HUN GARY.

The Cologne Gazette of yesterday publishes a bul-
letin from the theatre of war in Hungary, dated
Vienna the 26th ult. The Lead-quarters of Prince
Windischgratz were advanced on the 26th as far as
St. Miklos, near Hochstrass. The advanced posts
stand within half-an-hour's march of Raab. The
column of Colonel Horvath, which had hitherto occu-
pied Oedenburg, was to advance on the 26th to i
Kapuvar, and so to effect a junction with the 1
right wing of the Imperial army. Another corps,
und(nr Lieutenant-Colonel Count Althaun, was on
its march via Guns to Steinamanger, where it would
effect a junction with the troops which are advancing
under Count N ugent from the frontiers of Styria
to Kormond, via Lovo. The enemy appears to
be chiefly occupied in plundering. Accounts from
Werschetz, of the 17th of December, announce
the utter rout Of the insurgents by the Servian
General Suplicacz. In the Carpathian districts the
severe weather has considerably increased the
difficulties of communication. A portion of the in-
surgents in arms at Silein under Captain Balogh, had
retreated before the division commanded by Field-
Marshal Lieutenant Simonich. The latter General
was besieging the small fortress of Leopoldstadt. All
the railroad communication from Vienna to Tyrnau,
and on the other side as far as Oedenburg, are now
restored. The Imperial troops are everywhere re-
ceived by the inhabitants in the most amicable manner.
The position of the Austrian corps d'arynee was not
materially altered. Count Zichy had been appointed
commissioner of the districts of Presburg and IViesel-
burg. Raab was expected to surrender very shortly,
the inhabitants being disposed for peace, and much
terrified, moreover, by the menaced bombardment of
the town. The accounts from Lower Hungary of
Dec. 21 and 22, confirm the brilliant achievements at
I'Verchetz, Carlowitz, and Essegg, but the intel-
ligence from the south is less unfavourable to the
Magyar cause. The Hungarians were fighting
desperately in that district, and had penetrated to
Neudorf. Arad and Temesvar were besieged, and
the camps at Tomasevzer, Doliblaser, and Alibuvaer,
are said to have been destroyed.
The Magyars were attacked on the 16th at Cserepsj
by Knicanin, who captured six guns; 600 Magyars
were slain, and 800 were taken prisoners.
Pesth and Ofen await with resignation the advance
of the Austrian army.
