ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REVIEW.

TO this course it is thought that growing dispo,

Meanwhile the Hungarian General Gorgey,
is adopting the tactics OF Fabius of old, with the
like success Avoiding general engagement
with the unwieldy bulk of the Russian force, he
wears them out with truitless and harassing mar
ches. His activity, discipline, and military skill
are worthy of the great cause OF national indie
pendence The military fame, however, OF the
Hungarian leaders, suffers greatly Fl ON the scan
hness aud partalty of all intelligence from the
seat OF war, coming, as it does, to the rest oil
Europe, by way OF Vienna. 1t is now univer
sally known that all intelligence of the defeats OF
the Imperial lorces is systematically suppressed
at the c.pital, so that the absence of exultaton
on the part OF the Viennese, on account oil victo'
ries, may 7ays be regarded as the admission oil
positive miscarriage. s..-f
Alread the A,gsberg Gazette retracts the re-
port OF the boosted victories over the HungarIans
at Tltel, while the army OF PercZel, which has
been repeatedly reported as utterly destroyed by
the papers OF Vienna, is now admitted by the
same organs TO be 10000 strong. The tone of
the Russian Bulletins is equally changing and
indicative OF no very sanguine confidence, in
telligence has arrived from ConstantinOple oil
defeat of the combined lmperlasts by Gen Benz,
at Ro!herthurm, and stating that this disaster is
severely aggravated by want OF provisions. From
Vienna intelligence is received, dated 10 the 81
inst. that Haynau had destroyed CZongard, anoth-
er Hungarian town, which made some opposition
TO the occupation Of. the Austrian troops. The
punishment for this offence was the instant sack
ing and destruction OF their town by fire.
Amid all The cafamities, however, necessarily

OF war, it daily becomes increasingly clear that
the strategy and ardent resolution OF the invaded
Hugarans is telling with ruinous effect on the
Austro Russian forces In spite OF every attempt
at Justification and concealment, including re-
srictions lately placed on the ingress Of English
men and Americans into Austria, this encoura-
ging fact is daily gaining confirmation. The
funds at Vienna, which may be regarded as the
Imperial pulse, have fallen to 90; while popular
feeling in the capital itself is decidedly hostile to
the oppressive policy OF the Government
OF the very whereabout OF Paskewitch nothing is
known.
This is conjecturally attributed to the obstruc-
ton OF all communications between that COM
mander and Pesth, by the successful operations
oil Dembinskl. A new recruitment of the Aus
tran forces is ordered throughout the empire,
the contingent being fifteen soldiers from every
ten thousand inhabitants. This will increase the
popular Justification, and combine, with diploma
TIC influence from without, TO dispose the gov
eminent to entertain more peaceful dispositions.
Meanwhile, that the Gear may not have his at
tention too little engaged, the Circassians have
seized the opportunity afforded by the occupation
OF SO large Russian force III Hungary, to strike
another blow. A considerable army has assem-
bled, and numerous fortresses erected by the
Russians in the Caucasus, or taken by them from
the CiIcassians, have been retaken and destroy
