REVOLUTION IN AUSTRIA . OVERTHROW ANO FLIGHT OF MBITKRSICH . Vienna , March 9 . I have just learned a fact of the _highest importance , which has _produced here an immense sensation . On the proposition of Prince Metternich the Supreme Council of State has prononncFd the dissolution of the Hungarian Parliament . The Hungarian Chancery was convoked to day to devise means < f executing that measure , which may be attended _w-tb the most fatal consequences . The Chamber of Deputies , _assembled at _Presburf , has voted an address to the Emperor , in which the whole system of policy of Prince Metternich is openly _condemned .
The Chamber of Deputies of Hungary recommends His Majesty ' to surround h ' s throne with constitutional institutions In accird with the Mess of tbe a _; e , ' a * ad dem-mds those _institutions for thc who _^ empire . The Chamber rd Mngnats has . fully concurred in the address . Instead of acceding to the _desire of Hungary , to the exigencies of the times , and tii ? population of the empire , Prince Metternich has _resu ' _ved to play his last , stake , and decreed tbe di _nlution nf ihe parliament . Ev _« ry day couriers are despatched to St _Petersburg . The _Brmr-e is in a state f-f the utmost _r-on ? ternation , and the Exchequer will toon be drained , notwithstanding the _Russian lean , - which ranst soon be exhausted . Even tbe population of Viinna , formerly _socrlm and impassible , is in the _greatest- ' _^ itation , and loudly calls out _fi-r reform . We are here on the eve of a catastrophe
rxSUIWECTIOS IS VIENNA . Oa the I 3 ; h , tbe day of ihe _opening ofthe legislature at Vienna , a large numbs ? of students , headed by their professors , proceeded to the chamber , in order to present r . pe'itinn in _fnvr-tjr of various reforms . Immense crowds soon colle 3 ted : the military were called out ; their muskets were loaded in presence of the peop ' e , snd _extraordinary measures wf _striken to hvv nt _disturbances . Soon aftr-r the opening of the Diet , Prince _MontectMli nnd sever ? . ! of the deputies , accompanied by nn _imrnense < T _>"> wd , proceeded to tbe palace _-with the _a- 'dr _^ ss . The crush of spectators at the _opening of tbe Diet v . _-a = enormous . A great number r . f well dress , d people _throneed the ball , escla raing that the petition of th _> -estates did not go hv enau _^ h . The _ne _^ _sin try were crowding the str e ' s , _anxious f > learn ' whpther the _constitution was _rn- "dy . "
shops wer ? Closfd . thepalace of the _ita-es was entered r . nd ransacked , and the srse r . _f . h were , literally _besieged bv the people- In the _nkk of time , however the "LrflD * _-rnr expressed his readiness to _anke oopa ' lar conce s ons , not . lo'ever , before numerous pp : son _? _wcreki'ied ami _* 0 * n < W . The intelligence that _Me- _'ermYa Ii * id resiened ; that the _t- _* o nnpepulsr * archdukes , Lewi ? ani Albeit , had been d : _* - _iraced—in _o'her _words , _d-u . riveil of their _functians ; lhat the Coun s Ko _^ owrath a- ; d Monteenoli h :. d been entrnsted with tbe _formation of a new ministr . ; ? hat libertv ofthe press had been conceded , and thnt _anati'inalcu _^ rd bad been ordered to be _orsamsedsnr ° ? d like wildfire _amonest ihe population , ( no _longer tbe populace , ) and called forth the most _extraveant ( _iemnrisrrations of joy . On the _ni-jht of the 13-b and Uth Vienna was brilliantly illuminated .
The Emperor has given _permit-shm tn the students to take arras , with the view of _preserving public tranquillity , and has , moreover , appointed a committee , composed of the members of the states and of the _cla ' 8 of citizens , for the _purpose of deliberating en the measures _necessary to be _inhen under existing circums'ances Prince Metternich ha ? taken to _hiheels . Itis said that his residence on the Rem weg has been demolished . According to same _accounts during the insurrection _nineteen persons were killed and fourteen wounded . _According to others , the number slain on the 13 th ¦ _trnnnnfed to _nearly 300 persons .
