AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA and HUNGARY.

It was rumoured in Vienna on the 14th and 15th
that another sanguinary conflict had taken place be-
tween the Hungarians and the Imperialists near
Comorn, but the issue of it was not known, some
ascribing victory to the Imperialists, others whis-
pering that they had been defeated. Seeing that no
official bulletin has been published on the subject,
there can be but little doubt as to the issue of the
conflict. The Hungarians have gained another bril-
liant victory, the third within the course of a few
days. Of the defeat of LUDERS by BEM, and of the
expulsion of the Russians from Transylvania, there
can be no doubt whatever, and as little of the
defeat of JELLACHICH. PASKEWITCH and Ilivrau
appear to be no more a match for the Magyars than
were WINDISHGRATZ and WELDEN. DEMBINSKI
and GI3ORGEY appear to have completely out-gene-
railed their opponents. They effected their junc-
tion at Gyongyos, as we mentioned yesterday ; and
no doubt immediately afterwards attacked the Im-
perialists in the neighbourhood of Comorn.

_
- In Comorn a white and a black flag are waving on
the battlements, as symbols of the contest for life or
death.

The German papers state that the cholera is raging
fearfully at Coreorn, and then they add the following
description of the sufferings of the Austrians :—" In
the Austrian camp the sickness, too, is greatly on
the increase ; there is a complete series of hospitals,
at various intervals, along the centre line from the
head-quarters to the capital, and all are filled to over-
flowing. Yesterday no less than 446 sick soldiers
were brought to Vienna."
The prevailing distemper is dysentery, which car-
ries off the greatest number. The number killed in
the Hungarian war by the sword and sickness, to say
nothing of martial law, is incalculable, and many a
stout heart would quail if the list could be laid before
him. Many—very many—also are wounded, maimed,
and incapacitated for life, a burden to themselves and
others. And who can estimate the misery and woe
brought into the families of the deceased—the nume-
rous widows and fatherless children, the bereaved
mothers and afflicted sisters ? And when will all this
end ? How much human blood must be spilt, how
many hundreds, nay thousands, more victims must be
offered ere the sword shall rest in the scabbard, and
peace flourish in ,the land! The mysterious future
alone can tell. The armies of Russia once set in
motion are not likely to retrace their steps quietly
into their own land, and after the fall of Comorn, and
the settlement of the state of things in Hungary,
whither will they wend their way ?
The Russians were to enter Pesth on the 15th.
They dispatched two detachments, one to Moor and
the other to Bitske, to establish communications with
the Austrian army of the Danube.
The defeat of JELLAcnicir and OTTINGEU by the
Magyars took place on the sth.
As the Ban JELLACHICII lately demanded, by a
flag of truce, the garrison of Peterwardein to sur-
render, the commander of the garrison replied—" lie
knew well how affairs stood, and that the so called
Ban of Croatia would soon find himself surrounded,
and with his whole army he destroyed."
