ceived during the past week have been from Ans

all WHO are cODveFsant with the real mode Of in-
terpretng the imperiatist bulletins thag the Han
and most disastrous check. Tier the occupation
Of Raab the imperalists, 10000 siroRgs advanced
towards COmOfn, where their passage aeroes the
Danube was opposed BY General -GeoFgey, who's
after eight hours battle, foTeed them 10 retreat.
| The number on the side Of The HungaraHs was
40 600. General Schlick, advancing in the same
/ district At the head Of 10000 AnsirianB, also
driven back Alter this the whole Of the Imperial
ist.army WERE forced 10 rs-coneensTate themselves
| at Raah, and the Emperor, who had participated
| 10 the advance, found Il expedient 70 return to
Vienna 10 describing their attack upon GeqFgey
the lmperialsls say that they took 200 pris0neFas
| and that 500 Huhgarians were left upon the field
while their own loss was comparatively SMALL
Unfortunately for them, however, subsequent of
fetal announcement mentions that GOO wounded
K AustFians and Russians had arrived at Visnna-e
fact which suggests that the hospitals AZ Raab and
PresburE must have been previously filed. From
the South the accounts are that Jeachich il again
forced retreat and that the Austrian garrison Of
the important fortress of Afad has been al length
compelled 20 surrender TO the Hunganans-
| Although the Russians and Ausirians have been
thus again unsuccessful in the field, they are as
great as ever in their seventies upon ihoss who
have no mower To resist. General HaVnau has IS
sued a proclamation rivalng the old masterpieces
Of Windischgralz and Weldon. Death by rope or
bullet and eoHfiscati0n Of properly are declared

the example set BY the French Government IN the
| case of the Romans, by circulating ali SORTS Of

which can be proved against that parsonage.
The London Times gives from ifs Vienna papers

ton which nj. Kossuth has lately published at

of that river are to be defended, and the inhahi-
tants OF the towns and villages shall, on the ap-
preach Of the enemy, leave their hOnses and homes
and carrying away all provisions, take refuge in