On the 14 th r _. 11 the troops ( says the _Zeiiukchabe , of _Berlin . ) _received orders to quic the city . Thc 'disgraced' Duke Albeit wa * commander-in-chief ofthe army . TVn students were killed by the military . On the Uth perfect order _prevailed in Vienna . _Private iettera rereived in Pflri . _-i on the afternoon of Sunday , supplied _fu rth 2 r particulars cf the _revoluthinr . ry movement at Vienna : — The artists ofthe School ot Bains Arts _onjrht l kef heroes . _Mvtterrrch has fl-a from Ticur . a , i _.-= aed-with nn-versa ! esicration , _Amoagst . _thosn _flrircn ft-cm the Capital , are the Bn ; press-Moth ( rand the Princess Mtt _teicich , who _^ _l-owed _thennelvr-s much _oppost-d to the _rtvfiiotien of _Fr-nce . _Thej-were in the constant habit of _zS-ring up public prayers for the _preservation of _Ausiria from the revolutionary poison .

The _Emperor , liept in » ur _> Jic : ion hy Lis miinstnr _, and long in a kind of cbiWhood , wept as a c ! ild who received the _impression of Bome _extraordinary event tvi ? n 6 Ut _liiicr ; a _* nle to nnuerstand it . After Metternich , th * _Arclidul-. e Louis itihe whom the penplc roost _exvcTatp . He had been tbe ri _^ ht orm of his brother Francis I ., ? nd upheld the policy of iletttrnieh to the least point . He is _hidden , _S _a'icg the popular _venirea-ce . Ev _.-ry one _"itosx ' it Tn nn _^ that to the _Archduke Louis , i _? _et-Urnich , _Fiquilmoat , and _Priaca Munich de I ' _el'ir-. _chau'sn , are to bi attributed the _massacrt-s of _Tarnovr , and since , tiosc of Milan .
AXOTHER ACC 0 CST . Private letters received in London frem Vienna , i _/ _i'd _Oslend , this _m-rning , dated on the evening oi thc l ± - . h . leave no doubt of the truth nf this intelligence . They _state that ths Archduke Albert , the Commander of _tr-e city , ordered th - troops to lire on a _prncv'ssiun of students , who were about to present a petition , on the 13 ; u instant , demanding the same reforms as those conceded in other parts of Germany . Many were killed and wnunded , and amongst them map . y were spectators . The people , irritated at this massacre , then rose and compelled Prince Met * ernich and the Archduke Albert to resign . The tronf _.-s _wera a _' so forced to evacuate the Arsenal , which was _garrisoned by the Burgher Guard . In short , atthe hour that ihe post lei- ; , Vienna was in tha hands of thc _cUize-is , ou whom the task of maintaining order had devolved .

FCBTHER _DETAILS . The intelligence received this morning from Vienna , says ( the Paris correspondent oftho _Timbs , " is of the mo = t _eerbus nature . The accounts are bat meagre as to details , but the result proves that a complete revolution has bc _^ n effected in the Au strian capital . A conflict ; on tho 13 : h between the people , led by tbe students and citizens , and fhe military hss compelled Prince Metternich to fly . There has teen bloodshed on both sides , but the number of killed and wounded is not stated . The Director of Police , 51 . Seldnizky , has been expelled . Tbe house of Prince MettWEieh was sacked by the mob , and the Grand Dakes have withdrawn _inti private life . The military have left the ci ' y , whioh is under the protection of the Civic _Gtisrd and tbe students . The official Gazette of the Uth contains a notification of the concessions the Emperor is compelled to make to the necessities of the hour . Hi ? Majesty consents to arm tbe studenfs , and expresses a hope that- the citizens will co-operate with them in

rraihtaining public order ; he trusts that a fash proof of his paternal solici _' . udft will be recognised in tbis measure , and that tranquillity will be re-established by it ; if it is not , he will , though frith regret , be obliged to authorise the troopa to use their arms . There is a discrepancy between the official account and the intelligence of the _Zbitungshalltj . If the city i 8 already in possession of the citizens , the orders to the military como too late . Subjoined are all the details received in Pari 3 of the movement in Vienna and Berlin . The _Zeitungsiullb ofthe I 7 ch _inat . contains the following , dated Vienna , the 13 th : —
