VIENNA, October 26.

The exchange of couriers within this fortnight, between Petersburg and Vienna, has been more frequent than ever. It is said that the object is an extraordinary reinforcement of Russian auxiliaries. Besides the Russians already on their march, the court of Petersburg has determined to send 150,000 men against France. A great part of whom are to commence their march in January next.

Of a corps of 60,000 men heretofore spoken of, 24,000 have already arrived in Galicia.

The states of Hungary have again determined to send further reinforcements into the field, if necessary.

The Hungarian nobleman Suwits, alone, at his own expense, furnishes 100 riflemen.

To-day's Court Gazette contains a report of Gen. Melas, from Marozzo, of the 14th inst. respecting the events near Cuneo.

The enemy had the important village Bainette in possession. Gen. Mitrowsky drove him out of it on the 13th, and maintained his position, although the enemy made two attempts to dislodge him. The enemy's total loss is 1000 men—viz. 15 killed, 116 wounded, and 44 missing. A whole battalion of the enemy, consisting of 500 men, was cut off, and 450 men, besides 16 officers, were taken prisoners.
