From the Washington Unioa. TRANSACTIONS IN VIENNA. We lay before our readers a communication giving curious account of some scenes which hare lately transpired in that populous and excit ed metropolis. It is proper to add, by way of explaining the first part of Mr Stiies's communication in the Vienna journal, that it was by an application at the police office, an inspection of their passports, he discovered that the individuals were not American citizens, it us irum an American traveller who happened to be in Vienna at the time, and who came over in the same steamer With the only one ot them who had ever been to America, Mt Stiles discovered other facts, and from the New York papers he obtained the rest of the information which he was enabled to dis close on the subject. Vienna, Austria, Jul j 15, 1848. To the Editor of the Union . STATEMENT. DearSir: This citj has been thrown into considerable excitement this week by the arrival here, of what was said to be a de-5 putation from the United States, bringing a sum of money to the studeuts of Univer sity here, aud tendering an army, a navy, and pecuniary assistance on the part of that country to the people of Germany. This deputation was escorted with great ceremony from the hotel at which the indi viduals stopped, to University, and there thev delivered speeches, and were pro claimed honorary members of the Academi cal Legion ; after which they were accom panied.by a procession, with music, through the main streets of the city, back to the. hotel, where a guard of honor was posted, in grateful consideration of these distin guished personages. One of the deputies, representing himself as an American citi zen, and speaking of the United States, said : Not only words, but our money and arms, are atyour disposition ; 100,000 men will be ready to help our brethren in Germany," &c. The character of our coun try was likely to be most seriously injured, not only in the opinion of the government of Austria, but in that of all the better class of citizens here the charge d'affaires of the United States at this court, felt him self called on to disavow the conduct of these pretended deputies, and to state the principles and policy by which our govern ment has, on the subject of interference with the local concerns of other nations, ever been actuated. Upon the perusal of this article, the eyes of the community were immediately opened. Every voice was raised in con demnation of the impostors, and this self constituted and highly honored deputation, shrinking into their former insignificance, secretly fled from the city, leaving for in sertion a piece acknowledging (to the great mortification and regret of the professors and students of the University who had been so sadly duped) that they were not deputies; that they had brought no money, but that they would, u tney ever reacneu New York again, give an answer to the charge d'affaires ot Vienna. Later From Europe the United States at " A LOOKER-ON IN VIENNA." From Cist' AdrertUer of Cincinnati. rew persons, even among our own citizens, entertain adequate notions res pecting the extent and magnitude ot wes tern business. It 1 were to assert that the exports of Cincinnati surpassed those of New York, I should startle even intelli gent persons here, aud incur ridicule else where, if the assertions were left without its proper evidence. The proof is as easily made however, as the statement. The ex ports of N. York in 1847, amounted to 852,779,274. This exceeded the exports of 1846 by sixteen millions, and the ex ports of 1 846 exceeded those of any previous year. 'The exports of Cincinnati for 1847, which was the first year during which any register of exports was kept, were value $55,735,152, being an excess over those of N. York amounting to nearly three millions of dollars. I might insist on a still greater disparity being exhibited in the fact, that over five millions of dollars of the New York exports consisted of specie, an article in no degree an indus trial product, and whose export, in fact, ought to be deducted from the business operations of New York, rather than be permitted to swell their amount. These statistics serve distinctly to show the vast superiority of interior to foreign commerce, as a means of adding to the wealth of any community. The probability is that five times the amount of productive industry was sustained in our shipments over theirs the great body of their exports being merely forwarding of the products of the West." Will somebody loan us the Arabian Nights? We want to refer to the story ofSinbadthe Sailor; and see if it will do to compare Gen.

The royal mail steamer Europa arrived at her wharf this morning, at 8 o'clock, from Liverpool, from whence she sailed on the 2d instant, bringing seven days later intelligence than the Hibernia, after a passage of twelve days. In Liverpool, during the week previous to her sailing, favorable representations as to the crops in the United States had in duced holders of breadstuff's to offer Ame rican descriptions more freely, and the choice afforded was large.

The special commission will not com mence to sit as soon as has been expected, as the counsel for the prisoners are to re ceive an official intimation on the subject a fortnight before the day fixed for its open ins:. The commission is to be holden at Clonmel about three weeks hence. The immense mass of documentary evidence has been the cause of the delay.