Oar capital is in open revolt . AU tbe inhabitants have _risenin amiss , and the students have joined thoUrhan Guard . The crowd marcbe _* on the villa of Prince Met' etnich . situate on thc Rennweg , and destroyed it . They _thfucerepaircd to the hotel ofthe _Stata Chancery , precrede'i by the students . Tbe most exaggerated _demand * were here made by tbe people , and a stranger , _having presented himself on the balcony , _declared _t' _-ot 'be imptror would immediately satiety thoir _wishas ; that hit Majesty had every _confidence in tho loyalty ot the inhabitants of Tianna ; that tbe Imperial government had been lone engaged in preparing laws for the _bt-tter administration of the countiy ; and that the peupl ? would be agreeably pleased with the tim ly aud paternal _intcntioDS of the _Emperor . In the mean _tlma the troops had deployed , and platoon fires were heard In
different directions . Some even say that the streoti w _? re _swfpt with _grapeshot . At the hour of post _tranqnllllty was not jet restored . It was said that many persons had betn killed and _n-onnded . The _cmettte was dreadful . Cries ia favour ofa constitution ond freedom nf the press was uttered . Tbo crowd was particularly compact in the afternoon . TheAulie Council of War had adopted all the necessary measures . The gates had been shut , in order to _sepnrate the city from the suburbs , and t ' _- >« Bourse r « maioed closed . I bave heard that tbe deputies ot Presburg wero the pr- _moters of the movement . The students hurangued tbe workmen , and prevailed npon them to join in it . At half-past four o ' clock p . m .,
t * ie troups upon the _Judenplatsfired , when six men w « re killed . The revolt had then reached its hei ght . The commander ofa detachment of soldiers was compelled by tbe people to dismount and give his horse to a student who was wounded in tbe head . The military were everywhere hissed and hooted , A troop of artillery im obliged to unscrew their bayonets on the intimation ofthe crowd . Al ! the shops were closed . Itwas apprehended that the people nf the suburbs would invade the city daring the night . The presence of tbe Urban militia excited everywhere tbe greatest _enthublasm . The watchword is , * The _Cisnstutution and Freedom cf the Press . ' Petitions to that tff . -ct have been already signed by 20 , 000 persons .
The rails have bsen taken up on _different points , and the communications interrupted , March H 8 p . m . The people attacked the hotel of tho police . Near the Prater the troops fired five volleys . At ten _o'c ' _ook the students were armed . Metternich aad Sedln _' zM have retired . The people are marching ogsinst tho Custom-house . A new era is open for Austria . At tha meeting ofthe assembly of the States the students and _ttie _burgesn'S presented petitions for reform , Thosa petitions were received , but _the reply to their demand was a " jonrned . Thia displeased the people . Crowds were formed . The troops marched from their b '« _rracks ; shots were fired , and popular exasperation was raised to the highest pitch . Priuce Metternich quitted Vienna ,
and the _stu-ients and burgesses having b . _'en armed , order was restored . Tt is not doubted but that the demands of the people will be tafcen into consideration , . ind that the Austrians will enjoy the same _prieil- 'ges ss th ? Germans . At half-past one o'clock it was announced that the Emperor had deelortd the formation of a _Na _' ional Guard , to be commanded by Count Mayere , All the Princes of the Royal Family wbo have rendered themselves unpopular have retired into _prirate life . Universal joy prevailed , aud tbe city waa illuminated . The pirroli ef the _CitIc Guard were everywherereceivad with loud cheers by the people . The most , valuable e ' oth wa 9 presented to the students and burgesses to _convert into scarfs , and Sonera and tern-els were thrown down from the windows . There were ten of the _students hilled . The _Stock-Excbance was closed .
