The Hungarian Struggle, SITUATION OF AFFAIRS ACCORDING TO THE NEWS BY THE Last STEAMER. [The accounts from the seat of war in Hungary, Brought by the steamer last week, stated that the Hun- gerian General, Georgey, entered Kaschua, in the north, on the 22d July, after defeating the Russian General Sass at Jasso; that General Paskiewitch, the Russian @ommander-in-chief, had experienced a check between Gyongyos and Erlau, and had been obliged to retire; that the Hungarians found in Kaschua 30,000 articles of military equipment; that the corps of Generals Dem- Dinski and Georgey were in communication, and the two Russian armies cut off from their base of opera- tion; that the cholera was making frightful ravages in the ranks of the belligerents, and the Russians suf- fered greatly from the heat; that the fortress of Te- mesver,in the south, had surrendered to the Hunga- thane, who had likewise entered Semlin, in Sclavonia, on the Danube, the possession ef which town made them mas- tere of the line of the Danube from Essegg to Orsova; that Bem was in Transylvania, opposed to the Russians ‘ander Luders and Grotenhielm, who had been beaten by him, and he had taken up his line between Bistrits and Clansenburg; that the new line of operations se} Dected by the main Hungarian army was along both banks of the Theiss; and that while Paskiewitoh, with his army, is placed between the Hungarian forces of Georgey ond Dembinshi, Haynau, the Austrian com- mander-in-obief, leaving Grabbe (Russian) and Sohlick (Austrian) on either bank of the Danube, to lay siege to the fortress ofComorn, had, with his forces, marched to ‘the relief of the Croatian Ban, Jellachich, who had been ccmpletely routed by the Hungarians under Perezel and Guyon. This was the position of affairs acoording to the intelligence brought by the Hibernia The advices, an- nexed, brought by the Canada, continue the narrative of events.—Ev, Henarv.) SITUATION OF AFFAIKS ACCORDING TO THE NEWS BY THE CANADA—TRERIBLE BATTLE IN TRANSYLVANIA TRIUMPH OF BEM—ATTACK ON RAAB, AND ITS CAPTURE BY THE HUNGARIANS, ETC. As far as it is possible to trace the operation and po- sition of the contending armies, from the confused and conflicting published accounts, it seems that the Hun- garians were, at the latest accounts, occupying the line of the Theiss, and that they still maintained their po- ition at Sregedin, on the Theiss, near the Moros. Georgey is supposed to be somewhere about _Tokay, ® Tittle to the southwest of Kaschua, but there ds no euthentic account of hid precise position, The #ame uncertainty prevails respecting Bem, in Transyl- ‘vania of whose operations there are a great variety of The London Daily News, however, gives currency to the following, on the strength of » correspondent, who seys that a courier from Galats brought the news:— The Austrian and Russian army, sixty thousand strong, after occupying Hermanstadt and Cronstadt, 4 other rmali places, advanced to Sarkany. Bem OlMected forty thousand men and | againet them, ‘Phe battle ended in @ complete d of the [mpe- riaHste. They fied precipitately, leaving ten thou- sand dead avd wounded, nearly all their rd) and ht theurand prisoners, among whom was Gen’ Aulem . Bem then took possession of Hermanstadt and Cro . The European Times, of the 11th inst., under the bead of the “ latest intelligence,” rays, that the Vienna journals of the 5th inst. supply them with news from Hungary of great importance, if true. ‘It appears that on the dth instant the Hungarians stole a march, a1 irprised the garrison of Raab,» Uittle to the southeast of Comorn. A sharp conflict ensued, which ended in the fortress and city being ocou- pied by the Hungarians, where they found eighty thou- sand bushels of oats, twenty-four hundred head of cat- ‘tle, and large stores of miscellaneous provisions, which they carried to the citadel of Comorn. Nor were these — all the trophies «f their victory; for they captured six guns, and took two companies of Austrian infantry prisoners. Klapka commanded the Hungarian troops, who afterwards quitted the city of Raab and took up heir abode in tho fortress, where they seized the Vi- enna mails, Raab is about one hundred English miles trom Vienna. interesting from Switzerland, OPENING OF THR FRDERAL DIET—THE REFUGRES— THREATENED TROUDLE WITH FRANCE, RTC. RTC. ‘The letters from Berne, of the 2d inst., announced ‘the opening of the session extraordinary of the Federal Amembly on the preceding day. It approved unani- mously the levy of the troops which had been made.