21.-The iatelligence received this morn
ing from Vietina. says our correspondent
is of the most serious nature. The accounts
are but meagre as to details, but the result
proves that a complete revolution has been
effected in the Austrian capital. A conflict
in the 13th between the people, left by the
students and citizens. and the military, has
compelled Prince Mletternich to fly. There
has been bloodshed on both sides, but the
number of killed and wounded is not sta
ted. The-Director of Police. M. SeOldnis
kv, has been expelled. The house of
Prince Metternich was sacked by the mob,
and the Grand Dukes have wit hdiawn into
private life.
The military have left the city, which
is under the protection of the Civic Guard
and 'the Students.
The moviement now in progress in the
different 'States of the German Confedera
tion cannot but embolden the revolutionary
party in France. But as every hour brings
antilligence of some new adhesion, some
additional fragment of the old system car
ried away by the great debacle of principles
and policies that htis swept down empires
in its flood, it renders more inexplicable
