Military Operations IN Hungary in an Anti-Iut
eariaa Point Of Vietc.
The mu!'iiarlous points upon which offensive
ard defensive operations being carried on in
Hungary, together with the rapidity with which
events succeed each other in divers and FAR distant
parts, render 1t extremely difficult to offer dis
tmct description OF the position Of the belligerent
parties, still l.ss of their plan of operations The
following SIX etch may, however, serve to give the
reader a tolerable idea of the converging move
ments of the allied orces UP the latest dates re-
ceived from their respective head quarters. On
referring to the map, 1t will be that the opera
tons extend over a tract of land exceeding six
hundred miles in length from east TO west-that is,
from Presbmg to the confines of Walachla-and
nearly three hundred miles.in breadth from tho
frontier OF Galhcia, by Jordonow and Dukla on the
north, to Peterwardein on the Danube in the south,
not Including Croatia and Slavon ia, the lands of
the Banus This vast theatre of war, brlstling in
every direction with armed mutitudes, and
spangled with fortresses and strongholds, is divi-
ded INTO nearly three equal parts by the Danube
and its largest aluent, the Thesis, and subdivid-
ed into many minor portions by important streams,
such AS the Waag, Neutra, Brave, Save, Koros,
Szamos, Moros &c. All of these, either from their
breadth, depth, and rapdly of current, or from
their scarped banks, or marshy envlrons, offer
strong defensive positions, and render the advance
of enemies, not accompanied by effective pontoon
trains, extremely difficult. The three grand por-
tons of territory above stated, offer, at this mo-
ment, an equal number of distinct lines of often
sive operations Thus, the sections right of the
Danube and Waag, and extending down to Esseg
on the Brave, may be regarded as one, and GER
tainly not The least important; the lands between
the Wane and Danube, and upon both banks of the
Thesis, form the second Transylvanla, with the
Banat behind Orsova, third Croatia, Slavonia,
and the eleven military frontier districts between
the Brave and Save, from Semlin to the Adrafc,
may be considered fourth war theatre, al
though, since the defeat OF Perczets hordes, and
the successful advance OF the Banus upon There
siansadf all these districts have been purged OF an
enemy who marked his temporary presence by
fire, sword, pilage. and wanon atrocities. OF
these, three great divisons-Comorn, Pesh, and
Debreczin- form, did form, the principal plvots
of defence and objects OF assault. Bems corps in

Ing but incapable PeTcze, may be regarded as d.
versions, rather than as links or points dapPui In
the grand defensive chain Although almost every
corner of the lanl may be said to yomit forth arm
ed men, and although the populations have re-
sponded, with blind alacrity, to the appeal OF the
men who have risen 10 power, II ~ IN the centre

20 the Transylvsnian frontier, where the opera
tons may be regarded as having regular military,
and, above all, truly national character. The
features of the country bordering upon the Carpa-
thlans, upon the swamPs OF the Thesis, and IN
Transyv are, on the one hand, only favorable

other, The mixed populations OF the latter, espe-
cially the Szeclers although ferocious and preda-

tlonal stream, which fret washes Professionals, then
bathes Catholics, and at last, rcnouncing Chris
tisnry, lends its water to Moslem additions.
The plan Of attack adopted by the invading
geneIls appears to be based upon the three terri
ioTal divisions above enumerated The assailant
army consists of three grand corps, lauked and
connected one with the other, either by subsidiary
divisions, directed to converge towards a common
centre, ard strictly ordered to more with the ut
most caution, 10 avoid all risk Of being cut up In
detail, and not 10 advance without securing their
rear, or without keeping the most yigllaD look
out upsn lateral communications. The first OF
these grand corps armies IS that 81 the Austrlsns
under IIaynsu, which consists OF the LIST, ID, 3D.,
and reserve corps (Ausfrlan), under Lieutenant
Generals Schhck, Ionck, Motke, and Wohlge
muth, supported by Lieutenani-G General Panutins
division ot Russians, and by Lieutenant-General
Hechiold's division ot cavalry (Austrian). This
amy, acting almost under the eye Of the young
Emperor Of Austria. who was present at the battle
Of Rasb, may be rated at $4,000 infantry, 10000
cavalry, sEd at least 200 feld-pieces, including
rocket brcades. Its object is to drive back on
Pesrh what may be considered as the main Hun.
genan amy. under Gorgey, this army, indie
pepdenily of the garrison Of Ccmon, may be rated
as equal nearly in numbers TO the imperalists.

Danube, on the 9Th, At Pusta- Lowed, near Acs.