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF ME VIENNA _INSuRRFCTIOV . The students had presented a petition to the Diet for unlimited freedom of the press , nnd Count Montecuoli , the Marshal of the Diet , assured trie multitcde * that the States would not be _wnntinpin their duty , but would use every endeavour to procure _frr-m the Emperor fhe rfq'iired _concessions . This assurance appeared to satisfy fhe people , when suddenly a largo military force was seen advancing . It _consisted of cavalry and infantry , tbe rear being _brousht-up by _astron-. ' detachment of artillery with several field pieces , and was under the personal command of the Archduke Adelbert . Ilia Imperial Highness addressed a few words to the assemblage , exhorting them to _disperse peaceably ; but his _admonitioa produced no effect . The order w . _is then
given to fire and _charge ; and the result is stared to have been that some twenty persons were killed and about ten times that number wounded . _Jisjuii t . >>« farmor . ir _« _rp _fif _»«~» _. » _.-A-T .. _* . _% _•• -. ; j - _^ _- . _A- _^' . \ _. ¦ - ¦ . ' . _^^ _z _^ r _:.:--fluentiat _chiz-jn stepped forward , and . 'dipping- his white handkerchief into the blood that had been shed , fastened it to hia walking stick , and exclaimed — ' Be this tbo emblem of our future liberty ! ' A coup de theatre and a sentiment both eminently ' rrencli had m _effect that would not have been Inoked for upon the usually sober-minded _Germans . The rash , now swelled to the number of 20 . 000 men , rushed upon the troops , and whether by mere physical force , or by reason of a lukewarm resistance on tbe part of the military , of whom a large proportion are ? aid to bave been Italians , succeeded in
driving them back , and even in capturing some ef the cannon . The Archdukes Adelbert , _Charle * , and John were in great personal danger , and one general officer was dragged from his horse , on which a wounded student was forthwith placed , and paraded through the streets in great triumph . Meanwhile the rebellion had spread in every part of the town , and where attempts were made to repel it by military force the _soldk-rs were soon driven back , or did not make great efforts to oppose the popular commotion . A strong party of the lower classes had , during these events , nwehed out of the town to tho villa of Prince Metternich , which they -completely demolished , and several other country houses and town reiidences of tho members of the Cabinet suffered considerably by the violence of the excited populace . " At about niue o ' elock in the evening comparative tranquillity was restored ; tbe whole garrison harl
left the town and taken up bivouacs in the Prater and outside the ramparts ; it was known that the thrfe Archdukes who had commanded the military evolutions bad left Vienna for different parts of the Austrian dominions , and tbat a travelling carriage and four was waiting at the back gato of Prince Metternich ' s palace for the purpose of conveying the ex-Minister to his estates either in Boherma or on the Rhine . An hour later a great multitude again _f _^ ocmb ' ed before the imperial residence , when suddenly a gentleman , not known , came out from its gates , and declared , in the name of the Emperor , in a loud and distinct voicft , that hia Majesty had cheerfully granted all the demands his subjects had made— * full liberty of the press , a more extensive representative constitution , publicity of all proceedings in the courts of law , trial by jury , and , finally , the dismissal of tke whole Metternich Cabinet . '
Accounts to thc _eveninsrof the 15 ih announce that the Emperor had _published a decree _abolishing the censorship of the press , and establishing a National Guard .
HEROISM OF WE PBCPLU . It appears tbat the ramparts and gates were bristled with loaded cannon—tho people rushed ( unarmed ) en masse to their months , and shouted , ' Who dares to fire upon us , your unarmed brethren ?' On the 15 th , the people erected n _pallowa in the front of Metternich's palace , and inflicted capital punishment on the _effigy of its most unpopular proprietor . Thia _exhibitif . n continued _during the entire _dsy , nor did tho authorities dare to check it . A royal decree was published on the ICth , announcing the nb'lition ofthe censorship ,- —tiie establishment of . _i National Guard , —and the convocation of the States _Deputies .
_ViEJirfA , March 15 . — ' We learn that bands of rob bers and discharged workmen are committing depredations in all quarters ; scarcely any attention ia paid to thc Sovereign ' s concessions , and all who have property quake . Count Musch-Bellinghausen is . f r a time , entrusted with the Foreign Department . Another account from Vienna speaks of the restoration of quiet and order in the Austrian capital .
Prussia. Successful Insurrection In Berl...
PRUSSIA . _SUCCESSFUL INSURRECTION IN BERLIN . By a decree of March 14 th , tbe King of Prussia had convoked the Prussian Diet for the 27 th of April . Berlin , March 13 . Today a serious riot took place , iu which , we are sorry to say , blood Im been shed . The refusal of the City Council to present a petition agreed upon by upwards of 2 , 000 young men , and *; he fact that the Lord Chamberlain had , in the King ' s name , declined to receive a deputation from the Council _its- _'lf soon became known through tho city . Above 20 , 000 persons in aBhorttime collected in the Park , and called for their favourite speakers to address them . The _multitude remained assembled , hurraing and _singins till
a late hour . Towards evening the Linden Stras 3 e ( the most fashionable street in Berlin ) wa > crowded to excess ; but from want of arms among tho people , and their quiet and peaceable conduct , nobody anticipated any serious disturbances . No lamps were broken , and no _confectionera' shops plundered—the usual demonstrations hereunder such circumstances —and every hope was'entertained that things would pass off quietly . Abont dusk a strong military force was drawn up in _frwifcof the Palace , and numerous patrols of Lancers and Foot Guardsmarched through the Linden Straese and tie adjoining streets . The troops were continually reinforced ; a detachment of the _Rifl's wm posted in the arsenal ; and several regiments formed throughout the whole length of the Linden Slime , Either from curiosity or worse

motives , an immense multitude had collected in front of the __ Palace . Several offioera exhorted the people to disperse , and when this admonition had not the desired effect , the Lancers charged . One individual was killed ; the number of wounded was not ascertained , but the number must have been considerable . A student came to the Newspaper-hall with a serious wound'in the back of his head , and declared that while passing quietly to Frederich Straese , a Lancer rode up to him and inflicted the wound . A child had its abdomen laid open by a coup do sabre . Ih the Grunen Strasae tbe bridge wag drawn up , and by means of a large quantity of old timber a barricade was formed behind _it-in the Jagcr Strasae . Au attempt was made to plunder several gunsmiths ' shops , but only nine or ten braoe of pistols were procured . Towards midnight tranquillity was restored .
