We extract from the Northern papers the most
Interesting portion Of the foreign news brought by
the Hibernia. 1t relates principalIyto Hungary.
and the military movements in that country. i
Movements in He South Of Hungary The intel
iIgence Of the defeat Of Jelachieh has beenfuily
confirmed, and the Wiener ZeitUng publishes an |
official account of it, This account states that the
Ban advanced from Verbasz to Hegyes for the puF-
pose Of attacking the Magyars. He arrived during
the night, and after some success at first he was
oVefpowered by superior force, and compelled TO
FetFeat lighting 70 Kis-ker. The iOrds Of the Theess
At Perlasz and Fodyar were severely attacked
on The same day by the Magyars, but were main
ialned by the imperial troops. This account pro-
eeeds 70 give the Bans loss az amounting to 600
Killed, wounded and missing, and concludes bV
sa{lng that The Bans head quorters are at Ruma.
Oesteneiehische correspondent gives a few
eelallss OF the Bans defeat According 70 this
journal, which gives his loss at zoo men, the Ban
Of Croata learned on the 10th ut., that vast bodies
. OF troops had been forced down upon him. Hede-
termined to retreat to the tableland of TitteI and
to act on the defensive, but first to attempt sur
prise at Hegyes This intention was kept so secret
that the Bans troops had not the slightest idea of
what was to take place. At 6 in the evening Of
the llth they began their march, but two of the
enemy's officers, WHO were captured on the 18th
ult confessed that the Bans intention was already
known in the Hungarian camp.
On reaching Hegyes, where the Ban expected to
meet his enemies all was found 70 be quiet and Il
on sudden some single rockets were observed to
ascend. The very next moment the Bans front
and flank was assaulted by tremendous discharge
of grape and canister from the hidden batteries Of
the HungaFians. A charge was attempted, but all
was in vain, and the Bans army was compelled to
retreat 70 Verbasz, and thence 10 Kis Ker. Here
the exhausted troops, believing that the pursuit
would not be continued, attempted to obtain fO0d
and rest but the Hungarian forces appeared again,
and drove them across the Roman entertainments

10 of which had been passed in hard fighting.
The Vienna papers OF the 18th speak Of private
accounts from the south, TO the effect that the Ban,
feated the Magyars between Peterwardein and
VillovO, or near IT'LL and hadicaptured two Mag
var battali0ns and thirteen guns The Hunga-
riaRs are said to be led by BEN or Guyon.
Later accounts from Vienna state that the Hun
gaFian commander, who defeated the Ban Of Gro
tia's troops is not Gen BEN, as has been supposed
but Gen. Guyon, an Irish officer N the Hungarian
army. Cen BEN, it is stated has taken up a strong
position between BistFez and Klausenberg.
General Position of the Main ATm,es The Mag
vars are going on well. Ii now appears indispu-
table that Dembinskis at the headOf powerful
corps d'drHlee based on the Middle Thesis, and OPP
Grating from the south against the line Of Paskie-
witch, whilst GeoFgey with his back against the
wall Of the Carpathians, fenced Unnecessarily by
these Alpine heights, is assailing the same line
from the north. Inc 0utpOSts OF UemDnSkl are IN
Jas-berenY, Heves and Neu- kata, while those of
Georgey menace the Russian columns between
Erlau and Kashau. Thus nothing can be more
secure than the position Of the Hungarian leaders,
while that of their Russian adversary is in the
highest degree pfecariOus Meanwhile Haynau,
having launched several absurd proeamatiOns to
keep the Resthers from stirring during his absence
marched with the bnik Of the Austrian army, on
the 25th, toward Ketshemet Thus while he
l threatened the left flank Of DembinHlki, his own

on the other side of the Danube by the corps Of
/ Schlick whose OutpOsts are pushed up 70 Stuhl-
| weissenbuTg. Meanwhile, lower down the river
at KalOcza, there is a strong Magyar corps under
] Vetter, which is backed by the victorious troops
| of Guyon in the Baczka, who have just crushed
/ the Ban.
Il The fortress of COmOfn with its strong garrison
and Outaying armies, crppes the efficiency Of the
| limbs Of the AusToR Russian army, and lies like a
great ulcer near Its heart, preventing the flow OF
life toward the exremities. Thus, if Haynau should
get worsted, the obligation of watching Comorn
will prevent him from receiving the proper support
from the Austrian troops behind him. A direction
| givenby Kossuth to the inhabitants Of Pesth when
he withdrew from thatcty on the 9Th inst, is worth
noticing Do not spend your strength" said his
last proclamation, and expose yourselves to de-
struction by useless resistance when the AustTlans
and Russians enter; but, if you should hear Of a
great battle in the neighbOrhOOd of Pesth then let
| every man rise against them" Haynau remem-
bered this when he enforced the disarming Of the
people with threats, the execution of which would
| eclipse Iamerane.
/ On the 18Th Paskiewitch's headquarters were at
| GyoHgyos. The tbird corps, under Rudiger, and
the fourth, under gass, had marched respectively
from their positions at GyongyOs and MiskOlz to-

Georgeg's MaaguUres.- Although the Weiner
ZeitRg has observed, -duTing the last week, pru-
dent silence with regard to all news from the seat
of war; save the distant victories of Luders and
| Grotenhem so difficult to contest, we have to-day
some accounts from an unofficial source concerning
the movements Of GeOrgey. These state that he
entered kaschau on the 22d ult and supply some i'm
portant details concerning his march from Waitzen
which have been hitherto buried in mystery.

l. The garrison dropped all thoughts Of defence, ano
the MagyaTs entered without opposition: Kasohau
| in a strategic point Of view, is highly lmporIan
lspace. On this account it was fortified by Pas
kiewitch, and made the head depot Of the commits
sariat supplies from Poland and Gallica. From
Kaschau, Georgey marched toward the Thesis
which lie was to cross at Iokay and ,larZal. The
Russian dgtachments left on the other bank are
irretrievably lost The Thesis is, as in the past
winter, the line of operations. The road to CALI
cha lies open on one side, and communications are
established on the other with Dembinskl.
