The Important Nncs from HN~gary-7hs Effect of

the Capture of Raab in Yienna, &c., $c.
Important news has reached this city, to-day,
from the seat of war In Hungary, to this effect
that either General Auch has entered Raab,
driving cut the Austrian garrison or that this same
piece of service has been effected by General
Klspka, the Hungarian commander of Comorn, a
fortress some twenty miles distant frem Raab
Several effective sallles have lately been made by
this same Klapka. The effect of this news at
Presburg and Vienna was astounding, and the Aus
trian party IN both cities even feared that the Mag
vars would not stop short of their own very walls
BY looking at the map, it will be seen that this
affair must have taken place on the line Of commu-
nication between Hsynau and his lines of ope.
rations, and, as vast quantity of provisions have
been captured by the Magyars, either in Raab, or
going down the Danube, at point near this city,
it will be clear that this is part of the commissioned
of the Austrian General. Now, as the country
which he has travelled over, on his way TO his pre-
sent quarters, near Szegedin, almost destitute of
provisions Of any sort, and, moreover, Ill supplied
with water, should he be thus cut of by force in
the rear, without being able soon to strike de-
cisive blow, his consltion will be bad indeed.
Moreover if defeated at Szegedin or Grosswar-
deln his chances OF falling back upon Vienna will
be come what, but not much, better than those
which lde French had on returning from Moscow
The landstrum will cut his army 70 pieces. Gen.
Haynau has heavy piece OF work on his hands at
this moment
When the news of the capture of Raab reached
Vienna the standing garrison OF that place was
ordered out, and telegraphlc despatch sent off to
Olmutz, for the garrison Of the latter city to repair
instantly to Vienna. This Is significant of disas.
trous intelligence. 1t is said the Vennlese soldiery
have no stomach to march eastward, and as they
passed through the streets, they were heard TO
take leave Of their friends, saying" Farewell:
we are going to certain death: One regiment of
hoe SrAcEa nf rod tho
preceding night (the 4th), that they would not go
to Hungary, until assured by the Emperor that they
would not be sent into any dangerous afiray. This
Is, Of course, an exaggeratIon; but there is no
doubt that the courage OF the Austrian troops has
been greatly, cooled down by the late reverses Of
their comrades.
A correspondent of the Koiner Zsitung. writes
from Vienna, with dates OF the 5h stating that
groups OF soldiers and officers had arrived in that
city, and also IN Presburg, without hats, covered
with dust, and running away from the direction OF
Raab. These had brought with them accounts
that the Magyar force that had taken Raab con-
sisted Of 10000 men, and their impression was that
1t was The garrison OF ComOrn
With regard to the operations in Transylvanla
there is no certainty in the reports. One which
we have seen states that P-rcz-l was beaten BY an
AustTo- Russian army but that BEN was after
wards sent 10 engage this force, and succeeded in
almost destroying it; the result having been TO- 900
men hns de combat on the field, and 900 prisoners.
This rumor is from letter by way OF Constanti-
nople. You will find more full details of Hunga-
rian news IN the papers. | have only sent you
such items have not yet appeared in the columns
of either the London or Paris journals.

The reactonary feeling In France has nearly
reached its climax, and men talk openly Of an EN-
pire. A coup d'etot to effect this has been fore
told will take place the 18th of the present
month. The Prince President has just flashed

French papers) he has been met with enthusiasm.
The Assembly is now prorogued-the power OF The
executive is at this moment almost Unlimited, as
he can, by the late law, declare the state Of siege
at any momeni and, by another beautiful bill just
raised, the press is no longer tree.
The French republic must fall. But does il fall

ployed that was In the power OF the grants league.

Paris, constitute a powerful body, and they will

the old system, with all It's prestige. They may
make France kingdon-sh enipre--what they
