AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Advices have been received from Vienna to the 25th.
DEMBINSKI and GEORGEY have gained another vic-
tory. It will be recollected that in his dispatch de-
tailing the events of the battle of Waitzen, Prince
PASKEIVITCII stated that he had dispatched General
RUDIGER, at the head of a.large body of cavalry, after
GEORGEY, in order to prevent his crossing the Theiss,
and joining the main body of the Hungarian army.
The army of RUDIGER has been defeated, and forced to
fall back upon the main Russo Austrian army under
PASKEWITCH.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 25th says—
" The 3d army corps which pursued the enemy to
Balasse, Gyarmath has been since the 22d in G 3 ongyes."
RuDiGEn, therefore, has been completely beaten.
On the 19th he was 30 miles to the north of Waitzen,
marching northward, and on the 22d he was 40 miles
due west of the same place, with his great force of
cavalry quite stationary, obliged to fall back on
PASKEWITCH'S high road from Pesth to Dukla. The
official paper adds :--
"The further pursuit towards Misltolez has been un-
dertaken by General Siss.,,

Tlle Z itung of the.24th announces that the
---
Wiener
fortress of Arad had been forced on the 20th, in conse-
quence of a total want of provisions, to capitulate to
the Hungarians. The want of provisions is severely
felt by the Imperialist forces everywhere, and it is
said that the situation of the Russo-Austrian army
under PASREWITCII is worse than was that of the
Austrian army under WINDLSCnGRATZ.
The Breslau. Gazette of the 26th inst. says—
" By intelligence from Hungary of the 20th inst. we
learn that Georgey and Dembinski have joined their
forces in the -rear of Prince Paskewiteh. The
Russans lost six thousand killed and wounded
in the affair of Waitr:n. The battle lastei two days.
There were 120 peces of ordnance in the. field. The
second day the rear guard of Georgey made a terrible
resistance. The Austro.Russian army is surrounded in
the cebtre of Hungary. Klapka defends Acs; Georgey
and Dembinski, with 80,000 men, defend from Ypolsak
to T6kay, Ucsay, and Guyon. Three corps of the
Hungarian army are beyond the Theiss, near Sznolnok
and Pestb. They have been compelled to turn nearly
all the churches and public edifices into hospitals for the
wounded Russians."

The Agrarner Zeitung of Semlin, July 18, de-
.,eribes the battle fought between HLYGLS and
Torcm.i as follows:

" As the 13.7. n, on the 14th instant, ordered his troops
to advance at midnight against the enemy, and had dis-
patch'd a brigade against their centre, he was unex
pettedly attacked towards tha morning, on both flanks,
by a vigorous cannonade. The brave Croats, the
men of Piret, and,the Walmoden Cuirassiers, fought with
the courage of lions, but were obliged to give way before
the superior force of the enemy; and there was great
slaughter on both ides.

It is said that .Bem and Fermi. led on their troops in
person. The Ban son perceived the treachery, and
sounded a retreat immediately, iu order that they might
occupy again the positions which they bad before the
entrance into Bacska.

"It is also said that the plans of our army
were betrayed to the enciny by a certain Captain
Georgievie, of a German Banat regiment, who kept up a
correspondence with spies from Belgradp, and Magyars
from Pancova. Ile has been arrested along with a
Llonved officer, and both the traitors will be tried by a
court-martial, and doubtless suffer for their treachery.
One of the authorities in Servia; Demeter Simicb, has
also been arrested. This unhappy man was doubt-
less bribed with Turkish Magyar money, and tried to
seduce the Auitrian military from their allegiance to
their beloved Monarch. The Ban has retired to-day
from Titel, and crossed the Danube to Ruma."
As the Agrainer Zeitung is the organ of the Ban of
CROATIA, the above may be considered as the BAN'S own
account of his defeat by Bent. The article is impor-
tant as proving the existence of a strong feeling in
favour of the Magyar cause even among the Croa-
tians. The fact is, that since the proclamation of
Austrian " unity," in March last, the Croatians, Scla-
vonians, and Dalmatians have become to the full as
dissatisfied with Austria as the Magyars, and as desi-
rous of taking up arms in defence of their threatened
nationalities. They have only been kept down by the
strong arm of JELLACIHCH, and now that, he is de-
feated, we should not be surprised to learn that some
" transaction" had taken place between the Magyars
and the Sclavonians.
