AUSTRIA.
The constitution of March was solemnly published in Pesth on St. Stephen's Day, the 26th of December. It was read in German and Hungarian, but not in the Slovak language, as all present unanimously declared that they had understood it in the one or other of the languages which had been employed. High mass and Te Deum were afterwards celebrated, -and the ceremony concluded with a great dinner given by Baron Haynau. Six persons, formerly Austrian officers, were condemned to death on the 12th December at Arad, but their sentences were commuted to twelve years' arrest in irons ; two others were sentenced to twelve years' arrest, one to five, and another to three years. The National Zeitung says that a traveller who had arrived at Czernowitz, from Moldavia, reported that great numbers of Russian troops, particularly cavalry, were being concentrated there. Private letters which have been received by some of my friends from the principality in question do not mention one word of this. — Times, Jan. 5.
