GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

Intelligence bas been received from Vienna to the
I 26th. It was rumoured on the Bourse that the ma-
gazine of Comorn had been blown up by a shell from
the besiegers. It turned out, however, quite the
contrary. There had been, it is true, an explo>ion at
Comorn, but it was an Imperial vessel of transport,
with 300 cwt. of gunpowder, in tow of a steamer from
Presburg downwards, that was blown up by the can-
non fire of the Magyars, who had, a battery on the left
shore of the Danube, opposite GonyZi. Many houses
lin that town had been destroyed by the explosion,
and many lives were lost. The whole line of the Im-
perial troops have now retired to the position of
Raab, their left wing lying still near Comorn, and
sending at intervals some shells into the fortress. All
regiments are to be increased by the addition of one
battalion, each battalion consisting of six companies
of from 150 to 200 men. A complete regiment will
then number above B,OOQ men. The Magyars are
advancing towards Vienna, on the left side of the
Danube ; they were partly arrived at Tyrnau three
days ago. Probably the Imperial army will be
obliged to retire to the Marchfield, near Vienna, as
the only means of resisting the Magyars. The im-
perial troops are entirely disorganized; the sergeants
and officers of most of the companies are new men,
and the leading principle of the whole Austrian army,
that of confidence in their superiors, fails entirely at
this moment.
On the evening of the 25th ult. the following bul-
letin was published by BOHM :
" According to official reports just received the'corps,
composed of six brigades, under Field-Marshal Lieut.
Wublegemutb, occupies the whole terrain' from Sel-
lye, Eperiessy, Nyarazd, and Boc, with its left wing
resting upon the Danube. Nothing new has occurred
on this
" According to several consonant reports, the ' gross'
of Georgey'a corps was advancing in the direction of
Comorn.
" The concentration of the main army on the right
bank of 'he Danube is proceeding without intermission,
and news of decisive import is to be expected shortly
from the scene of war."

Pesth was evacuated by the Imperialists on the
25th ult. BEM has gone to Terneswar, WINDISCII-
GRATZ has arrived at Prague.
We read in the Austrian Lloyds--
" The Russian Legation has informed the Austrian
Government that 50,000 Russian troops have entered
Transylvania in two bodies, the one coming from
Wallachia, and the other from Buckowine.
" POSEN, APRIL 18.—Our eastern frontiers have not
long been relieved from the presence of the Russian
troops, for Kols,! Kanin,: and Kalisch have within the
last few days been again occupied by considerable
forces, and new regiments are daily arriving by forced
marches. The Russian generals have quitted the
frontiers of Lithuania, and are now in Podlachia.
Warsaw, Aldelin, and Zarunoes, the principal
fortresses of the kingdom, have received new garri-
sons, of such immense strength that it is very evident
that the Government expects a new rise i❑ Poland. it
is imposSible to be blind to the fact that the successes
of the Magyars over the Austrians in Hungary has
t provoked a lively agitation among the Poles, as well
in the grand duchy as in the kingdom, and that they
consider the approach of an insurrection very near.
Everywhere there are preparations for war, and it is
said that vast quantities of arms are introduced se-
eretly. It is, therefore, of great moment to Russia that
the war iu Hungary should be quelled as speedily as
possible. It would appear by the vast accumulation of
corn sad other stores, that they are looking forward to
a long struggle. The country people are obliged to de-
liver immense quantities of grain, fur which they receive
treasury bonds payable in 1850.
".PRESEURG, APRIL 2a—No less than five steamers
and several brigs have come up and gone on to Vienna
since noon to-day. All the steamers, instead of lying
to at Vienna, will in future stop at Linz. Three new
steamers and a number of tugs are expected to-day,
and are immediately to proceed to Vienna. They are
all heavily laden, but it is not known what their cargoes
consist of.
" A very bloody engagement must have taken place
at Neuhiisel; on the Wutig. Since noo❑ yesterday, no
less than forty or fifty waggons have arrived here by the
Jyrnan Railway, bearing lamentable proofs of the terri-
ble azcounts received of the battle."