Numerous arrests of leading chartists continue to be made at Manchester and the adjoining towns. Five had already been tried and sentenced to fifteen months' hard labor in jail. Dr. P. Murray McDowell, a leading chartist, has been convicted of uttering .treasonable language, and sentenced also to two years' imprisonment. The announcement that Mr O'Gorman has escaped, is now positively confirmed. He is known to be in Paris. It is confidently stated that Mr D'Arcv Magee, sub-editor of the nation newspaper, has succeeded in making his escape to America, where he has been before, as an editor of a Boston journal. FRANCE. Flight of Isouis Blanc and Caussidiere. The long expected debate on the report of the committee of inquiry into the affairs of the June insurrection came off on Friday week. Ledru Roll in, Louis Blanc, and Caus sidiere separately defended themselves; the two former in the most indignant terms, repudiating each and all of the charges against them. The latter, more humble, went into details, and contradicted seriatim the insinuations against his honor. When Caussidiere descended from the tribune. General Cavaignac, as president of the Assembly, read, amidst profound silence, the requisition from the Attorney General of the republic, calling upon the Assembly to authorize proceedings to be instituted agaiut Louis Blanc and Caussi diere, charged with being authors and ac complices in the May attempt at insurrec tion. Caussidiere then stated that the As sembly must decide immediately. After an exciting debate, warrants were granted and issued by the police, who pro ceeded at once to their residences.

The Hungarian troops have been defeated by the Servian rebels with great slaughter. A serious riot had occurred at Vienna, occasioned by an attempt to reduce the wages of the female laborers. The contest between the laborers and the national guards con tinued for three days. Six laborers were killed, and sixty-one wounded, including the women. They had taken refuge on an island in the Danube. 'Berlin, also, was the scene of a riot. The house of the President had been at tacked with fragments of benches, railings, and stones. Barricades were attempted, and several were killed or wounded. The Austrian and Prussian ministers had both introduced bills into the assembly to suppress public meetings. EXECUTION IN HAITI. The schooner Mary Chilton, Captain Fales, arrived at Boston from Jeremie, which port she left on the 14th ultimo. The Following extracts from a letter from an American merchant of Jeremie will best ex plain the state of affairs there 'Owing to the stagnant state of affairs there are few or no sales, some collections and little securi ty ; coffee is very high and scarce, and very difficult to be obtained ; a large stock of provisions on hand and no purchasers ; shops all shut up, and the goods deposited in the stores of foreign merchants to secure them from pillage, with which we are threatened every night; thus you can form a small idea of the state of things. I do not think Hayti will be longer habitable for civilized man. The same deplorable event which has befallen Jeremie, is sus pended over every town in the French part of the island, and the approach of the Presi dent is the signal for desolation ; wo to the poor fellow whose innocence may have prevented his flight ; they have determin ed to exterminate 'the mulattocs and are effectually accomplishing their object. They even propose driving off foreigners, and establishing black merchants.7' Capt. Fales. himself, gives a melancholy account of matters in that country. He has on board the Mary Chilton six refugees from Jeremie, one of whom, named Bosse, was under sentence of death, but escaped on board the M. C. in female apparel. The other refugees are Bosse's brother-in-law and his two sons, and Messerse Two or three have brought some and son. property with them, but others are nearly penny less. During: the stay of the President in Jeremie twenty days five men were shot, and fifty were imprisoned. The ex ecution of the five which took place on Thursday, is described by Capt. Fales as a scene of very affecting character: The condemned were brought into the public square, dressed all in white, with their arms tied behind. Hundreds of wo men, in tears, were kneeling and beseech ing: for mercy. A detachment of. about four hundred of the army, with their ofti cers on horseback, were drawn ""tocarry ITALY.

