THE HUNGARIANS.-The military operations of the late Hungarian campaign amply deserve, and will doubtless obtain a closer and more complete examination than could be given them during the rapid progress of the war, with the imperfect and contradictory information which reached us from that distant and unfrequented part of Europe. They were unquestionably marked by the largest movements of troops, the strangest vicissitudes of war. and, we fear, by the greatest loss of life and property, which have occurred since the terrific contests which accomplished the overthrow of Napoleon.— They brought into the field forces which must have amounted to nearly half a million of men ;hostilities were carried on with equal energy and sometimes with doubtful success, at all points of the compass, and at a distance of some hundred miles, from the frontiers of Syrmia to the Carpathians, and from the valley of the Waag to the eastern part of Transylvania.—English Paper
