RUMOURED SURRENDER OF GEORGEY.
The Wiener Zeitung of the 17th inst. publishes the
following

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.
"His Excellency Feldzeugmeister Baron Haynau to his
Majesty the Emperor.
"His Excellency the Feldzeugmeister Baron Haynau
informs his Majesty the Emperor, by means of a courier,
who will reach Schonbrunn by the evening train, that on
the lath of this month, at Vilagos, the rebel chief
Georgey, together with a great part of his army, amount-
ing to between thirty and forty thousand men, laid down
their arms and surrendered at discretion.

Vienna,
in the existence of guilt so black and of treason so
atrocious as must be that of GEORGEY if the above
statement be true. The guilt of the American AR-
NOLD was as nothing in comparison with what
that of GEORGEY must have been, if at the head of
40,000 men he has laid down his arms. It is true
the praises which have of late been lavished on him
in Russian and Austrian reactionary journals seem
to indicate that he has been engaged in some trans-
action' with the oppressors of his country, and for
some time past rumours have been circulated of the
probability of his deserting to the Austrians ; but we
cannot yet believe that GEORGEY can have bartered
his fame and sold his country for Russian gold. An
evening contemporary has the following
"It appears from information which reached Warsaw on
the morning of the 16th of this month, that the Hun-
garian Diet had dissolved itself, after surrendering its
powers to Georgey. This act was followed by an un•
conditional surrender to the Russians, on the part of
Georgey, in the name of all persons in arms against the
Austrian Government. This event took place at Arad,
on the 11 tkinstant.
" The same account gives particulars of the raising of
the sieges of Temesvar and Karlsburg, and of the second
defeat of Bem by the Russian troops under General
Luders, in the Rothenthurm defile. The engagement
took place on the - sth of August, when the combined
forces of the Russian Generals Luders and Harford
simultaneously attacked Beni, and totally dispersed his
corps, taking 15 , pieces of artillery, upwards of 1,000
prisoners, and killing or wounding about as many more.
" An arrangement had been entered into between the
Russian Field-Mar/Alai and Georgey, in virtue of which
a commission, composed of an officer from each of the
three belligerent parties, was to proceed immediately to
all the divisions of the Hungarian forces, to put a stop
to further hostilities."
The Wiener Zeitung also publishes the following
dispatch from HAYNAIT, announcing the relief of
Temesvar

" Soldiers !—The privations and fatigues sustained by
you upon your difficult march from Pesth hither, the
bloody battles of the Theiss and Maros, and the hard
fight of yesterday, which lasted twelve hours, have
been crowned with the brilliant result of the relief of
Temesvar.

" In this achievement you will find the reward for
all the hardships and dangers endured by you with the
most manly patience and cheerfulness. You will find
that reward in your own breasts. You aro the liberators
of those heroes who, already hard pressed by a siege of
three months, soon, perhaps, through want, would have
been condemned to the sad necessity of being obliged to
acknowledge rebels as their conquerors. By the speed
of your marches, which is matched by few examples in
the history of warfare, by your bravery, you have
rescued the most important bulwark of Lower Hungary.
Soldiers I—Our beloved chivalrous Emperor will ac-
knowledge these your deeds. Your praise from his own
lips is, I know well, the highest reward for which you
strive. I, the witness of your courage, of your perse
verance, can only express to you my thanks for the joy-
ful readiness with which you have executed my commands
on all occasions, even the most difficult. I express once
more my expesotion that you will preserve the same
constancy and valour in the further course of this war,
and conduct the same thereby to a speedy and glorious
end.—Head-quarters, Teraesvar, August 10, 1849.
HAYNAU, F. Z. M.
WOIILGEMUTH, the new Governor of Transylvania,
arrived at Hermannstadt on the 26th Ult.
KOSSUTH was, it is said, at Pancseva.

On the 14th a disturbance occurred in one of the
minor theatres of Vienna, which is indicative of the
popular mind. A drama founded on the current
events of the day was produced at the Arena, in
which the red-cloaks (the Croatian cavalry of Jella-
chich) were represented conquering the Hungarians.
The suburbans hereupon raised such a row that the
performance could not proceed.
Letters from Szegedin, of the 24th of July, puts
us at last in possession of a clear and coherent
account of Hungarian operations from the 6th to the
24th of that month. They show us the real position
and prospects of Dembinski up to the 24th of last
month ; and by recapitulating the antecedents of
Georgey, confirms and explains the account of his
victory over Grabbe on the 28th of July. That
victory is, we see, now admitted by the Vienna
papers. The Ort Dezeische Press* of the 15th of
August states, that it has learned on good authority,
" that General Grabbe has been driven back upon
Comorn by Georgey."
From the 24th of July darkness again falls over
the events in the region of Szegedin, and from the
28th upon those in the vicinity of Onod. Intelligence
respecting Georgey, received by way of Warsaw,
appears to us of a questionable character.

According to the Warsaw intelligence, a great
battle had been fought at Nagy-Karoly, between
Georgey and Paskiewitch, in which the Russians had
the better, and took 6,000 prisoners. The date of
this battle is not specified in our dispatches, but it
would appear to have taken place (if it all) about the
9th of August. Nagy-Karoly is about fifty English
miles E.N.E. of Debreczin, and seventy to the S.E.
of Tokay. Georgey is represented as retreating before
Grabbe and Osten Sacken, in a southerly direction,
while Tcheodajeff, with the 4th corps, preceded Pas-
kiewitch, through Debreczin, to cut him off from the
road to Grosswardein. Nagy-Karoly is the point at
which the roads from Debreczin and Tokay meet,
and no doubt Georgey would be, if defeated, as the
last Russian bulletin gives out, compelled to fall back
on Transylvania by the road of Nemethi Szatmar and
Nagy- Banya.
One reason why we suspect this news to be fabri-
cated is the utter want of any apparent motive for
Georgey to advance to Nagy-Karoly.
VIENNA, AUG. 17.—The Wiener Zeitung of the
16th says, that according to authentic intelligence,
the Imperial army has again occupied Raab. Per-
sons who brought this intelligence add, that this has
been effected without striking a blow. The second
corps of the Hungarian army, under KLAPKA, which
is said to number 30,000 men, has effected a retrcgrade
movement, and has fallen back upon Comorn. The
insurgent troops which were stationed at Schutt
have returned to Gutta.
