the plan. If we might be permitted to offer a some-
time, we would strongly urge apes Lord STANLEY
gad hie friends the propriety of opposing the bill with
all their fords—that is, with, all their feebleness. Let
them be inured that before all Clings it is necessary
that a political party owes it to itself to be consistent.
And our worthy friends the monopolists, having
enlisted under the banner of "all in the wrong"'
will hardly find it safe to be found without notice in
the ranks of popular right. To maintain their indi-
vidualit , there is nothing for them but to object to
that promises health or happiness to any
section of the people. Monopoly is their shibboleth,
and here is an open and undisguised attempt to in-
fringe upon the monopoly of land. Consistency
.in
folly and infatuation demands that they should resist
it to the uttermost. The somewhat diplomatic speech
of Sir Joint WALSH on Than day night furziohes
grenrd of exprotation that his party will prove them-
selves upon this, as they have done on every former
occasion, true to themselves.

ANA, Arm 20.
The last reports from the seat et war in Hungary
confirm with mere and more distinetness thevictorions
advance of the main army of the Magyars on all
sides, and of the corps operating in the south and
east. After the fearfully skunkings beetles at
Man and Gyiiegyels, the details of which are pre-
sented in the 27th army-bulletin cf Dembinksi to the
President of the National Defence oonnittee,Xessiith,
the left wing, under Wiadischgrats, after two days
of continued fishting, was driven back by the right
wing of the Hungarian army under Gorgey from
Belau, through Oyeingyek and Hatvan, to the walls
of Pesth : so that two days after (ou the 7th and Bth)
Gorgey's head-quarters were in Oodollo and Aszod.
Meanwhile, the right wing of the Austrians, com-
manded by lellashith, was out off by the Hungarian
left, under Vetter, from Peeth, and communication
with the main army; and after a battle,in which six or
seven thoniandA Grecians wire left dead on the field,and
3,200 were taken prisoners, so completely was this
corps broken up and ailated that the Ban, whom
the Magyars already supposed among their captives,
with the greatest difficulty saved himself wit% the
wreck of his followers on the other bank of the
Danube. Twenty-six canna), innumerable ammu-
nition waggons, arms, and furniture dell sorts, were
the trophies of this day ; while at Eden and Gyon-
pas 18 cannon and two stint of colours fell into the
Gads of Gergey. Dembinski's bulletin, clear, de-
slake, and devoid of pretension as to style, wears the
stamp of truth; and its report is confirmed by the re-
sult. For the test the Pesth news tells of the drop-
ping in of ekes soldiers from Jellachich's corps, dead
beat with fatigue, wounded, without arms or kit;
and how overjoyed the people were to see the Ban,
whom they supposed lost, return through Ofea, and
therefore from the right bank. Then the recall of
Winclischgratz and a host of generals, as Nobili,
Rousseau, AVibut, Deym, &c., kdicates a great de-
feat, and complete failure of operations. Lastly, the
army-bulletin of the Prince Marshal, in which he
gives 50,000 as the number of troops under his com-
mand at Path, is the most unmistakable proof of the
immense looses of the Austrian army, which, accord-
ing to another of the same commander's own bul-
letins, issued at the end of the preceding month,
counted 92,000 men strong, as it advanced from
Perth in three directions eastward, forming a bread
semicircle. Therefore the km in killed, wounded,
prisoners, dispersed, deserters, sick, and generally
bore-do-combat, must have amounted to 42,000;
which rum, enormous as it look', is in all pro-
bability not above the mark of the troth, when
the prodigious slaughter which marked the
fights is taken into account, together with the
fact of Jellachich's corps, which consisted of 28,500
men, being totally annihilated. The position of the
two armies after these battles was as follows :—The
left wing of the Hungarians, under General Vetter,
was posted at Smokes, leaning against the Danube on
its left, and to the right on the centre, under Dem-
binski, which lay immediately before Peath on the
Rakosfeld, and extended to the vineyards on the hill
slopes along the road to Giidollo. The right wing
under Gorgey and Klapka stretched along the amphi-
theatre of hills from Gi3dollo and Assad to the
Waitzen-road. Therefore, the plan of Dembinski,
developed in a previous letter, to move the three main
army-corps in converging directions upon Pox*,
where they were to concentrate and unite, has been
carried out with complete succese.
The defeat, which is reported in the Vienna papers,
of Penni by Kniczsnin at Zitel, seems about as pro-
bable as the recapture of Waitzen by the Austrians.
But iron were it true, the main operations would be
very slightly affected by such a reverse. The crow-
ing of " Lloyd" over the recovery of the whole
Banks, in consequence is perfectly ridiculous, while
the forts of St. Thomas. Peterwardein, and Zombor,
remain in the hands of the Hungarians.
