though there was lille eannonading in the rear
OF the reiTeating army, there WIS no mischief DONE
lheemolu corps Of the Austrians encountered no
resistance Gil they reached Aida, on the Rabnitz,
close 70 Raab Here the Hungarans had occupied
me bridge, and thrown up pretty strong entrench-
menis, The Austrians sought to force passage,
Whence arose severe cannonadng on both sides,
whichlasted for thFee hours Then the corps Of
Benedes, coming from Epnese, appeared on the
Hank Of.the HuDgarians, who thereupon left their
entgenehmeHfs and fell back upon Raab. Ia tle
meantime the main corps Of the hlagyars had
abandoned kaah and taken UP position between
Glongyo and Acs. The Austrian engineers now
threw fresh bridge over the Rabnitz, TO replaee
the other, which had been destroyed BY the Hun
garians, and having united all their forces onthe
opposite bank, marched upon Raab. Here they
found hardly any resistance al all, as the rear
Austrian vanguard was entering The loss upon
either side was Insignificant The two pieces Of
artillery taken by the Austrians were two old can
non belonging to the town, and quite unservlce,,
able The Hungarian army was neither attacked
nor pursued. Measures were, however, taken 70
leave Raabon the following day and attack she

The Entrance Of The IluSsiaps.-The Russian
General 'Csrotepieim, having united his corps with
the weak Austrian division under Gen. Fischer,
and a ffse corps Of some hundred TgansylvaRians,
under the notorious chisftain Urban, marched for
the border on the 2lats From Watra-Dofna these
troops crossed the frontier in two directions. One
thence on Borgo Here, where 5000 HGngarians
We're stationed With six pieces of cannon, battle
took place, in consequence of which the Hunga-
Fians fell back on Bistrilz, The second column
advanced through Illovamia against Noszok, and
and at Foldra, on the great Szamos, engaged the
enemy. The loss upon either side was consider
able The Hungarians retFeated here also, and
the barricades of earth and feed timber were
cleared away. Both columns will uniIo before
BislTiz, from thence to gain Dies, and advance, if
possible to kauseeburg. It appears, therefore, to
be the plan Of The Huugarlans also on this side To-
retreaf before the enemy, and wait till he Is EN-
gagged in the heart Of the country 70 make serious
attack upon him. The Russian Colonel ,Hufsehen-
rieer, oil the Sfkewich infantry, fell in the battle
at BoIgo.

that PeFczsl would have rendered great service

Austrans find the country laid waste, and amongst
themselves the cholera is raging. The Magyar
correspondent from Presburg says that early onth
/ morning of the 18th ut, strong eannonade was
heard in the direction Of Szered and that the Hun

fensive.

/ The Position of IHrkpy.-The London Times
says The position Of the Porte with respect 20
/ Hungary becomes every day more complicated.
Il Il is on every side fTanght with danger and diff
/ Guilty. Bands ofmayauders are continually making
incursons into the Hungarian territory. Two ex.
petitions large sealev-the last consisting Of an
/ army Of 1900 Servians under TheodoFovich-
have already crossed the Danube and though they
have been on both occasions deiealedand driven
| back by the MagyaTs, they are prepared TO Tenew
their aggfessions on the first opportunity
Many hundred miles of the Turkish frontier is
identical with that Of Hungary; and the whole
line is from one extremity TO the other exposed e
blOodshed, anarchy, and CONFUSION. All that the
Hungarans ask of the Porte Is neutrality; but she
Porte, protesting 70 be neutral, is compelled by
Russia to sanction every sort of indirect hostility
Movements Of lle ATnies.--The Hungarian head
quarters are removed to GonYos which is nearly op
pOsite TO COmoFns Il is now become quite evident
that the same system has been adopted both by
Dembinski and GeoFgy Of declining decisive bat
tie One obvious result of this plan is that the ad
vancing armies from the northwest, will be some-
what reduced in strength bY the garrisons thew
will have 10 leave in their rear, and by the frequen
posts they will have 10 establish to keep up com
municatiOn through a hostile country with, theiE
base OF operations. GeoEgy, by declining battle
/ al Raab, and continuing his retreat towards Gran
will impose upon the Austria Russian army tbs
necessity Of leaving some 10000 men before Co
mora, Nevertheless, Georgy, it is thought, woult
never have abandoned Raab, except with the in
ientonof deiaching portion Of his force agains
