RETREAT OF JELLACHICII AND
AUERSPERG FROM VIENNA.

Jellachich and his Croats have retired from the
Wiener 11. rg towards Styria, and Ancreperg has aban-
don, d hi- position on the Belvidere and the Schwart-
=berg Garden. Thu, former had reached Neueadt.
The latter has gene to Enzersiorf. Thus a complete
separation is made between the Austrian force and
the !to ps of Jellachich. This news, which we an-
nounced in a lato edition last evening, comes con-
fit no d trum Vienna under date the 13th inst.
It app.ars that the Ban's position is one of immi-
nent dat.ger, particularly, after the calling out and
organiss,ion of the landsturm. Up to 2 p.m. on
the 12.11, there was every appearance of a contest.
The advanced poets of the Croatian army had com-
menced a partial attack on the national guards near
the gate of the so-called Landstrasse ; a few shots
were exchanged, and then the assailants withdrew.
Memitime all the popular force had received the
alvm and soon appeared under arms. The text in-
telligence was that the troops of Jellachich had left
the Wiener pug and proceeded towards Neustndt,
The Hangman army was at Briialt. awaiting the in-
vitation of the Diet to advance to the city. In the
afternom of the 12'h that body held a secret sitting.
It is thought that the question of requesting the Hun-
garians to enter Vienna MU discussed therein.
According to all &receipts, the violent death of the
Minister of War had infuriated t`le forces under Auer-
arra, so much that they were greatly dissatisfied with
his inactivity. On the other hand, Prince Felix
Schwanceberg (whom rumour names u his succes-
sor) is very popular with them.
During the sitting on the 11th the Diet received a
telegraplec message front Bruno from its commis-
skater, Herr Lohner, to the effict ;bat ho had cot yet
encountered his imperial majesty, and that he should
proceed in search of him. It appears that Herr
Hornboioel, had offered his resignation to the Empe-
ror, because the latter had declined issuing en ordon-
nanee placing the 8212 of Croatia under the command
of the Austrian Diet.

The 13, eslauer Zritung of the 13th contains a glow-
ing announcement of the commencement of hostilities
at Vienna ; but, u above mentioned, there was only
a b. iet encouter between a portion of the advanced
Fats of the Croatians and the national guards. Two
of the lam.r wire killed.
During the sitting of the Diet on the 12th a note
was received from Auersperg announcing that he had
withdrawn from the vicinity of the capital. He gave
it to be understood that that step was not necessi-
tated by the difficulty he experienced in getting pro-
visions. lie had, on the previous day, demanded the
disarming of the " Proletariat," a demand with which
the Diet peremptorily refused to comply. The fa-
vourable positions abandoned by Auersperg's troops
were immediately occupied by the national guard.
Daring the day it was resolved by the committee of
safety to propose to the Diet the arming of all persona
of the male sex capable of bearing weapons. On the
12th, at noon, the Emperor was expected at Selo-
wits, whither the deputation from the Diet pro-
ceeded.

Dobblbot Faa resigned on the plea of ill health, and
also because, as he states, the policy of the ministry
in the course of formation will be different from that
of the cabinet to which he belonged. The latter rea-
son is not exactly a dins one.
Some frightfully mutilated bodies were found is
the deserted camp of Anersperg. One of them was
convey. d by the people to the front of the Parilament-
house, from which several of the members came out
in erdir to look urn the melancholy spectacle.
Amongst them was Schuselks, who, after gazing with
emotion on the disfigured corpse, exclaimed, "Swear,
brothers, that you will not abandon one iota of free-
dom or of popular rights, even if all of us must suffer
this death." With uplifted hands the assembled
crowds took the oath as administered by the popular
orator.
In opposition to the contemplated Slavonic con-
gress in Moravia, the Austrian Wet has resolved to
convoke one in Vienna of the Hungarian races. The

following address has been sent by the Hungarian
Diet to the Austrian one:
The Hungarian natios declares before God and the world
that it will reepeet the liberty of Austria equally with its
owe liberty, and that it will ever consider it to be one of
its holiest duties to powerfully mist, in conformity with the
wishes of the Austrian nation, in maintaining that liberty.
