AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Presse of Vienna states, on the authority of a
letter from St. Petersburgh, that the Russian Minibter
of Finance has requested the house of ROTHSCHILD
to raise a loan of 30,000,000 silver roubles.

A letter from Vienna of the 31st ult. states that
preparations were being made at the Imperial Palace
for the reception of the Emperor of RUSSIA.
Some of the Vienna juurnals of the 31st ult. state
that the Hungarians have emissaries in several Aus-
trian provinces, ready at a proper opportunity to
cause a republican movement. Several districts in
Moravia have been declared in a state of siege.
The Magyar Government has established revolu-
tionary commissaries, with full powers, in the comi-
tats threatened by the enemy. In the districts dis-
tant from the seat of war regular tribunals and admi-
nistrative institutions are being organised. The
clergy of the different creeds are everywhere preach-
ing a crusade against the Russians.
From the seat of war in the west the rumour which
prevailed on the 21st ult. of a battle at Trentschin
has been confirmed. The Austrian troops engaged
consisted of the corps of VOGEL and the brigade of
BENEDEK ; while the Hungarian forces were the ad-
vanced guard under General DANNENI3ERG. The
Austrians were put to flight, and were pursued down
the Waag-thal by the Hungarian hussars, who made
fearful havoc among the fugitives. A battle is also
reported to have taken place at Raab.
BEM has reached Orsowa,
to the Servians. and issued a proclamation
The news, therefore, that the
Russians had reached Orsowa on the 14th is, as we
surmised, untrue.
The news is confirmed that a large part of the
Russian troops in
Wallachia and Moldavia had re-
tired across the Pruth. The Vienna press, not
knowing what to make of this backward move of the
great ally, ascribes it one while to a protest of the
Porte, another to an energetic note from England or
France.

A rumour prevailed that the Russians had been
defeated by DEMBINSKI at Jordanow. It was added
that the routed army lost all their baggage.
The cholera makes daily greater ravages among the
Austrian troops in Hungary. It bas broken out at
Erlau.

On the 17th ult., two Sardinian delegates were pre-
sented to KOSSUTH at Debreczin. These had indeed
no official character, but were commissioned by their
Government to pave the way to an alliance and com-
mercial counExion between the two countries. They
pointed out especially how useful the Sardinian fleet
might prove to the Hungarians on the Adriatic, if

the Magyars should succeed in extending the rebellion
to Fiume.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Schleswig-Holstein troops continue to work at
throning up the fortifications around Frederica,
which is daily bombarded. Some Danes, who were
taken prisoners by the Germans, assert that the
fortress muA have surrendered long since if it had
been attack d by the imperial troops, but that the
defenders considered it tar too humiliating to sur-
render to the insurgents. All the male population of
Frederica was compelled to remain there; the women
and children only were taken to Fuhnen.
The latest intelligence from Stockholm, May 29,
states that orders have been sent to Marls-Krone for
the speedy equipment of several large ships of
the line, independently of the flotilla which is to be
ready to run out to sea in the course of June. How
far this may be connected with the Russian squad-
ron, which is to sail at the same time for Alsen, is
uncertain.

It appears that Denmark is at this moment in a
fresh dilemma. The report has been current at Co-
penhagen within the last few days that the KING
refused to sign the new liberal fundamental law be-
fore the termination of the war. The disturbance
which this delay on the part of the KING will probably
occasion can scarcely be calculated. People attribute
it to _Russian machinations, and connect it with the ex-
p€ cted arrival of the GRAND DUKE, the heir apparent,
for whose reception the necessary preparations are
being made at Christianborg, as well as at Frederiks-
batg.