— ‘This probably refers to the raising of an army of sixty ‘thousand men , to preserve the neutrality of the Swiss territory, advices of which eame by the last steamor. The question of the refugees was referred to ® com- mittee of seven members. It will be recollected that the Baden revolutionary leaders t66k refuge in Swit- serland, and were ordered to leave, at the request of Prussia, Austria and Russia. The quarrel respecting the violation of the Swiss ter- ritory by some Baden troops, is said to have been ar- ranged. It is reported that the French ambassador has made ghe following communication, on the part of his govern- ament, te the I'rcsident of the Confederation:— He advised the council to terminate , aa promptly as possible, and at any price, the differences which have arisen between Germany and Switzerland; that they need not reckon on any assistance from france; and that France ees with @ispleasure the armament that has been ordered, as that measure gives @ fresh aliment to revolutionary spirit, and produces useless agitation, One of the letters from Berne, of the 84 instant, mentions that Gen. Dufouf has published an address to the troops under bis command, in which he tells them that their duty for the preeent is merely to guard the frontiers; but that should » foreign enemy violate their territory, he is confident that the sons of old Helvetia will prove that they have not degenerated from their aneewstora. According to this, Switeorland is likely te be drawn intothe war, Itis better that she should fight, than to be dictated to by the despots of Europe. Tho French Republic. STATEMENT OF THE MINISTER OF FINANCE —THE “REPUBLIC” DEEPER AND DEEPER IN DEBT—THE TOUR OF THE PRESIDENT—THE REPORTED ATTEMET TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT IMPERIAL— SPRECH or THE PRESIDENT — ITALIAN AFFAIRS — RECALL OF GEN. OUDINOT—RUMORED CHANGE IN THE MINIS- TRY, ETC., ETC. The advices from Paris are of the 9th inst. On the 3d inst, the Minister of Finance laid before the Assembly a statement of the treasury for the last ten years, showing that there has been a constantly in- creasing deficit during that period. From this exposé it appears that the revolution of 1848 added 265,000,000 francs to the expenditures, whilst, on the other hand, it reduced the proceeds of the indirect taxes 154,000,000 franca, the 45 centimes additional not covering the de- ficit. The real deficit of 1849 will be 184,000,000 franos. The total deficit on the 1st of January next, will be 550,000,000 franos, or about £21,000,000, or $110,000,000, ‘The expenditure of 1850 will be 1,690.000,000 francs, and the receipts are estimated at 1,270,080,000 francs, leaving | 8 deficiency of 320,000,000 francs, including the tax on potable liquors. To meet all these difficulties, the | minister, M. Pasey, demands a new loan of 200,000,000 | franca, about £8,000,000, or $40,000,000, and asks leave | toannul the reserve of the Sinking Fund; to reim- | burse the tax om potable liquors in another shape t to create other taxes; and for carrying on the public | works, to have power to issue treasury bonds te the | extent he may require. In the Assembly, on the 6th, there was a lengthy and exciting debate upon Italian affairs, M. Favre and M, de Tocqueville were the principal speakers, Both these gentlemen were very brilliant and effective, and were warmly applauded by their respective parties. M. | Favre seems to have assumed Ledru Rollin’s position, as leader of the opposition. At the conclusion of the debate, a division took place, when there appeared a vote of 428 for the order of the day. pure and simple, against 176—majority for ministry, 252, Tho President has returned to Paris from his visit to the Loire. He will next attend the opening of o: or two lines of railway connected with Strasbourg and | Lyons, and then visit Havre and the northern provinces. The rumor relative to a meditated coup d'état, to | change the face of the government, has reached such a | height, that, in his speech to the people of Tours, the Prosident refers te the subject. He says:— It is pretended in Paris that the government medi- tates some enterprise similar to the 18th Brumsire Are we, then, in the same circumstances? Ha‘ foreign armies invaded our territory? Is France torn war? Is the law without vigor, and the government without force? No! We are not in a condition to necessitate such heroic remedies. Some of the French journals insist that the visit of the President to the western provinces was s failut and that his reception, although warm, was not en- thusiastic; and that, in fact, that part of the country: | at least, is not ripe for an imperial revolution, whatever | it may be for a change to a monarchy. | Asa sign of the times, it is announced that a new po- | litical journal will appear in Paris on the 20th of Sep- tember, and that it will represent the opinions of the extreme legitimist party. It is to be conducted by M. Cratineau Jolly. Col. Edgar Ney is to leave Paris to-morrow, for Rome | and will be the bearer of despatches, appointing Gen. Rostolam commander-in-chief of the army in Italy, in| the place of Gen. Oudinot. The cause of General O.’s recall, is said to be his inability to work in harmony with the Pope, who has always looked upon him with suspicion, The rumor of » change of ministry is very general to_ day. It is now said that M. Mole is to be Prime Min- ister. Count Mole bad a lengthened interview with the President of the republic yesterday, | 4ntcresung from Italy. AFFAIRS IN ROME—TRE POPE'S