THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1849.

The Ames now tells us that the Magyars, how-
ever brave and skilful soldiers, are by no means in-
dustrious or progressive citizens, and therefore re-
commends the withdrawal of English sympathy
from them. That which stamps them as a rotrogs
people in the opinion el the Times is—what think
ye ? It is, " that they have made woof their consti-
tution to resist taxation • ! Ezactly ; the Magyar
has done what Hamrnaie did, and he earns for this
the malediction of a British journalist !
No, indeed, the Hungarians are not citizens—they
are farmers, kept in Tagalogs and ignorance by the
most despotic and stupid government which ever
existed, that of Austria; which forbad trade, industry,
the amassing or employ of capital—which prescribes'
education, informatics), freedom of religion or
thought. Austria has thus sat like a nightmare upon
Hungary, and the Times lavishes ate adulation upon
Austria, and condemns the Hungarians as non-prltra-
o-
gressive. Such °old, and false, and perverse u
Toryism as this we do not think could be found
throarhout the whole range of the European press.
The Wiener Zeitung itself would be ashamed of it.
Just as amusing are the criticisms of our cont.m.
pant on the military eperations of the Hungarian',
whom it timely blames for not having largely taken
the offansive, rushed over the Carpathians into
Moravia, or advanced to the siege of Vienna, at a time
when Russian divisions were pouring down by every
commi of the railroad from Cracow. One should
I think that after the proofs we have had, we might
allow the Hungarians to know something of their
own military affairs, of what they can do, and what
they cannot attempt.
Oar accounts of the late operations of GEORGES',
and of the Russian and Austrian corps opposed to
him, have necessarily been from Austrian sources.
Thera we must give, as the latest on the subject, the
Hungarian accounts arriving much later. But it is
only on the receipt of these, that the march or aim of
the military movements become intelligible.
The late engagements proceeded from a determina-
tion of GEORGES'S to check the advance of the Aus-
trian and Russian right wing, which menaced to turn
the Neasiedl lake.
He accordingly marched across the Waag and Da-
nube to operate in person a diversion. }idling in
with the Austrian brigades of Joni' and TIIBISSINCI at
Oalantha and Altaho-Szeilly on the 20th and 21st,
he routed them ; but on their being reinforced by
liar Nati and the Russian PANINTIN, he retired in good
order across the Danube at Fcrkuht, succeeding in
his object, which was to prevent the relief of the Aus-
trian right. This was consequently driven back, the
Hungarian left occupying the important point of
Oedenbuig and turning the Neturedl lake.
The capture of Oedenburg, erroneously stated at
an earlier period of the war to have been occupied by
the Hungarians, brings them into the immediate vi-
cinity of Wieneriech-Neustadt, a chief arsenal, and
must check the advance of the Russia-Austrian ar-
mies upon Raab. Such are the Hungarian accounts;
whilst the Vienna journals, on their part, boast the
arrival of their troops at Papa far, indeed, east-
ward of Oecienburg. But this, as well as of the
vaunted succe R
sses Of the ogan. on the Wasg, we
beg as yet to mistrust altegether.
In the north of Hungary, after lout preparations
at Dukla, a large Russianarmy, under raSKIEWITCII,
has crossed by the four adjacent roads of Dale,
Kommuns, Grab, and Isby, leading to the small
plain of Bsrtfeld, beading
the long series of defiles
through the mountainous country which, extending
as far as Kuehl*, merges at length into the great
plains of the Theiss. This army, reported to amount
to 144,000 men, we are credibly informed little, if at
all, exceeds 60,000. DEMBINSKI, with a force of be-
tween 25,000 and 30,000 men, occupies the moun-
tainous district, with strict Ceders not to risk a
pitched battle, bat only to defend the passes, and ha-
rass and annoy the enemy by every device.
This road, it is true, leads to the very heart of
Hungary and to Debrecain and Grou ' wardem seats
of the reserves, the arsenals, and Magyar strongholds.
