AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A letter from the Polish frontiers of the 6th, which
is published in the Borsenhalle of Hamburgh says—
"Major-General Paul Alesandrow, of the suite of
his Majesty the Emperor, as also Count Kankren, have
been sent to the army in Hungary on a special mission.
The former has gone to the theatre of war in the north,
and the latter to the south as far as the corps of General
Luders, at Bucharest. Both are said to be charged with
the most positive orders to make every arrangement for
an immediate termination of the campaign in Hungary.
The Emperor knows too well that the season favourable
for carrying on the war in Hungary with advantage ter-
minates with the month of August, and consequently
that unless something decisive is effected by the Imperial
troops within the next four weeks, it will be expedient
to withraw the main portion of the army, and to be
content with the occupation of some places."
The Borsenhalle adds—" The immense number of
troops sent by Russia against Hungary may be in-
ferred from the fact that not only have the Guards
been sent from St. Petersburgh, but large bodies
of men from the remotest parts of the Russian
empire."
The fourteenth Russian bulletin of the war, the
substance of which appeared in the Third Edition of
The Sun of last night, contains an admission with
regard to the position of GEORGEY, and an account
of the orders given to the Russian General THEODO•
JEFF, which convinces us that GEORGEY has been
the victor in the series of combats between him-
self and PASREWITCH, alluded to in that bulletin,
and that the intelligence of the total defeat of the
Great Russian army, which appeared in the Paris
Presse, is true. The passage is as follows :—" The
forces of GEORGEY, to the number of 30,000 men,
and numerous artillery, took up a strong position on
the 23d, on the heights near Miskloz, on the left bank
of the Sajo. General TREODOJEFF, at the head of
the 4th corps, attacked the Hungarians. GEORGEY
quitted his position on the 26th, and took the direc-
tion of Tokay. General TREUDOJEFF received orders
to give up the pursuit:' Why? Evidently because
he had been so severely handled on the
23d and 24th that he could not continue it.
The Hungarians have garrisoned Raab, and have oc-
cupied Hochstrass, Szendahelz, and Wieselburg, and
have thrown a bridge over the Neutra, and in the
North they have occupied Szered on the Waag.
Should the Hungarians continue to advance towards

the Austrian frontier, Vienna, tipper Austria and
Styria would at once rise and expel the Imperialists.
Su much are they alarmed lest such should be the
case, that WE DEN has caused the position of Sem-
mering, near Vienna, to be regularly occupied by
military.
The Polish Gazette of Posen quotes a letter from
Cracow, which states that on the 2d and 3d of
August the Hungarians entered Gallicia and took
possession of the districts of Wadawitz, Snaiadetz,
Jaszil, and Stanislawow. _ _

It is admitted by a Russian bulletin, No. 15, pub-
lished at Warsaw, not only that the Magyars have
entered Moldavia, with a force from 4,000 to 5,000
strong, but that they previously defeated the Russians
in the pass of Ojtu, killing 40 and wounding 126 of
their men. After this affair the Russians retired to
Onesski in Moldavia.

The NationalZeitung announces the taking of
Hermanstadt by the Russians, to which the Corre-
spondent of Bucharest adds the following :
" The post which has just arrived from Cronstadt,
brings the sad news, that after the greater part of the
Austrian army had quitted Cronstadt, to go in pursuit
of the Tzeklas, the hordes of Bem, as if they had
fallen from the sky or issued out of the bowels of the
earth, appeared under the walls of Cronstadt.
Prince OaLorr arrived at Vienna on the 10th from
the head-quarters of PASKIEWITCH : he brought the
intelligence of the rout of PASKIEWITCH'S army by
GEORGEY. No bulletin had been published, and the
Imperialists in Vienna were in a state of panic. The
communications between Pesth and Vienna are
entirely cut off by the Magyars, who, it was ru-
moured, had retaken Pesth and Buda. The army of
HAYNAII, even if he should have effected his junction
with JELLACRICII, is now completely isolated.
