Since the departure Of the last mail steamer, on
Saturday last from Liverpool events of high political
importance have occurred in Europe
THE HUNGARIAN WAR.
The extraordinary development given to the insur-
reeton in Hungary, had, for some time given rise to
serious alarm but the advantages stated to have been
gained by the Magyars regarded rs exaggeratons
Their ranks, however, swellei continualy-the Poles
arrived in large numbers from all parts Of Europe and
the kernel of the Hungarian army consists Of 600
Poles, accustomed to desperate fighting and Italian pa
trots and insurgents Of Vienna of last October all

STATIONS made before Pesth, had set out by great
round IpolySagh for Leya with view to raising
the siege of Comorn The five brigades collected on
the Wsag under the orders Of General Wohlgemuth
had meanwhile proceeded to the Gran which enabled
him to deploy his troops, eager for battle on the space
lying between these two streams-an excellent posi-
tion u.s. while Weighs brigade is disposed
between Kornend, Koboekur, and St. Peter. This
movement would be followed up by suitable attacks
over against Pesth and atzen supported by pruden-

The war in Hungary has lately assumed a character
which must be distinctly Observed In order to arrive
clear notion Of events in that country past and to
come.
After the imperial army, in the months Of December
and January last had occupied, by series Of trium-
plant Victories the western portion Of the territory
and taken possession Of the capital the belief gained
ground that the affairs of the kingdom would be ad
5usted in a peaceabe manner and with that object In
vew the attention of the government was primarily
directed to the restoration Of the administrative
power That hope has, however, turned out forlorn
one II Is true the establishment Of material order
cation was not effected and the time slipped by in the
vain eort-tme well employed by the enemy, who set
every engine of revolution at work to increase their
power and draw from all parts Of Europe accessories
to their schemes. numerous and well appointed
army opposed to u.s. and 1t Is no longer disputa
bic that on the battle field alone the fate OF Hungary
must be decided This truth is acknowledged by the
imperial government and the generals OF the army and
from the present moment the government IN hungary
takes its stand q military basis alone. The foe must
be fought beaten and destroyed till this happens all
other must be treated of secondary impor
lance To accomplish this, 1t is necessary to concen-
trate all the forces of Emperor those points that
present themselves most fitted for that end accord
Ing to strategcal calculations 1t stands to reason
that while these preparations going the indvi-
dual and separate movements cannot be made known,
and that In the middle Of marches and counter mar
the events of each day cannot be reported Our
patriotic fellow citizens may in the meantime console
themselves with the that brave army am
ply provided with the materials OF war ana led oy

the of the country; and that the determination
to uphold free great and united Austria, anmates
the monarch and his councillors, alike with the chief
populations of wide realm and that the convulsve
