Cologne, April 27. Today is Kossuth’s birthday; the leader of the 
Hungarian revolution is 43 years old today.? 

Today an official royal imperial Bulletin (No. 35) already confirms 
the reports of Hungarian advances which we published this 
morning: that Wohlgemuth has been defeated, Pest and Ofen are 
taken, and Komorn is relieved.* It is now established that the 
Hungarians have already passed not only the Gran and the Neutra 
but even the Waag, and that Wohlgemuth has been driven back to 
Tyrnau, five miles from Pressburg. Altogether only four comitats in 
Hungary are still in imperial hands, and on all sides it is conceded 
that on Hungarian soil not a single defensible position 1s left to the imperial 
forces. 

Great excitement prevails in Vienna. The people throng the 
streets as in the revolutionary days of last year. The military, 
usually so impudent, have again become remarkably restrained. 
Vienna is waiting for the Hungarians to cross the Leitha to effect its 
fifth revolution,” a revolution which will not be simply an Austrian, 
but simultaneously a European one. 

~ Eljen Kossuth! Eljenek a Magyarak!?
