THE NORTHERN STATES

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The general impression at Vienna is, that gold has
had more to do than steel with the surrender of
GEORGEY, and the fact that he insisted on surrendering
to the Russians alone seems to corroborate this supposi-
tion. Gen. GEORGET surrendered not to the ally of the
Emperor of AUSTRIA, but to the proprietor of the gold
mines of the Ural mountains. KOSSUTH and BEM
have fled to Belgrade. ARAD has surrendered to the
Austrians', in obedience to the commands of GEORGET,
who has Also aid d_ the garrizono of Pctri vvardein
and Comorn to lay down their arms. It is, however,
very doubtful whether KLAPKA will be inclined to
follow GEORGEY'S example.
The Austrians have possession of Raab, but it does
not appear that a regular direct communication has
been yet re-established with Pesth. The Magyars
still maintain their ground in the Schutt, and their
outposts are in Bos. General CZORICH was in Pres-
burg on the 16th, and the battalions sent suddenly
into the Schutt defiled before him. These troops,
however, were presently countermanded, and sent
to Raab. _ _

An official report of the Bth, from Colonel Dorsner,
who is at Hermannstadt, gives u 3 the particulars of
what has taken place in the south-west of Transyl-
vania since the 4th, on which date General Luders was
at Galfalva. After Bern's defeat at Schassburg on the
31st, it was stated that he had retired to Udvarhely.
This was not the case, for during the night of the
2d he proceeded towards Mediash (Medgyes),
which he reached on the 3d, with a force
of frona 7,000 to 8,000 men, and 17 cannons. Hav-
ing been joined at this place by an auxiliary corps
from Clausenburg, consisting of 4,000 foot, 800
horse, and 12 cannons, he proceeded towards Her-
mannstadt. General Hassfort, who had been left
with six battalions, eight cannons, and 350 Cossacks
to protect Hermannstadt, had gone to Reissmarkt
and Muhlenbach, where he gained the victory
mentioned yesterday over the insurgent General
Stein. All this having been made known to
General Luders by his scouts, he foresaw
that Bern would fall upon Hassfort, probably drive
him into Wallachia, and then take possession of
Hermannstadt. Nothing remained to be done but
to pursue Bern with all speed. Before, however,
Luders could overtake him, he learned that Hassfort'
had actually bean attacked, driven from his posi-
tion, and after a murderous battle in the streets
of Hermannstadt, in which he had many killed
and wounded, had been obliged to retreat to LTal-
mash. On the 6th, at ten A.m., General Luders' army
stood before Hermannstadt. Six battalions of the
enemy, 500 horse, and 18 cannons, occupied the
neigbouring heights, a considerable reserve had
been left in the city, and the remainder of the
army had gone in pursuit of Hassfort. A battle
ensued, which ended in the complete rout of
the Magyars. The Russian cavalry put such
of the fugitives as attempted to resist to the
sword. The enemy, who lost 1,200 prisoners and 14
cannons in this battle, had 600 killed and 500
wounded. The troops which had followed Hassfort
made the best of their way after their routed com-
rades. The Russians, including the loss suffered
by General Hassfort on the sth, had 364 killed
and wounded. The battles of Schassburg and Her-
mannstadt produced a most dispiriting effect upon
the insurgents. Many threw away their arms, and
sought refuge in the woods, while others came over
to the victors. It is evident that immediately after
this defeat Bern must have hurried into the Banat, as
it is certain that he bad the chief command at Te-
mesvar.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
IlAmnunGu, AUG. 21.—Much apprehension has
been entertained here that Prussia would signally re-
quite Hamburgh for the uncalled for insult offered
by some of our citizens to the Prussian troops. A
proclamation has, however, been issued by our Senate
this morning, which is calculated to allay all unne-
cessary apprehension on that ground. The Prussian
Government is resolved to keep the city occupied by
lits troops only till such time as every thing shall be
perfectly regulated for the free and unmolested pas-
sage of
the numerous troops who must necessarily
pass and repass through the city on their way to and
from the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The
Senate animadverts severely and justly on the ano-
maly of a free and independent city like Hamburgh
becoming
the centre of a lawless faction. It as-
serts that the Senate had in no wise oc-
casioned either mediately or immediately the
entrance of the Prussian troops on their occupa-
tion of the city, but that the charge of quartering
them must now necessarily devolve upon the inno-
cent burgher as well as upon those whose culpable
excesses gave rise to that measure on the part of the
Prussian Cabinet. According to letters from Kiel,
and other parts, there is much general indignation
against the Hurnburgbers for their conduct to the
Prussian soldiery, who are in no wise responsible for the
policy of their Government,and whose behaviour where-
ever they have been quartered has been highly com-
mended.
COPENHAGEN, AUG. 18.—All the insurgent pri-
soners of war were, yesterday morning, conveyed to
Allen, for the purpose of being exchanged.
The official report has just been published of the

battle of Frederica. It is a lengthy document of nine
folio pages. The strength of the Danish forces in
that battle is given at 19,404; the reserve, however,
consisting of 3,208 men, did not, for the most part,
take a share in the engagement. The Danes were
therefore two to one of the Schleswig-Holsteins.
The loss of the Danes is given at 258 killed and
1,639 wounded; among whom 25 officers are given
as killed, and 50 wounded, while 30 were taken pri-
soners.—Hamburgh papers, Aug. 21.