' _ANOTnKB ACCOUNT . At the hour I am writing ( ten o ' clock in tbe evening ) strong detachments of troops occupy the comers of every street and the different bridges The delogates of the city having refused to a- _* opt the petition which had been drawn up and signed for presentation to the king , an assembly was announced for the evening to take the matter into consideration . At an earl y hour a lf . rge multitude assembled , and it was suddenly reported that some arrests had been made , and that the government purposed preventing any public demonstration by armed force . At this moment a { _rensdarmo made his appearance and was received with nootinps , and compelled te retive towards the guard-house , near the Brandenburggate . The crowd followed him , and surrounded the guard-house . The officer on _dutysentfor a reinforcemeut , and some detachments of cavalry and infantry came , driving back the people . The cavalry at the same time cleared the square near the castle .
Tho riot began to assume a more serious aspect , and the cavalry made repeated charges in which some blood waa shed . From what I witnessed I cannot approve ofthe conduct of the troops , as they unnecessarily made use of their arms i n dispersing tho people . The disturbance was most _serions in the vicinity of the Palace and near the Peter _' s-pJaee , from which the peopio wera driven towards tbe Grcin-street , where a barricade was thrown up . On other points the _pavem-nt was taken up and _stsnes thrown at the solJiers . Many arrests have taken place . All the publio offices , such as the Arsenal , the Bank the _Saeliandlung , < fci » ., weie occupied by strong detachments of trooos . Gun * ready for action were kept harnessed all day in the barracks , _ _. March 14 .
To-day proclamations were extensively circulated exhorting the __ population to peaceable conduct , and at the same time , desiring all dealera in arras to deposit their guns , swords , & c , in the Roval Arsenal . A gentleman named Held was , _touether with his wile , dangerously wounded in tbe head and face while returning from a party to their hou » e in the Friederich Strasse ; and the son of Rucker , the celebrated poet , is mortally wounded and not expected to live thron-h the day . ° _Aix-Ia-Chapelle , Friday evening , ten o ' clock . This moment , just as tho mail is starting , an express has arrived from Berlin , _bringing the melancholy acounts that the scenes cf the 13 th had been repeated , with much greater violence , during the whole night ofthe 14 th , and on the 15 th the whole garrison was put into motion , and , from all the circumstances , it may be concluded that much blood has been shed .
A subsequent communication by thc Electric _Telegraph furnishes us with an extract from a private letter from Hamburgh ; in these terms : — A severe conflict has taken place between the troops and the poople at Berlin , and many of the latter have be _* n killed or _wOiinded . _Beriiny March I 6 _'h , 3 , p . m . The King is waverin 2 . Ilo bas already conceded the institution of a Burgher Guard , which waa included in the _constitutional reformsdemanded by the people . The Ministry have refused to act unless on tbe solicitation of the Burghers . The aimed police manifest every disposition to conciliate the neople . The petitii n for tho abolition of the censorship of the press is granted by the King .
A deputation of two hundred students has waited on the Prince of _Prussia to demand the withdrawal of the troops , and to inform hira that in case of refusal they would instantl y arm , and resist them in the event of their attacking the people . A collision has taken place _between the military and the civilians . Some barricades have been erected , and tiie bridges have been drawn up _. The soldiers have charecd several times , and many havo been _wounded , and sime killed . Tho Berlin burghers are now fully aroused , and it will bo very extraordinary if rooie _deci-iive _rcsilta are nut oh . tained this evening .
