The Hungarians continue to advance. They are said to have 
already made incursions into Styria (near Furstenfeld on the Raab), 
into Moravia (near Friedland on the Jablunka) and Galicia (near 
Raycza on the Moravian border). On the 29th Raab was still in the 
hands of the imperial troops; since then it is thought to have been 
abandoned. Pressburg was fortified by the imperial troops; accord- 
ing to some reports it has already been evacuated. 

In the south, the imperial troops must be in a bad way. They are 
said to be evacuating Fiinfkirchen, between the Danube and the Drava. 
Jellachich’s corps, it now appears, was completely scattered, and two 
regiments of Croats were taken prisoner and put into the ranks of the Hon- 
veds. A report also mentions the encirclement and capture of 
Simunich. 

Bem’s troops are really in the Banat, near Lugos and Karansebes 
and are threatening the fortresses of Arad and Temesvar. 

The rumours about the expansion of the Magyar army are 
beginning to assume fantastic proportions. They say that 250,000 
Magyars are under arms. While Gorgey was fighting Wohlgemuth 
with a force of 45,000, 18 battalions attacked Jellachich, and in 
addition to this, Dembinski’s corps, the strongest of all, has not been 
in action since the battle of Kapolna. Guyon and Klapka are now in 
command at Raab. The Hungarian Assembly has been convoked for 
May 10 in Pest. The Russians, 8,000 strong, are said to have entered 
Cracow.
