Affairs in Hungary.
TRANSLATED for the Tribune from Leationa{, Oct Ill
The Emperor Of Austra has decidedly declared
war against the King Of Hungary-or rather he is
about to declare his own DOWNFALL
Up to the present time The Austrian reaction, os-
tensIbly, had not attacked Hungary had kindled
a civil war, in this country had Austria disguised
her policy, under the pretence OF permitting the
Croatians to act for their own advantage The
defeat Of Jellachieh aarIny has decided the CANA
rilla to remove the mask She is too far engaged
to draw back and the Austrian troops are now
marching against the Hungarans The forces de-
signed to repress the revolution were concentrated
at Basic; but the National Guards and the pea
SAINTS already in arms, went to that town to sur
round the Croatans they found already assembled
there; and the Court Of Vienna will not perhaps
have the time to succor those whom her policy has
compromised. We know, on the other hand. that
the German regiments who had received orders to
quit Moravia and attack Hungary, have not been
able to penetrate into that country. The lIunga-
rian opposition commences at the very frontiers of
Hungary.

ships Lower down, the fortress of Komarom is
occupied by 6000 Hungarian Gardes Mobiles T"
and regular troops. Madarasy, who exercises the
functions of Commissioner of that place, has dis
missed all the officers on whom he Thought he
could not rely, thus inspiring the garrison with
confidence. The Danube is therefore shut to the
Austrans. In Southern Hungary, Peterwaradin
is equally in the hands Of the Hungarians but the
three other fortresses Of the country Eszeh,
Arad and Terneswar - which from the COM
mencement Of the Croatian war have declared
themselves neuer, will, without doubt. raise
the imperial standard. Ii is hoped that the soldier
who shut up there will follow the example Of
their brothers in who have periodically dis
obeyed the Austrian officers, and that they will
fraternze with the volunteers. Besides these for
tresses cannot be revictualed, for the Hungarians
intercept all the avenues. 1t is above ALL by Tevo
lutonaTy means that Hungary will resist Austria.

have finished by seizing the greater part of the
enemy's entrenchments. There only remains TO the
Serbes the camp of St. Thomas, which has not yet
been attacked, by Of the inactivity Of Gen.
Meszaros but which probably will not resist gem

Serbes will have no more in a state TO keep the

independence Of Hungary, they are defending their

charged with the preparations of the country for
war, has already granted 80,C09 sythes In these
circumstances, which the Austrian policy should
have foreseen, one naturally demands. For what
issue the Imperial Cabinet is prepared Does it
wish to undertake the conquest Of Hungary! But
there only remain 10000 men for the enterprise and
they cannot ungarrison Prague and Vienna. Do

the army Of Radefzky is only Austrian, because it

only explain the Austrian policy, (Which is but an
