tiers were at Schonbrunn; their combined forces
are estimated at Sc 600 or IS, 600 men. Windisch
chgratz understood to have left Olmutz, and to
have troops from that town in separate parties
But some accounts impute the imperial forces near
Vienna at SO COO men. Part of the force under
WindischgratZ had arrived on the 18th at Linden
burg, station on the Prague and Vienna railway.
1t was said that he would move towards Presburg.
Should this turn out to be his intention, his only
object would be to the Danube, not to march
toward Pesth. Already encampments for his troops
were being prepared in the vicinity Of Vienna, be-
tween the Northern railway and the road to Brunn,
near the villages of Wokendorf and Stammersdorf.
The total number of troops to be concentrated there
was to amount to some Is, 900 men.
According to intelligence from Cracow Of the
18th inst in the Brestaur Zeitung, orders had been
received there the l5h to send all the artillery
| and cavalry from Lemburg, PTzeschow and Tar
/ now, to Vienna. 1t was further asserted that in
| consequence of an agreement with Russia, the
| Russian army under Gen. Parntin would march
into Cracow as soon as the Republic should be pro-
claimed in Vienna, or a rise should take place IN
| Galicia.
The commandant of the National Guard at Wen
ma issued pacards on the 10th, announcing that the

| Vienna, and that the cOmmandant had on that &C
count posted strong force near the Belvidere. The

men. Vienna is now surrounded on all sides except
| one the Nussdorf line. The Russian Ambassador

that there still 10000 guns in Vienna ready for

Jellachich was still posted at Luxenburg, and his
| troops are united with those of Gen. Auers-
| perg. Olmutz is full Of troops.
The latest date from Vienna is to the Dist. AT
that time the city was completely surrounded, and

vancing TO the relief of the city, had reteated In
! consequence of the desertOn Of two Hungarian
! regiments of Hussars to WindishgratZ, who 1t is
added has taken possession of the Island of Lobau,
and placed force of 2600 men there. Provisions
were becoming very scarce in Vienna.
The Emperor, in his flight from Vienna, reached
| Olmutz on the 10TH and had refused audience to
the special messenger and to the deputatlon oil the
Diet sent to confer with him. 1t is said, however,

Croatia was only TO act on the defensive-not to
attack Vienna that he only to fight against
Hungary and tnaE circumstances WOuiu reg
