SWITZERLAND.

Letters from Berne, of the 2d inst., announce the
opening of the session extraordinary of the Federal
Assembly on the preceding day. It approved unani-
mously of the levy of troops which had been made.
The question of the refugees was referred to a Com-
mittee of seven members. General DuFouß was
to be sworn in as Commander-in-Chief on the follow-
ing day. _ _ _

11/lAm- rAm, the late Roman Minister, has arrived
at Geneva, where, it is said, M. LEDRU ROLLIN is
expected.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

All accounts from the seat of war confirm the
intelligence of the successes of the Hungarians.
The Kaner Zeitung states that the Commander
of the Imperialist garrison of Temesvar, General
KUKORINA, has been killed in the assault by which
the Hungarians carried that place on the 13th ult.
Large quantities of muskets, guns, and ammunition
fell into the hands of the victors.
From accounts in the National Zeitung, it appears
that GEORGEY, after defeating the Russian division
under General SAss, at Jatzo, advanced along the
banks of the Tbeiss to Tokaj, where he took up
positions on the outskirts of the Carpathian moun-
tains, from Loshony to Kashau, This position is
in the rear of the Russian armies, and commands
all the defiles that lead to Gallicia. At Kashau
GEORGEY took possession of the whole baggage of
Prince PASRIEWITCH, of 30,000 Russian uniforms,
and of the depot of arms of the Russian army.
Accounts have been received via Constantinople
from Transylvania. They state that the Russian
army was defeated at Fogarasch by General BEM,
and that the Russian General DICK was severely if
not mortally wounded, and General LUDERS slightly.
In consequence of this defeat the Russian army re-
treated to Kronstadt, and General LUDERS called in
the help of the Austrian corps under General CLAM-
GALLAS. From the same source we learn that the
Russian General FREITAG has made another attempt
to enter Transylvania by the defiles of Oytosh, and
that in this instance, too, he was attacked by BEM,
and driven back into Moldavia.

This account is confirmed by official intelligence
which has been received by the Turkish Government.
OMER PACLIA and FUAD EFFENDI have written
to their Government that General BEM has defeated
the Austro-Russians at Rathenthurn, and the Rus-
sians at Fogaros:; that General Dim is severely
wounded, and that General LUDERS, who himself is
slightly wounded, has called to aid all the regiments
from Wallachia ; that the Russians are starving, be-
cause the Wallachian waggoners arriving at the defile
of Preclial, fearing the ill-treatment of the Russian
soldiers, cut off the ropes which served as traces,
and fled iwth their horses. Forty waggons arrived
at Jassey loaded with wounded Russians, all belong-
ing to the corps d'armee of General FREYTAG, who
was not able to pass the defile of Oystosh, and retired
towards the Bukowina.

The Hungarian garrison of Comorn have made a
successful sally upon Dotish. A detachment of
hussars sallied from the fortress and crossed to the
right bank of the Danube, where :they took Nazv-
Igmand and advanced to Dotish. They obtained
possession of the EMPEROR'S mails that were being
taken from Vienna to Pesth, and by this means
they captured a large sum in silver. The commu-
nication between Vienna and Pesth has since been
interrupted. . _ . .

The 'Wiener Zeitung, of the Ist, statesthat HAY-
NAU has entered Kecksemet, which had been pre-
viously evacuated by PERCZEL, who had re-
treated to Felegyhaza at the head of 40,000 men,
with 48 pieces of cannon. SCHLICK'S division has
marched to reinforce HAYNAU. This division will
suffer from the want of water in its way to Szeze-
din, as the Magyars have filled up all the
wells as they retreated; and large guerilla
bands of Honveds now hover round the various
Imperial armies, and cut off their supplies of bread
and oats. Several bands of Honved Guerillas will be
in close attendance on Marshal SCHLICK during his
progress. An outbreak against the Government of
the BAN is expected in Croatia and Sclavonia.

The Jews of Buda have demanded that their pro.
perty shall be valued, in order to prove that the con-
tribution imposed on them by General HATNAu will
absorb all they have. They have announced their
intention of proceeding to the United States. At
Pesth and Buda provisions are extraordinarily dear :
a pound of coffee costs from 3fl. to 4fl; a pound of
sugar from 4fi. to sfl. ; a potato 18c. to 20c. The
cholera also continues to make great ravages.

BALLOON ASCENT AT Coax.—As the first gun an-
nounced the approach of her Majesty to our city, Mrs.
Hampton, who had caused three beautifully decorated
balloons to be constructed and inflated for the occasion,
bearing in decorated letters the words " Victoria, " Al.
bert," and " Prince of Walk s," gave the signal to let go,
when the balloons ascended steadily and gracefully amid
the acclamations of the several hundreds who witnessed
the ascent. The feature was one of the prettiest in the
day's proceedings —Cork Examiner.
