FROM ROME AND HCNGA-
.RY-SUccEss OF THE HUNGARIANs.-By the
steamer America, which arrived at New York
ON the 10th instant, we have seven days later
intelligence from Europe. The accounts from
Hungary, which, in the Geographic dispatch
are confused and unsatisfactory, fuller advl-
ces prove 10 be very favorable to the brave
Hungarians, who, in two instances, have been
able 10 worst their invaders and break through
their lines. Although the struggle is almost
desperate, we should not be much surprised
were they yet TO prove victorious, and succeed
in driving both Russians and Austrans from
the field. sea

The Hungarian War-We have accounts
confused and, !" one zist o. ts
howosor. that Geilachich, the treacherous
Ban of Croatia, has been completely defeated
by the Magyars, under BEN, who, it appears,
crossed the Trouse canal at the head of $4,000
men, and took the encampment of the Croats
by storm. After series of contests, which
lasted four days, they compelled tie Imperial
lists TO raise the siege of Peterwardeln, and
evacuate the Braska. The Ban, dispTited by
defeat, and diminished by sickness, could
make no Roadway against those who were
marching from the South. The lmperialists
fear that BEN will succeed in entering Servla
and Vonia. The Ban has been driven over
the Shamble into Servia. The Chief, Knicka-
dim, has been forced to abandon his position
at It'll. Gen. Haykau has gone, with the
third division, 10 the support of the Ban. Gen.
BEN entered Zomba amidst the acclamations
of the people, at the head Of 100000 men.
The instruction in the South of Hungary
is complete, being announced in bulletin
published by Rinie Paskcwich at Getting on
the Weiner We have his version of sharp
action that took place near Waltsen, between
Georgey and the Austrian Generals Sass and
Ramberg. The Bulletin says that on the 9Th
the Hungarian army marched upon Waitsen,
then occupied by the Russians, who, accord
ing to orders, fell back as the enemy advan-
ced. At night Georgey occupied strong po-
stion before Waitsen. His army, estimated
at 1900 men, with 100 pieces of artillery,
WIS attacked the next morning by the advance
guards, under Sass, but the artillery OF the
Hungarians forbid every attempt to dislodge
them The cannonading on both sides was
severe. The Hungary cavalry executed
number of violent charges on the Russians.
On the 10th, the main body of the Russian
army was brought up, and on the 18th they
attacked Watson, and notwithstanding des-
perate resistance, the Hungarians were COM
PEELED to evacuate the town, with the loss of
two standards, two cannon, and 500 prison
ers. In the course of the pursuit it was found
that only the rear guard of the Hungarians
had been engaged, their main army having
marched TO the north. Gen. Ramberg, with
cavalry, was despatched in pursuit.
Private accounts say that Sass had aban-
doned Waitsen on the 18th, and that Georgey
marched along the left bank of the river and
took up strong position near Waitsen.
At this juncture, Dembinski's army of 49,
900 men, slowly edging away from the mi
ming district, came down upon Sass, who was
compelled to retreat to Duna-Keph, midway
between Waitsen and Pesth.
Gen. Hamburg, learning at Pesth of the de-
feat OF the Russians, FASTENED TO their support
and succeeded in stopping the progress of
Dembnski's army, which eventually fell back
upon Waitsen.
The main body of the Russians, in the
meanwhile, came from Rontres, and its whole
strength was brought to bear upon the Hun
garian flank, which led to great battle, end
ing in the defeat of Dembinski's army.
Georgey led his troops to the North and
not to Comorn, as was generally believed. It
is said that Georgey will turn of to the left,
and march to Kais.
The Austrian commander in chief had adj
vanced with the main army to Pesth, leaving
one division in the island of Huh. The d.
visions under Cable and Schlick are on either
bank of the Danube, for the purpose of laying
siege to the fortress Comorn.
A large and enthusiastic meeting has been
held at London tavern 10 express public opln-
ion in regard to the efforts being made by the
Hungarians for the achievement of her indie
pendence, and to urge upon the English Min
istry recognition of the de facto government
of Hungary 1t is mentioned as significant
fact, that Quaker moved the first resolution
which proves that the efforts of Hungary are
fully appreciated and understood, when they
thus overcome the scruple of members OF the
Peace Society, who, in their speeches, instead
of using expressions of sympathy, boldly pro
pose to aid Hungary by taking up arms agains
Austria The meeting become highly excited
and rose as one man, shouting the yell o
war. The petition adopted by the meeting
was laid before Parliament, and elected al

Austria aud Sdrdinia-The Sardinians
with the view, probably, OF aiding the Hun
garians, have delayed the execution of tn
treaty OF peace with Austria. thereby keeping
the Austrian troops in Lombardy. Schwart
Zenburg, suspectiDg this, demanded a peremp
tory treaty of peace from Sardinia, giving fou
days time. The Sandman King has appeaIe
