The Hungarian War.
We have accounts from Vienna to the 2lst of
June, which are confused and contradictory. II is
admitted, however, that Jelachich, the treacherous
Ban of Croatia, has been completely defeated by
the Magyars, under Benz, who, il appears. crossed
the Trouse canal at the head Of $4,000 men, and
took the encampment of the Croats by storm.
After a series of contests which lasted four days,
they compelled the Imperialists to raise the siege
of Peterwardein, and osacuate the Braska. The
Ban, dispirited by defeats, and diminished by sick
ness, could make no Roadway against those who
were marching from the south. The Imperialists
fear that Benz will succeed in entering Servia and
Vonia The Ban has been driven over the Sham
BILE into Serva The Chief, Knickadim, has been
forced to abandon his position at Tit General
Hankau has gone, with the third division, to the
support Of the Ban. General Benz entered Zomba
amidst the acclamations of the people, at the head
of 100 900 men.
The instruction in the south Of Hungary is
complete, being announced in bulletin published
by Rinie Paskiewich at letting on the Weiner. We
have his version of sharp action that took place
near Waitsen between Gorgey and the Austrian
generals Sass and Ramberg. The bulletin says
that on the 18th the Hungarian army. marched
upon Watsen, then occupied by the Russians, who,
according to orders, fell back as the enemy ad-
vanced At night Gorgey occupied strong posi-
ton before Waitsen. His army, estimated at A. 900
men, with 40 pieces of artillery, was attacked the
next morning by the advanced guards, under Soss,
but the artillery Of the Hungarans forbid every
attempt to dslodge them. The cannonading on
both sides was severe. The Hungary cavalry ex-
ecuted number of violent charges on the Russians.
On the 10th the main body Of the Russian army
was brought up, and on the l7th they attacked
Waitsen and Notwithstanding desperate resist
ance the Hungarlans were compelled to evacuate
the town. with the loss of two standards, two can
non, and 500 prisoners. In the course of the pur-
suit it was found that only the rear-guard of the
Hungarians had been engaged, their main army
having marched to the north. General Ramberg,
with cavalry, was despatched in pursuit
Private accounts say that Sass had abandoned
Waitsen on the 18th, and that Gorgey marched
along the left bank of the river and took up strong
position near Waitsen.
At this juncture, Dembinski's army Of 10000
men, slowly edging away from the mining district,
came down upon Sass, who was compelled TO re-
treat to Duna-Keph, midway between Waitsen
and Pesth.
Gen. Hamburg, learning at Pesth Of the defeat of
the Russians, fastened to their support, and sue
ceeded in stopping the progress of DembInskI's
army, which eventually fell back upon Waitsen.
The main body of the Russians, in the mean
while, came from Rontres, and its whole strength
was brought 10 bear upon the Hungarian flank,
which led to great battle ending in the defeat of
Dembinskis army.
Gorgey led his troops TO the north and not to
Comorn as was generally believed. 1t is said
that Gorgey will turn off to the left and march to
Kas
The Austrian commander-in-chief had advanced
with the main army to Pesth, leaving one division
In the island of HUH. The divisions under Gable
and Schlick are on either bank of the Danube, for
the purpose of laying siege to the fortress Comorn
large and enthusiastic meeting has been held
at London tavern to express public opinion in re-
gard to the efforts being made by the Hungarans
for the achievement of her independence and 10 urge
upon the English ministry recognition of the de
facto government of Hungary 1t is mentioned as
a significant fact that Quaker moved the first re-
solution, which proves that the efforts of Hungary
thus overcome the scruple Of members of the Peace
Society, Who in their speeches. instead of using
pressions Of sympathy, boldly propose to aid Hun
gary by taking up arms against Austria The
/ meeting became highly excited, and rose one
man, shouting the yell of war The petition adopt
ed by the meeting laid before Parliament, and
elected an interesting debate upon Hungarian af-
\ fairs.
Austria and Sardinia.
IT,. S.-d;r;.o. x,;,h a.. no, .,, mocha H., of "a
ing the Hungarians, have delayed the execution Of
the treaty of peace with Austria, thereby keeping
! the Austrian troops IN Lombardy. Schwartzen-
burg, suspecting this, demanded peremptory treaty
of peace from Sardinia, giving four days time.
The Sandman King has appealed to the French
President to settle the difficulties. The telegraphic
despatch received in Paris stating that SARDINIA had
accepted the terms Of Austria, is not credited
Venice.
The prolonged resistance Of Venice says the
Times whose glorious defence against overwhelm-
ing numbers has added another page Of splendor to
her history, has shown the world that the glory Of
this ancient city Of Italy has not departed forever
France.
Serious divisions exist among the majority of the
legislative assembly, and the egitimiss have deter
mined to recede from the ranks Of the Bonapartis
and 0rlesnists and form separate party for them
selves. The articles which Of late have appeared
in The egitimIss' organs show il. The tendency Of
this NOV, ment is to unite the factions the part
of the Due de Bordeaux, and would seem to betoken
the existence Of an extensively organized legtmist
conspiracy.
Italy.
II is announced that the troops who recently re-
ceived orders TO embark for Italy, and were recalled
after the announcement OF the surrender Of Rome,
to be emb rked for their original destination
The French government has received despatch,

and order and tranquility prevail. All public acts
are rendered IN the name Of the Pope, he continu-
ing at Gaeta; bat beyond the fact that he will re-
main there until after the accouchment Of the
Queen Of Spain, nothing seems to be known. II
is said he will afterwards proceed to Rome fully
clothed with both temporal and spiritual authority,
and that the priesthood around him, having learned
nothing from past misfortunos, resolutely refuse
concessions to the popular party
Nothing ~ said as to how the French army IL to