COMMISSIONERS— DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS BY @ARIBALDI, ETC. ‘Tho latest intelligence from Rome is to the 30th | ult , at which time nothing final had been decided upon, and things remained in mostly the same state, so far as the papal government is concerned, as they were on the day General Oudinot entered Rome. ‘The commissioners, named by the Pope, had arrived at Rome, and commenced proceedings by dissolving the whole of the Roman army, even the troops which bed remained faithful to the Pope. There is « report in France that Garibaldi had de- feated a large Austrian corps which attempted to arrest his progress. He had, it is said, laid down his arms in the little republic of San Marino, about forty square miles in size, and claimed the protection ef that repub. jic. The Austrian commander at Bologna refused this surrendor, and sent off forces to put him down. Gari- valdi, bo had been joimed by a great many Hun- garians and many of the people of Rimini, a town | of Romagna, who had pronouneed favorably to him, and thie resulted in the defeat of the Austrians. Sardinia, . THE TREATY OF TRACE WITH AUSTRIA—SETTLEMENT OP THR DIFFICULTIES, The Paris correspondent of the London Chronicles | south writing under date of Thursday, the 9th inst.,sayn:— Be Particulars of the manner in which tho final settlement of the amnesty question between Austria and Sardinia took place, are yet known, beyond the fact that it is mot precisely” in the terms wv | spoken of. The and important fact is, that the prace bes been ultimately signed. Now, Austria can march her Italian army under old Radetsky to Hungary, and we shall probably have an opportunity of ascertaining whether he can conquer as easily when opposed by Georgy or Bem, as when op- pored by Charles Albert. Venice. THE REPORTED AID PROM AMERICANS—THE CITY STILL HOLDS OUT. ‘The Siécle, of Paris, gives the following announce- ment, which it looks upon as important:— “We have received information thet three United States ships entered Venice, with money and provisions for the berieged. Veniee still holds out bravely.” ‘Tuscany. THE RETURN AND BRILLIANT RECEPTION OF THE GRAND DUKE TO HIS DOMINION.

The fol- lowing day her Majesty and suite disembarked, and proceeded to Dublin by railway, where she wae the guest of the Lord Lieutenant until Friday, when the party returned to Kingstown and embarked for Belfast, ‘The reception of the Queen at Cork, Kingstown, and Dublin, was flattering and enthusiastic in the highest degree, The wild, clamorous shouts of her Majesty's Irich subjects were, it is said, a sound never to be for- gotte ‘The cholera continues constantly on the increase, | The deaths in the London district—which, by last | week's advicer, were 783—reached 026, There were 578 cases on Wednesday, and 263 deaths; on Thursday, 689 | cases, and 245 deaths. | In Manchester and the neighborhood, some addi- ticnal cases are reported, but the manufacturing dis- triets upto this time have been happily epated from the scourge.

Consols for money and account closed on Thursday at 927% ; yesterday, they touched 93, Exchequer bills are quoted at 46 to 48 premium. From the weekly returns of the Bank of England it appears that the stock of bullion in the bank is now about fourteen millions and a half sterling, having slightly decreased during the past few wee! ‘The quantity of gold and silver imported during the last six months, has not been less than six millions aterling. The London Morning Chronicle quotes American stocks without comment, as follows :— Panis, Tuunapay Eveninc, August 9, The funds opened to-day at an advance of }4 per cent on yesterday.

Livenroo, Saturday, August 11. Every department of trade continues in « healthy state. There has been rather less business going forward in the produce markets during the last few days, but prices are well supported and the markets upon the whole wear a very cheerful aspect. Throughout the week there has been an active do- mand for cotton, anda large attendance of the trade, | who have purchased freely; and holders having shown less disposition to meet the demand at previous prices, buyers have had to pay { to \{d. advance on Ameri- | an descriptions; the extreme advance is most conspi- uous in middling and lower qualities. ‘The Havre cotton market at last advices was calm, | but prices were well supported. Harvest operations have commenced under favorable auspices, and advices from different agricultural dis- tricts speak well of the crops as giving good promise of abundant yield throughout the kingdom. The grain markets, therefore, have been s good deal depressed this week, and at the close ef business yesterday most descriptions exhibited a declining tendency. Indian eorn is in rather better domand, ewing partly to the depressed prices, and partly to some reports dur- ing the last few days of potato rot. The iron market is steady, and prices, if anything: are rather improv ‘The manufacturing districts are actively employed and there is a good demand for both cotton and woollen goods.
