AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The Great Battle near Raa5 The London Globe
of the evening Of the 3D. says: We have intelli-
gence from Vienna to June IT,. phe great news is
a tremendous encounter with the Hungariaus The
/ Ausinans and Russians are said 10 have beer com
pletely defeated, and to have left the field the
fabulous number Of $4,000 killed. This battle took
place the 18Th, 18th, and 18th, on the large plain
between Raab and Weiselburg, 1t lasted 81 hours
] The loss Of the Magyars is stated at 5000. 'Phe
| Austrans were commanded BY HaVnau the Rus
slams by Rudger, and the Hungarians by Gorgy."
Although the news of this battle has been re-
ceived in private letters, singularly enough, no
papers alude 10 it. The lloyd Of Vienna contains
4 not the most distant alluson toit.
Fight at Czorna,-AnotbeF affair, which must
not be COMPOUNDED with the above, is mentioned as
having occurred at Czorna. A brigade was sent
| by Schlick from Oedenburg, under Gen. Wyss, in
| that direction Gen. w was taken prisoner. and
the Uhlan, Colonel Baron Zessner, killed. Schck
sent oul his brigade to cover his right flank, as he
was marching to Raab. He was beaten on the
| 18th ut
Some reports represent this whole brigade as
| having been destroyed. Others say that 1000 men
have deserted from Schck 10 the Mag
vars. What is certain, carts Of wounded, for three
days, have been continually pouring into PFesburg
and the adjoining places fresh recruitment
throughout all Austria is intended.
A report from the head quarters, which may be
relied upon, says Since the 18Th, the lst army
corps under Gen. Schlick, has been marching upon
Raab The brigade Of Wyss was destined asian ex-
cursive corps to cover Schlick's right flank aud
consisted of two batalions Schonalls, one batta-
lion Hess, battalion Raben, two companies
Of Jagers Of the l4th battalion, three divisions Of
Kaiser Uhlans. one six-pOunder battery, one cav
airy and rocket battery. The brigade had, on the
18Th, advanced TO CzoFna, but in order to cover
the communication with the cavalry brigade Of the
81 army corps at Szerdahely, 10 leave small force
in Mihali and kapnOw, its advanced posts were at
keny and Bagyrk. In order not to divide its
strength, the brigade fOrbOTe 20 occupy the passage
of the Rabnits at Marealla and Egzee A con
siderable column Of MagyaFs, at five on the morn
ing Of the 18Th, debOuched through the former
place, and fell upon the right flank Of the half
brigade. The troops had to defend themselves not
only against the attack Of the enemy, but against
tTeaeheFy. The inhabitants Of CzoFna turned
against them, SO that, oYerpOwered, they fell hack
on St. Janos. Gen. Wyss, who was in the ranks,
covering the retreat of his men, fell, severely.
wounded, into the hands of the enemy.
The only mention or rather aiuson which can
be CLEANED from the Vienna papers with regard to
the great battle reported in private letters have
fel SO fIs. a.,
feat Of the Wyss brigade has given origin to fabu-
lous Tumors. On the other hand, the authorities
maintain that the route Of Wyss was only an cpl
sode of the other battle.
