GENIRAL GUYON.

The painful intelllgsscs conveyed to as by the last
Constantinople steamer, and now confirmed by the
telegraph, of the death of General Guyon, will excite
profound grief in this country, where the desperate
gallantry, the generous and loyal character, and the
brilliant exploits of the deceased soldier had attained
for him universal sympathy and admiration. On the
evening of thel2th, this, onset the first cavalry Aeon
(st the day, breathed hie last ; and he, who had passed
unscathed through some of the most sanguinary
struggles in modern history, succumbed in the prime
of manhood to the deadly fangs of cholera. Of the
three noble heroes who fought the last battles of
Hungary, who struggled when all had de-
spaired, and doled for a time the armies
of two empires, one alone survives. Ban, of
glorious memory, passed from this world some six
years back ; the death of Guyon we now deplore, and
then remakes bet Basely to »raiment the glory and
the miefortense of the noble tno. It is rad to relate
that Guyon, at the period of his death, wee languish-
leg under the ingratitude of the Turkish government,
whilst Heasty at this moment awaits alike a reply to
his appeal to Sir William Williams of Bars and a
resegnitioa of his great services by the British
governmest.
Richard Debaufre Guyon, Lieet.-Genetal Count
de Guyon in Hungary, and Kurechid Pasha in the
Tarldsk empire,was born at Walcot, Bath, on the 31st
Meeds.Ull3; be wee the third son of Captain dupe,
of Richmond, Surrey, and was descended from
the noble Languedoc house of Galva de Geis. In his
eighteenth year Richard Guyon obtained a commis.
sirs in tie Austrian army, in Prince Jape A's 2nd
Regiment of Hungarian Homers. Hin eider brother s.
who are still alive, served respectively in the royal
navy and the Indian service. Guyon attained to the
rank of captain in his regiment, and in November,
1838, be was united to Baroness Spleny, the daughter
of Fiald-Marehal Splsey, commander of the Heap-,
rise Life Gouda, and a high dignitary at the seed'
of King Ferdinand. Shortly after his mar.
flap Guyon retired to a large estate paused by his
wife near Pistil, where he gave himself up to tuantry
pursuits and to bunting. The improvement of the
cooditien of his pesseatry, and their religious welfare,
umpbsti a large portion of the time of Gaps. to
little anticipated the ewer which was about Is eyes
to him.

y one of the most gallant spirits ever sent teeth by

Goy= no longer requires the public viodlistien
which his Mends would fain have obtained for his.
No pompons addressee from civic nonentities, no pre-
sentation of swords, no public receptions, were the lot
of the man who could command 10,000 bores as other
"celebrities" have failed to ooinmand 800. Bat in
the hearts of those who knew him, in the regales-
tion of the Hungarian peasant as of the Torkisb
soldier, his memory will never be forgotten. The
personal appeerance of Guyon was striking. His
short but muscular frame betrayed great strength
and activity; hie face expressed resolution and
ewer; his clear sun burnt oomplexion, lighted op
'by piercing blue eyes and encircled by • curling
absent-coloured beard, betrayed his Saxon parentage.
Guyon was a magnificent and gracetal eider, a fine
swordsman, and was insensible to fatigue. He was
of a generous end forgiving disposidoo, and we
know no man whose death will excite deeper regret
than that of Richard Guyon.
