DETAILS BROUGHT By THE NIAGARA.
THE HUNGARIAN WAR

THE HUNGARIAN WAR.
The details furnished by the English papers
to the 25th ult., we regret to say, are of char
ligence of the Hungarian army, which was COM
municated by telegraph. The London Times of
the 23d August commences a leading editorial
with the following summary ofresuts:
There can be no doubt that the Diet in Hun
gary has received a death-blow. A great por-
tion of the army of General Georgey so we learn
from a despatch of General Haynau-has sur
rendered Internationally at Arad to Marshal
Paskiewich. II is needless TO say that this is
but the beginning OF tie end. The successive
surrender of the other Hungarian corps is but
question OF days aad of detail. We lad never
anticipated any other result to the struggle
from the moment Il became clear that the Pow
ers CT Wsstern Europe declined to take Gny sha:a
in ihe contest, and that the Car Of Russia was
exerting his utmost strength to bring back iIuD-
gary TO the dominion of the Cabinet at Vienna
Short Of miracle, il was impossible that the
wild lcvies Of the Hungarians should continue
TO resist the organized massed arrayed against
them.
The following remarks are from The London
Tines OF tbs Gath.
In spite OF the aEdoubted courage and the
3
the Hungarian iHsqrrection, careful examina-
ton OF the operations ofthe campaign and a
rect appreciation Of the real ioreee 0. Hungary
lad long since LETT &c doubt as 20 the final re-
suit. The gFea: victory OF General Haynau at
the battle OF TenosYaP, fought in The neighbor-
hood of that city on the 10Th inst, and the sub
mission Of General GeoFgey at the head Of his
entire division, haze appeared 20 give an abrupt
termination 20 the struggle, but in realty, both
these events we're The results TO which ihe whole
plan Of the campaign 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 Georgey
and the principal forces of the Magy4Fs was OBJ
yously cut off.
That general manRuvered with great skill
and rapidly, SO as to avoid general action with
a superior force; he harrassed 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 bass, and with no means OF procuring
supplies except those lac took from the enemy.
Iac submission OF EIs corps was therefore inev-
table We know not how far political consid-
erations may have contributed TO this result
Georgey was known 10 entertain opinions strong
~ opposed TO the revolutionary schemes of Kos
suth, and though 40 one has fought more gallant
is said to have retained strong feeling Of re-
gard for that empire and that army, against
which lac found himself almost casually arrav-
ed.
Mere soldiers Of fortune and foreigners like
Dem5enski and BEN, were Of course prepared
to fight 10 the last extremity, aud the instiga-
tors of the revolution, la;e Kossutk, cosid have
no hope but IN resistance; but the military chiefs
Of the Magyars, like Georgey, kIapka, and
Neesaros were connected with Austria by
very different ties, and the tme will come when
they will again serye IN defence OF the empire
as manfully as they doae for their native king
dom. The probability 50, therefore, that in
surreRderiRg at Villages, Georgey yielded not
only 10 4 necessity Of war, bat 10 a conviction
that the cause Of the Hungarian revolution
could no longer be defended without desruc-
ton 10 both the contendiTg parties.
The following, TO the same purport, IL from
the London Chronicle Of the Isl:
