ing rendered a halt necessary.
"In these two days we had everywhere to do with the
chief force of the rebels; but the good spirit anti bravery
of the troops, the able dispositions of the generals in
Command, and the effective fire of our intrepid gunners,
compensated for deficiency in numbers. At the taking
of Kapolua, the battalion of Zinini infantry that ham
deserted their colours at Essegg, were made prisoners.
The list of killed and wounded cannot be given with a❑y
accuracy, the reports not yet having arrived from the
different points. The enemy may have lost some 200 or
300 in killed, besides the 900 prisoners, among which
were fifteen officers.

It will be seen from this that Prince Wm-
DISCIIGRATZ claims a victory. Other accounts, how-
ever, of this battle du not represent it as being so
favourable to the cause of the Imperialists. It is
also said that WINDISCHGRATZ has been defeated in
a battle near Asad, where Count Eanacx, his Aide•
de-Camp, and Chula MONTECUCOLI, an officer of his
staff, were made prisoners. Certain it is that both
ERDACK and MONTECUCOLI have arrived at Debricsin.
In this battle 200 men of the regiment of Leissinger
passed over to the Hungarians. The Austrian
Field-Marshal ERNEST DB Kis has al.o
quitted the Imperialists, and has arrived at
Debricsin to offer his services to KossUTLI.
The army of General SCULICK has been nearly de-
stroyed near Tokay by the Hungarians. BEM is
still victorious in Transylvania • he has again de
tested Puciman, aid has taken Hermatittadt by
storm, in spite of its Russian garrison. PUCHNER is
retiring on Temeswar, and BEM is in full pursuit of
him. In his late action BEM was wounded in the
hand, and has had three fingers amputated. The
Breslau Gazette says " there are no traces of the
Russians now to be discovered in Transylvania. At
Debricsin, the decisive victory of BEM, of the 20th
February, was celebrated by a Te Deum and the
firing of salutes. We have received from Pes!h
authentic intelligence that WINDISCHGRATZ was de-
feated on the '26th February, near Zebachaza, and
that everything is prepared at Buda for an immediate

retreat. The V pontoon equipage has been •already
sent to Raab, and the park of artillery has been
brought back to Buda. It is said that 2,000 Croa-
thins have gone over to the Hungarians." WlNDiscir-
GRATZ has put a sudden stop to the military execu-
tions in consequence of his having received from
Kossu'rn an intimation that the Hungarians ould
make reprisals on the Austrian officers who were

prisoners.
It is said that in consequence of the troubles in
Cracow the li.u,sians had entered that city, and had
also taken possession of the whole of Bothnia.

FRANKFORT.
In the sitting of the German Parliament on the sth
inst., mention was made of and questions were put
from the Opposition benches relative to another
dii-
patch of the Austrian Government to its Plenipoten-
tiary, Baron ScHMERLING. The contents of this
dispatch, as far as they have
, transpired, are to the
effect that the Austrian Cabinet inclines to a direc
tory of the Confederation ( Bundesdirectorium) in
preference to the form of sovereignty expressed by
the appointment of a Lord-Lieutenant of the Empire
( Reichsstatthalier), and that it declines moving any
further amendment until the second reading of the
Constitution Bill shall have f.
come of
Mr. SimsoN, the President of the German Parlia•
ment, was re-elected to that post. The number of
members present was 368; the number of votes for
Mr. Simsori, 271. Mr. BRESLER, from Schleswig,
was elected Vice-President,

The President of the Imperial Cabinet, Baron
GAGEBN, then informed the House of the impending
cessation of the Alahniie armistice between Germany
and Denmark. He said the Danish Plenipotentiary,
in sending in the documetlt relative to this cessation,
had i❑deed declared it was the King of DENMARK'S
hope that this step would not lead to further hostili-
ties. The Danish Ambassador thought to promote

of peace, by suspending
the conclusion of a treaty
the armistice. Now it was indeed strange to
hear it said of a declaration of war that
it was meant to promote peace, but what was
stranger still was that the notion of suspension was
handed in by Denmark at the very time that the
English Government expressed his hope that Cheva-
lier BUNSEN would bring about a promulgation of the
armistice, as a thing which WAS absolutely necessary
for the conclusion of a peace. The King of DEN-
MARK'S reply to this hope of the English Government
was a short declaration of the suspension of the ar-
mistice. He (Baron GAGEEN) thought, indeed, this
hasty step of Denmark might possibly be without
serious consequences. Nevertheless the present ne
gotiations were broken off by that step until the has-
tiness of Denmark was atoned for, until the state
quo has been guaranteed up to some future term.
The negotiations were now directed to this
preliminary end. It was the duty of the
Imperial Cabinet to prepare Germany for every
contingency, and that Cabinet relied upon the co-
operation of the Parliament and of the several Go-
vernments. The Cabinet had hoped to maiutain the
honour of Germany in peace and peaceably, but if an
other war were to break out, it is Denmark at whose
door the guilt and responsibility lies. But if Den-
mark thought of profiting from the dissensions
among some German states, Germany will show
that she knows how to limit her intestine quarrels.

Madrid journals of the 2 t have been received.
A very violent scene occurred in the sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, on ttut day, between Rios
ROSAS and NARVAEZ, which ended in the latter
challenging the former.

The twenty• sixth bulletin of Prince WINDISCH-
GRATZ has been published, from which it would seem
that he himself' commanded in person in a desperate
action with the Hungarians, which lasted two days.
It is as follows :
"The Field-Marshal, having pitched his head-quarters
at Gyougyos on the 25th February, directed General
Schlick, who had arrived the same day at Pete'rvasara.
to join the main army on the 26th, by way of Verpeleth,
in order to attack the insurgents with our united
strength.
" On the 26th, Field Marshal Lieutenant Wrbna's co-
lumn advai.ced upon Gyougyos towards Capolua; that
of Field-Marshal Lieutenant Prince Schwarzenburg from
Arsk-Szsllas to Natal. At two o'clock both these columns
encountered the lett wing of the enemy before Kaal, an
hour's march from Capolua. who had got possession of
the wood between Kaal and Kompolt, their line of rosi-
tion strething into the high road leading iron) Grougyos
to Kapolua. On hearing the that cannot-shut from
Schwarzenburg's column, Wrbna Dore down upon the
enemy, who were in great force. At first the foe showed
a wish to menace our left flank from a wooded eminence.
crowned by two o: their battatiots. Here they were
disappointed, a bold bayonet charge. made by a company
of the 6th Jager battalion, under Captain Feldegg, sup-
ported by two companies of Ai chdulte S ephen, ttrivirg
them away from this important point, which was imme-
diately occupied by our then. Major Salts' received a
wound from an exploded grenade. The hostile cavalry
then tried to force our centre, by dashing through the
two columns, but four squadrons of Civilian's lancers
coming up, after dispersing an infantry battalion,
courageously faced the enemy, and succeeded in making
head against them. In this they were assisted by a de-
tachment of light horse, who, with order and precision,
attacked a hussar division. We lost in this affair Lieute-
nant Wit ssenthurm and six lancers; thirty-five were
wounded. Of the enemy sixty lay either dead or
wounded on the field. The foe then retired from all
points, pursued by our men as far as Kipolua and Kaal,
till night set in.
" General Count Schlick was prevented from pushing
forward to Verpeleth, on the 26th, as he found the nar-
row gorge of Sirok in the hands of the rebels, and saw
the necessity of making himself master of a position
affording great advantages for defence. This he effected,
and, before dark, had thrown his corps into the de file.
"Early in the morning or the 27th the Field Marshal
gave orders for carryine on the attack, the continual
platoon firing on his left giving notice of the approach
of Count Schlick. This general drove the enemy he
fore him on to Verpeleth, which place they occupied,
and stoutly defended. Toe b; igade Krieger'', hewever,
soon took the village. The 2si battalion of Latour in-
fantry distinguished themselves highly on this occasion,
and the foe withdrew in haste to the heights. A detach-
ment was thrown into the mountain hollows, in the di-
rection of Erlau, but the greater part turned to its centre,
which, broken at Kapolua by the brigade ‘vy ss, re-
treated on the L'uskolez road. The adversary seemed
to estimate highly the possession of Kapolua, and tried
twice to ri cover it. Not being able to displace the nume-
rous and well appointed artillery of the brigade Wyss,
and as Colleredu's had advanced forward through the
village of Dobro, threatening the enemy's right flank,
they made all speed to retire ovt r the heights. General
Prince Schwarzenburg advanced en the right ping to
Kaal, and took the village by storm.
" The wavering forces of the insurgents, who were
well supplied with artillery, drew off to a position at
Maklar. They were pursued for an hour beyond Kapolua,
till the weariness of the troops and the dusk of the even-