Bat it must be remembered that these northern
Carpathians are not a mere mountain wall which,
once carried, at whatever oust, becomes only a
convenient gateway, bat extend for many days of
march, with valleys innumerable to harbour the
defending force, even after a partial passage had been
forced, and calculated, in a word, to prove for Hun-
gary. what the Basque Provinces have been to
Spain. When crossed, it must be with sufficient
horse to make head against the splendid national
cavalry which doubtless will advance with the
reserves from Debrecain, to give battle in the great
plaiH owns.
can so much cavalry—can the balky stores
required for man and horee—be conveyed in safety
throngh such a country, so defended, and which as-
sineWy—as when retreating before WINDISCIIGRATZ
—the Magyars will lay waste ? Or is it likely that
PASKEWITCII will be able to push forward, when his
army—u in every probability it will—has been
reduced to the condition of DIZBITCII'S when de-
scending from the Balkans upon Adrianople ?
In Transylvania, which HEM entirely occupies, his
army numbers about 50,000 men. Two Russian
armies, each of 25,000 strong, are said to be, one ad-
vancing on Bien* by the easy pass of the Pojani-
Stamp', the other approaching Cronstadt. But at the
dates assigned, it has come authentically to our know-
ledge that neither of these corps d'armies, *Gush pre-
paring then to invade, had yet actually crossed the fron-
tier. Brat is prepared to give both a warm reception,
and the army of reserve about Debreczin and Orem-
wardein disposed to act concentrically, can march to
support either DEMBINSKI or Base, u occasion may
require. It would seem, therefore, only in the event
of both being overpowered, and of the simultaneous
successes of the Basilan arms, that the safety of
Hungary in the east could be seriously endangered.
In the Banat up to the Turkish frontier, all the
snug places, and in &lawn* Peterwardein, and
Illermats are cccupied by an Hungarian army under
PIIResEL, against whom for some time put • &sai-
-1 "TY value has been carried on by TELLACHICII,
Iwho recently has been reported to be advancing in a
Inorthwesterly direction as far as Funfkirchen.
The sixth Hungarian corps d'artnie, consisting of
20,030 men under General AULICH, was detactied
southward of the left of HIPEOET'S line i but
Fi wheumetheor
r
to invade Croatia and advance upon
effect a junction with PLECZEL, was not known.
Intelligence just received from Constantinople
enables as however to form some conjecture on this
head. It is stated, though without detail, that
Croatia was in full insurrection, demanding the sub-
stitution of Base as their ban for Jr.ixecurett.
Such we understand to be the position of military
affairs in Han""". And * mir own v.^-••— awe

We are in
no fear for flax. The advance of VASKEWITCH
through the northern Carpathians is the meet danger-
ous of the offensive operations of the Russians. Bat not-
withstanding his immense superiority of force, we do
not augur that he will prove more successful
than General Sarum, who lost an army some months
since in the self-same attempt, and was most shame-
fully beaten. The quarter in which the Hungarians
seem most Daly to suffer repulse Is where the over-
whelming forces and resources of the enemy have
been concentrated on the western line of defence, andl
where °IOU= is making a valorous and, as yet,,
we learn, a successful stand. Bat even his retreat 1
from the Waag and from Raab does not decide the
war. The Hungarians have their Torres Vedru on
the Theism, where they will became the more for-
midable for concentration.

Baron Rothschild and his friends were loudly cheered
upon making their appearance on the platform, but
the attempt to get a manifestation in behalf of Lord J.
Mennen was a complete failure, the voices of his partisans
being drowned in a storm of yells and hint% The hell at
the commencement of the proceeding was densely crowded
and in the mile/ice, which were also filled, there were
several ladies.
Mr. Helms& having made the usual proclamation, read
the writ and precept of election, and also the bribery oath.
Mr Alderman and Sheriff FINNIS said that he and his
brother sheriff had one favour to ask of those who were pre-
presented
nt and it was that they would give to every one who
themselves to their notice a faire and impartial
heaviest_
RAIKES CURRIE, Esq., MX., who was received with
very general applause, proposed Lionel Rothschild as a fit
and proper man to represent them in the Commons house
of par iament.
J. DILLON, Esq., came forward to second the nomi-
nation.
