LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1849.

Another proceediog of General Oudixot's has pro-
duced fresh irritation against him amongst the
Romans. Since the consular protest he has not con-
tinued to bombard the town, but he has pointed two
36-poundtra against the high range extending from
the Trinita de Mouti to the Quirinal, which bater
the houses and do almost as much mischief as shells.

Juita 28.

We have had another night of cannonading, but
there is no material change in the etre of things this
morning. The French cannon of the tad bastion
batters San Pietro in M mtorio so severely that the
church, in which a hoepital his teen established for
the severely wounded, is no longer safe, in spi c of
the black firg which ind cites its sac ed characer.
The Romans are therefore obliged to transport the
unfortunate inmates elsewhere, and the battery of San
Pietro is silent during the operation. Two pieces on
the breach, pointed against the town, fire continually,
and are answered by the Roman buttery cf the le
bastion. The French battery to the llt of the
Casino Barberini is silent.

The Pdnline water is again cut off. It is said that
the French fear mines, and flood the environs in
coder to soak the powder.
SARDINIA.—Tuntts, July 3.—The Gautte Pied-
twmtese contains a proclamation, signed this cloy by
the King, addressed to his people, on the neciteion cf
his resumption of his reeal functions, hitherto con-
d to his brother, the Duke of Genoa, during his
Majesty's illness, from which he is cow quite rec.:-
vered. The purport of the proclamation mac be re-
Fumed thus: the people are invited by the King to
return to parliament men of moderato as well as
good principle's, in order not to render imposs ble the
maintenanee of the liberty which the consitution has
given : in a word, it is plainly intimated that, if
the ehries of representatives to the new Chamber
of Deputies be hoetile to the government, the consti-
tution would no lenge* protect liberty.
VENICE.—A letter from Trieste:of the 211 h ult.,
states that the tall of Veri•ee may be ca'culatei to a
certainty; that the Austrians are edednein2 step by
step on the bridge, and teat they mop silecc- the
Venetian battery on the opposite side in four days.
Several attempts at conciliation had been made, but
to no impose ; a few days ago the Venetians might
have obtained honourable conditions; but now Austria
wi,l hear of nothing but an unconditional surr<nder.
The fall of Ancona produced an unfdvourab!e stoma-
' lion st Venice, where the want of provisions was
severely felt,

GERMANY.

