HUNGARY.

The full details of the news brought by the Cam
bria plnce the affairs of the Hungarians in less
favorable light than the Geographic abstract did,
The most hopeful of the friends of the Magyars
have reason to dread lest they be crushed beneath
the power of Austria and Russia. The present
contest commenced during the past winter, by an
almost Simultaneous invasion Of Hungary, by Win
disgratz and the Ban, from Vienna, and the mill
tary colonies on the Turkish border. The former
captured Pesth, and by the latter almost all the
strongholds were either seized or invested After
series of contests, however, the Austrians were
every where driven back, and the Hungarians
were triumphant-Austria openly confessing her
self incompetent to subdue the insurgents. The
Russian Emperor came to the assistance of Aus
trial. with 1000 men, on the pretext that, if the
revolution was successful the contagion could not
fail to extend to his own States. The Russian
auxiliaries were divided into five separate corps
The first of these, under Panutin, composed Of
nearly 10000, crossed Morava to the Danube,
and reinforced the Austrian army, at the head of
which is Haynau, and enabled it at once to become
an assaant. Paskiewitch, at the head of 100 900
men, adva nced through Gallicia crossing the Car
pathian mountains, and proceeded to the head
waters Of the Thesis, and forced every thing from
its way until it reached the old capital of Hungary,
(Debreczn,) which surrendered at once, and thence
proceeded to Buda-Pesth, which was also taken
possession of.
Gen Luders at the head of an army, the num-
bers of which are not defined, southeast of the
place where Paskiewitch crossed the Carpathians,
surmounted the same range and moved to Cron-
stadt, which he occupied. Two other armies, UNI
der Grabbe and Soss, crossed the mountains from
Western Galcia, penetrated the Slorack country,
and now threaten the Danube. The above are the
forces of Russia. In the south of Hungary, the
Ban was left besieging the Magyar fortress of Pc
terwardein, which commands the passage of the
Danube into Turkey.
The President, Kossuth, has gone in south
eastern direction from Buda-Pesth to Czegled a
city of the Magyars, in the great Hungarian plain.
The march is TO be continued to Szegedin on the
Thesis. Many battles have taken place between
the main Hungarian army, of Gorgey, $4,000
strong, and the Allied army, under Haynau,
100000 strong. The Hungarians, though the al
lies have lost more men, seem to have lost ground,
or at least have obtained no decided advantage.
The geographic despatch sent just before the sailing
of the Cambria, says that Dembinski had effected
union with Gorgey; that Kossuth had returned
to Pesth, and that BEN preparing to attack the
Russians at Szegedin. The New York Tribune
looks on the Hungarian leaders having COM
mitied fatal error in attacking Paskiewitch be-
fore he joined the other corps, and forms an I'M
favorable augury therefrom of the success Of the
campaign But time will show.