The Coloonz Gazette _quotC 3 the following letter of tbe 15 di from Wittgenstein : — * On the 9 t , b , numerous bodies of the people paraded the streets of tho town of Lansphe , hissing ' arid shouting . _^ o the . . _^ . rntv ~ r > ' -.

On the _nexs day b _.-aida of _peasantry entered the ( own , pursuing the chief director of the _forests , but whom they could aot catch . They afterwards went to the Castle of Wittgenstein , and forced the Prince to grant them extensive forest _rights . The same excesses have been committed a' Buteburg 5 cmo soldiers were marched in on thc loth .
The _Phcssian State Gazette of the 19 th and 20 th gives _»' . > _detilU nf the _eo-.. fliots between the troops and the people of _Berlir on the evening of the 18 tb , nor of the Issue of the _struKirle ; but it announces the impor tantfact that a newAI ' ni « try wasformed on the Iff . h , and it also contains a whining appeal from the King to ths inhabitants of _Birlia , from whicii we gather that tho troops still occupied all the public buildings and strong points of the ei : y , but that the insurgents held their barricades . Oth « parts of Prussia are likewise disturbed . Prom Koenigsberg we bave accounts to tho 14 th insront _, by which we learn that tho tranquillity of tbat city had bean _disturbed . The _president ofthe polios was _ttbout to
arrest MM . Riepu _, Jacohi , and Dinter , for h aving composed tbe address to the _JcJng . Tho measure ? was _nft taken , but the people wore very _dissatisfied .

Ono hundred students immediately went into the streets before the placo of meeting , and cried ' Live tho _Resource . ' They then went to-the polico and broke the windows with _paving stones . Tluy obliged , a p _' _qunt of the military to retire ; _afqu'jdronofcnirasaiera then came up , and dispersed them with tbeir swords . The generate was beaten .

THE _BERLIN IHSURBECTION . It was at nino o clock on thu morning ofthe 18 th that this patent convoking the Diet was made public . At 10 o ' _vlerli be _received tho _membt-ra of the common _ceuacil of Cologne , at the bead of which was _Herr Von Wittgenstein who exp _lained the _oituation ond the wishes of the town and province in simple _worSs . The King _an-EH'ir . d miuutely , and in a friendly manner , [ and referred at thc end of his discourse to the patent . At a later period the Kinf * received a deputation from the _tonn council of B ' . Tlin , A large crov ?< 3 assembled between one nnd two in the afternoon in front of thu palace , on the side of tha Breiten and _BraderatraESo , and they b . > pan to cry out for the withdrawal ofthe troops from thepalace , expressing their joy at the concession of the King by
shouts , vivas , and hurrahs . Tho Kins ; camo out on the balcony , and wns greeted by an _imnenss ohoutof joy , The crowd _wes immense , and it prcssud on in front of thn palace to _welcumo the Kinff . _Seeing them approach somewhat _clostir than was thought advisable , a staff officer of cavalry rode forward to make thera retire ; and as it oeemod evident that he was about to be _vislently treated , a detachment of cavalry immediately advanced to support bim . At thia moment two shots were fired , though from what quarter thoy camo it Wis impossible to say . Tbo _tnoveuvjut on the part of tho peopio then became general , and tho attack on tho troopa became general in moat of tho streets . By degrees , aa the _fighunft continued , arms _were obtiin _^ d by tiie population , and noon the combat was engaged with arms on both sides . The peopio defended thomsolvda behind barricades mid
continued tho attack from tho roofs cf tho _Iiousbb , Tne chief sc ; nes of tho combat wero tho Friodrick and _Konigsstadt , and tbe space intervening between . Most blond was spilt in _Priedrichsstrafse , _leipzigeratrasse _, and Kb ' _nigsstrasse . It was in them that most barricades wero erected , aud the most active exertions were made from the houses on both M : ' _es . The infantry thundorc : in vain againat several of the barricade * , and It was found necessary to employ cannon , loaded with gtapo , During half the night tho city waa illuminated . Many superior officers wero kill d , _bocauso thoy afforded , by their dross , a better mark for those who fired from their houses . Tho subordination whicii characterises the Prussian troops more than any In Europe , kept them , at first , well together , and , but later , sonv : corps refuse ! to fire , when thoy were notattaeked by the citisens . During the whole night tho alarm bells wero rung .
