At night General Georgey had secured
strong position before WaltZen. His ar
my was estimated at 1000 men with l20
pieces of artillery. He was a, once attack.
ed by the advanced guard Of the Russians
under Gen. Sass, but his powerful artillery
foiled all attempts that were made TO dis
lodge him. The cannonade on either side
was violent, and the Hungarian cavalry ex.
ecuted several violent charges upon the
Russians. The bulletic adds that the Rus
slams recovered their position and subse-
quently captured some arms and prisoners,
But the fact would appear TO be that the
Russians in the first instance relreated to
Duna Keesh, midway between Wailzen
and Pesth.
Private accounts which may be relied
on in contradlstInction 10 the lying bulle-
tins of Paskiewitch, state that Gen Sass
had advanced 10 Waitzen un the l5lh, aud
that Gcorgey, marching along the left bank
of the river, took up strong position
near Waiizen. Al this Juncture, General
Demblnski's army of 10000 men, which
had been slowl y cdging away from The
mining districts, came down upon Gen.
Sass, hO was compelled to II treat TO Duna
Keesh. The Austrian general, Remberg,
hearing at Pesth of the defeat Of the Rus.
SLAMS, left that city, haslened to their sup
port, and succeeded in stopping the pro.
gress of Dembinski's army, which eventu-
ally fell back upon Waitzen. The Aus
trian Commander in chief has advanced
with his main army TO Pesth, leaving the

the division under Gen. Grabb and Schlick
on either bank of the Danube, to lay siege
10 The fortress OF Comorn, while Haynau,
it is expected will march his third division
and reserve TO the succor of the Ban of
Crotia.
Further accounts state that after giving
Paskiewitch the slip on the night of the
10Th, Georgey marched by the Neograd
road, northward OF the Tdlla mountains.
Reaching al Balassa Gyarmath the valley
Of lpoly, he continued his march by the
broad easy road which runs along this riv-
er to lzosonez, and from thence gained
Rima Szombath. Georgey, having baffied
Rudgerss pursuit, proceeded from Rima
Szombath TO Rosenau. He first met the

The garrison dropped all thoughts of de-

opposition, kaschau, in sIragetic point
Of view, is a highly important place. On
this account il was fortified by Paskiewitch
and made the head depot OF the commits
sariat supplies from Poland and Gallcia. -
From kaschau, Georgey marched towards
the Thesis, which he was to cross at To-
key and Tarzal. The Russian detach-
ments left on the other bank are irretriev-
ably lost. The Thesis is, as in the past
winter, the line of operations. The road
to Galicia lies open on one side, and com
muncations are established on the other
with Demblnskl.
Temesvar is reported TO have surrender
ed to the Magyars.
II was reported at Vienna that the Rus
sian reserve army Of 80, 900 men, now IL
GaIicla, had received instructions TO ad-
vance into Hungary. The garrison of
Peterwardein has been relieved, and the
new garrison provided with vicluals for
eight months. The fori6cations too have
been strengthened, so that the fortress is
now again equal to a siege of many months.
The fortress of Arad has also been put in
a state of defence, and the command there
has been given TO Gen. Guyon.
On the 18th inst, the Hungarian armies
held the following position:-G Au
Iich, with Is, 900 regulars and 10000 well
disciplined levies, was at the PIaien Lake;
$4,000 regulars and vast number of lie.
vies were on the banks Of the Waag; 30,-
600 were in and around Comorn. l,em-
binski's force of 40 900 troops and 100000
levies was divided Ia twocorps, ,one of which
was at the foot of the Carpathians. while
the other was united with Georgey's corps
near Ipolyz1gh. There is force of 3d.,
900 regulars and large body of levies un.
der BEN and Perczel, on the banks of the
Thesis, and Bem has left a large corps TO
the defence of Pennsylvania.
