combined annie of Jellachich and Aue rsberg 1t Is
very probable that these armies have retired from

rate, if they have decided not to lombard it, they
may take the position to cut off the suppIess as to
reduce the inhabitants by starvation. Reports say
that the Diet have 100000 men in arms to defend
the Austrian capital; but vast number OF
these must be in favor of the Emperor, al
though every effort seems to be EMPLOYED
to exasperate and infame the population against
the court party. On the other hand, there cannot
be less than 100000 regular troops encirclng vi
emma at this moment, as relnforcements appeared
to be pouring In from all quarters. The Emperor
mas retired not to Innspruck but to OmutZ IN Mo-
ravla. He carries with him an effective force, and
from that point he will be able to rouse the count

carry on an lnternecine war against their German
fellow subjects.

In Italy, these events are prodsclng serious re-

tons; the closing of the passages &c in such
violent contrast with these that the Diet
must make decided protest against them; the Diet
did not call the Hungarians into the country neither
can 1t decree that they shall leave it, The Hungarian
Diet has gwen command to its army 20 follow your Ex

The Cov,ere Of Genoa, of the 18th, says the
news from Vienna has acted like thunderbolt
upon Radetzky and his army. The troops are
aware of their awkward position In not knowing
10 what power they now belong. The State paper
