was tremendous, and the Russians were borne
down and compelled to yield before the terrible

are spoken Of as the most brilliant achievements
/ on military record. Paskewitch dispatched cOuri,
ers to Pesth for aid, and the sudden appearance Of
| Gen. Ramberg, who hurried up at the head of a

rians in the flank, thus causing diversion IN favor

Pesth, in which city it seems report was spread

day were commanded by Dembinski, GeOrgey; and
