Letters of 12th inst., from arorrespon
tlent in the Papal States, written in fact
from the French cainp, close to the walls ol
Rome, describe the siege operations and
the plans arranged for the final attack
which was to come off in the couise of a
few days. These letters contain ample
details relativo to the position and resour
ces of Genera! Oudinol's army, and of the
probable means of resistunee in the hands
of the triumvirate. It appears quite cer
tain that even when the broach has been
made it will only be tho prelude to a se
cond siege more terrible than the first, name
ly that of the barricades and streets of
l{ome,whieh must be undertaken unless the
Romans yield.
Austria and Hungary. —Our A lenna
papers and letters are ot the 13th instant.
Tho Wiener Zeitnng publishes an official
bulletin of the victory which the Ban of
Croatia has pained over the Hungarians,
and of which mention was made in cur
correspondent's letter of the 12th instant.
It appears that the Ban left Tittle early on
the sth June, and marching ut the head of
eight brigades, horse and foot, advanced to
the Hungarian entrenchments, and pro
ceeded to dispose his troops in advanta
geous positions. On tho 7th, a Hunga
rian army of 13 battalions, horso and foot,
and three batteries, came down upon him,
and in the engagement which ensued, it *9
supposed that the Hungarians fired their
artiliery too high, for none of their balls,
took effect. The Austrian artillery, on the
contrary, did great execution in the Hun
garian ranks, so much so, indeed, that the
Imperialist General, Ettinger, was enabled
to make a cavalry attack, break through
their line of battle, and cause the precipi
tate flight of the dismayed Magyars. Two
of their battalions were literally cut to
pieces. The Hungarians had 500 killed
nnd 220 dangerously wounded ; most of the
latter were sacrificed to tho passions of the
infuriated Imperialists. In short, the loss
of the Magyars, as given by the Wiener
Zeitung, is no less than 1.500 killed, while
so wonderful were the manoeuvres of Gen.
Ettinger, that only tiro I mperiabsts were
hilled and 10 or 12 wounded.
Our correspondent is a at loss how to ac
count for the disproportion of the killed
and wounded in the two hostile camps, and
he presumes with a great show of proba
bility that the Hungarians must have beer,
surprised, and that what Baron Jellachich
calls a battle was, in fart, a butchery—that
is to say, killing without resistance being
offered. We are not, however, unmind
ful of the fact that the ominous number of
"two killed" has often before figured in the
Imperialist bulletins, and that it was made
to cover the loss of thousands.
The Reported Battles. —The rumor of j
tho great battle between liaab and Wei
eenburg is the same as heretofore published.
The other battle between an Austrian brig
ade under Gen. Wyss and a body of Hun
garians, at Czorna is also coufinned. A
report from headquarters says :
Since the 1 3th,lhe general army corps tin
ker General Schliek, has been marching
upon Raab. The brigade of Wyaa was ;
destined as an excursive corps to cover 1
Schlick's fight flank, and consisted of two !
battalions Schonalls, one battalion Hess,
one battalion Baden, two companies of Ja- 1
gers of the 14th battalion, three divisions :
of Raiser Uhlans, one six pounder battery,
one cavalry and rocket battery. The bri
gade had, on the 13th, advanced to Czorna,
but in order to cover the communication
with the cavalry brigade of the 3d army
corps at Szerdohely, had left a small force
in Mihalland Kapnow ; its advanced posts
were Jeny and Bagvrk. In order not to
divide its strength, the brigade forbore to
occupy the passage of the Kabuits at Mare- i
jihn and Egg' g- A considerable column !
of Magyars at 5 o'clock on the morning of
the Ulh. debouched through the former |
place, and fell upon the right ll mk of tho I
half brigade. The troops had to defend
• r
themselves not only against the attack of
the enemy, but against treachery. The
inhabitants of Czorna turned against them, !
o that overpowered, they tell back on St.
Janou. Gen. Wyss, who was in the ranks,
covering the retreat of his men, fell, se
verely wounded, into the hands ol the en
emy.
A letter of the 13th ult., from Cracow,
in tho Bre*!au Gazette, mentiorib an affair
between the vanguard of the Magyars and ,
roe ItoSkiana within 'he Gillician frontier j
nt Jurdanow. The Russian Col. Megden
was killed. Tw?> hundred Cossacko were '
iut off and l iken prisoners. Another let
ter of the 15'Ji, from Cracow mentions, as
a report, an engagement at f'lrig Puss be
tween trie advanced guard of the Russians
and Bern- Tho Russians, numbering
0000, were beaten.
Denmark — the War Progressing -Our
advices from Copenhagen are to June 18.

newed on trie l itli arid loth, but not much
damage was done. At the Sundewitt, 011

some skirmishing.
There is a report here thai the ncgotia
tions are broken off, untl a lavorublc result
as remote as ever. The Dunes are less
anxious about it than t'nev were, for Gen.
l'rittwitz cannot advance further into Jut*
land, without considerable reinforcements,
which can be very ill spared from the in

The Cholera—Dread of its Appearance.
We daily hear expressions of deep-toned alarm
that this scourge will visit I.ewistown, and lay
low in the totnb its quota of victims. It may be
so—it probably will visit us, but why this alarm
respecting that which is not yet here, or if it
will be, may not spread as an epidemic?
Fear, it is well known, has a most injurious
effect on health, and those who indulge in this
unnecessary feeling, may fit themselves for be
coming victims of the very disease they might
under other circumstances escape. For our
part we do not see the necessity of making one's
self miserable on account of cholera. Were it
the only disease that people die of, there would
be some cause for alarm, and some excuse for
weakening the body and mind by 6utiering the
imagination to prey on them ; but as people also
die of other diseases, it is better to cheer up
while life and health are yours, than despond
under imaginary afflictions. Care ought un
; doubtedlyto betaken—exposure avoided—over-
I indulgence in fruits and vegetables guarded
1 against—medicines shunned, unless good cause
exists for taking them—and no sudden change
j in the mode of living adopted. This is about
| all that can consistently be done , and if the
j cholera comes, it will not be your fault if you
do not escape it.
THE DAILY NEWS.
One of our cotemporaries has drawn atten- <
tiori to the fart that this able and influential
whig journal has thus far not received a dollar's
worth cf government advertising. Strange as
it may appear, we believe it is nevertheless
true, ar.d, like in appointments to office, affords j
another illustration of the truth that those who
best deserve to be rewarded and sustained, are
frequently the most neglected No paper in
the State contributed more towards the election
of Gen Taylor—no man in the State worked
harder to further whig jiinciples within the
px-t _:x or soven years, as we know from per
sonal observation, than did John I'. Sanderson,
its editor. The members of the Cabinet cannot
be altogether ignorant ot this fact, or if they
ate, they know but little of Pennsylvania poli- i
tic.., and hence there is no excuse for withhold- |
ing putroiiage where it u not only due, but de
served

In our last, says llie Harrisburg Telegraph,
we published a note lrom the Stale Treasurer,
accompanied by a statement exhibiting the
amount of money drawn from the Treasury
since the 11th of April by the ofheers on the

out said statement, the sum of $29,900 was
omitted, thus increasing the actual amount
paid out to $5334,434 02—or more than FOUR
THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY! as will
be seca by the following note :

Mr. FENS: In replying to your note last

horrid wounds.
A FLAe FOR 'Cossetii.—The N. Y Herald
