the treacherous Ban OF Crotia, Jellachich, has
been completely defeated by the Magyars under
BEN. 1t appears that BEN crossed the Franzel
Canal at the head OF so 900 men, took the enrench-
mens OF the Croats by storm, and alter series OF
combats which lasted four days, compelled the
imperiasts TO raise the seige OF Peterwardein and
to evacuate the Bacska-The troops of the Ban

Ban has been driven over the Danube into
Syrmia, and the Servian chief, Kinicanim, was
forced to leave his position at Titel. General
Hynau is gone with the third division TO the sup
port OF the Ban. Benz has entered Zombez amidst
the acclamations OF the people, and is now at the
head OF 100 900 men in complete possession of the
south OF Hungary.
From bulletin by Prince Paskiewitsch, pub
lished in the Wener Zletung, we have his YER
sion OF sharp action which occurred on the 18th
at or near Wazen, between General Georgey
and the Russo Austrian Generals Sass and Ram
berg. The bulletin states that on the 18th, the
Hungarian army marched upon WatZen, which
was then occupied by the Russian Mussulman
regiment, which according to former orders, fell
back as the enemy advanced.
AT night Gen. Georgey had secured strong
position before Waitzen, his army being estima.

On the 10th the main body OF the Russian army
was brought up and on the 18th the Russians at
tackled Waitzen, and, notwithstanding desper-
ate resistance, the Hungarians were compelled
to evacuate the town, with the loss OF standards

pursuit it was found that only the rear guard of
the Hungaridns had been engaged and that the

ner OF very disastrous news. From private ac-
counts 1t would appear that Gen. Sass had ad-
vanced to Waltzen on the 18th, and that Gen.
Georgey, marching along the left bank OF the
river, took up strong position near Waitzen
At this juncture, Gen. Dembinski's army OF
10000 men, which had been slowly edging
away from the mining districts, came down upon
Gen. Sass, who was compelled to retreat to Duna
keesn, midway between Waitzen and Pesth.-
The Austrian General Ramberg, hearing at Pestb

tened totheir support, and succeeded in stopping
the progress OF Dembinski's army, which even.
tually tell back upon Waitzen. The BODY of the
Russian army meanwhile came up from Hatvan,
and its strength was brought to bear upon the
hungarian flank and rear, by which means, on
the I1th, great battle took place, which ended
in the discontinue of Dembinski's armv. Geor
gey meanwhile had led his troops TO the North.

forced to retreat to Constadt. Benz was prepar.

Ihe seat OF the Hungarian Government was
transfer ed to Arad on the I4th july: this last
circumstance proves the assurance with which
BEN hopes to deal with the Russians in Transvl.
vania, and on the other hand it confirms the de.
eat OF Jellachich, because if the army of the
South was still formidable the Hungarian govern
lnent would never dare to select the city of Arad
or Its residence, as it would be placed between
two fires.
SARDINIA
The Sardinians, perhaps, with view to favor
tEe HunLarians, have been delaying from day to
day the execution of the treaty OF peace with
Austria, whereby large body OF the Austrian
forces have been compelled to remain in LON
hardy. whilst they might be advantageo em.
pioyed in Hungary. Prince Schwarzenburg has
sent into Sardinia a peremptory demand to sign
the peace in Jour days or the war will be revived.
This sudden step has agitated the French and
English Cabinets, and complexities the pending
disputes The King of Sardinia in his distress
has, it is said, appealed TO the President of France
to arrange the existing difficulties with Austria.
There is report from Paris, said to be founded
upon telegraphic despatch 10 the French Gov.
ernment that the Sardinians have finally accept
ed the terms imposed by Austria. The report.
however, is not fully credited.
