The daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1848-1851, 1849-08-17

The Baltimore papers which came through yes
ierday, have dispatches Of the Americas news.
They are fuller, so far as regards Hungary and
Italy, than those we have previously published.
HUNGARY.
The Hungarian Wdr-We have accounts from
Vienna to the 2lst Of June, which are confused
and contradictory. Ii is admitted, however, that
Jellachich has been completely defeated by the
Magyars, under BEN, who, it appears, crossed the
TrOuse canal at the head of $4,000 men, and took
the encampment Of The Croats by storm. After
series Of eombats, which lasted four days, they
compelled the Imperalists to raise the siege Of Pc
terwardein, and evaeuate the BFaska. The Ban,
dispirted by defeat, and his troops diminished by
sickness, could make no Roadway against those
who mera marching from the South. The lmpe-
ralsts fear that Benz will succeed in entering Ser
via and Bosnia over the Save into Servia. The
Chief, Knickadim, has been forced to abandon his
position at Ttil(D. Gen. Haynau has gone, with
the third DIVISION to the support Of the Ban. Gen.
BEN entered Zomba (Somharl) amidst the accla-
nations of the people, at the head Of l00,0O0men.
The instruction in the South Of Hungary is
complete, being announced in bulletin published
by Prince Paekiewitchln the Wiener Zeltung. We
have his version of sharp action that took place
near Waiisen, between Georgey and the Austrian
Generals Sass and Ramberg. The bulletin says
that on the 10Th the Hungarian army marched upon
Waitsen then occupied by the Russians, who, ac-
cording 10 orders, fell back as the enemy advanced
AT night GaOrgey occupied strong position before
Waitsen. His army, estimated at A 600 men, with
100 pieces Of artillery, was attacked the next MORN
ing by the advance guards, under Sass, but the
artillery Of the Hungarians forbid every attempt to
dislodge them. The cannonading on both sides
was severe. The Hungary cavalry executed
number Of violent charges on the Russians.
On the 10th, the main body Of the Russian army
was brought up, and on the 18th they attacked
Waitsen, and notwithstanding desperate resist
ance, the HungaFians were compelled TO evacuate
the town. with the loss of two standards, two can
non and 500 prisoners. In the course of the pur-
suit il was found that only the rear guard of the
Hungarians had been engaged, their main army
having marched to the north. General RambeTg,
with cavalry, was despatched in pursuit.
Private accounts say that Sass had abandoned
Waitsen on the 18th, and that Georgey marched
along the left bank Of the river and took up
strong position near Watson. At this juncture,
Dsmbinski's army Of 10000 men, slowly edging
away from the mining district, came down upon
Sass, who was compelled.tO retreat to The Duna-
keph, midway between Waitsen and Pesth
Cen. Ramberg, learning at Pesth Of the defeat Of
the Russians, fastened to their support and succeed
ed in stopping the progress of Dembinskis army,
which eventually fell back upon Watson. The
main body Of the Russians in the meanwhile came
from ROntFes, and its whole strength was brought
TO bear upon the Hungarian flank, which led to a
great battle, ending in the defeat Of Dembnski's
army.
Gsorgey led his troops to the North and not to
Comorn, as was generally believed. IL is said that
Georgey will turn off to the left and march to Kais
q. The Austrian commander-n-chiefh had advanced
with the main army TO Pesth, leaving one division in
the island Of Huh. The divisions under Cable and
Sehlick are either bank Of the Danube, for the
purpose of laying siege to the fortress COmorn.
ITALY.
II is announced that the troops who recently re-
/ ceived orders to embark for Italy, and were re-
| called after the announcement Of the surrender OF
| Rome, are to be embarked for their original des
4 tination.