Hungary rejects all negotiations with the caniarilla and its
perjured hirelings (eide bruchiges sokinern). The Hunga-
rian nation begs of the noble representatives of Austria to
take energetic steps against those parties ; sad, in like man-
ner, as we denounce as a traitor every Hungarian who raises
Ms unhallowed hand against the freedom of Austria, to de-
class • traitor to his country every subject of the Austrian
inonnechy who shall give the least suppert to the rebel del-
lachielt—that perjured instrument of the camellia for the
depression of the liberty of Austria and Hungary.
The address states in conclusion that the Hungarian
troops will return to Teeth, if the representatives of
Austria send word that the enemy has been defeated
by the Austrians alone, and that the co-operation of
the Hungarian army is not required.
The following summary of the important proceed-
ings in the Austrian Diet, during the 11th and 12th,
will be found of interest:
In the sitting of the 11th, Schuselka rose, after a
preliminary debate, and said :—Vienna has had the
pleasure of receiving, during the night, 3110 well
armed national guards from Braun. Telegraphic
messages were sent to Gratz to request the assist-
ance of the guards there, in consequence of the
fatigue of those of Vienna. This was immediately
promised. A despatch has arrived from Lehner, say-
ing that he had not yet met with the emperor, that he
was et Brun, and was proceeding. further to seek
him. From Hornboetel we have received intelligence
that he has sent his resignation to the emperor. Ile
had begged of his Majesty to place the Ban Jells-
chich under the orders of the Austrian ministry. This
he had not done, and therefore he, liornbostel,
must resign. A letter to the minister
Krauez states, however, that the Emperor has not
accepted the resignation. The committee of safety
now proposes that a deputation of one member from
each of the provinces should be sent to the Emperor,
fur the purpose of placing before him in all honour
and candour the present state of the city and the mo-
narchy. This deputation to consist of Borkowski
(Oallicia), Skoda (Bohemia), Weiss (Moravia),
Purtscher (Lower Austria), Peitler (Upper Austria),
Thief. Id (Styria), Klementi (Tyrol), l'iladoniess
(Kiistenland), Kautachitach (Myna), and Hadmilli
(Dalmatia). This proposal is ad mad, with this
amendment, that the deputation be named by election.
Schuette then proceeded. In order to give
unity and stroogth to the regulations for the
protection of the city, the committee has decided
to give the commandant a council of war. The sol-
diers in the city will be placed in barracks and under
rigid command. This member then proceeded to de-
scribe the scenes which had taken place in the town,
how Borrosch had done all in his power to prevent
the death of Count Latour, and after some conversa-
tion on this subject, the election for the deputation
above-mentioned took place, when were chosen, with
little e xception, the members whose names are already
given. The changes are—Feisak for Moravia,
Schmidt fee Lower Austria, and Dolsheira for Elyria.
Borsch was commissioned to write the address to be
carried by the deputation to the Emperor. The sitting
was then adjourned and resumed in the evening. Bor.
roach read the address,which stated that the Diet desired
to support the throne of freedom. A warning is given
against delay on his part. Ile is begged to give heed,
as he did at Innspruek. It must not be said that his
Majesty had sacrificed a thousand innocent for the
life of one, and torn the monarchy asunder by causing
a civil war, by which blood would How in streams.
The Diet would, like Curtin, cast itself into the abyss
in order to avert such an evil. Should the sacrifice
take place, their remembrance would indelibly live,
and remain an accusation against those who had been
guilty of it by their evil counsels. A sanguinary mi-
litary rule could last bat a short time : it would be
inglorious, and sow the seeds of incalculable evil.
The address was adopted after some discussion. A
member sliced the minister Kraus whether a list of
trusty men from whom the Emperor should choose
his ministers had been made out e Krauss answered
that there had been no liar mode oat, as the choice
of these depended on the result of Hornboaters inter-
view with the Emperor. Umlauft, on the part of the
committee. brought before the Diet a letter addressed
to Count Auersperg, bringing to his notice the at-
tacks made by his soldiers on the life of several
guards and on the property of the citizens generally,
and making him responsible fur the consequences.
The expimtion of the presidency taking pace on that
day, Smulka was re-elected by acclamation, and the
sitting was adjourned.
