German and Austrian news remains without material altera- tion in

its main features. The Frankfort Government still holds out bravely, and has made a decided effort to raise in behalf of its own authority the peoples of Germany against the Govern- ments ; but with no omen of success. What is going on in the Hungarian seat of war, nobody here can tell : the appearances are adverse to the Austrians and Russians. Meanwhile, Kossuth has done something which, according to his friend& in this coun- try, is not exactly the proclaiming of a " Republic," but more like setting up a " Commonwealth "; a nice distinction ! It is all obscure, confused, and highly minacious to the house of Habsburg.
