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 fortress of Kronstadt. It state
that the Austrian troops have taken Neusiedl and
Parenderf, 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 wai
attacked by a number of armed peasants. The alarin
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.

Great preparations are being made at Copenhagen
for shipping a large body of military to Jutland and
Alsen. At Odenser the sth 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 officers
absent on furlough, in the 3d Jager battalion. The
decision of General Vox BONIN, whether he and all
the Prussian officers shall quit the Schleswig-Hol-
stein army is not known. It is, of course, as much
desired by the Danes as it is apprehended by the
Schleswig-liolsteiners. Hamburgh Borsenhalle,

GRAND DUCHY OF HESSE-
DARIVISTAD T.
A very favourable impression has been produced
throughout the whole country by the energetic con-
duct of the Grand Duke towards the re-actionory
aristocracy of a portion of our cavalry officers in the
Lehrbach-Wittgenstein affair. The present Minister
of War, Count LEHRBACII, a very liberal-minded
man, of the new system, has been obnoxious ever
since his appointment to Prince WITTGENSTEIN', the
soul of the ancient Court party, and his adherents,
and their constant aim has been the expulsion of the
Minister.
A very harmless speech which the Count made at
the National Union at Darmstadt, of which he is a
member, afforded a pretence to some of the officers of'
the Garde de Chevaux Legers, headed by their chief,
Prince WITTGENSTEIN, to make a protest against
him, and to demand his dismissal. Nearly all the
infantry officers, however, took part with the Minister
of War. The Grand Duke summoned the cavalry
officers, and declared to them that he considered it
an honour to serve with Count LEBRIIACH, and who-
ever did not wish to do so might immediately tender
his resignation—that the ranks of the subalterns
would instantly supply an adequate number of able
officers. This was not all ; the former all-powerful
Prince WITTGENSTEIN received his dismis2sl
