THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Letters from Vienna of the 26th ult. state, that a
courier had arrived from the head-quarters of
CZORICEI with the intelligence of the surrender of
Comorn, which had been entered by GozuLAl, the
Minister of War, on the 25th. As, however, no
official announcement of the intelligence has appeared
in the Wiener Zeitung, we are inclined to consider
it as premature.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th contains the fol-
lowing official report from the head-quarters of
General HAYNAU

" The pursuit, which was undertaken by the third
army corps, the reserve, and Wallmoden's cavalry divi-
sion, has been so completely successful, that at present
the whole of Transylvania and the Banat are
free from the insurgents, with the exception of a
few thousand men of the Polish legion, who
are still roving about between Mehadia and Orshova.
They will, however, speedily be dispersed. On
the 19th 72 cannon, which Vecsey's corps could no longer
get forward, fell into the hands of our troops in the valley
of Thot Vorad, and 100 baggage waggons wore also
taken. After the greater part of this corps had dis-
persed, and Vecsey himself had fled, the remainder, con-
sisting of 7,000 men, 1,000 horses, 4,000 guns, and two
cannon, surrendered to the Russians on the 20th inst.,
near Boros Jeno. The insurgents, commanded by Bern
and Guyon, were so unremittingly pursued, that two
companies of lancers, belonging to the third army
corps, reached Deva on the 18th, where the main
body also arrived on the 19th instant. The advanced
guard of the Russian corps, under General Luders,
had already entered Dere. on the 15th, but as Bem
and Guyon's troops reached that place on the night
of the 17th, the Russians retired. The insurgents
begged General Luders to grant a truce of 24 hours,
which he granted, at the same time summoning them to
surrender at discretion. Hereupon a council of war was
held. Beni, Guyon, and many officers wished to con-
tinue the struggle; but the troops refusing to consent to
this, Bern and Guyon took advantage of the truce to
escape unobserved. They are said to have taken the
direction of Russberg. A conflict thou took place be-
tween the men and officers in the insurgents' camp, the
consequence of which was that the greater part of this
corps, amounting to 8,000 men, surrendered to the
Russians, who sent them, as well as their arms, and
50 cannons, to Hermannstadt. Twenty-four cannons,
which had been left at Deva in the safe keeping of a

Russian battalion, were are at once transferred ro our

third army corps. About 1,000 of the insurgents dispersed
after the flight of their leaders among the mountains on
each side of the Maros, and the remainder, from 4,000 to
5,000 men, among whom were the former Austrian cap-
tains, Hertelengi and Nedetzki, with the reserve squadron
of the Palatinal Hussars, several hundred baggage wag-
gons, and many imperial ammunition waggons, were
taken charge of by the Si army corps, and conducted by
way of Facset to Temeevar. The Hungarians left four
12-pounders and one 2-pounder at Dobra, and a great
quantity of iron and lead ammunition was found lying
about in different places. The Hungarian General, Des-
fewffy' with tiffs suite, surrendered to Lieutenant Field-
Marshal Wallmoden, but Kmety fled in disguise. Thus
within the last few days at Facset, Deva, Dobra, and
Karansebes, not including Georgey's corps, 25,000 men
with 175 cannons have been taken. These successful re-
sults are mainly attributable to the remarkable persever-
ance of the imperial royal troops under Lieut. Field •
Marshal Prince Liechtenstein, who had the command of
the pursuing troops, and to the energetic pursuit of the
3d army corps, under Lieut. Field-Marshal Remberg.
General Liechtenstein makes particular mention of Cap-
tain Medvey (Medway?), of the Archduke Charles
Lighthouse, who showed great judgment as he took
possession f the 72 cannons belonging to Vecsey's corps.
Several chests have been found buried deep in the case-
ments of the fortress of Arad; they contain parts of the
machinery of the steamers and railway engines which
the insurgents carried off when they retreated from
Pesth and Szolnok. The bank-note press has also been
found. The Marshal Prince of Warsaw has placed the
chiefs of the rebels, the former members of the Diet, all
the prisoners, and the whole of the military stores, pro-
visions, and ammunition, at the disposal of the Austrian
troops. Preparations on a great scale have been made
for taking charge of the prisoners and military stores,
and for transporting them to Arad and Temesvar. Im-
mense supplies of all kinds have been found in the for-
tress of Arad, and the desperate confusion and disorder
in which the magazines are prove how great must have
been the panic, and how hurried the flight of the insur-
gents." _ _

- BEM and GUYON have arrived safely in Turkey,
and will most probably proceed to England with
KOSSUTH.

The Claterreichische C.rrespondent contains the
following passages from a letter of Kossurn
:
"It is not the cowardly love of life which has deter-
mined my departure, but the conviction that my pre-
sence is become harmful for the country. At present I
am a simple citizen. I have been to Lagos to see how
things look there, and upon what force we could still
count. I found the corps of Gen. Vecsay in good order;
all the rest on the brink of dissolutiun. I found a total
want of food supplies, which were only procured by re•
quisitiun, a miserable resource, which makes the whole
pQople our enemy. The bank has been transported to

Arad, and is therefore in Georgey's power. . . . If
even the army of Gcorgey were to request me to re-un-
d,rtake the government, if' you were successful in some
operations, and could furnish the army with provisions
without force; lastly, if the bank were able to function,
and at my disposal, under these three conditions I would
undertake the government of the country."
Finally KossuTH recommends that a committee of
representatives of the people should be formed, and
that couriers should be sent to Comorn and Peterwar-
dein, to encourage these fortresses to hold out. In a
postscript he says :
" MM. Zamoiski and Biszoranoraki suggest to me that
it is incumbent on the honour of the Hungarians to so
dispose the application of the Polish and Italian legions
that, while they render important services to the country,
they will, if the worst should befal, escape being sent to
Siberia. I feel this obligation, and at my request Gen.
Guyon disposed them so as to cover the communication
with Turkey through Orsowa; but I learn here that
the General ordered the garrison of Orsowa to Tran-
sylvania. Thus these two battalions will also be lost,
and Orsowa within a few days be in the hands of the
enemy."
The Landtag, or Diet of Lower Austria, according
to report, is to be opened on the Ist of November.
