tricts, came down upon General Sass, who was
compelled TO retreat TO Duna Keesh, midway
between Wailzen and Pesth.
Tho Austrian General Ramborg, hearing at
Posh of the defeat ofthe Russians, left that city,
fastened to their support, and succeeded in stop
ping the progress of Dembnskl's army, which
eventually fell buck upon Wailzen The body
of the Russian army meanwhile came up from
Havan, and its strength was brought to bear up
on tho Hungarian flank and rear, by which
means, on the 17th, great battle took place,
which ended in the discontinue Of Dembinski's

Sdrdinid.-The Sardinians, perhaps with
view to favor The Hungarians, have been de-
laying from day to day the execution Of the trea-
" of peace with Austria, whereby large BODY
OF the Austrian forces have been compelled to
remain in Lombardy whilst thoy might advanta-
geously be employed in Hungary. Prince Sch.

wise the war will be revived. This sudden step
has agtaed tho French and English Cabinets
and complexities the pending disputes.
The King OF Sardinia, in his distress, has, it

arrange the existing difficulties with Austria.
There is report from Paris, said to be founded
upon Geographic despatch TO the French Gov

however, is not fully credited

world that the ancient glory Of Italy has not de-
parted forever.

there, until after the uccouchment of The Queen

will afterwards proceed to Rome, in the full and
unrestricted possession of both temporal and
spiritual authority; and that the priesthood n

past misfortunes resolutely refuse all concessions

paid, but is reported that Russia has agreed to
lend his Holiness ten millions without interes.,
the principal to be paid at the rate of half mil
ion annually.
The American Consul at Rome had not re-
sumed his functions since the outrage committed