The soldiers fired one by one, and seven balls entered his body. Another was the son of an old woman, a doctress, who had by her skill, saved the lives of many blacks, which was, however, of no avail. The first ball entered at the side of the young man, and came out at the back He told the general who commanded at the execution, that America was a country ot liberty and humanity, and would not look coldly on such barbarous bloodshed. Six more balls were then put into his body, when ne ten, and even atter he was down, they riddled his body with balls. ' After the whole five had been thus executed, their friends were allowed to place their bodies in coffins, when they were followed by large crowds of people to their graves. Even the soldiers of the President's army were in tears at the sad spectacle, which so alarmed the President that he left the town at twelve that night, it was supposed for his house near Aux Cayes. It is said that, previous to the execution, the President was waited upon by a large number of the relatives of the condemned, mostly women, praying for mercy. The President came out, dressed in a red vest, which he always wears upon execution days. While wives and mothers were pleading for the lives of their husbands and sons, the President stood laughing at them. Two executions took place after the President left Jeremie, and two more were to be executed on the Thursday after Capt. Fales left. A leading 'merchant, named Chassayce, who had been condemned to be shot, and who would not fly on account of his wife's sickness, had so far escaped death by bribing the general in command, at the rate ot $100 per day. It is feared that as soon as his means are exhausedhe will be given up to the executioner- The following card was signed by the 22 refu gees whom Captain Fales saved by convey ing them in his vessel from Jeremie to King ston, Jamaica.

This talented and distinguished son of South Carolina; having been on a visit to this place with family, left here on Friday last, forhis home in Edgefield District. As much interest has been felt lately in the course of South Carolina on the Presiden tial election, the following letter from Mr Pickens in reply to an invitation to address the Democratic Association in this place, will be read with interest. W e have been assured by several intelligent gentlemen from the up country of. South r Carolina, that the people of that State are breaking away from the position of neutrality sought to be imposed upon them by some of their politicians, and that the State. is perfectly secure for Cass and Butler. Athens (Ga.) Banner. Athens, September 7, 1848. - f Gentlemen: I received your invitation to address a Democratic meeting next Saturday evening. I am this far on my way from the Springs on account of the health of Mrs Pickens, and regret that we are obliged to leave in the morning for home. I have had no part in public mat ters for more than two years, but confess I feel deep ihterest in the cause you are engaged in. All the cherished principles of our party are at stake in the issues now pending It is idle to suppose that the success of Gen. Taylor, in the present contest, does not involve the triumph of the leading measures of the Whig or feder al party. Once place the nominee of their party in power, with his little political ex perience, and we shall have to battle over again the same principles and the same measures that they urged at the extra ses sion of 1842, when they had a temporary ascendancy. It we have achieved any thing by defeating a United States Bank a stupendous system of the distribution of public funds, and Internal Improvements if we have gained anything by the tri umphs of free trade and the annexation of Texas, then let us hold on to these achieve ments and these triumphs of the Demo cratic party, and yield no position, not even an outpost to our bitter opponents, under their insidious approaches, with the unmanly cry "no parly, but the people's can didate. How any man, whose destiny is cast in the weaker portion of the confederacy, can ever give his support to a candidate who openly off'ers, if elected, to suspend the veto power upon all questions in which we have a vital interest, and upon which the majority may be against us, is to me a matter of the utmost astonishment. The present administration have done their duty faithfully to the country, and 1 sincerely hope their power and their prin ciples may be transmitted by a triumphant majority to those who. profess the same principles and stand pledged to carry out the same measures. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, F. W. Pickkns. To Col. H. Ilolsey, Blanton 11.11, esq., and Jacob Phinizy, esq. i GEN; TAYLOn-U LATE LK'll'ER. The reader will find on the first page of to day's paper, the late letter of Gen. Tavlor to Capt. Allison, his brother-in-law. We cannot see that this letter will help him any. It pleases many of his supporters as a mat ter of course ; but we see nothing in it to induce or entice a democrat to vote for him ; but on the contrary, much to prevent one from so voting. The Washington Union says : . Gen. Taylor speaking of his nomination by the whig convention says : The convention adopted me as it found me a whifr decided but not ultra in my opinions. This statement is incorrect. The whi"- convention did by no means adopt " Gen. Taylor ' as it found him." It found him pledged over and over again " in no case to permit himself to be the candidate of any party." It round him fully pledged in his Richmond Republican letter (writ ten only three days before his Alison letter,) to run as an independent candidate, and not to withdraw his name 6t whoever might be the -nominee." either of the whig or the democratic convention! In this position the Philadelphia convention found him. In this position they did by no means adopt him. Before he could be adopted, Mr Saunders and the Louisiana delegation were called in to stand as his political god fathers, at quite a new political christening of him! And the result was, that the stur dy ' independent'' candidate of his previ ous letters, that would run whether or no, was turned into a very pliant and submis sive personage, whose name would be con sidered as withdrawn from the canvass. by the very act of going into the Conven tion,' unless he were made its nominee! This was how the whigs ' adopted " him : and just how they did not find him!" The Cheraw Gazette says : This letter is a labored effort to satis fy the Northern whigs of his whigisna, and to allay the gathering storm excited by his acceptance of the Charleston nomination. Hence the fulsome flattery of Millard Fill more the Abolitionist ; whose acknowl edged abilities and sound conservative onin- ions,'Gen. Taylor says, 'might have justly entitled him to the fist place on the ticket! THAT FLAG. The democratic ladies of New Berne, God bless them, have just finished a flag for the use of the Democratic Association, which will vie in beauty and size with any thing in these United States.

