirmishes
which have lately taken place on the island of Shiitt, of a
defeat which five companies of Imperialists suffered at
Szered, and of the occupation of Neutra by the Im-
perialist troops.
The Kolner Zeitung has news of a battle which was
fought, on the 13th instant, at Csorna, south of the
Danube, on the territory between two arms of the river
Raab, and in which an Austrian corps was surprised by
the Hungarians.
The. story brought by the Genoese Gazette of the
approach of 30,000 Hungarians to Trieste has received no
credence in Pariq.

Dr. Bowring assumed charge of his duties as Consul at
Canton on the 13th April.
The Piedmontese papers confirm the important intelli-
gence of the definitive arrangements for a treaty of peace
between Austria and Piedmont.

The insurrection in Baden is on the point of being ex-
tinguished. The Palatinate had been completely restored
to order.

GERA,'Aer AMAZONS.—The Baden insurrection has
produced several heroine?. who lead or follow some of the
free corps en ar?azone. The wife of Strilve (who has
himself absconded), a Fraukin Zitz, and a Madame Blan-
ker, are mentioned as prominent ; the latter in full uni-
form, with sabre buckled on, and rifle in hand, was the
other day in a drawing-room full of company at Edenko-
ben, and passing before a large mirror, stopped, perhaps
to survey herself for a moment, when, to the horror of all
present, the rifle went efr, luckily without damage to any-
thing but the mirror itself, which was shivered to atoms.
We literally live in dangerous times ; if ladies will arrange
their ringlets with loaded fire-arms in their hands, what
is to be expected.
DANISH BLOCKADE.—We have received private intel-
ligence, upon which we place much reliance, that the
negotiations for peace between Prussia and Denmark are
so far advanced as to render it almost certain that the
blockade will cease in a few days.—Hull Packet.
GIBRALTAR.—We learn from Gibraltar that there was
some probability of the quarantine being reimposed, and
that the next packet and all other vessels from England
would be put under quarantine. The Spanish govern-
ment had quarantined all vessels having had communica-
tion with Gibraltar that had arrived at Spanish ports.
PORTUGAL.—Another rninisteral crisis has taken place
upon the Duke de Saldanha's return from Cintra, which
ended in the formation of an entirely new Cabinet, by the
Count de Thomar, Costa Cabral. The following is a list
of new ministers :—President of the Council and Minister
of the Interior—The Count de Thomar. Foreign Affairs
—The Count de Tojal. Justice—M. Felix Hejeira Ma-
galhaes. Finance—M. Antonio Jose D'Arville. Marine
—The Viscount de Castelloes. War—Brigadier A. M. G.
Ferreri. The Duke de Terceira has declined to join the
Cabinet, but it was hoped he might accept the offer of
Adjutant to the King and Commander-in-Chief.
WEST INDIES.—The steamer Severn arrived at South-
ampton on Thursday afternoon, with £llO,OOO in specie,
and with mails from Vera Cruz to the 16th ult., Jamaica
to the 23d, Barbadoes to the 29th, and St. Thomas's to
the 2d inst. At Demerara the affairs of the colony re-
mained in nearly the same unsatisfactory state as reported
by the last mail, and no meeting of the combined court
had been held ; the supplies continued stopped, and the
public creditors unpaid. From the other colonies the
intelligence is unimportant. The Jamaica papers contain
accounts of victories of the Dominicans over General
Soulougne, in Hayti ; but it does not seem that any
dependance can be placed on these accounts.
A cargo of immigrants, consisting of 248 Africans, of
which 42 were women, 19 girla, and 51 boys, have been
imported into Grenada direct from Sierra Leone, at the
expense of the government. The passage lasted 23 days,
and so admirable had been the arrangements on the part
of the captain of the Clarendon, and the medical gentle-
man ha charge, that only two casualties occurred during
the voyage. None of the immigrants exceeded 30 years
of age. They were distributed amongst the planters, and
indentured for one year, with very easy and proper condi-
tions AS to food, clothing, and medical attendance, when
necessary. All above 14 years are to have a quarter acre
of land, and adults after three months to be paid 3d. per
week.

ARRIVAL OF TRAPPIST MONKS.—Among the passen-
gers who embarked from Liverpool in the steam-ship
Caledonia, for Boston, were the Abbott of Mount Melte-
ray, and three brothers of the Cistercian Order of Trap.
pists. They were accompanied by Brother Macarius, and
design to make the necessary arrangements for the found-
ing of two monasteries of their order somewhere in North
America. The abbott, after arranging matters here, will
return to Ireland, from whence, in August, forty or fifty
brothers, including four or five priests, will embark for
this country.—Boston Traveller.
