GALICIA.—LEMBBRG, Aram 18.—Between the 12th
and 14th of this month, eight complete battalions of in-
fantry, 2,000 cavalry, and 4 batteries of artillery have
gone away from various parts of Galicia in forced
marches towards Hungary, the infantry being con-
veyed alternately on carriages and marching a day.
The commanding general, Baron von Hammerstein,
proceeds himself immediately with a further foroe of
six battalions of infantry, 1,200 cavalry, and three
batteries of guns, besides two rocket batteries. Near
Brody are station 40,000 ; near Tomaschan 35,000 ;
and near Cracau 50,000 (some accounts only give
the strength of this corps at 25,000 men, with 30
pieces of cannon) Russian troops on the frontiers,
with orders to obey the instructions of the Austrian
military commanders to advance into the Austrian
territory when required.
It is reported that $O,OOO Russians have at this
moment entered into Hungary at various points.
Napoleon said at St. Helena that within 50 years the
Russians would overrun all Germany. The fulfil-
ment pf, his. prophecy, has commenced.
It was stated in Vienna that Russia would send
into Austria 150,000 man, of whom 20,000 will be
stationed in the neighbourhood of Vienna. Prussia
has, it is said, consented to this Russian intervention,
and has agreed to concentrate an army in the Grand
Duchy of Posen to assist the Austrians and Russians
in case of an outbreak in Poland.

' The following army bulletin was published at
Vienna on the 29th. It says :
" That the enemy at three o'clock in the morning
opened a heavy fire from their entrenchments upon the
troops round Comorn, and as the day dawned they de-,
veloped a considerable force, which this fire covered.
" General Simunich's division then took the vineyards
on the Sandberg, at the point of the bayonet. The bri-
gade Liebler forced the enemy to stand, while the Mon-
tennovo brigade attacked them in flank and rear, and
under Colonel Kiesslinger, of Auersberg cuirassiers,
supported by a rocket battery, came off with flying
colours.
" All of the enemy's batteries hung fire and drew off,
and six divisions of, hussars were routed. The Auers-
berg cuirassiers and Civillart lancers charged two hussar
divisions, and two honved battalions, with such ♦igour,
that the latter were completely massacred. Colonel
Kiesslinger and two cavalry captains were wounded on
this occasion.
" The foe was beaten at all points, and fell back under
cover of the guns of the fortress.