NEGOTIABLE NOTES! A beautiful article, just printed at tne Carolinian endorser W lUalmost btiaS money without DARING ROBBERIES In Fayetttville. Within the past fortnight several burgla ries ha ve been "committed in this town. Among them, the Store of Messrs. Hall & Hall was entered, and goods, to the amount of about $75 carried off", consisting of bleached domestics, boots, &c. The Cabi net establishment of Mr J. W. Baker was also entered, but nothing of value is missed. But on Friday night last Mr John D. Starr s Store was entered through the transom light of the back door, and goods to the es timated value of 500 were carried off. Among the articles missed are several pie ces of superfine blue and Black Cloths and Cassimeres, pieces of Alpaccas, pieces of super fancv and black bilk and fongee handkerchiefs and Cravats, French Mus lins, and probably Linens, hose, razors, &c. These repeated robberies have produced considerable excitement, and but . for the law-loving character of our citizens, sum mary measures might have been adopted to ferret out the prowling villains. We hope that a more rigid watch may be kept over their movements, and particularly that any goods of the above descriptions, offered under suspicious circumstances, may be re ported to some one in this place. A stand ing reward is, we believe, offered by our town authorities for the detection of the perpetrators of such robberies, and we are authorized by Mr Starr to say that he will pay 8100 reward for the detection and conviction of the robbers of his Store. Fayetttvillt Observer. From the Baltimore American. Sept. 13. DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE AT ANTIGUA. The editors of the American are indebt ed to a commercial friend for a copy of the Antigua Observer of the 24th August, containing the particulars of the destruc tive hurricane with which that Island was visited on the 21st of that month. The storm commenced on the afternoon of that day, and increased in force until two o'clock the next morning, when it sensi bly abated. The account then proceeds to say : Our tranquil island, previously studded with neat structures and populous villages, in this brief interval was shrivelled to a waste of rubbish and ruin! As the day advanced, accounts of calamity came in from alt directions ; and it son became evident that the destruction both of life and property, was worse than had been anticipated. It is supposed that throughout the island there have been two thousand buildings un roofed, and seven hundred totally destroy ed. By far the larger portion of these are the cottages of the laboring classes The damage to the Shipping appears in considerable attributable to the circum stances of there having been at the time but very few vessels in the harbor, and to the good Hiolding ground" of the anchorages.

Gazette, of the 4:h inst., gives the Hollowing important cases ilcciiJ fl irt' the Circuit Court. The first was to this effect : Two men had employed a slave, without the consent of the master, to assist them in unloading a wagon of cotton, promising to pay the slave in liquor. The liquor was furnished, and the boy while engaged in unloading the wagon was killed by a thin! person. Suit was brought by the owner of the slave, for his value, against all the parties, the employees and the slaver. The Ju.ry gave the plaintiff a verdict forth e value of the slave against all the defendants. The other case was a State prosecution against a slave for stealing a slave : The Court, Ffon. Hugh R. Miller pre siding, charged the jury that a slave could steal a slave, and that" the owner of the thief was responsible to the owner of the stolen slave for his value. The case was one of much excitement, inasmuch as ne gro testimony was admitted on behalf if the State to sustain the prosecution. The jury founJ a verdict for the prisoner, upon me ground, as stated by them in rendering their verdict, that the proof for the prose cution was not satisfactory.

The quota due to this btate, under this Act, has been paid with reasonable regularity, in such Arms as have been annually preferred by its Governor. The brass 4 pounders, &c, recently received at the Arsenal in New bern, are in part of our share for 1848, and were ordered there by Governor Uraharn, to furnish that Arsenal with Arms for a Company of Horse Artillery, should any emergency require it.
