Arrival Of the wsshingtOn. +

/ rlcan steamer washington, Capt. tombstone, arr-
we'd last night from Southampton and Bremen,
having made the passage from the former city in
fourteen days. This arrival is not much later in
point of time than the Hibernia at Boston: but we
have further and later details of the revolutions in
Germany, of a most startling character
The Washington sailed from Southampton on
the morning of thes2lst ult, being compelled to
wait until that time, on account of the non-arriva
| of the French mails until the night of the 20th
! She brings los passengers, and a large freight
Among her passengers are Herr Gungl and his ce-
LIBERATED band Of instrumental performers, twenty
five in number
At p P. NJ. yesterday during heavy gale from ~
| W., passed schooner Justice, she having signal
of distress flying AT great risk, she was boarded,
| when It was found that the captain was sick and
unable to leave his berth, and that the vessel was
half filled with water, her pumps going continue
ally. No one on board being able to navigate her,
| the first mate o. p Noyes) Of the Washington,
brayely volunteered to take her into port.
The rumor which we have already exclusively
given, of fresh jnsurrection in Berlin apIsar to
! be confirmed in the following extract from the
London Standard of the evening of the 10Th nit
The arrival OF the mail from Hamburg has lust
been announced and the delivery of the letters and
| papers IS momentariiy expected This racket will
bring Tuesdays dates, October II, from Hamburg,
and no doubt later accounts from Vienna than have
Been received by the post through Belgium Some
untavorable rumors have been in circulation for
| an hour past which have had slight effect upon
| attention without further explanation. One of
| them, however, is that there have been disturban-
ces at Berlin; and we understand that they have
reached the city through the medium Of some of the
| passengers by the steamer short time will
however, furnish the real facts of the case Ii is
almost unnecessary to say that attention continues
| TO be concentrated on the affairs of Germany, and
| the prevailing uncertainty has more paralyzing
influence upon business than any result that may
happen short of general war on the CONTINENT
/ We also annex the following important letters
1--WE copy but one of them today received from
our correspondents in London and Bremen. All
Germany, north and south, is in the agony of
terrible and bloody revolution, and Europe on the
verge OF general war, and awful convulsion Of
every element Of society
LONDON, Oct 20, 1848.-The Austrian Reuolu-
ton and preparations for terrible soar on the Con-
ttnent-The battle of democracy if it has not al
ready been fought at Vienna, will soon be decided
Should liberty triumph, the fate of Ferdinand is
sealed. Like his brothers in misfortune he may
he to England, to seek an asylum in a royal palace
to reflect at leisure the result Of mis- perverse-
ness and treachery to his people. Preparations for
dreadful conflict are going on around the capital
The royal forces face a determined populace who
will be aided by an approaching Hungarian army,
which will, this have closed on the rear Of the
savage Croats. Speculation, on any thing like GER
tain grounds, is at present impossible as TO the pro-
bable result, the correspondence of the English
journals is not to be depended on, for giving an inn
partial account Of the real position and strength of
she contending forces. The principal danger to be
apprehended to the popular is, FIRST the deci-
sion OF the German Vicar Of the Empire, at Frank
fort to levy contributions of troops from the various
contederated States, to march on Vienna to crush
the efforts of ifs citizens.
Prussia has already been summoned to have its
levy ready for instant march, and it remains TO be
seen how far the liberals of that country will APP
prove of this proceeding by allowing their depart
| ure on so despotlc mission. The whole available
military force stationed in the distant provinces of
the Austrian Empire are marching on the capital,
and their place. it is reported is to be taken by Rus
sian troops, which are now crossing their frontier
at the desire of the Emperor, who seems imbued
with savage spirit TO wreak the most determined
vengeance on the people. Before be can effect this
however, immense difficulties must be overcome
Atpresent, the Diet of the capital is in his inter-
est and any law passed by it for the evvng Of taxes
will not enrich the military chest of Jelachlch, but
of his opponents. Under these circumstances, the
invading forces have no other alternative but sub
slstence on forced contributions, which are at all
times precarious, even amid neutral population
Add to this the vote carried in the Hungarian Diet
by the most enthusiastic reclamation, that their
country should fight and, if needs be- fall for the
independence of city that gave them so strong
proof Of sympathy in their hour of peril.
More fatal still to the last desperate efforts of the
Emperor is the news from Italy, which announces
that when the tidings of revolt at Vienna reached
Milan, the army of Radetzky broke out into open
rebellion, and that murderous conflict was raging
With all these conflicting elements, the proba-
bllty OF success appears TO be the side of those
whom the royalist Journals call the insurgents. 1t
was not necessary to be endowed with any other
power of prophecy than such as common sense af-
forded, to foresee the present events. The wicked
treachery of the Emperor and his advisers which
became obvious as circumstances favored his views
has brought upon itself proper retribution, which
il is to be hoped will be further realized by his de-
thronement and exile--a fate he richly merits
From the correspondence which has been seized
belonging to the late Count Letour some curious,
as well as treacherous documents have been laid
before the world BY some OF them il appears that
one Of the most determined enemies the people Of
Vienna had to contend with, was the Princess
Sophia. Lord Palmerston is mentioned as being
in union with the Russian Emperor as to the neces-
sty Of vigorous interference to put stop to what
is termed the anarchy of a savage faction; but to
this certain remarks are added by no means hater-
ing TO his lordship's character Should this inter-
ference be carried into practice, especially by a
Russian invasion, there is not the shadow Of a
doubt that the Germans will rise, BaSse, to repel
them, and should the issue appear doubtful, no
power will be able to restrain the French from
rolling their armies over the Rhine. It should be
borne in mind, that as regards the German struggle,
there isnot room for that dependency which occa-
sionallY floats over the mind, in specializing the
destiny of France.
The French, in their revolutions, are soon up and
, soon down; but the German square heads, when
once raised there is no putting them down. They
will fight to the last, and then will never give in,
bat die on the spot. This was seen the other day
at Vienna, where the students marched coolly across
a square in the face Of showers Of gTape-shot and
took the artillery that protected the war Office with
the bayonet. The French are equally brave, but
they do not show the same temerty and determine
ton of purpose-foI if foiled at one point they fly
| to another whereas, the Germans take stand and
keep TO it. to conqueror die The Times calls loudly
the Continental powers to join issue in an Aus