In the sitting of the 12th Schuselka, as reporter of
the Committee of Safety, rose and said: An import-
ant piece of intelligence I have to give is, that Com-
mandant Auesperg has abandoned hie strong posi-
tion. Last evening ho wrote a letter stating that a
Hungarian army hed advanced, and that it was pos-
sible that here might be the field of battle of the
Hangaro-Croatian question. From the situation of
Vienna he could not join with the Ban ; and he now
turned to the Diet and the ministry to obtain their in-
structione. Ile could not, however, re-enter the bar-
racks until the disarmament of the proletariat. An
answer had already been given to him that the pro-
posed disarmament could not take place, and that the
only means of arranging matters was the re-
tirement of the Ban. He (Auersperg), as chief
in command, was anpeeme over the imperial troops
in Austria, and as the Ban had said that his were
imperial troops, he had thereby placed himself under
the orders of the chief, and he (Auersperg) had given
the strictest injunctions to the Ban to retire.
Schuselka continued :—The commandant sent to-day
a letter to the following effect :
I receive every hour fresh proofs of the evil disposition of
the Viennese population. The provisionment has been in
terrupted. As 1 will make use of no force with respect to
the city and authorities, I have abandoned my pontion. I
propose to take cantonments with my troops by En:erode/4
and remove that far from the city, and I beg that necessa-
ries will be furnished for the troops. I have further to re-
quest that they may he allowed to have their effects which
they left behind. I have left General Hattauscheck in his
position is the Invsliienhaus, and I place him under the
protection of the Diet.—(Signed) AtEasreao.
Schuselka went on to say : The ex-Minister Horn-
boatel has left Hedersdorf for Vienne, with a letter
from the Emperor. The Hungarian army is at Brock.
In order that the organisation of the natienal gaud may
be effected as soon as poesible, it is proposed that a law
be passed ordering all persons capable of bearing arms
to place themselves under the command of the chief of
districts. This project was adopted. A despatch
was then communicated slating that the deputation
from the Diet had reached Bruen, that the Emperor
was at Selowitch, and they were going to him there.
A letter was then read from Dobblhof stating that his
health was so impaired that be could no longer con-
duct public buttes ; and that, moreover, he was
convinced that the new ministry would pursue a
totally. opposite policy to his—which would be utterly
at variance with his principles. On these grounds he
had tendered his resignation to his Majesty.
The sitting having been adjourned, was resumed in
the evening. A project for openieg a credit with
the bank for six millions is adopted. Schuselka stated
that Lohner had obtained an audience the night pro-
visos from Archduke Charles. He has sent a re-
script of the Emperor with counter signature, which
L dated Hereogenbarg. One party in Vienna is very
severely spoken of in it, and the Emperor declares
that he will choose another town than Vienna foe
the deliberations of the Diet. The Emperor has er-
upted the resignation of Dobblhof and Bach. Nothing
farther is known of Hornbostel.
A letter from Pesth, dated Oct. 7, says: "General
Massaro. has issued a proclamation to the army corps
in South Hungary, informing them that perfect order
prevails in Buda Perth ; that the Diet continues to sit
in almost undiminished numbers ; that the interests
of the beloved Emperor and King are represented by
a committee of eight members, to the absence of a
ministerial president; that it is unhappily true that
Lieut. Field-Marshal Count Lemberg fell a victim to
the popular fury, but that the people were urged to
lit by the illusive promises and treacherous dealings
which had been exercised nst them ; that he ex-
horts them not to be misled false reports, but to be i
firm and faithful in the ence of their country.
A proclamation has also been issued by Dionys Paz-
mundy, president of the Hungarian Diet, to the im-
perial troops, whom Jellachich is leading about without
any authority or power, in a hostile manner through-
out Hungary. In this proclamation Parnundy
quotes the words of their leader, " that he mast and
would act against the will of the Emperor." He
concludes his admirable address with these words:
"It is still time for you to return to your duty, and
save your leader from proceeding further in his ruin-
ous course, and save the ignom:nions and useless
shedding of blood. Ye valiant Germans, go to Aus-
tria, sad place yourselves under the command; of the
