ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

this arrival is of little importance, except that
part of it referring to the progress of The allied
imperia'ists in the war waging upon Hungary.
An engagement between the Hungarians under
Gergey and the Russians at Mishkolz, on the
left bank of the river Sajo had been reported
but the result of the battle was left doubtful
We now learn that the engagement was one OF
the most important of the whole war, and, so
far as is yet known, though unattended with
any decisive result the advantage seems to
have remained with the Hungarians After the
battle of Waitzen, in which Gorgey succeeded
in breaking the line of the combined armies and
effecting his retreat, Prince Paskiswitsch dcs-
patched Gen. Grabbe in pursuit Of him. On
the 22d Of July he reached Loson2, but found
that Gorgey had quilted that place with his
rear guard teat very day. The next day he
continued the pursuit, and on the oath fell in
with the hungarian General with a force Of
thirty thousand men, strongly posted at Mish-
kolz. Meantime General Paskiewitsch had al
so sent three other regiments against the Hun
garians and an attack was at once commenced
by the Russian division under CZeodaieH. The
battle lasted three days with varied success, the
fortune of war being equally divided between
the combatants. On tie Goth, however, Cor
gey withdrew his army.
The correspondent Of the London Chronicle
says, that he gave in representing II as de-
feat but the Y'aaeS SAYS that 'Gorgey, whose
manoeuvres are wont to puzzle his antagonists,
quilted his position and marched IN the direc-
ton of Tokay' AT all events the Russian Cen
cral Grabbc was sent IN pursuit and crossed the
Thesis at Tissa Fured. Ills march one of
immense difficulty, the route lying over morass-
cs, and the bridges having been destroyed by
the lIuGgarians The Russians al last succeed
ed in crossing the river, though IN a sad plight
and with the entire loss of their baggage they
forthwith commenced throwing entrenchments
around the position which they had taken up
JIa~r 1at.
Times, in an editorial article SPEAKS Of the issue
as decidedly Vi favorable to the Russians, Il is
also stated that the Intelligence received at vi
emma by special courier from the camp of Prince
Paskiewitsch was not allowed to transpire.-
This is the sum Of all the intelligence from that
part of the Hungarian army under Gorgey on
the Upper Theiss. General Paskiewitsch reach
ed Dcbreczin on the 22d Of August, and took
possession of that place without opposition.
The second edition Of the Times on Friday,
states that there was private report at Vienna
on the l2th, Of great battle between the Rus
sian General and Dembinski, having been fought
during two days between Debreczin and Gross
warden IN which Fsskiewitsch was d.teattd
But this was only rumor and might prove UNI
true.
From Szcgedin no accounts had been recev-
cd u Vienna for the last six days, and none Of
Prince Paskiewitsch for above four days 1t is
worthy Of remark, that the intelligence which
the last courier Drought from LHc fIhCE camp
on the TIN inst. was not allowed to transplre -
i was privately stated at Vienna that the Rus
sian Marshal has mad two DAYS battle with Dem
binski This battle IS asserted 10 have taksn
place between Debreczin and Grosswardein.
Our correspondent has received intelligence
from Ruma of the 7th inst. The imperiaIlst ar
nv at that place had been reinforced, and It was
believed that the Ban was at Mossorin NJ. Kos
suth was on lst inst. al Periaz, and on the Sd
he went to Panczoya.
Il was believed al Vienna that the Imperial
st army which has been concentrated to oppose
the progress of the Hungarians from Comofn,
would begin 10 act on the 18Th INST. The kol-
uer Zcitung states that the city of Raab has been
occupied by a large Hungarian force, which
forms part Of General Auhch's army Weisel-
burg has been evacuated by the lmperiallst gar
rison aud the Hungarian iIu@sars have entered
the place though they have not yet taken pos
session of il. The road of Stuhlweissenburg
and Pesth is likewise in the hands OF the Hun
garians for Hussars and HonTcds made their
appearance at Nessprim.
Large bodies Of Hung3rians (lt IS stated no
less than } 600 advanced in the island OF Shut
to Sommcrein, and some of the Hussars have
even passed through the suoerbs OF Fressourg.
Al tho towns and provinces OF Austria nave
been drained OF the last troops which could DC
spared to collect an efficient garrison for Pres
burg, and $1,000 men, most or them young
troops were got together, and even they are wo-
fully in want of horses and artillery. Presburg
cannot, therefore, be pronounced TO be safe, and
Vienna too . in danger OF VISIT from the Illus
sars The condition of the imperallst armies
would indeed be desperate if the late rumors
OF a defeat which Prince PaskIewitch suffered
between Dcbrazin and Grosswardein were 10
prove true.
The above comprises an outline of all the i'm
teligence relating to the principal operations
OF the week. The sortie of the Hungarians from
the fortress of Comorn seems to have been 4
most energetic and important movement. The
losses of the Imperialists in killed and wounded
and in captured men and cannon, was much
greater than was at first reported. The cap
ture Of Raab is also fully confirmed. The re-
treat of the Impcrialists from that city was all
but race, in which the soldiers cast away their
muskets, swords and knapsacks, while the kus-
slams arrived at Presburg in their shirt sleeves.
Rumor speaks of FIVE battalions of foot which
arc missing, and those among the lmperiaiists
that have been actually engaged bear the marks
Of the sabres of tho formidable llussars. The
impression which these Teyerscs produced at
Vienna is profound and lasting.
letter from Rome Of the 5th instant says
Our capital so perfectly tranquil during the
last fortnight has suddenly resumed warike
appearance. Corps of cavalry and infantry are
encamped during the night on the principal
squares the horses are saddled, aud the guns
loaded Four pieces of artillery are pointed on
the Piazza del Popo!o, towshds the three great
streets, the Corso, Ma Repelto, and Via del
Babuino. Sqladrons of cavalry, and strong
detachments of infantry patrol at night the
streets Of the city, Gen Oudlnot, on being
informed of the measure reducing by one-third
the value of the paper money, and ANXIOUS TO
prevent popular insurrcctlon asked that the
decree should not be posted up through the
town but the Pontifical Commission placed un-
der his eyes his declaration of the day before,
by which he resigned all his power into the
hands of the delegates of the Holy Father, and
the general was obliged TO allow the promuiga-
ton OF the decree
/ The other acts of the f0ntifca Commission
! are equally ominous. They comprise the re-
