AUSTRIA
Capitulation Of Tienna.
Vienna has at length surrendered to the
Imperial troops, after either days siege, on
the 3lst ult. Six days were consumed in en-
deavoring to bring the Viennese to submits
sion.
Several attempts were made by the inhabi-
tants to obtain better terms of surrender from
the Imperial general, but all to no purpose
On the 2sth, Windischgratz, therefore, COM
menced an attack on the suburbs.
! On the 2Sth the engagement was chiefly
on the southern and eastern sides, while on
the western the batteries were heard at inter-
vals; in the evening, the Ban JeIlachich had
completely taken The suburb of Weden.
Many national guards threw down their arms
and great many weapons were found in the
canal. The workmen, on the contrary, dis
played great valor.
| No discipline was observed, and is was
therefore conectured that they had laid aside
their peculiar distinctive works, for the pur-
pose of remaining in cog. Not many bombs
appeared to have been thrown into the city
Between thirty and forty houses were burnt
down at II O'Clock at night. Nothing as yet
was decided upon beyond the victorious adj
vance ofthe troops
The inhabitants OF the city itself were said
to have raised white flags of truce as early as
the previous evening, which however, were
torn down by the operatives Only few
she Is were thrown on the evening of the 2Sth.
As means to inspire terror, they were di-
rected against the University, but a great
number OF rockets and shrepnells were thrown
on the following day On the 29th, at mid
day, the troops were already onthe glacis, at
distance of only 200 TO 400 steps from the
wall of the inner city. On the Goth truce
was agreed upon which extended TO the fol-
lowing day at noon; then the Hungarians,
who had crossed the frontier, made an attack
on the imperial troops, in which they were
assisted by sortie of the Viennese, but they
were completely defeated, notwithstanding
the various accounts of the captulation of
Vienna, which part does not seem to admit
of any doubt.
Windischgratz was obliged to advance as far
as the Stephon's Platz, the Viennese having
recommended a combat the city was bonn
barded once more.
On the 3lst INST, (Oct. 3lst,) the Hungari-
ans, eighteen thousand strong, attacked the
| left wing of Winlischgraizs and the right
of Jelliachich's army. Wesenhauser made
sally upon the gate in the vincinty of the Red
| Tower; the Hungarians, however, We're COM
/ pletely routed and driven into the Danube
! Windischgratz on the 30ih, at IL O'Clock,
sent the following telegraph despatch to Ba-
ron Wkssemberg :-''The Minister, President
of Vienna, Internationally submits this day.
My soldiers will enter Vienna today A
great part of the Hungarian troops went over
to the Austrian army, among Others the re-
| giment Lichtenstein
! The struggle in the streets of Vienna was
of short duration, the whole town was in pos
session of the Imperial troops on the lst of
November.
| On the evening of the 3lst the Imperial
! troops made their final entrance into the in
ner town, after having taken all the faubourgs
Advancing towards the bastions upon which
white flags had been raised, they were sud-
denly received by shower of balls, Shells
and rockets were upon this thrown into the
town.
The imperial library and portion of the
palace were soon in flames. The town SUBJ
mitted, and the Burge, the Karthner strasse,
and the Stephens Square were occupied by
the military. A brisk fire was still kept up
upon them from the windows.
The Burg-thor and Karthner-thor were
sormed and battered in by assault The
students tonight like madmen, and when the
rest of the city had given in, still defended
themselves in the vicinity of the Aud, sup
ported by portion of the workmen. On the
LIST Nov, they still held out in the Salzgries
borough.
On the 3lst, 500 prisoners were made, and
the same day the Hungarians recrossed the
Leitha and withdrew, The Imperial Gene
raj imposed upon the town several conditions
which were assented to by the Council.
First-A large imperial Austrian standard
is to be hoisted above all others upon the St
Stephens Church tower, which flags are to be
placed upon all the lines,
