Austria und Hmgdry.-Our Vienna
papers and letters are of the 18Th instant.
The Wiener Zeitung publishes an official
bulletin of the victory which the Ban OF
Croatia has gained over the Hungarians,
and of which mention was made in our
correspondents letter Of the l2th instant.
1t appears that the Ban left Title early on
fhe 5th June, and marching at the head OF
eight brigades, horse and foot, advanced to
the Hungarian entertainments, and pro-
ceeded to dispose his troops in advanta-
geous positions. On tho 7th. Hunga.
rian army Of Is batt4Iions, horse and foot,
and three batteries, came down upon him,
and in the engagement which ensued, il is
supposed that the Hungarians fred their
artillery too high, for none oftheir balls,
took effect. The Austrian artillery, on the
contrary, did great execution in the Hun
garian ranks, so much so, indeed, that the
Imperialist General, Ettinger, was enabled
TO make 4 cavalry attack, break through
their line of battle, and cause the precipi-
tate flight Of he dismayed Magyars. Two
of their battalions were literally cut to
pieces. The Hungarians had 500 killed
and 200 dangerously wounded most of the
latter were sacrificed TO the passions of the
infuriated lmperialISts. In short, the loss
of the Magyars, as given by the Wiener
Zeitung, is no less than 500 killed, while
80 wonderful were the rnanpuvres of Gen.
Ettinger, that only two Imperialists were

Our correspondent is at loss how to ac-
count for the disproportion OF the killed
and wounded in the two hostile camps, and
he presumes with a great show of proba-
bilty that the Hungarians must have been
surprised, and that what Baron JelIachich
calls battle was, in fact, butchery-that
is to saw, killing without resistance being
offered. We are not, however, unmind-
full of the fact that the ominous number of
''two killed" has often before figured in the
lmperiaIlst bulletins, and that it was made
TO cover the loss of thousands.
The Reported Bdttles.--The rumor of
the great battle between Raab and Wei
senburg is the same as heretofore published.
The other battle between an Austrian brig.
ade under Gen. Wyss and a body of Hun
garians, at Czorna is also confirmed. A
report from headquarters says:
Since the l3th,the general army corps un-
der General Schlick, has been marching
upon Raab. The brigade Of Wyss was
destined as an exclusive corps 10 cover
Schlick's right flank, and consisted of two
battalions SchonalIs, one battalion Hess,
one battalion Baden, two companies OF ia
gers Of the 14th battalion, three divisions
Of Raiser Uhlans, one SIX FOUNDER battery,
one cavalry and rocket battery. The bri-
gade had, on the 18th, advanced to Czorna,
but in order to cover the communication
with the cavalry brigade of the Sd army
corps at SzerdOhely, had left small force
IN Mihal and Kapnow its advanced posts
were Jeny and Bagyrk. In order not TO
divide its strength, the brigade forbore 10
occupy the passage of the Rabults at Mare
jllta and Eggeg. A considerable column
uf Magyars at 5 o'clock on the morning ot
the 18th. debouched through the former
place, and fell upon the right flank Of the
half brigade. The troops had to defend
themselves not only against the attack OF
the enemy, but against Teachery. The
inhabilants Of CZorna turned against them,
so that overpowcred, they tell back on St
Janos. Gen. Wyss, who was in the ranks
covering the retreat OF his men, fell, Sc
verely wounded, into the hands oi the en-
cmy.