The military force at _Berlin is estimated at 20 , _^ 00 mon , _brought _together from tho neighbouring garrisons . It was against this masB of military that the multitude , at first unarmed ; began to fight . The students , who had taken arras , wero moot active in _loading forward tho bands of people which successively _opposed the troops . The prison was forced _opan _, and _tloe prisoners set free . On the 19 th , tha city had quito a warlike aspect . Tbe pavementin all tbo streets had boen torn up ; vast heaps of stones of all _siz . e , which tho people throw from the windows and roofs on the soldiers , Impeded tho way , and rendered walking impossible . Here and thero were immense barricades of stones aud esrth piled up to a great height , especially in the _Prederlchs and _Kontgstadt . On thomorning ofthe 19 th a proclamation from the King _. ap . peared , addressed to his ' beloved _Bi-rlinoae , ' and which wo give below , in which tho shots on the _Schlossplatze were ascribed to a _mistako . Thc King would forgot and forgive all , and expressed a wish that

the citizens should , on their part , do the same . At eleven the troops were all withdrawn from tho streets , to the preat joy of th 9 people . No more firing occurred with tho exception of that whieh took placo in sign of joy , and the people _m-jved in great _nmsos _through the streets , collecting in vast numbers on tho _Sohlosjplatze , Here the King showed himself again at tho balcony oi tbe palace , from which hu addressed the people , exhorting them to peace and _quietness , expressed his willing _, nvis to set all prisoners free , and was reeolved to grant an amnesty to the city _gunrdB for the part thoy had taken in the affair .
The loss on both sines was immense , and tbe streets of _theFriedrichsstadt were covered in the forenoon with numbers of dead and wounded ; such also was the case In the K ' _dnigsstadt _, where , _duricg the previous evening about _slevoa o ' clock the combat raged most At ahout two o ' clock in the afternoon ( says a correspondent of tho Cologne _Gazetta _) , I saw a number of _cIi ' _miis with bared heads , leading a large _wagg-m in wbich were laid the bodies of most ot those who had fallen In the Friedrichsstadt . _This procession , singing the ohorus of « Jesus mein _Zuvcraicht , " arrived at tbe palace where it was received iu deep silence , whieh was only broken by calls for the King again to appear . H « did not do so then , however , but shortly afterwards ho came out on the balcony above the entrance of tho palace , and said th > _it he entrusted the peace and guard of his palace to hia faithful people . The dead bodies were then borne through the inner court of the palaoe and the _Luslgarten or plea _, sure garden , to a neighbouring church
The _armamtntof the people was immediately proceeded with . They crowded to the arsenal when arms were _distributor instantly . In the evening the palace was guarded by the Scbtitz _? n-gilde ( a kind of civic guard . ) The damage done to large public and private buildings wan immense . Tha house of the interim finance minister Ku ine , was stormed by the people . Tho royal foundry aad tho m-. Utary _txercise houso at the Oranienburger Thore were reduced to ashes , and the artillery _barraolts at tho same gate was muoh damaged , and partb demolished . r '

REVOLUTIONS IN THE GERMAN STATESMl' _RTJSPI 4 N ALLIANCE . Rumour says that a secret _nbiance has been entered into between Austria and Russia , and tho recent loan , and the adrance of G 0 , 000 men to tho Galician frontier , under the orders of Prince _Paskewitch , seemingly confirm it , and a universal cry has been raised in Germany against an alliance with the _Czu-. _IVe are too well acquainted with that power ( _sayB on appeal widely _circulated in the Prussian journals ) , which so willingly interferes _botween German princes
and their people—whoso ley breath freezes life away— . whose friendship entails mors embarrassments than even war itself . Already are Germans , from tbe Dwina to the Neva , pining beneath its yoke ; our rivers have their sources in its dominions , Itusais has not forgotten that her eagles once settled upon the pinnacles of _Konigsberg . Tbe friendship of Russia has ruined onr prosperity , aad * thirty years ago robbed us of the reward of our victories , is she to end by _trampling into annihilation _tlwbloaBom . ing germ of our national existence ? Is she onoo more to reader Germany ' s struggles for freedom the laughingstock of the world , and for ever to exclude us from the councils of civilised and _ennobled nations .
At the recent meeting of fifty delegates from the different states at _Deidelberg , a resolution to oppose any alliance with Russia was unanimously adopted .
