      GERMANY . REI 6 JT OP TERROR AT YIENSA . IHI yDRDKE OF H 0 BERT BLTJM . We announced , last week , the mnrder of Robert Blum by order of the Austrian Brigand , Windisedgratz . We now give some further puUcn ^ w . Vkwja . Nor , 11 . —Robert Blum was all but secretly 8 hpi yesterday morning , in the Brigitinuer meadow , jost outside the Leopoldstadt . Sieeaetly , in fact , was the whole affair maDazed—trial ,

      sentence , and execution—that it was not till the afternoon tint the report of it was spread about the town , thanks to the hints dronned , in a triumphant tone , by certain Austrian cmcers . It is impossible to describe the gloom which this execution has cast over the capital . The subdued tone of conversation in thecafes and other places of public resort , the mysterious whiiper , the suspicious glance , all betray the public uneasiness . Arrests , frequent , numerous , and secret , are the order of the day . A letter from Dresden , of the 12 th , says : —

      Blum hu been shot . This fewfol ' nstra reached m through sa cffidal aespatoh ieut by The Ssxon Ambas . ssdor . The ioteUigeuca t > as been spread ftronth tbe town , and earned the greatest Indigestion . A number of members of the Lsft of onr Saxon Diet , in conjunct tion with several deputise of oar Frankfort Anembly at present en leave , met and prepared the following procWmatton , whlcb wat sent fottk to tha people . It is as foUswi : — 'Anunheard > ofoccurrence has taken pUce . R « bert Blum , the leader of the decided party of freedom in thaPr&nkfort Assembly , ttemeit Mtfcfal friend of tao people , &ai been murtereo in cold bloofl , In conieqnsnoeofbis high-minded participation ia A& heroic figbtef the Viennese . The horror of united Germany wiUbe excited towards tbe perpetrators of this deed , whieh did not tpire the head of a representative of the people . Tbe German people well know its doty , and nill declare iu owa the children of him who wa < the most hononreS upholder of its liberty . ' The matter will be brought tomorrow before the Diet .

      The following ia supplied by a correspondent of the Timkb : — Tbe mauthu ? suddenly sentenced te A %% 1 \ t »»( te , a n ( i uiusi sphere of action , wia certainly an extraordinary phenoatnon in tfae history of the psliiioal events of this year . Blum ' s father was one of those hardy labourers whom we see oa tbe banks of the Rhine losdlog andnn loading the cargoes of the vessels . He puied his earliest years at Cologne , assii ttog his father in hie fade oecnpa . don . What promoted him to an employment in the Cologne Theatre I do not know—not any graces of body or features , for he wu extremely awkward and ngly ; bat he receired the minor omees of cleaner of lamps , and , later of bor-opener la that playhouse ; 1 bnow a lad y at Categae who told me that for many jestt Blom had

      opened the door of htr box . During this time he spent hU fair lelinre momenta in cultivating hit minfl . I snppose that even reading and writing wsra arts ha had jet ta learn for he was born long before Colcyne caae under Prassiss dominiov , and tbe Archbishops Eleowra of Cologne were not famoui for the care they bestowed upon general tuition . At L « ipsic , where he hsd tbe same office at the theatre , anJ , later , that of tick « t-selhr , h-3 began to increase Mb income by writing small essays . They were much read . asd brought him into immediate contact with the numberless littcrattn , as th jy an called , or authors , wcolWe at Mp 5 ic , M tl » centre of the gl . gantic bookselling trade of Gtrmsay , Frrro the attention he gsT » to the pure idiom as spiben on the stsge , he lost the tolgsrityof his native Cologne dialect , and

