the accounts by the Niagara tell Of the disastrous
defeats Of he HungaTians, it is matter of mourn
ful interest to follow TIE maneGvres OF the con-
tending armies, and trace the events preceding tbs
Russian victories We therefore give pretty full
accounts from Hungary.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY
The accounts from Vienna are of much interest
The accounts Of the entrance Of the Hungarisns
from COmUFn into RaAb have been fully confirmed
and they only differ 20 the extent Of the bootv

uniforms, Very large quantity Of -four, corn and

Of artillery and tlIai theysoiso Ilads Ls.tahon

TO march Most accounts state that it was the gar

advance on Raab but it mas been asserted that the

See with considerable corps, moved on Raab
and there pinned the corps from Comorn. Ii is un-
certain whether the MagyaFs have remained az
Raab, though it seems more probable that they
have. According to accounts in the Hambug BOr-
segtdits, dated from Vienna on the 9Th, authentic
intelligence OF events between Raab and Comorn
was sill wanting The post between Vienna and
Festh interrupted, and no letters had arrived
from Raab. Letters from Wieselburg, Of the day
before, stated that the insurgents were still in
Raab, and bad pushed their Outposrs to beyond
HOChstrasse. The endorsements sent from Vienna,
MOravia and Bohemia, consisted of sixteen batta-
ions. Ii was reported thai the Hungarians had en-

The Vienna papers state officially that Gen. HRY-
nau entered SEegedn on the Cd, without expert
} encing any resistance. The evening edition OF the
Wiener Zeitg, of the Sth, states that trustworthy
private letters, direct from the headquarters of
Gen. Haynau, dated at Szegsdin on the evening IF
the 9Th, announce that, during the night of the Sd
bridges were thrown in several places over the
Thesis. On the 4th, the fortified camp of the Mag
vars (under the command of MeZ2aros, Dembinski,
and DesUtfy) was attacked, and all the entrench-
ments were taken after determined resistance
The imperial troops advanced VIGOROUSLY on all
sides. The courier who arrived in Vienna from
SZegedin, on his journey through Southwestern

perfectly quiet although the result of the sally
from COm0rn was known.
Accounts from the south state that the Ban was
preparing TO the offensive, and that the I'M
perlslists had succeeded in destroying, by fire.