Mr. T. BARING then came to the front of the hustings,
and, upon the announcement that it was his intention to
move the nomination of Lord John Mennen the few sup.
porters of that nobleman who were present attempted to get
up a cheer. It wav, however, met by an overwhelming
counter demonstration ; which was continued with abort
lulls to the close of the proceedings. Mr. Baring did not
persevere in his attempt to obtain a hearing, but without any
accompanying observations proposed Lord J. Mennen as a
candidate for to represontation of the city of London.
Alderman Sir P. LAURIE came forward to second the
nomination of Lord J. Manners, but encountered such a storm
of showing end hisses that he was almost utterly inaudible
even to those who stood close to him.
Baron ROTHSCHILD then rime forward and proereled
to address the electors. He was received with entbudattio
applause, which was sustained for some minutes by the oil
majority of those present. In the course of his address a
few hisses were occasionally heard, which were the signal
for the renewal of the cheering which greeted him es his
first appearance. He spoke as follows t —Electors of Lea-
don,—lt is now two years since I had the honour of pre-
senting myself to you en the same capacity as that in which
I now come forward to solicit your suffrages. (Cheers.) At
that election you had an opportunity of expressing your
opinions on the great question of religious freedom, ani by
electing me your representative you proved that it is not
necessary to test a man's religious heed before you entrust
him with gredt public duties. (Loud cheers.) You ex-
pensed your opinions—l say It with feelings of proud satis-
faction—and recorded your verdict mot atically against
bigotry and intolerance, and you decided, that in the City
of London religious distinctions and disqualifications should
no longer exist. (Loud and continued cheering.) During
those two years of confidence and indulgence on your part, I
was most anxious to follow out your views with respect to the
attainment of the common object of our wishes, and I have
especially consulted with the committee nominated at the
meeting of the let of February, and have carefully weighed
with them our proceedings. (Hear.) I natter myseUl now
come before you, encouraged by approval of that conduct
and policy, but this' is initiate for dwelling upon details. We
meet here to-day for a great cause, and for the promotion
of principles which you yourselves were the first to advocate.
(Cheers.) There can be no doubt, gentlemen, that
you are acting as constitutionally in giving your votelito the
candidate of your choice as the lords are en rejecting a bill
passed in two consecutive sessions by the House of Commons.
(Loud cheers.) I believe that their lordships were guided
by what they supposed to be the best possible motives,
but have we not always, seen that a determined
demonstration of public opon was necessary before
any great measure could be carried, and that if
strong convictions in favour of any particular
principle were found prevalent among the people, such con-
victions and wishes and determinations must be manifested
many times before they could win assent from all the con-
stituted authorities ? I seek, then, your assistance to mats
clear to the upper house the strong conviction, the conscien-
tious belief, aad the earnest desire of this great con-
stituency. (Cheers.) I seek to be elected to the
proud distinetion of being your representative. Having
identified myself with yon at the last election in successfully
asserting the great principles of civil and religious liberty,
I now come forerard, trotting that we shall triumphantly
carry out those principles, and vindicate our rights and
privileges. He then retired amid great cheering.
Lord JOHN MANNERS next presented himself to the
assembly, and was received with tremendous groaning and
derisive shout'. For several minutes he essayed to effect
some mitigation of the tumultuous din with which he was
assailed, but his efforts were not attended with the smallest
success, and had rather the effect of stimulating his oppo-
nents to increase their efforts to produce uproar.
Mr. Sheriff FINNIS appealed to the constituency to
respect themselves, by granting a hearing to the noble lord
who stood before them. He trusted they would hear what
each candidate had to say, and thus act in accordance with
the spirit of Englishmen and the principles of the con-
stitution.
Lord J. MANNERS then spin attempted to obtain a
hearing, but the shouting was immediately renewed, and his
voice was completely drowned in the vociferation' of the
multitude, which, from the numbers engaged in uttering
them, formed a perfect Babel of sounds, whose import or
meaning it was quite impossible to catch.
Boon ROTHSCHILD also interposed, and demanded, es
a personal favour, that the meeting would bear his noble op-
ponent, for whose private character and virtues he enter-
tained the highest respect.
Lord J. MANNERS then, amidst the most astounding
noise, and content taterruptioa, proceeded with his address. 1
We understood him to my : If after this appeal to you, you still
refuse to listen to me, I of course, bow es year decision, and

The assemblage then separated, having first given three
hearty °hems for the Queen.
