REVOLUTION IN AUSTRIA.
Vienna, March 15. — The Emperor has this day taken a drive in his carriage, through several of the principal streets of the capital, accompanied by his brother. The people wanted to take the horses from the carriage, and draw it themselves ; but at the express instance of the Emperor, they refrained from such acts of servility. Count d'Apponi has resigned his office of Court Chancellor of Hungary. A Prussian paper states that the palace of Prince Metternich within the city of Vienna has not been injured by the populace. Yesterday, however, they erected a gallows iv front of his palace, and inflicted capital punishment on the effigy of its most unpopular proprietor. This exhibition continued during the entire day, nor did the authorities dare to attempt its removal. A correspondent writing from Vienna, of the 14th, says — "The Princess Metternich has taken her departure along with the Prince, her husband. The Prince has defended his politicl system to the last extremity. The States were not able to deliberate in consequence of the cries of 'A bas Metternich,* which drowned the voices of the speakers. At nine o'clock a deputation of the States having gone to the palace to request of the Emperor to send away Prince Metternich, the Prince himself came to them, and said, * I have this, moment placed my resignation in the hands of his Majesty the Emperor. 1 Upon which the deputation answered — ' We thank you ; you have saved the country.' " '
