A USTRIA.

The Allgenzeine Zeitung has a letter from Vienna
Vale 15th inst., which contains some particulars of the
o cupation of Waitzen by the Imperial troops under
General Cz,.)rich. ;It would appear that this movement
of the Austrian army is less the result of a victory
than of a fault. The llungarian General Georgey,
after taking Waitzeu in that memorable engagement
which caused the death of the veteran General Gots,
followed the retreating Imperial army across the
Danube, and proceeded on the road to Comorn, leaving
Waitzen (ot which the sole importance consists in its
being a crossing-place on the Danube) garrisoned
by but_ one battalion of llonvads. It appears that
Georgey's troops moved against Comorn in a totally
different direction from that which the Imperialists
anticipated, and that the latter were consequently
misled by a delusion of Georgey's corps having fallen
back upon Waitzen. General Czorich resolved to i
follow up his good luck, and, rallying his troops he
led them back upon Waitzen, which was taken by so
slight an engagement that it must have opened the
eyes of the Imperial General. The present positions
are such that General Czorich's corps is indeed
in possession of Waitzen, but that it has no means
of preventing the march of the Hungarians
to Comorn, being in fact in the rear of the latter at the
very moment when they thought they were confront-
ing Georgey's forces. Georgey himself has advanced
ti Gran, where he is opposed by 10,000 Austrians--
fresh arrivals from Bohemia, who are in possession of
the pontoon bridge over the Danube. The last news
is that a smart cannonade has been heard in that
direction, but nothing has as yet transpired of the re-
sult of the engagement.

Some battalions of the Hungarians have lately
made strenuous efforts to cross the Danube at St.
Andre, below Pesth, the place which wus distin-
guished by the engagement of th 3 10th instant.
They have occupied the island of Pletten, in the
midst of the river, and make frequent excursions into
the country on the other bank, but they are held in
check by the Imperial Colonel Horvath and his bat-
talions. The cannonade from either bank is kept pp
with g:eat spirit.
The bulk of the two hostile armies is still in front
of Pesth. The late rumours of a retreat of the Hun-
garians prove incorrect. Count Schlick, the Austrian
General, and the rungarian commander Dembinski,
are each in their respective positions on the plain of
It ikosh. It appears that the insurgents intend pre-
venting General Schlick's corps to interefere with the
battle which the Austrian and Hungarian troops are
fi;hting at Gran, while the Imperialists, in their turn,
si,em disposed not to press the point, but to wait for
succour from Austria.

The Hungariala forces which crossed the Danube
Lear Foldvar have not marched from Weissenburg
Buda as was expected, but they have gone down
e banks of the river to assist in the operations of
he Hungarian army against the Servians, and to
i,ght the Au.strian blockading forces at Peterwardein.
Servian Patriarch has fled to Semlin, and the
-whole of the• Woy wociina is in the hands of the Hun-
garians. Itinisha, a large town in the county of
has taken up arms and espoused the cause of
ossuth. Theret is no news from Transylvania.

In the first three months of 1849, as compared with
the corresponding period last year, there has been
an increase of 271,185f1. (4,297,467f1. against
4.,026,19011.) on the direct taxes; of 112,69511.

(4,889,969f1. against 4,713,660f1.), on the excise ;
0f2,1;:3f1.429,607f1. against 27,433f1.) on patents for
gold and silver work ; and 300f1. fur the lottery ;
un the other hand, there has b; en a diminution of
636,79911. rtn registration, starnp.i, and succession
taxes! (4,927,913f1. against 2,564,718f1.); and of
31,142t1. on poitage (331,560f1. against 362,709f1.).
The exact diminution fur the first three months of
1849 is 105,17711.
The. Stmts. Courant of the 21st contains an an-
nouncement by the Alinistor of Finance that a capital
195,400E1. in treasury bills has been issued to
,st of March, in accordance with the laws of the
)ec. 1840, and the 30111 Oct. 1848.
'unts of the 14th, from Copenhagen, state that
therlands ambassador has applied to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs for permission
2 Netherlands vessels, which had entered the
ace the 21st of Mara, to proceed unmo-

lested to the various Prussian harbours now block- '
aded, for which they were bound. This request
has been refused by the ambassador, in consequence
of which those vessels must run into the harbours
nearest to the blockaded harbour of their destin l ion ;
those which were bound for Dantzic, Pillau, and
Konigsberg, to Memel, and those for Stettin to
Weimar. This answer was likewise returned by the
Danish Legation to the British Ambassador and other
parties who made a similar request. No party what-
ever has, therefore, obtained free permission.
The subject now under consideration in the
Second Chamber is the alien question, by which
foreigners will receive a great extension of their
privileges.
The Netherlands East India mail has brought
letters and papers from Batavia to the 27th of
February, and Java to the 24th of February. The
whole colony of Batavia is occupied in preparing an
expedition against Bali ; the expedition was to
have set out on the 24th, but the preliminary arrange-
ments not being complete, it was deferred to the 15th
of March. Great and effective preparations were
being made, in order to ensure complete success, and
the entire conquest of the island. The commandant
of the last expedition, which had such an unfortunate
issue, has been recalled by General Vander Wyck, and
will immediately repair to Holland to answer the
charges made against him, but which he attributes
entirely to the Governor-General.
The inundations have been fearful in the Nether-
lands Indies, and entire plantations have been quite
destroyed.—Dutch Papers, April 21.
