AUSTRIA.

WELDaN has issued the following proclamation to
the army of Hurgary
:
"I am ordered by his Majeaty to take the command
of the army in Hungary. I will do all I can to make
myself worthy of the Emperor's confidence. I come
confidingly among you, my brave comrades. I can
do nothing without you. I must rely on the intelli-
gence, the moderation, and the resoluticn of the
leaders—on the gallantry and the unbounded devotion
of the officers and the men. But whom do I ad-
dress? Are not you Austrians, gallant soldiers—faithful
in tribulation and in death? Are you not, from the Ti-
cino to the Danube, always the same heroes, the admira-
tion of the world. who have saved the monarchy by their
heart's blood? You cannot but conquer or die 1 We
fight for a just cause, and Heaven will assist us ! Lo 1
those that oppose us are but villanous miscreants, the
scum of all people, the deceivers of nations, which they
sacrificed to their egotistical intrigues, and who have
turned this blessed country into a plaything for venal
Poles, and into a desert I Well, then, with them let it
be war to the knife, but once more we will
offer the hand of friendship to our err-
ing brethren. Hitherto the war in Hungary could
not have that success which our sublime leader wished
it to have, for the extent of the country and the nume-
rous places which we had to hold weakened our forces,
w bile the enemy could operate in all directions, and
while eve rywhere false traitors were found, who favoured
their bad cause. They did not scruple at any means,
and by rapine and murder they pressed even the most
peaceable into their abhorred service.
" We, whose dealings are Equitable and just, are en-
gaged in an unequal warfare, but we are most sure to
conquer, for we stake our lives and (what is more) cur
honour. Onward, my brave comrades! let this be our
motto!"

The Cologne Gazette publishes the report of
General DIMBINKI to KOSSUTH, dated Godollo, 7th
April. After alluding to a certain battle at Erlau (of
which no menticn whatever hai been made in the
Austrian bulletins), General DEMBINSKI de-tribes
the retreat of the Austrian army from Gyungyos to
I'esth, and states that the Imperial rear-guard at-
tempted at Gyongyos to protect the flight of the
Austrian army, but that the first attack of the
Magyar troops threw it upon the bulk of that army,
and that 16 pieces of artillery, 2 standards, 21
waggons of ammunition, and 1,200 prisoners, were
taken by the Hungarians. Another battle took place
at Godollo on the 6th inst., in which 8 Austrian
battalions, for the post part Croats, were rented,

and 26 cannons, 7 stAndards, 38 waggons or rrn-
munition, ane- 3;200 prisoners were captured. Ge-
neral DEASEENSICI states the loss of the Aus-
trians in killed and wounded at 6,000, and that of
his own party at 2,000. This battle at Godollo is
mentioned in the Austrian bulletins as one of the
"splendid successes" of Prince WINDISCHGRATZ in
which he had but two men killed. _Nothing, indeed,
can be more contradictory than the assertions of the
two belligerent generals ; but the greater truth of
DEmurNsxr's statement is simivly shown by the re-
sults. The end of the Prince's "reconnoitering ex-
peditions" and "splendid successes" is the expedi-
tious arrival of the Imperial army on the Plain of
Rakosh, in front of Pesth, its retreat over the Danube,
and its threat of bombarding the city of Pesth.
_ _

It was rumoured at Vienna that the Austrians had
retaken Waitzen ; but as no bulletin has been pub-
lished the rumour was not credited.

Another Magyar army has appeared in the south
of Pesth. The Hungarians have of late been equally
successful in Slowakia, in the Banat, and in 'Tran-
sylvania. It is now evident that the Russians, since
their late expulsion from Transylvania, have again
endeavoured to enter that province by the defiles of
Rothenthurm. They were again repulsed by the
Hungarians, who drove them sixteen miles into the
interior of the principality.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Germans have erected heavy batteries on the
heights of Duppel, for the purpose of bombarding the
Island of Alsen.

TURKEY.

Letters from Constantinople of the sth instant
announce the death of the celebrated HussEiN
the Governor of Widin. The SULTAN remains firm
in his refusal to consent to the seven years treaty
with Russia.
