Dladelettez. On the day on which this Latter was to deliver his first -lecture.4a ciowd of young students, attached to Rembold, a'!Omblcd witlh a dctermmation of preventing the lecture from taking place. Aledelenez did not appear; but in h,s stead came the Ecclesiastic State-Counsellor Porondra, who attempted, but In vain, to read a discourse. Theriotousyouthsdrowned his voiceln continualbises, clamour,.and shouts of Rembold for ever!' For two days this dis- turbance was repeated; on the third, 1I. Porondra succeeded in de- livering his lecture; bat it was only by having -taken the precaution to shut the doors of the lecture-roomn, and to exclude the most dis- orderly of the students. The Austrian Government haq procceded to most rigorous measures against the young rioters ; having scized the ringleaders, and sentenced them to eerve in the army fcr life."

The Protestant students of philosophy had taken the prgtUaution of absenting themselves from this riot. 'P. S.
