THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1863

true that the Austrian police has arrested in an
arbitrary and illegal manner numerous persons sus-
pected of having aided the insurrection, and it seizes
arms wherever they are to be found, and systemati
tally imprisons insurgents taken with arms in their
bends. In short, Austria does more than Russia
has a right to expect from her, though, at the same
.ime, far less than she might do were she disposed
to exercise all possible means for helping her former
ally. But that the Governor of Galicia connived
with Russia to let Wysocki's expedition go into
Volhynia to its destruction can be shown to be
false ; and that Colonel Kunsti, who commands
at Brody, informed General Kreuter, who com-
mands at Radziwillow, when and where the expedi-
tion was to cross cannot be shown to be true. These
are the two great charges now made against the
Austrian Government or aghast its agents. and of
course neither Count Mensdotff nor Col. Kunsti
can wet', come torward to oisproie tl_eni. It has
heen stated by the Cracow corrop-ndent of a
Breslau paper that Count Alensdot ff, titer consult-
tog the Russian Government as to what he shout:
with the two thousand insurgents destined
for Volhynia, was requested to let them enter,
mid than thereupon he allowed them to form
in the woods, to remain there three weeks un-
molested, and only at the last moment made r
show of wishing to prevent their passage on to Rus-
sian territory. Fallirg into the lowest depths of
the :ridiculous, the Cracow cot espondent adds that
Count Mensdorff, Governor of a province, ex-Am-
bassador, a General in the Austrian service, went
himself to Brody, and " placing himself at the
bead of a patrol," pursued the insurgents in the
woods, and captured from them a quantity of old
clothes. A French piper, after citing this non-
sense, remarks with much naivete, " Ceci n'a pas
besoiu de conementaire." IL deed, the only part of
the statement worth commenting upon is that in
which it is asserted that the insurgents had time
given to them to form in the woods, whereas I can
testify that they bad to take the greatest precaution
to get to the woods at all; that they were obliged
to start for the frontier the moment they received
their arms, and that the Austrians did not even
give them time to learn how to load their rifles,
If the Austrians are thought to have made great
efforts to prevent the departure of an expedition
they are accused of undue severity ; if they are sus-
pected (however unreasonably) of having favoured
its departure they are charged with having played
into the hands of Russia.
As for Colonel Kunsti's letter to the Russian
General at Radziwillow the Gazeta Narodowa of
Lemberg, after declaring that this pretended letter
was in its possession, has abstained from publishing
it, though challenged to do so by the official journals
of Lemberg and Cracow, which affirm positively
that no such document exists, or has ever existed.
The Gazeta Narowdowa promised to send the epistle
in question for publication to a French newspaper,
and now the Opinion Nationale affirms gravely that
it has received it, and yet does not print one word
of it, though it can find space for a long letter from
the Russian Consul at Brody to General Kreuter,
in which nothing at all remarkable occurs. It is
not for Colonel Kunsti to show that he has not been
in correspondence with the Russians. It is for those
who hazard such an accusation against him to show
that they have not done so without any sort of
proof.

The Murder of a Girl at Isliuigtop.

William Henry Clarke, the young man who stands charged
with feloniously killing and slaying Elizabeth Hunter, at
Greenman's-lane, Islington, on the night of the 30th of
Nlardh in last year, was again placed at the bar of the
Clerkenwell Policy Court, before Mr, barker, for re-eia-

charged with the serious crime of murder, he would not
had these cases brought against him. He cJuld put in re-
sjnntable securities for the pri.soner's appearance at tke
trial.
Mr. Barker said he expected such an application Woiaid
be made, he would take bail, the prisoner himself in the
sum of £lOO ; and, a- there were two charges, he should
require four sureties it the sum of £25 each.
Mr. Dickie said that the charges were slight and the
prisoner poor, and therefore he hoped that the magistrate
would reduce the amount of bail.
Mr. Barker declined co accede to the application.
The prisoner again protested his innocence, and was re-
moved.
