It would appear as though the thirst for blood of
the barbarian soldier, into whose hands the fate of

the unfortunate Viennese is committed, increased
with indulgence. WELD EN, on the first inst., issued
a proclamation, calling upon all the inhabitants to
deliver up all their arms sad ammunition within 48
hours, after which time a search would be made of
suspected houses, and all persons in whose possession
arms were found would be shot ; while fines varying
from 20,000 florins to 1,000 florins would be inflicted
on the municipality in which such houses are
situated. Our readers will not be surprised to hear
that on the evening on which this proclamation ap-
peared two officers were shot in the streets. It would
really seem as though WELDEN and WINDISC HG RATE
were deliberately endeavouring to provoke the Viennese
to some outbreak in order that they may have an op-
portunity of renewing the massacres of November.
According to the correspondence of some of the
French papers, a military officer of high rank was
brought to Schonbrunn from Hungary on the Ist
in,t. dangerously wounded. The greatest mystery is
observedevidentidentity, from the great precautions
taken to o ankeep to
it
o hisn
the
but that he is in a dan-
gerous
neighbourhood of Schonbrunn
perfectly free from noise. He has been is
ne
dan-
gerously wounded, it .is said, by a shot,
c
fired "not from the enemy," and the rumour
in Vienna is, that the officer thus wounded is no less
a personage than WINDISCHGRATZ himself. Certain
it is that the whereabouts of Wirsialscria RAW has not
for some days past been accurately known, and that
his sudden return from Klo to resth on the 26th
seems absolutely without a motive, unless, indeed,
he had been wounded.

The Diet at Kremsier passed on the 31st ult. the
fifth paragraph of the fundamental sights. It runs
thus :—" Domestic rights are inviolable. The right
of house visitation, search, and detention of papers,
is inadmissible, except on the strength of a judicial
order or a magisterial warrant, legally executed, and
in certain cases determined by law. The inviolabi-
lity of private dwellings is no obstacle to the arrest
of an individual caught in the fact or pursued by a
lawful officer."
The fbllowing bullvtin from the army of Hungary
has been published by WELDEN :--
"The rebels under Bea), who had penetrated into
Transylvania, were (as before stated) driven back to
Watra Verna, and still further by Colonel Urban and
the contingent troops of Field .Marshal Lieutenant Mal-
kowsky, collected at Czernowitz. Seeing the impossi-
bility of making a stand in the Bukovina; and reinforced
by a rebellious band of Szeklers, they turned towards
Clausenburg and Ilermannstadt, arriving at the latter
town on the 21st at daybreak. As early as seven o'clock
in the morning the enemy
was in his position, within
gunshot, and our pieces in advance opened the fire upon
the adversary's attacking column, four times greater
than our own. This was returned in such style from
six and twelve-pounder batteries on our entrenchments,
and the artillery flanking these, that Field-Marshal
Lieut. Puckner commanded'the charge to be made at the
point of the bayonet. Our assailing column and a
Squadron of Savoy dragoons advanced under cover of
these guns, driving the enemy from his first position;
upon which the battle extended through the whole line.
" The left and right wings were formed by the bri-
gades under Lieutenant-Colonel Losenau and Kaliany;
the centre was commanded by General Puckner in
person.
" After successive charges of cavalry and bayonet at-
tacks, the enemy was forced to retreat, pursued by the
brigade of Losenau as far as Stolzenberg.
" Five heavy guns, four ammunition cart 3, arms of all
kinds, provisions, and many prisoners, are the trophies
of our victory. We have to lament the loss of Captzins
Braunmuller and Papp.
" Stolzenberg was attacked on the 22d instant, by
the corps of General Gedeen, in co-operation with that
of Puckner.

" The various insurgent divisions are being driven
from the upper and lower countries towards Debrecsin,
where the remnant of the Hungarian Diet strives to hold
on its illegal course. One of these divisions came before
Arad, which fortress was besieged on the 26th, but
without the slightest success.
"After the taking of Versecz on the 26th, the Pa-
triarch Rajacsics, General Thodorovich, and Colonel
Mayerhofer, met at Temesvar, whence they proceeded
in field career on to Debrecsin and Transylvania.
"How these statements tally with the fibs in daily
circulation—that Pesth is again in rebel hands, or, ac-
cording to others, that the enemy is before th© gates of
that capital—let the public decide.
