gitimatist's organ show the tendency of the
Spartan faction, on the part of the Due de
Bordeaux, and give tokens of an extreme
ly extensive organized Legitimatist con-
spiracy.

days, compelled the Imperialists to raise
The siege of Peterwardein and evacuate
Beiski. The troops of the Ban are dispir-
ted by defeat, and being diminished by
sickness, makes no headway against those
who marched South.

er Servia and Bomia. They have been
driven over the Danube into Servia. The

forced TO leave their position at It'll. Gen.
Haynean has gone with the third division
o the support of the Ban. Benz entered
Lamber amidst the acclamations of the
people at the head ofone hundred thousand
men.
