End of the Hungarian Struggle.
SUMMING UP OF TIE NEWS.

The great victory of Gen. Haynau at
the battle of Temesvar, fought in the neigh
borhood of that city on the 10Th inst and
the submission Of Gen Georgey at the
head OF his entire division, have appeared
to give an abrupt termination to the struggle;
but in reality both these events we're, the
results to which the whole pan of the cam
paign obviously tended. From the moment
that the advance of the main body Of the
Russians had secured the line Of the Upper
Thesis, the communication between Geor-
gey and the principal forces OF the Mag
vars was obviously cut Off That General
maneuvred with great skill and ropidlty,
so as to avoid u general action with q
superior force; he harassed the rear Of the
Russian army, and made more than one
attempt to cut his way TO the South. But
although these operations ranged over a
considerable extent Of country, they could
not end otherwise than they have done.
Georgey was acting without any regular
basis, and with no means of procuring
supplies except those he took from the
enemy. The submission Of his corps was
therefore inevitable. We know not how
far political considerations may have con-
tributed to this result Georgey was
known to entertain opinions strongly OPP
posed to the revolutionary schemes Of
Kossuth, and though no one has fought
more gallantly than he has done for the
national cause, he is said to have retained
u strong feeling Of regard for that Empire
and that army against which he found him
sell almost casually arraYed
Mere soldiers OF fortune and foreigners,
like Dembinski and BEN, were Of course
prepared to fight to the last extremity, and
tie insligators Of the revolution, like
Kossuth, could have no hope but in resist
ance; but the military chiefs Of the Mag
yars, like Georgey, Klapka, and Messaros,
were connected with Austria by very
different ties: and the time will come when
they will again serve in defence of the
Empire as manfully as they have done for
their native kingdom. The probability is,
therefore, that in surrendering at Villages,
Georgey yielded not only to necessity of
war, bu, to conviction that the cause of
the Hungarian revolution could no longer
be defended without destruction to both the
contending parties. ...
The blow which had already been struck
on the 10Th by the great victory of Haynau
at Temesvar, was, however, even more
decisive. The district, lying between the
Thesis, the Maros, and the Danube had
long been marked out as the scene of the
last decisive battle The advance of Pas
kiewitsch to Groswardein, Of Luders on the
east, and Of Haynau upon Szegedn, had
narrowed the insurreclion to that point;
and even there the Austrian garrison Of
Temesvar, under Gen. Rukowina, still
held out against the mes. violent attacks.
BEN had arrived at the Magyar position on
the 9th, and Immediately took the chief
command Of the national army. He was
attacked on the following day by the In
perial forces, which had pressed on with
extreme rapidity after the battle Of Szoreg,
near Szegedin; and in spite Of the strength |
Of the ground, the Hungarians were routed
by the main body of the Austrians, sup
ported by one division of the Russians un
Ter Panutine. Towards the close of the
o1ttle Prince Lichtenslein's reserve division
arrived, by good fortune, by the Arad road
md completed the defeat Of the enemy.
t is probable that after these tremendous
blows kossuth and the Poles will effect
heir escape across the Turkish frontier,
md all organized resistance may, we hope,
,e considered at an end.
In spite Of the violence of this conflict,
Ind the absolute triumph which appears to
AVE crowned the efforts of the Imperial
Irmies, it is NEST earnestly to be hoped that
he Austrian Government will dismiss
very feeling Of irritation towards the de-
Gated party, and proceed to re organize
he kingdom of Hungary, on terms which
nay revive the loyalty and good feeling of
hat important portion Of its dominions
We have constantly maintained that there
ave been throughout this insurrection two
artes in Hungary; the one revolutionary,
he other not revolutionary, but national;
le former has, we trust, been annihilated,
le latter has rights which no defeat can
face, and its national character and spirit
onstitute one of the brightest jewels in the l
nperial Crown. !
