AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The report of the defeat of JELLACHICH by tb.
Hungarians is confirmed.

The Austrian Lloyds Gazette gives the following
account of the battle:—

" On the 29th September, at a quarter to eleven
o'clock in the morning, Jellachich, at the head of his
army, issued forth from the gates of Stuhlweissen-
burg, his picked troops in the van. lie attacked the
right wing of the Hungarian army with his main
body. Two companies of National Guards were the
first attacked, and fell back in disorder; but rallying,
advanced steadily with fixed bayonets, and drove the
Croatians back with slaughter. Jellachich then
issued orders to his Cuirassiers to charge, and,
placing himself at the head of them, advanced at
full speed on the Hungarian infantry. The Hun-
garian cavalry were drawn up in battle array in
beautiful order. As the Cuirassiers came rush-
ing on, a masked battery of the Hungarian Land-
wehr, stationed on a hill-side, and supported by a
body of infantry, sent a murderous volley of bullets
into the close set ranks of the horsemen, who retired
in disorder. The Hungarian Hussars charged in
their turn, and a hand to hand melee ensued, which
lasted from eleven in the morning till five in the after.
noon. General Mogg, who commanded the Hunga-
rians, displayed the greatest skill and coolness. At
six o'clock the artillery ceased playing, and the Croa-
tian army withdrew slowly in an easterly direction.
A council of war was immediately held in the
Hungarian camp, fearing that the enemy should at-
tack their flank at Chalvar, Bia, and Bieske, and
attack Ofen on another point ; they resolved, conse-
quently, to withdraw to Markonvasar, to protect the
city against a coup de main. The field of battle was
left in possession of the Hungarians, who have to de•
plore the loss of Ivanka, one of their leaders, who was
made a prisoner."
JELLACHICH has, it is said, fallen back in disorder
behind the Platter See.
The Hungarians took Count ZicaY prisoner, and
upon him were found some letters from the Baron, in
which the latter invites him to enlist the Hungarian
soldiers. The universal cry of " Death to the
traitor" arose, and the Count ZICIIY was hung.

JELLACIIICEI has been appointed by the EMPEROR
Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian troops in Hun-
gary.

The spirit of the Hungarian troops is excellent.
The Hungarian troops cantoned out of the country
are also animated by unequivocal feelings of puriot-
ism. Three hundred Hungarian infantry have, of
their own accord, marched from Gallicia to join in
the combat, and the 12th Regiment of Hussars have
also deserted in companies to come to the assistance
of their country. It is the same in Italy.
It is stated :from good authority that RADETZKY
has written to the Austrian Ministry to have done
with the Hungarians, for that he cannot keep them
in his army. Sixteen Hungarian soldiers were shot
on the very day that RADETZKY sent off his dispatch
to Vienna.

HURBAN, who bad come from Bohemia at the head
of some hundreds of students, to raise the Sclaves of
the north against the Hungarians, has been defeated
by the National Guard, and his band completely dis-
persed.

The Augsburg Gazette of the sth October pub-
lishes the following under the head Vienna, Oct. 2 :
" Many unpleasant rumours have had circulation
these few days past. It was reported that the Poli-
tical Association was to be suppressed during the
sitting of the Diet, and that a new law for the pre,s
was to be promulgated, under the protection of the
bayonet. Count Auersperg his, however, denied
that these rumours have any foundation, and that the
promulgators of them will be punished. The charivaris
have ceased, thanks to the intervention of the National
Guard."
