ent, since the royal casino at Castellamare near
Naples, is being prepared for lis holiness A gem
tleman behind the scenes al Gaeta tells me the
Pope is mnch afflicted, and his conviction is, that
his holiness is nothing but a helpless tool IN the
hands of Austria, Spain and Naples, whilsrMM
! de Rayneval and d'Harcourt have been so acted
upon by the Gaea plot as TO forget both their own
honor and that of France as we'll az all respect
due to- the head Of their church, GaEibaldithreat-
ems the Neapotan frontier with COCO men, so that
the Spanish and Neapolitan forces are constantly
on the lookout; they form together an army Of
10000, but their forces have an extended line
of frontier to protect, considering Girabaldis known
talent for irregular warfare. it is not improbable he
will give them some trouble Gen. Wimpffen has
joined the circle at Gaeta, which is still composed
of old intriguing cardinals and diplomatists from
all the Roman Catholic courts. His holiness is to
visit Naples in a few days"

HUNGARY.
/ In the battle before C0morn on the lIth, $50
pieces Of cannon brought into the field by the
4 Hungarians, and 10 by the Austrians The severe
loss sustained by the latter in artillervmen may be
estimated from the Circumstance that several the
guns had to be served latteflV bV the Deutcbmeis-

Denys Pazmandy, formerly president Of the
| Hungarian National Assembly, was brought pri-

| llth, under a strong escort He sat in his own
| handsome equipage, while the people gazed muely
/ at the statesman whose eloquence had so often
! called down thunders Of applause. Ten beautiful
horses Of his stud, led after the carriage, drew
| scarcely less attention from the crowd than their
captive master, and the little procession was fol-
| lowed eagerly by the curious until it disappeared
| within the doors of the river barracks. Distant
cannon was heard at the same time in the direction

lhe churches being in many places used for this
purpose. The want of surgeons is severely felt.
| Al the Paris B0ufse on the 18th there was circu-
lated report that fresh battle had occurred be-
fore COmOn on the 18Th, and another that the Rus
slams had joined the corps Of General Ramberg, in
Pesth, both Of which appear highly improbable.
Great Victory Of the Hungarians over the Russians
| The Turkish Ambassador in Paris received a
dispatch on the 18Th ult., by courier, announcing
that the Polish General Benz had again completely
defeated the Russians under the command Of Gen.
Luders in Pennsylvania, and that the latter had
been Obliged to take refuge in Wallachia, with a
small remnant of his army.
The communication between the Austrian head
quarters, which are advanced TO Alt Gallas near
Dotes, and the corps of Paskewitch, posted be-
tween Waitzen and Hatvan, has been reestablish-
ed by way of Pesth. The official report of the
taking of Pesth and Buda on the Ilth hes arrived
in Vienna.
In Comorn a white and black flag were waving
on the battlements, as symbols Of the contest for
life or death.
The Russian General Grabbe's troops occupied
on the 9Th, Neusohl 'Kremnitz, and Schemnitz,
and had met no opposition.
Fied-Marshal Ottnger, on the 5th, had advanced
to reconnoitre from the headquarters of Jeachich
with detachment Of cavalry, but was attacked
by the Magyars and driven back
/ al hie
to make head against the Russians. KOsslith is
not heard Of TheBan holds the enemy in check
making successful sorties. Comorn will soon BE-
invested. The corps of Gen. Grabbe were march
! The Hungarian General, Georgy, is still alive
and in the field, in spite Of the Vienna press which
has lately not only wounded and killed him, bu
also deprived him Of his command.
VENICE.
The siege operations against Venice have been
discontinued IN consequence Of the fatal prevalence
OF fever and sickness among the Austrian troops
} accustomed by the excessive heat and hard work
tivity of the besegers is limited to the establish
ment OF strict blockade by land and sea. In th
way It is thought that the reduction of Venice may
be procured without further bOOdshed the surren
der Of Ancona and Rome having left no motive fo
lurlher resistance, either as regards the point O
honor, or hope of final success; while, on the other
the suffering OccasiOned by the scarcity of the
necessaries of life, and the total want Of luxuriei
such as ice, which in Italy scarcely less ndis
pensabie, is daily aggravated by the protraction
hostilities.