A OBKMAN REPUBLIC . A short time ago a meeting of distinguished dele-Bates from different countries assembled at Heidelberg , in order to discuss the basis of a national German parliament . It is now announced that the second and deciding meeting will ba held at Frank _, fort on the 30 th inst . or following day . A _& ropoj ot the former _meeting , it appears , by a letter from Constance , iu the Cologne _Gjzettu of tho 15 th inst .. that tho greatest excitement was produced on the 9 ch inst . at Stokach by the unfounded report , that the delegates assembled at Heidelberg had declared in favour of the establishment ofa German Republic . Immense crowds' assembled aud vehemently declared their readiness to fbjht and die for
the republic .. The peasantry in tho neighbourhood were getting all their sickles duly ground . It ii stated tbat in Radoipbzoll tho authorities were driven out of tho town by tho J dera _*» gogu « s , " A ' peasant war' is exprctcd . Advices from the Lako of Constance , up to the 11 th inst ., say that the whole country of _Oberiand , the Ulack Forest , _Baaz _, and _Ilougan , is iu movement . It is no use talking of waiting for a month , say tho inhabitants , till the meeting of tbe German Parliament , for we aro not sure of the next minute . But the word of order is German Republic , and it exerts its magical power . The party of the movement , aa well as that oftho re-ac ! ion , will , ere long , bo driven
to extremities . The cry of to arms is the general cry to rally . ' An assembly is to meet at Offenburgon the 19 th inst . Delegates of every oommune have been requestedco attend , aad ... the .. _iiiURhjfaiu *< ... if _'RepTi-bfti _' _JJ . _' r ' _.-urm of government has been very general , and has extended to many places hitherto unsuspected of ultra-political _sentiments . Among _thtae are Oarlsruhe , Constance , Manbeim , _Nuremberg , and the Duchy of Nassau . At Neustadr , oil the 11 th , a body of 5 , 000 or 6 , 000 persons assembled in the Ilaardt . carrying in procession a golden flag , on which was _inscribed _'Reffi-mahon of Germany . ' In all these movements the peasants are incited to attack the property and privileges of the landlords .
SAXONY . Serious riots occurred at Erfurt on the Uth inst . The house of an obnoxious brewer was totally destroyed , and the houses of other persons were greatly injured or pillaged . The military at last fired on the crowd , and tea persons were killed . Several collisions with the military took place , and numerous persons were wounded . New and more serious riots took place at Dresden on the 15 th of March . The troopa refused to fire on the peple . Ihe civic guard cleared the streets . The ministry announced that no extraordinary Diet is to be con ? oked on the 20 th of March .
BAVARIA . From Munich all accounts describe the monarch ' happy aB a kins . ' lie seems immensely popular , and hia late proclamation ha 3 quite undone all the mischief caused by his connexion with Lola . Ho hss just declared that he desires peaec with France , without reference to her form of government ; but that , in case she attempts aggression or extension of frontier as _regards Germany , Bavaria , faithful to her duties , will shed the last drop of her blood to preserve the independence and integrity of ' Fatherland . *
In the meantime all her citizen ** are enrolling as soldiers . The students of tho Polytechnic School , the clerks , and shopkeepers , have applied for leave to take up arms , and this request is not coafined to Bavaria . Here all the world are soldiers . There is news from Munich to thc 17 th . On the 10 th a . lar : ie body of persons assembled hefore the palace , where they _thought Lola Montes was to be found . The windows were broken , and barricades were formed . Several persons were wounded in endeavouring to get into the palace , which was guarded by soldiers . They then went to the royal hunting-seat cf Furstenweid , to look after Lola Montes , who , profiting by the twilight , had taken refuge there . Thinking she was _concealed in a house of the _Burgerstraas ;> , where she had before boon found under a sofa , they went to search it , but could not find her .
At night , tbe generate was beaten ; some of the doors of the palace were forced open ; the chambers wero entered , and the desks and account-books of _uome of tho ollicea thrown out of tho windows . The rioters set at liberty the prisoners , aud it wm supposed they had a collision with the gendarmes , as some firing was beard . The troops arrived about eight o ' clock , and restored order . At hall-past nine the magistrates announced that the Gouatess de Landafr . ld had arrived at Oarlsruhe , and had left that place for Frankfort , but these contradictory statements were not credited by the people . At half-past ten tho disturbances had again commenced .
THE INSURRECTION TN WURTEMBERG AND BADEN . The _rising of thc peasants iu _Wurtemberg and Baden is gaining ground . A letter from Stuttgard , ofthe 11 th , says _;—Travellors who havo just arrived hero from _Hechingon state , that the whole of that principality was up in arias , and that they demand abolition of all tuxes . The Duke has _sought safety In flight _.