AUSTRIA.—We have r e ws front Vienna to July 3.
The head-quart. re of the Austro-Russian army of
the Danube were, on the 2nd, still at ilsbolna. The
third corps had pushed to Iguana; another division,
under Gen. Sthlick, was in the neighbourhood of Xis
Ber, upon the road frcm Raab to Muhl-Wei-s. nhurg.
The main corps of the army, headed by the emperor,
turned off from &amine towards Ace, in order toe ffict
nt the latter pleat a passage acmes the Danube into the
is and of Schutt. with the view of proceeding towards
CJmorn by both bar.ks, a7d undertaking the eieee
of that fortress. But the bridge and the lete-rle-
pont at keg were very stroogly entrenched by the
Ilungarons; and Giiigey was there with 20 hettalione
of infantry, 20 squadrons of es-airy, and pieces of
cannon. The imperialists, embeldened by their f
conquest of Raab, were ffir taking these Entrench-
ments by storm. The battle was obstinate, and tatted
eight hours. The Austro-Russisu army wee coin-
relied to fall hick, after having suffered great lose.
They took, however, from the Hungarians a whole
battery, consisting of six 0 pcunders and two
12-pounders,which ventured too far from the ttenchea
in pursuit, and fell into the hands of a regiment of
light horse. Chirgey commanded the lingy ire in
persov. The emperor is said to hive followed long
with his spy-glass the movements of this per oral,
whose tame has been so often brought to his ears in
connexion with Austrian diematere. This battle oc-
enrred on the 2nd; on the lird a fresh attack would
be made on the lete-de-pnnt at Acs.
There was a battle also nn the road ocennied by
Schlick on the came day. He was met by. Klaples,
at the head of 10,000 men, and stopped from ad-
vancing further.
In the island of Schutt the Hungarians were stiil at
Nyarad. Here there has been a battle, to•t, or rather
an outpost skirmish. The Au•trians, 20,000 strong,
wanted to assume the offensive in order to join the
main imperial army when it crosses the Dennbe. On
the Upper Wang the Maygars were still in povessien
of all points, and the Russian tricolor, which had ad-
vanced from the north under General Sass were
obliged to fall back, so that this leader was on the
let instant driven an to his old poet of
Jordanow, in Gallicia. But whether this retreat was
the vault of a victory on the part of the Magyars is
not known. But it is certain that on the 20th
cannonading was heard at Tyrnau, and it was con-
jectured that this came from a battle at Trertarhin.
In the south Jellachich is making preram'ions to
cross over to the right bank of the Danube at Baja,
and then neon the road of Baja and Foldvar to ad-
vance 'long the Danube towards S.uhl-Weissenburg.
He has, however, only 0,0451 troops disposable for
this purpose, part of his corps having marched against
Theresianop I. Jellachidt will have to mr et with
many difficulties in the course of his mereb, and will
not roily escape the Hunearian corps under Gen.
Anlich, stationed near the Plat'en-See.
Cemrring the operat'on of the Russian army in
the north, another bulletin has come out, which
imparts the following facts : On the road from
Ketcham to S'. Mik dee the main army was divided
in two corps at Nemethi, where one, under the
personal conduct of Paskit wich, entered St. Nlikolcz
on the 29th ; the other, under Ceadajeff, marched in
the direction of the Theiss towards Tokay. At
Tokay a battle was fought with 4,000 Magyars ate-
ti red there. The Russian force consisted of 23
battalions of infantry and 50 squadrons of cavalry,
making about 40,000 men. After an engagement of
several hours, the Hungarians were driven from the
bridge, which, however, they cut away after their
postage. Meantime some detachments of Cossacks
plunged with their horses into the river, and,
swimming acroes, took possession of the pontoons. by
which means the bridge was speedily re-established,
and Ceadajeff crossed the Theiss, a d next day con-
tinued his march against Debreczin.
From Transylvania there is no news.
The Wiener Zeitunn contains an imperial ordinance
concerning the political re-orgatisation of Hungary :
Civil officials of high rank are to be placed at the side or
the commanders of military districts, who are to have the
Veit of u-pegdistriet-eommissionere, and will endue' the
political administration of the counties (Gespannrchnflen)
lying in their district. These officers will be appointed by
minl.teri except on urgent oecivions, and have ,he necessity
force at hand to carry out their orders. Their pay will be
4.000 fl Irina with travelling expenses. Smaller Gespanns•
chnlts will be lumped into one. In the Gespannshatir
the political administration will, in conformity with the
riera of the constitution of the empire, he concluded 'part
from the administration of justice, by as officer with the title
of gover,ment commissioner. 11e will be appointed by the
e amender-in-chief of the army, in understanding with the
imperial eommissiiner, on preprint of the upper diateiet
comm'ai ner and the military district commander. The
government commiuioner is to have. for travelling appoint-
ments. 4001, and a silent of 1,60011 , 1,8001, or 2,0001,
according to the extent of his rule.
PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes :
BERLIN, JOLT 6.
General Wrangel has declared to a deputation of
the common council that the government had no in-
tention of meeting the Chambers with the state of
siege still hanging over Berlin; but upon what day
it would be removed be could not precisely asp. To
their application for leave to hold public meetings to
prepare for the business of elections, the general
replied that such would be permitted under the same
conditions as last year, when it was required that the
common councilman or overseer of the ward should
be present, and that notice should be given to the
eommiseary of police. The deputation then repaired
to the ministry of the interior, where M. Mantenffel
assured them that, as soon as the new laws on the
press and right of assembly came into operation, the
state of siege would be removed.

The deputies of the German government to the
Z Ilverein-congress to be held at Berlin are dropping
in. But, as their number is not yet complete, no
sittings hive been held. General lochmis is here on
a wt:ssiou from the central power. The numerous
diggings of the poliite in search of concealed a-ms
have given rise to the trick of denouncing gardens
with the connivance of their owners, who, after
the whole of their encloente has been led
waste by the spades and pickaxes of the
police, bring their ecthin for damages. The
democrats have lately adopted a highly ingenious
mode of distrihniing placards, by the !adios up little
air hello: ns, which, on reaching a certun height,
tumble out a snowy shower of tickets, which are dis-
persed over the to we. Ye sterday the sky was swarm-
ing with these airy advertisers, and soon after the
streets ear dircevered to be strewn with invitations
to a oelthr tted rine-ehrip. Consi&rtiolc dissatisfac-
tion is expressed with the government, for not pub-
lishing, UM usual, official lists of the oranalties of tl e
iroips at the sea's of war.
BADEN AND THE PALATINATE.—The latest
intelligence is to the 4th inst. Tie fortress of
Rom& Nod not yet surrendered. Capt. Greiner,
formerly the commandant of the garrison has fled
from it, as he found it impossible to bring about a
surrend r, err nto the troops of the empire. •
It is sta'el that Heim eh, the revolutionary mi
Lister of finar.ce, has bteu arrested in Colmar
(Franc?), on the charge of having robbed the public
tre,sury, and has been delivered np to the Baden
authorities.

The krankf .rt Oberpostalds Zeitesny meet, on
Rood authority, that Freiburg has been taken by the
Prussinne, after a feeble resistance, the great body of
the insuig,nts having retired to the atljacen't moun-
tains. In Freiburg (as the case in Itietadt :,140), the
Baden ar i lery corps were the moat deterinit.ed foes
of tilt, Prussians, and resisted all the persuasions cf
the citizens to suer. nder.
