NEWS by THE CANADA.

Though published Geographic report of the
chief points OF the news by this steamer, lay
before readers the following digest;
The steamship Canada reached her wharf al
Jersey City on the 24th with remarkable punctu-
atty She entered a little before O'clock a. m
making the passage from Liverpool, whence she
sailed the afternoon OF the 18th, in fourteen DAYS
The Sarah Sands, which left the 9th, came in
also on the Oath about the same hour, having been
out nineteen days. The steamer Cherokee from
Charleston, also made her appearance in company
with the foreign steamers. BY the Canada are
in possession of foreign papers to the latest date.
The news nom Hungary is again provokingly
indefinite and obscure. But the reports are favor
able 10 the right Wilmer & Smiths Liverpool
Times OF the llth quotes under its postscript Vienna
journals of the 9th, by which ii would appear that
the day previous g the Hungarians stole a march,
and surprised the garrison of Raabon the Danube,
miles from Comorn. sharp conflict ensued,
which ended in the fortress and the city being oc-
cuped by the Hungarans where they found $4,000
bushels of oats 400 head of cattle, and large stores
of miscellaneous provisions, which they carried TO
the citadel OF Comorn. Nor were these all the tro
phies of their victory, for they captured SIX guns,
and took two companies OF Austrian infantry prison
ers. Klapka commanded the Hungarian troops,
who afterwards quilted the city Of Raab, and took
up their abode in the fortress, where they seized
the Vienna nails
This if true is one of the most brilliant exploits
of the war. The loss of the Imperial forces must
embarrass them. The Times thus sums up the other
reports from the seat OF war.
We find ourselves inundated with reports from
Hungary, all OF the most contradictory character
We should only confound our readers by reproduc-
ing here the absurd statements which appear in
the London and Paris Journals. As far, however,
as we can trace the operations, il seems that the
Hungarians, under various generals, occupy the
line of the Thesis, and still maintain their position
at Szegedin, which the imperalists have not yet
taken. Gorgey is supposed to be somewhere about
Iokay; statement places him at Nemethi-
szathInar, which satisfies us that no authentic ac-
count exists of his precise position. The same I'M
certainty prevails respecting Benz in Pennsylvania
of whose operations absolutely nothing certain is
known We decline here 10 repeat the tables about
the inroads made into Turkish Modavia, they
would only mslead our readers.
''The general impression made upon our minds
from the desultory, contradictory, very crude state
lnents which come from Vienna is, that the Hun
garans are concentrating their forces along the
Thesis, with such disposition as to check the add
vance of the enemy, avoiding pitched battles as
to weary out the allies, who find it necessary to
bring into the field all their spare In this
way it is very possible that the Hungarans may
protract the war till winter in, when their
mics must put end to the campaign
sup to this period the Hungarians maintain their
positions far better than could have been anticipated
1t is very probable when the Austrans discover that
with the aid of the Russians they do not succeed in
queng the 'insurrection,' and perceiving also
the feelings expressed in England in favor of the
Hungarians, they may be induced TO offer terms of
peace Although sucha disposition in the Austrian
cabinet is peremptorily denied to exist we should
by no means DC surprised at SuCD result. venice
still holds ont bravely in days of yore The
Austrians aboring to establish new battery of
heavy artillery at San Guilano. Fever prevailed
among the Austrian troops, and the bockading
squadron had notified that French and English ves-
sells should not enter the harbor."
Letters from Constantinople, of 25th ultimo, say
that courier from Galatz had brought news that
the Austro- Russian army, sixty thousand strong,
which, after it had compelled the Hungarian gene
RAIL- Perczel, TO retire, and had occupied Cronstadt
and Hermanstadt had advanced as far as Sarcam,
had been met by BEN, with forty thousand men.
The latter gave immediate battle TO the Imperial
lists, who under Luders The battle COM
menced on the 10th by astratagetc movement on
the part of Benz, by which he cut off the left wing
of the Austrian army, attacking the right and left
the same time and compelling 1t to fall back on the
centre. General Benz, seeing the disorder of the
enemy's lines, ordered the to advance,
which, by determined and gallant charge, decided
the day in favor of the Hungarians. The Imperial
lists took TO flight, leaving the field ten thousand
dead and wounded, nearly all the artillery, and
5000 prisoners, among whom is General Autem-
berg General Benz then repossessed Cronstadt
and Hermanstadt.
In Galicia, General Dembinsk has also had
victory and taken General Freytag prisoner.
These cheering reports constitute the sum OF the
latest intelligence, and cannot be fully relied on IN
the absence of more specific and authentic ac-
counts
The Treaty q Peace bet,oeen Ausbia and Pied
mont was signed on the 9th instant at Milan. A
partial amnesty was proclaimed at Milan ON the
9TH This is unfortunate for the Hungarians since
il will enable the Austrian army under Radetsky
to leave Sardinia and join the invaders.

There Is a report that Gsribaldi had defeated a
large Austrian corps which attempted to arrest his
progress He had, ii is said laid down his arms in
The little republic of San Marine, and claimed the
protection Of that republic. The Austrian COM
mander at Bologne refused this surrender, and sent
off forces Ia put him down. Garibald, however,
had been Joined by great many Hungarians, and
Rmni had pronounced fayorably Ia him.
