physical force, or by reason Of a lukewarm
resistance on the part Of the military, Of whom
a large proportion are said 10 have been Ital-
ians, succeeded in driving them back, and
even in capturing some Of the cannon. Th6
Archdukes Adelbert, Charles and John, were
IN great personal danger, and one general Of
scsy sas dragged from his horse, on which.
, a ,xourded student was forthwith placed and

sSaa,nSile III rebellion had spread in every

made to ropei i by military force The soId'sts

great efforts to oppose the PSpuiar CONNIE

A strong party Of the lows classes had
during these events, marched out D, me Town
TO the Vile OF Prince Metternich, which they
completely demolished, and several other
country houses and town residences of The
Members of tine Cabinet suffered considera-
bly, by the violence Of The excited populace.
Prince Metterpich, it appears, retained his
hsbitual self-possessiop, and even ventHred
several times to his windows, ill repeated
showers Of stones drove him back.
At about nine O'Clock in the evening com.
parative tranquility was restored tho whole
garrison had left the town and taken up be
rouacs in the Prater and outside the ramparts;
i, was known that the three Archdukes who
had commanded the military evclGtons had
left Vienna for different parts OF the Austrian
dominions, and that a travelling carriage gpd
four was waiting at the back gaes Of Prince
Metternich's palace for the purpose of cen

in Bohemia or on the Rhine. An hour later
a great multitude asali assembled before tho
imperial residence. " hen suddenly a gentle
man, not known, came out from its gates and
declared, in the name Of the Emperor, in a
loud and distinct voice, that his Majesty had
cheerfully granted every demand his subjects
had made, 'JuH liberty Of the press, a more
extensive Representative Constitution, puJliei-

TROUBLE IN SAXoNY.
On tue 9Th the Duke of Sake CoburV, Go.
tha published a proclamation, in which he
} promises his subjects a constitution and abol-
ishes the censorship. This, however, has
not prevented the inhabitants of Gotha from
presenting him a petition pointing out the re-
forms they require. The depuiation was ve-
ry we'll received.
A letter from Leipsic Of the 9th relates,
that deputations OF SIX towns having present.
ed petitions to the king of Saxony, demand
ing the liberty of the press and other reforms,
the Bargoinaster of Werdau made a haran-
quo on the occasion. His Majesty referred
HIM to his proclamation, and declared that
he would submit to the next Diet such de-
mands as appeared to him just and opportuns.
The Burgomaster SCHNEIDER of Meerane then
said, Sire, permit me -" the King repli-
ed, "No! no! l cannot discuss with YOU
any iusensate demands; | have only to say
to you, adieu." The Burgsmaster said, Sire,
do not allow us to depart without some con-
: cesslon." The King replied, 81 have no.
: thing more to say to you-&adieu :" Tho
: Kings Ministers have published q notice an.
{ nouncing that they had given in their resig-
: nations, but that the King refused 10 accept
u them, resolving TO convoke an extraordinary
Diet for the goth, in order that it might be
known whether the whole country wished TO
have the Ministers dismissed. A law on IL
berty OF the press was 10 be presented to
70 that assembly.
N PRUSSIA.
w While the students of Vienna and the
~ Burgher Guard (Which must not be contour
dcd with a National Guard) were thus well
employed at Vienna, a similar activity was
- visible at Berlin. We have here a repetition
of what occurred at Vienna, the people as!
sembled, the troops fired, the concessions
he were demanded, first refused, and then gran
ted. King Frederick William has, however,
sunk considerably in the estimation of his
subjects. And what will become Of the Ger
man Parliament Pedremo Gao che red, emo,
was the wise remark of one of the most dis
o tinguished leaders of The Liberal movement
q in Italy.
The official Gazette of the 18th contains
a notification Of the concessions the Emperor
is compelled to make 10 the necessities of the
hour. His Majesty consents 10 arm Tie stu
dents, and expresses a hope that the citizens
I will cooperate with them in maintaining pub
u H. order; he trusts that a fresh proof of his
paternal solicitude will be recognized in his
measure, and that tranquility will be re-es-
tablished by it; il it is not, he will, though
with regret, be obliged to authorize tho
h troops to use their arms.
ITALY.

luton, and the subsequent proclamation of
{ the republic, was known at Rome, an i'm
mense crowd of people proceeded with ban
ners, and amid cheers Tor the constitution and
the French republic, TO the Quirnal, where a
depntation was chosen to present an address
to the Pope, urging that a constitution be pub
lished, in harmony with the institutions of
= the olher Italian States, and that all the eff.
f forts of the nation, be turned TO the mainte-
t nance Of interior order and exterior indepen-
dence. The address concludes by saving,
: sit will be the greatest glory of your ponti-

r preparing in Europe, Italy, avoiding The evils
That may result from them, is capable &C pre-
serving internal order, establishing her liber-
ty, and regaining her independence"
The Pope in reply, acknowledged The jus-
uce of the demand, and flaitered himself that
sin a few days, the work being completed,
we would be able to announce the new form
of government, which will obtain general sat-
l%stactlon, and more particularly that of the
Senate and Council, who are more infinitely
acquainted with the circumstances and posi-
