FROM THE CONTINENT.
We have accounts from Vienna To the 2lst
n Jane. which are confused and contradictory.
u Is admitted. however, that Jellachich the Ban
o,CrOrta. has been completely defeated by the
Macyars urder Benz, who, it appears crossed
the Trouse Canal at the head of 30 600 men
and took tie encampment Of the Croats by
storm.
We have the version of sharp action that
took place near Waitsen, between Georgey and
the Austrian Generals Sass and Romberg The
bulletin says that on the 18th the Hungarian ar
my marched upon Waitsen, then occupied by
the Russians, who, according to orders, fell back
as the enemy advanced Atnight Georgey oc-
cupicd a strong position before Waitsen. His
army estimated at ia 900 men, with l20 pieces
of artillery, was attacked the next morning by
the advance guards under Sass, but the artillery
Of the Hungarians foiled every attempt to dis
lodge them.
On the 10th tI'esaain body of the Russian ar
my was brought q z2sS5 on the 18th they attack
ed Waitsen, and a. astanding desperate
resistance the Hunga4 were compelled to
cyacuate the town withS 20 of two standards, ,
cannon, and 500 prisoners. In the course of the
!ursuit it was found that only the rear guard of
the llungarans had been engaged, their main
army having marched to the North.
Private accounts say that Sass had abandon
fl Waitsen on the 18th, and that Georgey march
;ng along the left bank of the river, took up
strong poSition near Watsen. At this junction
Dembinski's army of 40, 900 men, slowly edging
away from the mining district, came down upon
Sass who was compelled to retreat to Duna-
Kenb. midway between Wsitsen and Pesth.-
Gen. Romberg, learning at Pesth of the defeat
Of the Russians, fastened to their support and
succeeded in stopping the progress of Dembin-
skis army which eventually fell back upon
Watson The main body of the Russians, IN the
meanwhile, came from Rontres and its whole
strength brought to bear upon the Hungarians
flank, which led to great battle ending in the
defeat of Dembnski's army. Georgey led his
troops to the North and not to Comorn as was
generally believed. 1t is said that Georgey
will turn off to the East and march to Kais.
ExGLAxD-A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at London tavern TO express public
opinion in regard to the efforts being made by
the Hungarians for independence, and to urge
upon the British Ministry a recognition of the
d fIcio government Of Hungary. 1t is mention
cd ] q slgnlucant TACT L1aC quaker moved tDc
first resolution, which proves that the efforts of
Hungary are fully appreciated and understood,
when they thus overcome the scrupies OF men,
bers of the Peace Society.
FRANcE-Serious diSsensions exist among
the majority of the Legislative Assembly, and
the legitimistS have determined TO recede from
the ranks of the Bonapartists and Orleanists,
and form separate party for themselves. The
articles which of late have appeared in the Le-
gitlmist organs show it. The tendency of this
movement is to unite the factions on the part of
the Due de Bordeaux and would seem to be-
token the existence of an extensively Organized
Legitimist conspiracy.
