AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Accounts from Vienna, of the 2d of May, state
that intelligence had reached that city that BEM had
taken the city of Temeswar.

The Prager Zeitung publishes the following ac-
count of the defeat of WELIDEN and WonLaemurrn
by the Magyars. It is dated from Babolna :
" Baron Welden has a strong position here. Imme-
diately on taking the chief command, he determined
upon posting himself at this pl see. The Imperial troops
in their encsmpments before Pesth, in the form of a
crescent, were exposed to the esutinual incursions of
the Magyars. 'tiv'elden conceived the plan of rescuing
the army, coutc gui ceute, m the perilous position
which they had held for ten days. Ile had con-
vineed himself that no offensive operations could be
set on foot from Peath and Buda in less than a fort
night, in which time he hoped to get all his rein
forcements together, and as he had ascertained that
General Dembinski was enly welting for Bern's 30,000
men to break through the Imperial atiey, cross Oe
Danube, raise the sii ge of Comorn, and cut us off from
Buda-Pesth, the object of the Commander-in-Chief was
to foil this plan. He, therefore, reede the following
dispositions:—Jellachich with his corps, forming the
right flank of the army, he commissioned to Southern
Hungary, with a view of enlisting as many Selavonians
as possible in his service. Wohlgemuth, with bisl4,Coo
men, 2,000 horse, and twenty feur guns stationed on
the right Gran blnk, he ordered to observe a strict de-
fensive, to wait for General Benedsk's troops, that
were coming up from Jablunka; in case of attack, to
retreat on the Wear, and there draw fresh succours.
The centre of the army Walen led himself to the
Raab, likewise to await his reinforcements. He re-
solved to keep Buda, and continue the siege of Comorn,
only in case these dispositions should succeed, and the
enemy prevented crossing the Daaube. Dembinski
becoming acquainted with this, was obliged to change
or give up his bunly-sketched design, without waiting
for Bem to come. up, who probably joined him between
the 23d and 25th of April, he ordered Gorgey to attack
Wohlgemuth. This was done with 7,000 Honvcds, 36
squadrons of Hussars, and 42 well-appointed guns.
These settled the business. The infantry brigades of
Wohlgemuth were continually ripped up with these
heavy guns, while the Hussars made diversions to the
right and left. After an engagement of seventeen hours
in the rain, the troops contrived, with unparalleled exer-
tions, to reach the left bank of the Gran, and there
plant themselves advantageously."
It is considered probzble that the Bohetnians will

•
make common cause with the Magyars.
The Wiener Zeitung comments upon the progress
of the peace negotiations at Milan, and declares the
following to be the true version of the case :
" On the arrival at Milan. April 13, of the Plenipo-
tentiaries from the Court of Turin, the Austrian Minister
von Bruck, who had previous'y ri aehed that city, m tele
two proposals—naceely, the full acknowledgment on the
part of Sardinia of the territorial boundaries stipulated
by treaty and still existing, and the liquidation of the
expers:s of the double war unjustly forced upon
Austria. At first no impediment was eff.;red to the
fulfihnent of th( se conditions. The amount of the
compensation sum, hoe ever, named by the Austrian
envoy, was found to be enormous, and the Sardinian
negotiators pleaded the inability of their Government
to
comply with tho--ie demands, a ithout, at the same time,
making any Other overtures which might lead to aeompro-
misc. but falling back upon the sigh.. of appeal to France
and England. Against this interference of a third party
in a negotiation, which Sardinia. in the first article of the
truce had bound herself instantly to conform to, the
Austrian Envoy felt it his dute to protest. Nevertheless,
the Ministry, with a view to facilitate in every possible
manner the conclusion of peace, authorised their Pleni-
notentiery to abate his el ,urns so far as shoull be deemed
compa'it,le with the interest of the State and the respon-
sibility of the Cabinet. In the meantime Sardinia had
earnestly entreated to be released from the conditions of
Art. 3, by virtue of which one half of the garrison at Alees-
andria was to be furnished by the empire. The Austrian
Minister took upon himself to grant a delay in the fulfil-
ment of this article, in the confident expectation that
the Sardian Government, out of gratitude, would em-
ploy the interval in coming to a proper understanding
with Austria. As the allotted period elapsed without
any decided answer being given by that Government to
the treaty of peace drawn up and submitted to their in-
spection, nor any fresh proposals emanating from them,
Herr von Bruck did not consider himself justified in
longer dela) ing the observance of the third article. The
23d was, therefore, fixed by the military authorities
for the entrance of the Austrian contingent, appointed to
make up the garrison of the fort Alessandria. On the
morning of that day the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries
declared, that since the Imperial Government insisted on
the fulfilment of that article, they were instructed by
their Government to desist from the peaete negotiations
for the present, although these were not, on that ac-
count, to be considered as broken off. They then with-
drew from Milan, where the Minister Bruck still re-
mains."
The .Hamburgh Borsenhalle has, under the head
Posen, May 1, the following relating to the entry by
the Russians into Austria
" The Russian army has marched from Poland to the
south. The large encampment at Kirchdorf, which was
formed et such an immense expense, has not only been
evacuated by the troops, but it is to be wholly broken
up. The troops, who have for the last fortnight been
stationed in Kalisch, have received orders which made
them break up suddenly, and proceed by forced marches
to Cracow.
" Even tho main body, under General Rudiger,
which has hitherto been stationed in Warsaw and
its environs, has left suddenly for Cracow, leaving
only au arriere guard of about 12,000 men, in a hastily-
arranged encampment in Lowiez; The garrison of the
capital has been replaced by some regiments from Mod-
lin sad the other fortresses of the country, and now lie
either in the citadel of Warsaw or bivouac in the prin-
cipal squares of the city.
Several regiments of the St. Petersburgh Guards are,
however, expected here. The Emperor Nicholas was
expected at Warsaw from Moscow. The palace of Ka-
lisch has been prepared for his Majesty, who, it is said,
intended going by Kalisch and Breslau to 011mutz, to
visit the Emperor of Austria.
The Russian troops will enter Prussia and be con-
veyed by rail into the Austrian dominions.
