AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, DEC. 28.—Count Welden has just re-
ceived an army bulletin from Field-Marshal Berger,
from which it appears that General Puchner, coming
from Hermanstadt, and Field-Marshal Rucliawina
from Temesuar, succeeded in joining the army
under Count Leinengen, from Tranllvannia, and
Lieut. Berger Bierlei at Alias. These combined
forces succeeded, after an attack which lasted several
hours, in surrounding the fortress of Arad, which was
defended by 15,000 men. After an obstinate resis-
tance, in which the fortress and city sustained great
damage, the garrison was put to flight, with the loss
of many dead, and above 200 prisoners.
The Imperial troops are still stationed at half a
league distance from Raab; they have been every-
where received gladly by the inhabitants, and are
prepared for winter cantonments. More of the troops
are compelled to bivouac by night. The various
corps :darmee intend making a junction of their
forces prior to an ulterior attack.
The Wiener Zeitung says, " In reference to Venice
the following has been inserted in the Gazetta :
"' The Government, by a decree of the 30th De-
cember, has commanded that the Romish division
which is on military duty here shall be sent home.
The poverty of the Exchequer is not the sole cause of
this measure, for the unfortunate auxiliary troops are
perishing from the Lagan fever, and the air of their
native island can alone save those who are suffering.' "
VIENNA, Dac. 27.—The Wiener Zeitung of this
day contains the state of the Exchequer for the
month of October, 1848. The results are, current
receipts, 6,649,273 fl. ; of these, the principal are
direct,taxes, 2,071,134 fl.; indirect taxes, 3,957,158 fl.;
other receipts, 620,981 fl. The current expenditure
amounted to 11,376,923 fl., which, after deducting
the receipts of 6,649,2T3 fl., leaves a deficit of
4,727,650 fl. This deficit is occasioned chiefly by
the non-payment of the usual receipts from Lom-
bardy, Venice, Hungary, and Transylvania, which
are estimated at 4,969,000 fl. _ .

According to the fifth bulletin from Prince Win-
dischgratz, the Imperial troops had 15 killed and
wounded. Among the former was Lieut.-Colonel
Hailez. Sixteen of the enemy's artillery deserted to
us. The Imperial troops also took four howitzers and
a 12-pounder. The taking of the fortress of Orad is
of immense importance ; it is now ocoupied by the
Imperial troops, and furnished with provisions sup-
plied for six months. High commendation is given
to the valorous conduct of the troops.
It is a remarkable and interesting fact, that while
the Austrian troops are subduing Hungary, and while
the most deadly hatred and ferocious warfare is
raging between the Hungarians and Transylvanians,
a deputation of Hungarians and Transylvanians,
resident in Vienna, hare waited upon the Emperor at
011mutz, in order to pay their homage to him.—

Urban drove the Magyars all through LAcbcuhurgen
to the Hungarian frontier, near Nagy Banya. He
found that the Magyars had burned all the Romani,

bulletin states that Colonel U b ' r an s party killed
150 Hungarians and captured 60. After pursuing
the enemy to the frontiers of
Siebenburgen, Colonel
Urban returned to Klausenburg by forced marches.
No reason is stated for his doing
so. All this hap-
