The number elected
Taking into consideration the number of lodges which
the house contained in addition to the recognised tenants
and OF which could get no accurate return should sup
pose that the entire number turned out OF their houses on
Thursday would reach $50 families or 600 individuals
Of this number, could learn that about 80 families, or
on avarage of to each family, about 100 persons,
were to be allowed other dwellings in the village Sol
that 4sO persons or 100 families would thus appear to
be thrown the "waves of the word,' some OF the
unfortunate people themselves stated It, will not at

Hungary and Austria.
The Tc,ory in the Rothenthurm Pass.
The Democratic Pacifque has private and authentic ad-
vices from Hungary which confirm the reported victory
|of BEN the Russians in the Rohenhurm Pass IN
Transy lvania The why there is any doubt or
obscurity with regard TO recent movements IN Hun
gary is that the Austrian authorities take all possible
means Of suppressing intelligence from that quarter
The Democratic alrms positively that me RUSSIAN as %
vanced guard suffered check near Jablunka some ~
miles from Cracow, in consequence OF when DIVISION
laid down its arms, abandoning its artillery with horses
and equpage, ITS baggage, munitions and materials OF
war.
In the defes OF Eperies, Dembinski has beaten the
Russians, and driven the whole body which was ad.
vancng by that route back beyond the Caahlans, ali
the northern gorges of which range he now occupies.
But victory which even the Austrian government
journals do not dare to deny, says the Democratic that
gained by BEN a Russian column OF 23O00 men
ing an entrance into Pennsylvania by the Eothen
thurm (Red Tower Pass He allowed the enemy to
penetrate TO the very extremity OF the valley where ne
was ready to receive them behind some forihcatlons
which he had erected for the purpose. While the Rus
slams attacking these works. the Seeker noun
taneers suddenly appeared on the heights OF the dehe'
thus threatening both TANKS and the rear OF the enemy
whom they destroyed by rolling rocks upon them IRON
above. Terrible confusion instantly appeared IN the
ranks of the imperial force, and flight instantly took
place among them, leaving third oil their whole num-
Der the field of battle.
The Hamburger Correspondent announces the success
Of BEN in these terms "Bem has swept me ironer o.
Russian officers have gone to the Hungarians The
: Hungarans mean to avoid pitched battle"
The Democratic Pacifque also publishes letter from
Cracow, dated May 81, which says;
j Benz, who at first had but handful of insurgents
has army OF more than 10000 men and 200 can
non Kwan and Arsa have been TO us precious arsenas
of men and arms The Russians ask nothing better than
be dsarmed as they are away from the author
= ity of their generals. The advantages which hem has
gained are astonishing especially from the 7th to The 10th
of May Dembnski has also beaten the Russians on
the Polish soil Of Gillca In former letter announced
you the presence OF noteworthy strangers tench ana
English) al headq uarers but was beheah the reit-
ty--,here are Americdns there also" -
correspondent of the National writes from Vienna
sc Ko,,nth paws his men literally The common soldier
receive 10 krutzers (about cens) day IN money! a
sufficient quantity OF meat bread, and vegetables ana
chance for extraordinary rewards, which are as high as
500 horins for the capture of flag cannon &c. The
skill of the Hungaans makes unlikely that they will
= be broush; TO pitched battle.
The Weser Zeung says 1t is reported that Eszck has
been taken by the Hungarians The district OF Sunegh
in open Instruction which may render dhcult the re-
treat Of Jellachch. Perhaps shall soon see Magyar
armies the shores of the Adratc sea The Russians
will advance with greater difficulty than the Car seems
to suppose, and the fever which will prevail during the
summer will greatly weaken his army. The war will
last long, and if Austria should obtain the victory she
will suffer from It tor many years
Defeat ofMe Russian Advanced guard
The advanced guard OF the Russians has been unex-
pectedy attacked and destroyed by DIVISION under
frontier of Hungary. Two thousand Russians were lei
on the field OF battle, and 20 cannon fell into the hands
of the vctors II is SAID that the Hungaans have pos
sessed themselves Of Lemberg, but this requires confirm
alton II is certain, however, that Dembnskl wishes 70
pass into Poland by Gaicia, and that account Rus
sian force OF 5000 men has occupied the camp OF Ma
- lisch and is to remain on the frontier.
