ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDoNIA.-SEVEN DAYS
LATER FROM EUROPE The steamship Gale
donia, arrived at Boston on the LIST inst. by
her we have additional news from Europe and
the seat Of war in Hungary. The news seems
very contradictory. Such as it is, we give |
synopsis.

Queens visit to Ireland, where she has been

much she has seen of the people of Ireland is
another matter. -s---,.-.--.-

FTance.-At length, after session OF eigh-
teen months. only occupied by the brief inter

Assembly of France, has adjourned to the 1st

A letter received in Paris from Vienna,
states that the government had resolved to ne

Austria and Hungdry.-The accounts from
Vienna are of much interest. The accounts
of the entrance of the Hungarians from Co
morn into Raab, have been fully confirmed !;
and they only differ as to the extent of the
booty which was secured in and near Raab
| by the Magyars. One estimate, and that a
bout the highest one, says that they captured
1000 oxen, $4,000 uniforms, very large
quantity of flour. corn, and gunpowder; some
copper money, and eleven pieces of artillery
and that they also made battalion of Italian
foot prisoners. Another account speaks of a
still greater number of guns being taken, but
other statements estimate at a very much low
er amount the Austrian loss, in stores, artille-
ry, and prisoners. -...s -..--- .-.s..s
The greatest alarm was excited in Vienna
and Presburg by the news of the advance OF
the Hungarians, whose outposts are said to
have appeared in Wieselburg. All the troops
which could possibly be spared from Vienna
were Immediately despatched by railway to
Presburg, and ii is said that many of the SOL
diers, who were raw recruits, displayed very
great encouragement and reluctance to march
Most accounts state that it was the garrison
of Comorn under Klapka which made the ad
vance on Raab, but it has been asserted tina
the Hungarian general, Aulich, who has beer
rumored, truly or untruiy, to have been neal
the Platten See with a considerable corps
moved on Raab, and there joined the corps
from Comorn. It is uncertain whether the
Magyars have remained at Raab, though i
seems more probable that they have.
I According to accounts in the Hamburger Bor
senhalle, dated from Vienna on the 9Th, au-
thentic intelligence of events between Raat
and Comorn was still wanting. The post be

no letters had arrived from Raab Letters from
