AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Accounts from Vienna, of the 2d of May, state
:hat intelligence had reached that city that BEM had
taken the city of Temeswar.

The Prager Zeitung publishes the following ac-
count of the defeat of WELDEN and WOULGEMUTH
by the Magyars. It is dated from Babolna :
" Baron Welden has a strong position here. Imme-
diately on taking the chief command, he determined
upon posting himself at this place. The Imperial troops
in their encampments before Pesth, in the form of a
crescent, were exposed to the continual incursions of
the Magyars. Welden conceived the plan of rescuing
the army, coute gui coute, from the perilous position
which they had held for ten days. He had con-
vinced himself that no offensive operations could be
set on foot from Pesth and Buda in less than a fort
night, in which time he hoped to get all his rein-
forcements together, and as he had ascertained that
General Dembinski was only waiting for Bent's 30,000
men to break through the Imperial army, cross the
Danube, raise the siege of Comorn, and cut us off from
Buda-Pesth, the object of the Commander-in-Chief was
to foil this plan. He, therefore, made the following
dispositions:—Jellachich with his corps, forming the
right flank of the army, he commissioned to Southern
Hungary, with a view of enlisting as many Sclavonians
as possible in his service. Wohlgemuth, with his 14,000
men, 2,000 horse, and twenty-four guns stationed on
the right Gran bank, he ordered to observe a strict de-
fensive, to wait for General Benedek's troops, that
were coming up from Jablunka; in case of attack, to
retreat on the Waag, and there draw fresh succours.
The centre of the army Welden led himself to the
Raab, likewise to await his reinforcements. He re-
solved to keep Buda, and continue the siege of Comorn,
only in case these dispositions should succeed, and the
enemy prevented crossing the Danube. Dembinski
becoming acquainted with this, was obliged to change
or give up his boldly-sketched design, without waiting
for Bern to come up, who probably joined him between
the 23d and 25th of April, he ordered Gorgey to attack
Wohlgemuth. This was done with 7,000 Honveds, 36
squadrons of Hussars, and 42 well-appointed guns.
These settled the business. The infantry brigades of
Wohlgemuth were continually ripped up with these
heavy guns, while the Hussars made diversions to the
right and left. After an engagement of seventeen hours
in the rain, the troops contrived, with unparalleled exer-
tions, to reach the left bank of the Gran, and there
plant themselves advantageously."
It is considered probable that the Bohemians will
make common cause with the Magyars.
The Wiener Zeitung comments upon the progress
of the peace negotiations at Milan, and declares the
following to be the true version of the case :
" On the arrival at Milan, April 13, of the Plenipo-
tentiaries from the Court of Turin, the Austrian Minister
von Bruck, who had previously reached that city, made
two proposals—namely, the full acknowledgment on the
part of Sardinia of the territorial boundaries stipulated
by treaty and still existing, and the liquidation of the
expenses of the double war unjustly forced upon
Austria. At first no impediment was offered to the
fulfilment of these conditions. The amount of the
compensation sum, however, named by the Austrian
envoy, was found to be enormous, and the Sardinian
negotiators pleaded the inability of their Government to
comply with those demands, without, at the same time,
making any other overtures which might lead to a compro-
mise, but falling back upon the right of appeal to France
and England. Against this interference of a third party
in a negotiation, which Sardinia in the first article of the
truce had bound herself instantly to conform to, the
Austrian Envoy felt it his duty to protest. Nevertheless,
the Ministry, with a view to facilitate in every possible
manner the conclusion of peace, authorised their Pleni-
potentiary to abate his claims so far as should be deemed
compatible with the interest of the State and the reapon.
sibility of the Cabinet. In the meantime Sardinia had
earnestly entreated to be released from the conditions of
Art. 3, by virtue of which one half of the garrison at Aless-
andria was to bo furnished by the empire. The Austrian
Minister took upon himself to grant a delay in the fulfil-
ment of this article, in the confident expectation that
the Sardian Government, out of gratitude, would em-
ploy the interval in coming to a proper understanding
with Austria. As the allotted period elapsed without
any decided answer being given by that Government to
the treaty of peace drawn up and submitted to their in-
spection, nor any fresh proposals emanating from them,
Herr von Bruck did not consider himself justified in
longer delay ing the observance of the third article. The
23d was, therefore, fixed by the military authorities
for the entrance of the Austrian contingent, appointed to
make up the garrison of the fort Alessandria. On the
morning of that day the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries
declared, that since the Imperial Government insisted on
the fulfilment of that article, they were instructed by
their Government to desist from the peace negotiations
for the present, although these were not, on that ac-
count, to be considered as broken off. They then with-
drew from Milan, where the Minister Bruck still re-
mains."

The Ilamburgh Bersenhalle has, under the head
Posen, May 1, the following relating to the entry by
the Russians into Austria :
" The Russian army has marched from Poland to the
south. The large encampment at Kirchdorf, which was
formed at such an immense expense, has not only been
evacuated by the troops, but it is to be wholly broken
up. The troops, who have for the last fortnight been
stationed in Kalisch, have received orders which made
them break up suddenly, and proceed by forced marches
to Cracow.

" Even the main body, under General Rudiger,
which has hitherto been stationed in Warsaw and
its environs, has left suddenly for Cracow, leaving
only an arriire guard of about 12,000 men, in a hastily-
arranged encampment in Lowica. The garrison of the
capital has been replaced by some regiments from Mod-
lin and the other fortresses of the country, and now lie
either in the citadel of Warsaw or bivouac in the prin-
cipal squares of the city.
Several regiments of the St. Petersburgh Guards are,
however, expected here. The Emperor Nicholas was
expected at Warsaw from Moscow. The palace of Ka-
lisch has been prepared for his Majesty, who, it is said,
intended going by Kalisch and Breslau to 011mutz, to
visit the Emperor of Austria.

The Russian troops will enter Prussia and be con-
veyed by rail into the Austrian dominions.

PRUSSIA.

The Prossian Steats Anseiger announces the re-
signation of Count VON ARNIM a 3 Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and the temporary appointment of Count VON
BRANDENBURG, Ministerial President, to that office.
Letters from Berlin of the 4th inst. state that four
camps will be formed with all possible dispatch—one
at Torlitz upon the north-east Saxon frontier, a
second by Halle, a third in the Marches, and a fourth
in the Rhenan provinces, with head• quarters
probably at Coblentz. Each camp will be
composed of thirty thousand men, or a com-
plete corps d'armie. A fifth or movable column of
some nine or ten thousand men is assembling, as above
stated, upon the Silesian frontier, east of Ratibor.
Telegraphic accounts have reached Government that
the municipality of Cologne have refused to obey the
order forbidding the general convocation of the
municipal authorities. The result is, that orders have
been issued to augment the garrison, and, in case of
need, to declare the town in a state of siege.

SAXON Y.
REVOLUTION IN DRESDEN.
A revolution broke out in Dresden on the 4th, in
consequence of the refusal of the Saxons to accept
the German Constitution. The people attacked the
palace and arsenal, and the troops and National
Guards were called out. The former fired upon the
latter, who thereupon joined the people. Barricades
were thrown up, and the people were ultimately
victorious. The KING fled to Kiengstein. When
the courier left the people were deliberating as to
the propriety of appointing a Provisional Govern-
ment. The rails had been torn up to prevent the
dispatch of troops from Leipsic.
