AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, DEC. 14.—The Imperial troops are re-
ceived as deliverers by the northern counties. The
cities of Kaschan and Esseries are already occupied by
them. Presburg is to be attacked to-morrow. It
appears certain that it will offer no resistance, but
surrender unconditionally. _ _

Prince WINDISCHGRATZ has quitted Vienna to join
the army operation.
'The Breslau Zeitung states that the Russians, with
three battalions of infantsy, a division of Cossacks, and
18 pieces of artillery, entered Transylvania, and oc•
cupied the important fortreis of Kronstadt. It state,
that the Austrian troops have taken Neusiedl and
Parendorf, but have been expelled with considerable
loss by the Hungarians from the trenches of Virtser,
which they had stormed.

The Wiener Zeitung is not permitted to insert any
accounts respecting the state of things on the
frontiers.

The ex-Emperor FERDINAND has been refused
permission to visit Vienna by the new EMPEROR.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

Accounts from Hadersleben state that fresh riots
have taken place there. One of the dragoons was
attacked by a number of armed peasants. The alarm
was rung, and in the fight which ensued a subaltern
was severely wounded by several shots. The people
fired upon the soldiers from the windows of the sur-
rounding houses, and from behind the hedges. After
some time the rioters were dispersed.

Colonel DE VERNON, Commander of the Republican
Guard of Paris, has addressed the following order of

Great preparations are being made at Copenhagen
for shipping a large body of military to Jutland and
Alsen. At Odenser the 6th battalion had received
command to recall all the men and officers who were
absent on furlough, and to be in marching order.
At Nyborg orders had been received from the
General in command to recal the men and officer:,
absent on furlough, in the 3d Jager battalion. The
decision of General VON BONIN, whether he and all
the Prussian officers shall quit the Schleswig-Hol-

desired by the Danes as it is apprehended by the
