War I'm Hungary.
Intelligence from the seat ofwar in Hungary is of
| the most disastrous kind. The Hungarians have
| been defeated at all points. The precise details
and circumstances which led to this unfortunate
and unexpected result cannot be fairly ascertained
from any accounts that are within reach, but the
Hungarans have been forced to lay down their
arms aud submit, Internationally, to the Russian
forces. The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times under date of August 10TH says that OFF,
|
stadt gives the particulars of what has taken place
in the southwest of Pennsylvania since the 4th of
August, at which date General Luders was at Gal
walda. After Bems defeat on the 3lst at Schar-
brag, he proceeded towards Medzyes, which he
reached on the Sd, with force offs 900 men and
enteen guns. Having been joined at this place by
auxiliary corps from Claurenburg, consisting Of
1000 foot 500 horse, and twelve guns, he proceed
ed towards Hermanstadt.
General Harsford, who had been left with six
battalions and eight guns, and $500 Cossacks to
| protect Hermanstadt, had gone to Reissnekt and
Lunnenbark, where he gained victory the
Hungarian General Steinall. This having been
made known TO General Luders by his scouts, he
foresaw that Benz would fall upon Harsford and
! probably drive him into Waachia, and then take
possession of Hermanstadt Nothing remained to
| be done, therefore, but ~ pursue Benz with all
| speed. Before, however, Luders could overtake
him, he learned that Harsford had actually been
attacked and driven from his position, and after
murderous battle in the streets of Hermanstadt, in
which he had many killed and wounded, had been
obliged to retreat. On the 9th General Luders's
army stood before Hermanstadt, six battalions of
the enemy, with 500 hundred horse and eighteen
guns, occupying the neighboring height.
considerable force had been left in the city, and
| the remainder of the army had gone in pursuit Of
Harsford. A battle ensued, which ended in the
complete route of the Magyars, who lost 200 pris
oners and IA guns in this battle, whilst they also
had GOO killed alrd 900 -oe-.a~S H. n..------,
including the loss sustained by Gen. Harsford on
| the 5th had 800 killed and wounded.
These battles produced the most dispirting effect
| among the Hungarians. Many of them threw
away their arms, and sought refuge in the woods,
whilst others came over TO the victors.
| The Vienna accounts, by way Of Warsaw, dated
| August 10, state that the Hungaria Diet, having
surrendered its power Gregory, dissolved itself
A meeting, including Kossuth, Gorgey, and Benz,
subsequently took place at or near Frad, at which
II was determined at once TO put end to the war
which was az sanguinary as il was considered use
! less.
Gorgey, addressing. the council, protested that
he had no hopes for The cause Of Hungary. That
all resistance in vain, and that nothing but ut
ter ruin would attend the prolongaton of the strug
gle. The party, headed by kossuth, Benz, and
the leading members Of the Hungarian Parliament
had nothing left but 10 hasten Ossova; and il IL
even stated that they have already entered upon
| Turkish territory.
Gorgey surrendered TO Prince Paskiewitch short
ly after, under but condition, IL condition il
can be called and which that the prince should
intercede with the Austrian emperor for himself
his troops, and his country.
A Vienna letter states that the number Of troops
which surrendered with Gorgcy were about 2, 700
men and guns. Another letter from Vienna, dated
l7th published in the kolner Zeitung, states that
| NJ. kossuth intended 10 hold out to the last. He
has published proclamation announcing the trans
! fer Of his government from Arad 20 Ossova, where
he " now protected by the Hungarian army from
the Baisk.
The Russian papers publish the following letter
from Prince Psskewitch
To his Imperial majesty the Gar Of Russis-Hun-
gary il now at the feet Of your imperial majesty
The government Of the insurgents have transmitted
their power 10 GOrgey, and Gorgcy, the chief army
insurgcnt, takes an unconditional surrender 30 the
Russian army. His example will doubtless be- fol
lowed by the other insurgent leaders.
The corps Of officers whom be sent 10 capitulate
offered 10 proceed with without Austrian com
missioners 10 the other bodies Of insurgents TO in
duce them 10 surrender. | have the fortune 10
inform your imperial majesty, that Gorgey's only
condition 10 surrender was 10 be allowed 10 lay
down his arms 10 your majesty's army. Gorgey ]
keep at your imperial majesty disposal
n (Signed) PAsKiEwITcB.
It's the pretty general opinion at Vienna among
the ardent friends Of Hungary, that Gorgey has
proved himself traitor, and has yielded 20 the
golden srgumentso Of the Russians. kossuth's wife
and family IL IL said. have fallen into the hands Of
the Impcrialist troops.
