AUSTRIA.
The circumstances Of the Vienna outbreak
are remarkable. Your readers will remember
that some weeks back the proposed new Austrian
Constitution was published, and was received
with satisfaction, so much 50 indeed that the
funds rose considerably in consequence. On
the 18Th instant, however, It's terms led 10 the
new demonstration.
On discussing It's various provisions by the
people, and by The various political societies, II
came gradually 10 be regarded with dissa'siac'
ZION. The aristocratic form Of The upper cham
Der and the indirect form Of election for the
lower, was strongly condemnedi and while Ibis
uneasy feeling was at iIs height, and just alter
some demonstrations had been made in the sub
urbs by large body Of workmen and Others,
the Ministry resoued to injudicous steps OF IS
suing an order for the dissolution of The central
committee of the National Guard, consisting Of
about zoo individuals, and regarded as the most
influential club in the city, and at the same time
of Parading large military force which bivou-
acked at night upon the glacis.
The result was, that on the 18th of May the
populace, headed chiefly by the students Of The
colleges, rose to assert themselves, and at once
proceeded to the Minister with their demands.
These were that the military should be with
dawn, that the central committee ofIhe Nation
al Guard should not be dissolved, and that the
law for the elections should be declared null and
void.
The ministry, becoming alarmed, yielded to
all the demands of the people; and then on the
following day, gave notice that they fellit 10 be
their duty to resign,-and said further, that the
concessions had been made, because they had
not the means to resist, and from considera.
tions Of safety to the royal family.
After this document had made its appearance
it may be imagined that the upper classes in Vi
emma felt considerable uneasness, and that the
consciousness was fully impressed upon them
that the "students and popuace might demand
anything" They were destined, however, to
experience a shock still more severe. Sudden.
ly it was rumored that the Emperor had fed; a
fact which was at once confirmed by bulletin
from the Ministry, stating that his Majesty had
that hour taken his departure, il was believed for
lnspruck, with no other communication TO the
head of his cabinet than a verbal message TO
that effect. From this moment oil was confu-
sion, but it appears that the universal feeling was
solely one Of fright on tho part of the popula-
ton at having, as they conceived gone TOO far.
The Emperor, although a weak man is popu-
lar and his departure, it was feared, would be q
signal for anarchy, toward which the mass of the
German people are, we are convinced, wholly
indisposed, and hence deputations in hot haste
were at once sent after him, 10 soothe his fear;
and 10 entreat him to return.
| The last news is that his Majesty has reached
lnspruck, where he was received by his Tyrolear
subjects with "frantic loyalty" and as he is thus
between two and three hundred miles away from
his capital, it seems doubtful whether he will
speedily be induced TO return. Obstinacy on
this point however might ultimately prove dan.
gerous. At present the modification of the vi.
ennese is such that their state is described as one
Of "maudlin repentance" but this may be sue
ceeded by real impatience, since no persons arc
so dangerous as those who, with power in theil
hands, are led TO believe that they have hum.
bled themselves 10 no purpose.
SPAIN.
With regard to the fact Of our ambassador
Sir H. Buwer, having been ordered to quit Mad
rid in "a hours, no explanation has yet transpi
red. Lord Palmerston has stated in the House
Of Commons that all the correspondence rela.
ting to the subject is now in the hands of thu
printer, and will be laid before the members al
soon as possible.
Coupled with these perplexites relations
of England and Spain, news has reached us show
ing that despite the success Of the Spanish Gov
ernment, in having twice represented the insur
rectionary attempts in the capital, the spirit o
revolt is still active throughout the country to
sufficient extent to render their position critical
A military rising has taken place at Seville
which is believed to have become formidable, bu
of the real progress ofwhich little is known ow
ing to the silence of the Government organs
Seville is 2l2 miles distant from Madrd and il
Spain the means Of communication are sill bar
barously defective. The fact that no full &C
counts have been published is sufficient, howev
err, 10 denote that the movement has proved Sc
rious one. 1t broke outwhe the Duke and Ouch
ess of Montpensier were on visit in the city,
Seville contains about 100000 inhabitants, ant
is fortified and takes up more ground than Mad
rid. 1t is also one of the largest depots for ar
tillery in the kingdom.
INsURREcTIoN AT NAPLES.
The insurrection a. Naples appears to hav'
boen accompanied by circumstances of the mos
deplorable nature. Monday the 18th of May
was the day fixed for the opening of the Cham
bers. The elections had proceeded languidi,
and had resulted in the return mostly of moder
ate members. The constitution, however, o
the upper house being analogous that propose,
by Austria, mobs had for several weeks been il
the habit of raising the cry of Down with th
Chamber Of Peers Still it was not expeCte'
that any general outbreak would be attempted
A few days before the meeting of the Chambers
however, a strong French feet arrived in the bay
and this circumstance was regarded with de
gree Of uneasiness by those who desired tn
maintenance of order, which, judging from whI
