| NJ The following letter from the correspondent
Of the N. y. Herald dated Vienna, Oct. IS, will
give some definite idea Of the state of affairs in
Aussria. Which appears paradoxical at present.
Progress Of the Revolution in Vienna.

man part of the hostile army, well those under
Auersperg as jeachich, is completely demoTalized,
and only waits favorable opportunity to join the
ranks Of the people, This apprehension is so great
on the part of the officers, that two German regi-

toned at Baden, about six miles from the city
Gen. Jodorowitz, who was coming TO the assist

the landsturm OF Hungary, and has been obliged to
take refuge in Syria. He has gone to Kirchlag
with 5000 men and some artillery. But then the

The Poles who were at Vienna have also joined
the democratic cause. This brave troop yesterday

There is not single Croat left in Hungary with
the exception of little garrison at the frontier Of
Csakatoura, guarding the bridge of Varasdin.
At Dukla, in Galicia, the reactionary party has
established camp. They talk Of concentrating
there 10000 men. Already corps Of $4,000 Aus
TRAN soldiers is concentrated at Olmutz where the
Emperor and the Minister Wessenberg are at this
moment, with what view, we shall know hereafter
Whatever they may do or attempt, predict to you
that their cause is irretrievably lost. They must
willingly or unwllingly, submit to the people, who
have always been sublime in courage and devotion
Would you believe thatit was with sticks and pixies
that these brave working men, led by the Students
took the cannons of the army Of AueFsperg, and
that since then, for ten days past, they maintain
der, and protect the property of those who have
graped their brothers. To give you an idea Of the
influence of the students over these men, will suf
flee TO cite one fact On the 9th, the people had
seized man, sgnalized to popular Indignation
violent reactionist The crowd demanded his
immediate execution and, already the rope was
about his neck, and he had but a few moments to
live, when student, making his way through the
dense mass, took the trembling captive by the arm,
exclaiming, In the name of the sovereign people,
arrest you Conduct the prisoner TO the Aula ! "
The crowd, appeased, as if by enchantment, con-
Quoted their victim to the university, and thus his
life was saved from the popular fury
Yesterday evening, at six O'Clock, cannonade
was heard. II was combat between the advanced
guard of the Croats stationed at the barrier Saint
Marxee, and the Syrian and Polish volunteers of
whom have spoken.
The city is perfectly tranquil, and, notwithstand
ing the absence of all regular government, and with
an armed population of 10000 men of whom two
thirds at least, are of the lower classes, the most
perfect order regns at all points, and not the slight
est interference has taken place.
HaLf-pdst TtUo.-General Bratich, who has ar
rived from the Hungarian camp, brings the news
that the night before an engagement had taken
place between the advanced posts of the Hunga-
rians and the Austrian troops, in which the latter
were worsted. | am tod that the General is about
TO visit the points of defence of the city, and to
concert with the chief of the staff the operations
for the defence of Vienna.
From all sides we have news of desertions from
the army of the Camarilla. piquet of Bohemian
dragons has joined the people, with arms and bag
gage, and has this moment entered the city in the
midst of the most enthusiastic acclamations.
You are aware that Bohemia is divided into three
distinct parties: the German party, which wishes
for German unity and federative republic the
tcheque-ultra party, which demands the establish
ment of Sclave kingdom, comprising Bohemia,
Moravia, and that part of Hungary which speaks
the Sclave language, and, lastly, the ultra anti
Sclavisto party, who are also called the historical
party. This last, which makes common cause with
the German democrats, confines itself to desiring
the establishment of a Sclave kingdom, which
would comprise Bohemia and Moravia, to the ex-
clusion of the German part Of the first Of these
provinces. The most effectual support as well of
the German patriots as Of Hungary, is assured TO
this latter party and the realization of the end they
have in view cannot be doubtful is only ques-
ton of time.
