AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, DEC. 24.—N0 further accounts have yet
been received respecting _Raab ; all are looking for-
ward anxiously to the result of the attack of this city,
though there can be no question that it also must fall
before our troops.
By accounts from Presburg of the 21st, we learn
that that city and the whole of the environs
have been declared in a state of siege by General
Wrbna. The usual measures are of course adopted
—protection of the persons and property of peaceable
citizens ; severity against all persons holding
seditious language or meetings ; prohibition of
public placards without the sanction of the mili-
tary authorities; dissolution of the National Guard;
giving up all arms and weapons in the space of
twenty-six hours; all transgressors of these measures
to be subject to trial by court-martial ; all foreigners
and travellers are to quit the place, and every house-
holder is to be responsible for the persons resident
beneath his roof; no passport is valid unless counter-
signed by the military commander. Presburg
Zeitung.
A report is just now in circulation that the Magyar
troops had fallen, with great energy and considerable
numerical strength, upon Wiesselburg, that the Croats
had been again dispossessed, and that Jellachich had
been wounded.—Francfort Zeitung, Dec. 26.