      this ad ted to bis natural eloquence , soon gave him a great ascendancy in the growing political agitation of tha day . The ticket-seller became the editor of alters political an * semi-political almuacks . in which his own ar tides ( of wbSeh I recellect reading few several years ego ) , distlogalshed theauelves by a choice of language which sometimes contrasted with the unralineis of the principles propounded . Rouge ' s necCatboliciim wss taken up by him with tbe greatest ardour ; hie speeches lefl imed tfee iadifference of a great portion of the Lsip >! c Ramanlitt ; he collected a congregation which had as long an existence as m « ra agitation of a reality can have , and he was considered the nataral leader whenever a oolitical crisis approached . In Angaat , 1843 , when the ftoaaniit tendency of Prince John of Saxony had drawn upon him a passing unpopularity , aad a rl » t % reke ont , Blamgive a clear and tangible direction to the whole , quieted the farions mtb into obedience to bis will , and renting from his dictatorship , spent the evening in selling

      opera tickets . He married into a Leipsic family , settled ai bDoksftller , end waited for tbe events to come . The event * did coma in March of this jear . Hs was tbe indefat- ' gable agitator from that moment . Oae afttrooen . when the people of Leipiic , who without dreading tbe troops that were sent to surround the city oa all sides , despatched petitions and deputations to Dresden , were a < s : mbled la a large eqaara of the city , Robert Blum appaired with a Royal reply in his hand . He entered a honse and began to read it aloud to the waiting populace from a balcony on the second floor , as the evening drew oa . A few liass were read ef tbe King ' s proclamation , bat evidently with sams difficulty , and Blum said—Gentlemen , yon mast excase my reading indistinctly ; yoa know it is so very dark np on high . ' Hia stentorlike voice and tho precision of hts manner rendered him a very popular Tioa President ia the famoas Torparltment at Frankfort in the last days of Match , aad his election at Leipsic was almost unaaimoui ;

      In the Gtrman Parliament he was considered by tbe Conservatives as one of the most dangemas leader * , principally on account of the gentle tread with which he marched onwards . He , the carrier ' s son kaew what it was not to get into a fasa . He was sent with fear others to represent the aympsthieB of ths 120 who form the Radical ptrty to tbe ' gentrout paople ef Vienna , 6 nA neie Mi usual canlkm deserted him . Ailrsports say , that his speeches were without eicepjlos , of the wildest Jacobinical character . Having stood prominent as a leader after tha proclamation of Prince Windischgratz , it appears that he was the first sentenced to death . The Brussels paper , the Ikdepkndbscb , iays : —

      u . Blum , by hastening to Tlenna on the first news of the revolt , by exciting the people to resistance by bis speeches , and by taking np arms , abdicated his character of Deputy . Lass trisa than his colleagues , HU . Hartman and fredel , who were more interested than he , inasmuch as tasy an Both Austrian * , n « constituted bimselfone of the Lieutenants of the Garde Mobile of Vienna , and disdaining to take the precautions renorteu to by his men , wba sheltered themselves by the ine . qualities of the grannd , braved the bullets of the

      Teherehans , reproaching those who were nitb . him with weakness and cowardice . Bat he was not taken with arms in his hands , and it was not until three days after the city had surrendered that be was fonnd in his bed and taken from it . He has left a widow and four young children . If . Clam , whom I knew at Frank / or * , bad all that open hearted eloqaesce , that simple and impressive style of addressing the mass , that censtitutes a genuine popular speaker . HU xica and ju » t rhetorical imagea made him tbe delight of the populace , by all oi whom his execution is deemed a martyrdom .

V OrUd by the state . After tha meeting was over , the people tore down and broke to pisses the arms of tho Austrian Consnlato . : « .. „

      At Dresden , on the 13 th , the case of Blum was orought before the second chamber bv Tschirner , who Baked minister ! what hsd been done in the matter . The minister Von Pfordten replied , that when we saxon goTernment learnt the state of things in Vienna ,, instruction were sent to the Saxon » mp ^ J'TxM / 4 tha necessary protection to all subjecte of thai kingdom . When it became known titati Blum had been tafcen prisoner , initrnetinng pe re « . ntonthe 8 tain 8 t . to protect him from further prosecution , by virtue of his being a native of Saxony . Before these instruetions reaohed Vienna he had been shot . The government bad since written to their envey at Vienna to demand all Blum ' s fficts , and to see that the necessary ceremony for his interment should be attended to ; and further to demand that all the necessary documents conoerniHK the condemnation ef Blum be sent to the government at Dresden .

