vEsIcE il apparently at the last gasp Of her
gallant resistance, and the next steamer must
bring the news OF her downfall The negota-
tons between SARDINIA and AUSTRIA continue
suspended. FRANCE remains in the repose OF mar
tial law and muzzled press. In HOLsTEIS the
Danes have gained considerable advantages. In
IRELAND death is still busy. Smith o Brien and
his companions have at last set sail for British
penal colony.
But BUssARY is now the country which absorbs
our attention, and from that quarter the inte-
gence is almost too good to be true 1t is, briefly,
that Dembinski has attacked the Russian General
in-Chief Prince Psskiewtch, in the dehles be
tween Miskolcz and Erlau, and totally defeated
him. though bis army was much superior in num-
bers. What makes this doubtful is, that it it is
published by Belgian journal of no great prom
inence, and we do not yet know what credit ia
given TO it in Germany, Paris and London; on
this head we shall, however, be better informed
when our papers arrive. On the other hand the
intrinsic probabilities are in favor of its truth. At
the last previous advices the Russian army, which
had entered Hungary by the Dukla Pass nearly
central point ia the northern range OF the Car
pathians, had come down the River Tarcza, a trib-
utary of the Thesis, passed Eperies, and had
reached Kaschau, on the road toward Pesth.-
Ksschsu is some eighty English miles from the
frontier by the usually travelled route. The next
place to Kascbau of any importance on the way
to Pesth 10 Mskocz, about fifty miles distant,
city containing usually more than 90, 90 inhabt-
ants, and next beyond this is Erlau, fifty miles
further to the southeast and not much more than
fifty miles from Pesth. Now between these two
places, Miskolcz and Erlau, the road winds quite
out Of a straight direction down toward the south
east partly along another tributary of the Tneiss,
called the Sajo, aud having come into the vicinity
Of the Thesis itself. then turns into the mountains
to regain its true course. Near that turn the bat
tie 10 said to have taken place at point no doubt
chosen beforehand by the Hungarians. whose
perior knowledge Of the country must give them
great advantages over the invading army.
Two or three facts especially concur to render
such battle probable. la the first place,
have for some time past heard nothing from Dem
binski and had no intlmations OF his whereabout
Ii was known that he had charge of the northern
frontier and that he had rihing force under his
command, yet he allowed Paskiewitch to cross
the boundary without resistance, though resistance
might have been employee to good purpose in the
Dukla defes. But here the knowledge of the
plan which the Russians and Austrans had form
ed for the campaign which we know the Hungar
aias possessed could very well stand him in stead
Being sure of the route Paskiewitch was to fol-
low he could select the best place to give him bat
tie without any fear of his moving OFF in another
direction. and might naturally prepare for him at a
spot where, as at Thsrmopy ln.-a broad marsh
stretched IN front of difficult mountain pass. aud
u Aying enemy could have escape but in its iata
depths.
In addition 10 this our readers will remember,
that last week brought accounts of the retreat of
the Hangarians from the line OF the Waag and the
surrender of the fortress of Raab without blow
in its defense, though the same army, Gorsey's,
had but shortly before made very effective de-
monstration at Pered Why should Rssb then he
surrendered Because Gorgey had sent the
flower of his army to sustain this grand operation
of Dembinski. In confirmation OF this we hear
that Raab is no " retaken by the Hunsarians. the
force diverted TO act against Paskiewitch having
returned and made offensive operations again
possible in that quarter, where Gorgey has COM
mand.
Such are the reasons for refusing and for giving
credence to this exciting news: our readers will
Judge for themselves, until next week when We
cannot fail TO know decidedly about it possibly
even our latest German papers may clear up all
doubts.
The story Of Jellachich's victories in the South
of Hungary turn out like his victories generally to
be fabrications. On the other hand it is doubtless
true that the Russians have forced their way into
Trausylvania in two colamns-one by Borga Pass,
penetrating westward by way Of Blstric, the other
by Pa" near Cronstsdt, which city they have
occupied. There is nothing alarming in this. They
have been their before and have been driven out
again, and they have no friends among the people
o the region.
But In this war, strongly az our sympsthies
must be interested for people who not only de-
fend the Just cause bu, defend it 90 manfalv. we
must not think all is ended by single victory on
either side. 1t is true, at least in our Judgment,
tina, Russia has not many more soldiers to send
nm, If bar own territories to make good defeats
