THE NORTHERN STATES.

The twenty-sixth bulletin of Prince WINDISCH-
GRITZ has been published, from which it would seem
that he himself commanded in person in a desperate
action with the Hungarians, which lasted two days.
It is as follows :

" The Field-Marshal, having pitched his head-quarters
at Gyougyos on the 25th February, directed General
Schltek, who had arrived the same day at Petervasara,
to join the main army on the 26th, by way of Verpeleth,
in order to attack the insurgents with our united
strength.
" On the 26th, Field Marshal Lieutenant Wrbna's co-
lumn advanced upon Gyougyos towards Capolua; that
of Field-Marshal Lieutenant Prince Schwarsenburg from
Arsk-Szallas to Kaal. At two o'clock both these columns
encountered the left wing of the enemy before Kaal, an
hour's march from Capolua. who had got possession of
the wood between Kaal and Kompolt, their line of posi-
tion strething into the high road leading from Gyougyos
to Kapolua. On hearing the first cannot-shot from
Schwarzenburg's column, Wrbna bore down upon the
enemy, who were in great force. At first the foe showed
a wish to menace our left flank from a wooded eminence.
crowned by two o their battalions. Here they were
disappointed, a bold bayonet charge, made by a company
of the 6th Jager battalion, under Captain Feldegg, sup-
ported by two companies of Archduke Stephen, driving
them away from this important point, which was imitate
diately occupied by our Teen. Major Salis received a
wound from an exploded grenade. The hostile cavalry
then tried to force our centre, by dashing through the
two columns, but four squadrons of Civillart's lancers
coming up, after dispersing an infantry battalion,
courageously faced the enemy, and succeeded in making
head against them. In this they were assisted by a de-
tachment of light horse, who, with order and precision,
attacked a hussar division. We lost in this affair Lieute-
nant Wit ssenthurm and six lancers; thirty-five were
wounded. Of the enemy sixty lay either dead or
wounded on the field. The foe then retired from all
points, pursued by our men as far as Kipolua and Kaal,
till night set in.
" General Count Schlick was prevented from push .ng
forward to Verpeleth, on the 26th, as he found tne nar-

affording great advantages for defence. This he effected,
and, before dark, had thrown his corps into the defile.
"Early in the morning of the 27th the Field-Marshal
gave orders for carrying on the attack, the continual
platoon firing on his left giving notice of the approach
of Count Sehliek. This general drove the enemy be
fore him on to Verpeleth, which place they occupied,
and stoutly defended. The brigade Kriegern, hewever,
soon took the village. The 2d battalion of Latour in-
fantry dietinguiehect themselves highly on this occasion,
and the foe withdrew in haste to the heights. A detach-
ment was thrown into the mountain hollows, in the di-
rection of Erlau, but the greater part turned to its centre,
which, broken at Kapolua by the brigade Wyss, re-
treated on the Musisolez road. The adversary seemed
to estimate highly the possession of Kapolua, and tried
twice to recover it. Not being able to displace the nume-
rous and well appointed artillery of the brigade Wyss,
arid as Cotloredu s had advanced forward through the
village of Dobro, threatening the enemy's right flank,
they made all speed to retire over the heights. General
Prince Schwatzenburg advanced t n the right Is ing to
Kaal, and took the village by storm.
" The wavering forces of the insurgents, who were
well supplied with artillery, drew off to a position at

the Kapolua,
even-
ing rendered a halt necessary.
"In these two days we had everywhere to do with the
chief force of the rebels; but the good spirit and bravery
of the troops, the able dispositions of the generals in
command, and the effective fire of our intrepid gunners,
compensated for deficiency in numbers. At the taking
of Kapolua, the battalion of Zanini infantry that had
deserted,their colours at Essegg, were made prisoners.
The list of killed and wounded cannot be given with any
accuracy, the reports not yet having arrived from the
different points. The enemy may have lost some 200 or
300 in killed, besides the 900 prisoners, among which
- were fifteen officers.
It will be seen from this that Prince WIN -
DISCHURAT2 claims a victory. Other accounts, how-
ever, of this battle do not represent it as being so
favourable to the cause of the Imperialists. It is
also said that 'WINDISCHGRATX has been defeated in
a battle near Asad, where Count ERBACK, his Aide-
de-Camp, and Count MONTECUCOLI, an officer of his
staff, were made prisoners. Certain it is that both
ERBACK and MONTECUCOLI have arrived at Debricsin.
In this battle 200 men of the regiment of Leisainger
passed over to the Hungarians. The Austrian
Field-Marshal ERNEST DE KIS has also
quitted the Imperialists, and has arrived at
Debricsin to offer his services to KOSSUTH.
The army of General SCHLICK has been nearly de-
stroyed near Tokay by the Hungarians. BEst is
still victorious in Transylvania • he has again de
feated PUCHNEH, and has taken Hermanstadt by
storm, in spite of its Russian garrison. PUCHNEB is
retiring on Temeswar, and BEM is in full pursuit of
him. In his late action BEM was wounded in the
hand, and has had three fingers amputated. The
Breslau Gazette says " there are no traces of the
Russians now to be discovered in Transylvania. At
Debricsin, the decisive victory of BEM, of the 20th
February, was celebrated by a Te Deum and the
firing of salutes. We have received from Pesth
authentic intelligence that WINDISCHGRATZ was de-
feated on the 26th February, near Zebachaza, and
that everything is prepared at Buda for an immediate
retreat. The pontoon equipage has been already
sent to Raab, and the park of artillery has been
brought back to Buda. It is said that 2,000 Croa-
tians have gone over to the Hungarians." WINDIsCu-
GRATE has put a sudden stop to the military execu-
tions in consequence of his having received from
KOSSUTH an intimation that the Hungarians would
make reprisals on the Austrian officers who were
prisoners.
It is said that in consequence of the troubles in
Cracow the Russians had entered that city, and had
also taken possession of the whole of I3ochnia.