      Tiohirner then moved that the Saxon ambassador at Vienna be requested to render a full acoount of his ooaduot , and that the Central Power be called spon to take energetic steps to obtain an atonement for tha injury inflieted on the honour of Germany by the . ' murder ef Blum . This motiea was adopted , and was subseq uentl y taken up and passed in the first ohamber . Frodel , the companion of Blum , arrived at Dresden on the 14 th inst . 8 IJTIKO OP SHg NATIONAL ASSEMBLY . Frankfort , Nov . 16 . —M . Kirohgessner , reporter of the committee on Austrian affairs , presented a report on the motive of M . Simon ( of Troves ) , touching the arrest and execution of M . Robert Blum . Tie committee proposed unanimously the following resolution : —

      The National Assembly , in protesting in the face of all Germany sgiinst the arrest and uecutlon of Robert Blum , whioh bai been perpetrated ia contempt of tbe laws of the empire , of Sspt . 80 last , summon the ministry of the empire to take tbe most energetic measures to bring to trial and punish ths persons who are , direotly or indireotly , implicated in the said crime . This proposition was discussed by the Assembly , unanimously adopted , and declared to be urgent . M . Nauwerck then presented as urgent the following resolutions : — 1 . The ministry of the empire shall order the Prussian government to render » a account of Its conduct in dissolving the Burgher Guard of Barlin , and declaring that city ia a state of siege . 2 . The lejsi right of the Prussian people , and particularly of the Constituent Assembly of Prussia , are placed under the protection of the empire .

      3 . A commission of the empire shall be sent immediately to Barlin to cany into eseoutbn th « aa resolutions . These resolutions were unanimously agreed to , and the oomnission wai ordered to set off immediately , which they did . Lettera from Vienna of the loth speak of growing discontent and opposition in the minds of most of the inhabitants , evea amongst many who were formerly staunch friendsof the government . The proclamation

      isBusd , admonishing the people to abstain from in * fUmmatory discourses , and calling upon the well meaning to unite in defeating the ruinous plans of ike agitators , had little effect ; tha people still think the only way of settling their difference is by the edge ot the sword , and that barrioadeB are the most natural means of remonstrance . At lea it a third of the weapons taken from the arsenal are still in the haids of the people , and when the general disarmament was proc ' aimed , in spite of a rigorous search the suburbs contributed little .

      The news of the late events at Berlin produced a profound Mnsatwm in Vienna . The Berlin pavers were read aloud in all the coffee bouses . Crowds thronged round the readers , interrupting them by exclamations indicative tf their disgust or approba . tion . The King ' s proclamations were received with shouts of derision . The people , though tongue-tied on the Bubjeotof their own affairs , thought themselves justified in giving full vent to their feelings in tkecssaof a foreign state . It was of Vienna that people thou ? h » : they oheered tbeir own party , and ia jeering the King of Prussia they thougut of their own Emperor . Immense military preparations are being made to cruth the Hungarians .

I wrote you yesterday that Messenhaujer had been sentenced to death by hanging ; the bcbtenoe was changed at a late hour last night , and tfae unfortunate man died a soldier ' s death . This

      commutation of the manner of the execution was all which the frequent and urgent intercessions of Messenhauser ' s numerous friends and relations could obtain fron Prince Windisobgratz who has not even granted a respite to wait for the Emperor ' s deoision on a petition to p&rden the offender , whioh , with a deputation from the Municipal Council , was forwarded to Olmutz by special train at a late hour yesterday evening . Messenhauser was a man ' of high character , and his military talent rose considerably above the common level .

He ( Heaton ) attended in his office every morning from half-past eight to nine for the purpose of hearing applications from the paupers . — Coroner : The man did not know the child was ill , and it seems extraordinary that Silvester Shaw is

      received into the workhouse with six children , and there is no one to tell him that one of his . children is ill until after it is carried to the churchyard . — Shaw said , with respect to the ether children , he helievedthem to he in different parts of the building , but he could not see them .
