M. EDGAR. NET, aide-de-camp to the PRESIDENT of
the Republic, left Paris for Rome on Thursday with
dispatches recalling General OUDINOT. General
ROSTOLON will take the command of the troops.

The Putrie says—
" Everybody remarked the absence of the Governor of
the Invaliees (M. Jerome Bonaparte) from the funeral
service of Marshal Molitor, Grand Chancellor of the
Legion of Honour. M. Dupin, President of the Na-
-60/in! Assembly, could not fail to be painfully effected
by it, like all the other persons present. He therefore
thought it right to express his astonishment on this sub-
ject in the following words, addressed to General Petit
on entering the chapel where the brave General received
him:—` General Petit, you are at your post, but the
governor is not, and this is the second time that he has
been absent from the funeral obsequies of marshals.'
Several representatives have reflected on this conduct of
the governor, and have resolved to propose an amend-
ment on the approaching discussion of the budget of
expenditure."
The following resolutions, signed by 80 Members
of the Left, have been laid on the table of the Legis-
lative Assembly :—" The French Republic recognises
the independence and the nationality of Hungary.
The Executive Government will adopt such measures
as are necessary to secure the integrity of the Hun-
garian territory against all foreign intervention and
invasion."
The following are the principal items in the weekly
returns of the Bank of France :

The account continues to mark influx of specie,
the amount of which, 362 millions, in the coffers of
the banks, compared with the amount of notes in
circulation, about 410 millions, must set people at
ease, at all events on the score of security for bank
notes. There is an increase in bills discounted, and
the credit to the Treasury continues to augment, both
favourable signs, so far as they go.
The Siècle says :—" The following note, on which
the Government cannot refuse to give some ex-
planation, has been communicated to us :—' M.
CHARLES BLIND, one of the two diplomatic agents
sent by the insurrectional Government of Baden and
the Palatinate on a mission to the French Govern-
ment, is still a prisoner at La Force. In spite of his
character as diplomatic envoy, it has been sought to
implicate him in the affair of June 13, in order to
colour with a plausible pretext a detention which
would be otherwise unjustifiable. M. BLIND has un-
dergone two interrogatories, the particulars of which
are now in the hands of the Procureur of the Re-
public. It will be impossible, it is affirmed to us, to
bring him to trial, as no fact can be alleged against
him. M. BLIND is nevertheless kept in prison, and
treated with extreme rigour.' "
PARIS BOURSE, AVG. 10.

THREE o'CLocK.—The introduction of the Bill impos-
ing a tax upon income, and one laying a duty on the
transfer of the public funds in certain cases, had an un-
favourable effect on the funds today. Throughout the
day bosh Rentes and Railway Shares were weak. Ex-

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The intelligence which we gave yesterday of the
capture of Raab by the Hungarians is fully confirmed,
and this victory is of even greater importance than
had at first been supposed. The Hungarians have by
the capture of Raab got possession of the whole of
the commissariat stores of the Imperial army, and
have removed them to Comorn, and the armies of
PASKIEWITCH and HAYNAu will be starved before it
will be possible to replace them. A letter from
Presburg, written by a partisan of the Imperialists,
gives the following description of the capture of
Raab :—" So sudden was the approach of the Hun-
garians upon Raab that the Imperialist garrison of
that place was seized with a panic. Their flight was
general and disorderly in the extreme. The fugitive
officers presumed that the cities of Raab and Gorgo
were taken—indeed, there was nothing to prevent the
Hungarians from taking them, and with them an
enormous quantity of stores, the whole commissariat
of the Imperialist army, which had been concentrated
in the two places previous to being sent into the in-
terior to the army of General HATNAu. At Gorgo the
Hungarians must have found two steamers with a
quantity of boats which they were intended to drag.
On the quays were above 80,000 bushels of oats and
enormous quantities of flour, rice, and vinegar, and
?,400 head of cattle—all of which fell into the
hands of the Hungarians. The loss of the Impe-
rialists is estimated at 1,000,000 of florins, but in
reality the loss is much greater, for the lives of the
Imperialist armies in Hungary depended on the safety
of their stores, which cannot now be replaced in time
to be of any use to them. The Hungarians captured
also two companies of foot and six pieces of artillery.
Several troops of Lancers, too, were missing.
The panic inspired by the Hungarians is not con-
fined to the garrison of Raab—it has extended to
Vienna itself. The following letter describes the
been ora
e mutiny among thorn. I understood they
had refused to march until the Emperor sent to say that
they should not be used against the enemy. At length
they consented to do so, but even then the scene was
heartrending,
The poor young fellows moaned and
wept aloud. They cried that to march against the
Hungarians was to go to death. The officers yielded less
to their feelings, but they too parted from their friends
and relations with very evident signs of emotion, and
then hurried the men off. Near the railroad there was
a dense crowd of curious spectators. Here again the
young rift men tarried and bemoaned their fate. They
said, We
are going to bo shot!' and, addressing the
crowd, they cried —' Farewell for ever. We shall never
return!' The officers entreated them to be quiet and re-
signed to their fate. They submitted at length."
It will be seen from the above that the Imperial
army is quite demoralized. What chance of success
can a general have whose troops are, instead of being
inspirited by the thought of glory and the hope of
victory,
"quiet and resigned to their fate ?" Is the
writer speaking
of soldiers marching to battle, or
criminals going
to execution ?
Accounts have been received at Vienna which re•
preseld the state of I 1 AYNAU'S army as desperate; hefinds the difficulties of his march almost insuperable.
There are rumours of his having been forced to fall
back
upon Ketshkemet. His soldiers are stated to
have suffered more than an army ever did. Their
march from Pesth was a weary plodding through the
deep burning sand. The horses and the artillery
could scarcely move along. With the exception of
Ketshkemet they did not find a single village. There
were neither human creatures nor animals. The in-
habitants of those places had wandered away; they had
burnt their villages and Ailed the wells with putrid
