EUROPEAN EXTRACTS. AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

The deputation of the Vienna National Guard armed at Inspruck on the 21st ult., and was admitted before noon to an audience with his Majesty. Count Hyoit Wilczek, who had gutted Inspruck, returned ■with the deputation. Several high personagei also belonging to the suit of their Majetties, end othei members of the imperial family, have, meanwhile, arrived. The Cardinal Archbishop of Saltzburg arrived at the head of a deputation from Saltzburg and Linz to the Tyrol, the object of which is the assembly of the propoied preliminary parliament of the German- Austrian provinces in Linz. Deputations from LAbe have already been sent for the same object to Gratz, Kla^enfnrt, nnd Brunn. On the 2<>th ult. a prepaiatory consultation for thii object took plac, between the Saltzliurg deputation, a standing committee, and the burghers of Inipruck. The following ha« been issued by the Emperor t —

" MANIFESTO TO MY I'EOPLE. " The events which took place in Vienna on the 15th of May, force upon me tbe painful conviction thflt anarchial factiorj, supported by an academic legion and •ingle division of the National Guaids, drawn awuy chiefly by foreigners from their wonted allegiance, wished to deprive me of libeity, for the purpose of enthralling m} provinces, which cannot but be universally exasperated at the arrogance of those individual!, as well as the right-minded inhabitants of my residentiary city. I had no alternative hut that of having recourse to violent measure*, through the medium of my faithful garriton, or quietly withdrawing for the moment to lome one of my provinces, which, thanks be to God, have all remained true to their monarch. Thsre could be no question as to the choice to be adopted. I decided for the peaceful, bloodleii alter« native, and turned to the mountain country, which had at nil times been found faithful, and wheie, at the same time, I might more quickly receive intelligence from the army which is fighting so valiantly for their count! y. It is my re olve not to retract or lessen the gifts which I made to my people in March ; on the contrary, I shall ever be inclined to listen to the reaionable wishes of my people in a legal way, and to attend to the national and provincial inteieots. They must, however, be luch at have the general approbation ; be presented in » legal manner: be discussed by the Dier, and submitted to me for my sanction ; they are not to be forcibly pxac'ed by unauthorised persons with weapous in their b andsf ' This it is which I wished to teach my anxiouslyexcited people, for their general comfort by my departure from Vienna, and at the same time to remind them that with parental love I have ever been ready to receive my sons, even those who hate been looked upon as lost, « Inspruck, May 20." Since the 21it instant three incendiary fites have taken place in different parts of Vienna. One wns a inili'ary store, which has been nearly consumed. O c m-m was arrested ; he acknowledged thnt he h«d received money for what he had done from a well -dressed individual. On the 26th ult. the Burgher Guard was on the alert at Frankfort-on-the- Maine, and the strength of the different posts was doubled, ns some apprehension of diitnrbance was entert-mied. There have been meetings of the wot king classes for the last two evenings. It seems some evtl-dispoped persons have been attempting to persuide the workmen here to follow thn examp'e set them by their brethren in Pans, and to force the national Assembly to agiee to a long ih>t of unreasonable demands. The courage and perseverance of the inhabitant of Treviso have met with an unexpected success. General Nugent, de^pninng of being able to gain possession of the pUcfi had raited his camp and fallen back upon Verona. At tl-ree miles from Vicrnza he was attacked by General Antonini, and the affar would have been much more important hud Gene al Dnrando advimccd more rapidly, and token a greater part in it. General Antnnini lott his right arm in the engagement. General Nugent, however, gained sufficient advantage from it to be aMe to effect a junction wi'h Radetzky. and reinforce him with from 14 000 to 18 0 0 men. When General Nugent retreated from Treviso, Durando might have readily cut him off, and prevented him throwing in a reinforcement of 14,000 men into Verona. That general, however, allowed him to pass, contenting himself with firing a few useless cannon shot. The town of Naples presents a tnelnncholy appear ■nee— the streets lined with military— most of the middle classes in deep mourning—many shops still closed— a general gloum and distrust throughout the city. r IThe Chambers, wlrch were to have met on the 1 5th, are dissolved w'th the National Guard ; but the King promises still to fo low out his constitutional concessions. Many of the prisoners have been set at liberty ; and another inquiry is to be made retrospeciive from May 1, to ascertain the cause, and who were the leaders of this unhiippy demonstration again-t the King and government. A new ministry has been chosrn of men consideied liberal in their views. A fresh t lection is to take flace, but as the provinces are said to be more anti-royal than i» t!ie city of Naples most people ngree it will be difficult to get a House vvho will work in ton junction v»i>h the King.
