MADRID, Atm. 3.
Mon arrived &neat Oranja yesterday evening, in
a post-chaise, cheek by. jowl with his old enemy
Salamanca. Mon's carriage had gone on a little
before Salamanca's, and he had kept up the advan-
tage by taking the best post-hones, but hie carriage
upset, and he was obliged to put up with Salamanca's
post-chaise and company. It is said on'Change that
be had given in his resignation, and that Egana
was to succeed him ; others say Orlando,
known by the sobriquet of the summer minister ;
and some respectable authorities asserted that Nar-
vaez himself would take charge of the finance depart-
ment. All the probabilities are that the thing has
been arranged, and that Mon will remain, for towards
the end of the day the operations of the Bourse
became active. Yesterday the Three pet Cents. were
et 26Z ;at nine o'clock to-day they were 26:0 and at
eleven at 27. There is much movement among
speculators.

• What news there is is favourable to the linage-
elate. Up to the latest despatch( s from Haynau's
bead-quarters, Szegedin bad tot been taken. The
.qualification yesterday given of the news of its me-
ntion is thus justified, and everything inch( att s that
an obstinate stand will be :nee the e. The Austrians
•were advancing on it by three columeir, from Fele-
Wise., Halu, and Theresiopol. •
The great number of en means and conflicting pri-
vate accounts tram the seat of war which are pub-
Balled by the Wiener Zeituny, in a semiofficial form.
while co formal bagels aeursay hwelsom Waldo Pro- '
duce the greatest contagion. Thu., it h.'s been several •
times announced in the official journal that Szegedin
has been taken ; while the con:radictoryde es assigned
to this important event prove that it is a mere ru-
mour. All that is positively known is tbs.' liqueur
on the let inst., we. still at Feb gybeze, e .here he
says twat he was obliged to remain, to give a dare
rest to the third corps, which bad taken The,-esiopel
on the 30th ult., while the Magyars retrestea' from 7
the latter place to Ssegedin.
On the 2nd, the advanced guard of Hayman w as at
Kie-Telek, half way from Felegyhen to %en din.
Meanwhile, it is certain that already some sharp re-
sistanoe oo the part of the Magcars had begun. to
make Reel( felt on his left flank, in eousequerice f
which be was obliged to detach a brigade ataint
Czongrad. The position of Szegedin on the nein,
at it. einthenee with the Mucci, covering the %Aka.
and Banat, as well as Guyon'. operations in these
south against Syrmia, renders it a place of great
im—
portance, and no doubt it will be obstinately defended,
as great pains have been laterly taken to fortify it
strongly.
It is said that Paskiewiieh is advancing, by forted
marches, through Debut:tin on Grosswardein.
A Russian courier reached Pesth from Vienna on
the Ist, bowleg despatctes fur General Paskiewitch.
When he got to Nab, there way no one who could
tell bim where the Russian general was. The courier
went on at a venture to Miskolcz. The battle at Mis-
kolcz is given out by the Hungarian party as a great
vivory. Ll•yd's Pesth correspondent reports that it
lasted three whole days. The same authority states
that a hotly-disputes battle took place between Fe-
legyhsza and Kis-Telek. A third engagement is
mentioned between the troops of Dembinski and
Schlick. The hest is intolerable at Pestb, and the
troops of Havasu had suffered greatly on their march
through the marshy waste between the Theirs and
Danube. The water springs on the way were all
Iturbid and foul : the soldiers used vinegar to mix with
ithe muddy drink. •
It has bees mentioned that list week the diligence •
from Vienna to Pistil was stopped between Ace and
Dote, by a party from Comore, arid that some
Austrian officers were made prisoners upon this occa-
sion. The release of one of three, Major Backers,
who, together with the conductor, was sent to the
lAustrian out-posts, and is now in Pi esbnrg, has been
the means of procuring for us some impottant oor-
sections of the mu-statements circulated with respect
to the. garriwn of Comore. The stories about the
ravages of typhus and cholera are pure inventions.
According to Major Becker', whose statement ap-
pears in the Weever Zeitung, the garrison, con-
sisting of 15,000
..men. under the command' of '
General Klapka enjoys excellent health. They are
full of what he :mils Magyar pride and self-conceit,
which means that they are in high spirits and full of
confidence in the issue of their cause. Supplies of all
sorts are abundant, and Knssnth noes in full flow.
Major Beckers gays, that the total ignorance of the
officere with regard to what had been going on in the
world for some months past was startling; and that
the French and Vienna newspapers which fell into
their possession on this occasion, having been de-
voured eagerly, seemed to put them in a thoughtful
humour. And if Klapka should light on another
bundle of newspapers, and see that numerously-
signed petitions have been presented to the British
parliament, praying
i for the interlerenee of her Ma-
jesty's government n the Hungarian cause, the vales
of the Kossuth currency in Comore will not be depre-
ciated thereby.
Layroportion as General Haynan "dimness into the
interior, the garrison of Coinorn makes their activity
felt. General Klapka made on the 30th a sortie from •
his entrenched camp, in which. he inflicted severe
losses on the besieger.. The following bulletin is
given of this affair by the Soldatersireund :
" On the 30th of July, at half-past four in the
morning, the brigade of Pott, posed at Heteny, was
attacked sharply by the enemy, whose force, disposed
in three columns, consisted of between fear and five

battalions of infantt7, 'four divisions of orialry, and
four batteries of eight guns each. Against then
General Pott could only bring up four battalions,
a weak division of thank and six six-pounders. Not-
withstanding the bravest resistance, the brigade
was obliged to retreat, and through Bajts reached
Neuhaus'', continually pursued by the enemy. Behind
the latter place and the Neutra, General Pott stood
his ground, and after being relieved by reinforce,
menu returned to the plateau of Heteny. The loon
of the brigade is considerable; from 30-to 40 UV
killed and wounded, but the number of those who
have been carded of( by cholera and exhaustion is
double that amoent. A false attack was at the same
time made on the brigade of Liebler, consisting of
3 battalions of the regiment Stephan, with nine gums,
in the Shutt. To lure the enemy into the fire of the
entreachmenta the troops were commanded to retreat
beltind4bese i but he did not venture farther. 116

ad-once of the left wing, en echelon, and pursued to
Nemenoers. Hers Gee. Berm plied Lim with good
effect with s well-direeted fire of 12-pounders from
the right bank. The enemy lost t 2 kilted ea
wounded, one an Aker ; our side, one killed, and two
wounded. On ttie gime day the posts of observation
at P. Haps and Mattes were attacked by a superior
form, and the first loos ,
where there is a pontoon'

treated • to "

atbalf-past 10, the bridge was attacked by artillery ;
owing to the active exertions of the 3rd battalion
of Stephan, brought off in safety, when theenesay

The Grater Zeitung reports that General Nugent

with any resistance; but does not account for the
slowness of his 12,000 landsturmers had
been recently nor-%apoorer, but disappeared on the
26th. A small detachment of Magyar troop., in the
same neighbourhood, had retired towards the Danube.
PRUSSIA.—The following is the letter of our oor-
resplendent :
BERLIN, Auorsr 6.
General Lamoriciere arrived at Breslau, on his way
to Warsaw, on the night of the 3rd. General Lame-
riciere was not presented to the King of Prussia at
Berlin, as it happened that during his passage
through the Pruin capital the king was gone to
Stettin, to preside at the ceremony of uncovering the
monument of Frederick William ru.
The King of Prussia returned to-day to Sanneouci
from Swinemilnde.
