SOLDIERS QUARTERED IN ITALY.

" Soldiers ! Comrades ! My activity is unlimited. I
am about to fulfil my intent. My intent is to free my
country—to make her independent, free, and happy. It
is not' by force we have been crushed. The force of the
world would never have sufficed to crush Hungary.
Treason alone did it.

"I swear that force shall not conquer us, nor treason
injure us again. Our war is the war of the liberty of
the world, and we are no longer alone. Not only the
whole people of our own country will be with us, not
only will those once adverse to us now combat with us
the common enemy, but all the peoples of Europe will
arise and unite to wave the banner of liberty. By the
force of the peoples of the world the tottering power of
the tyrants shall be destroyed. And this shall be the
last war.

"In this war no nation fraternizes more with the
Hungarian than the Italian. Our interests are one—
our enemy is one—our struggle is one. Hungary is the
right wing, and Italy the left wing, of the army I lead.
The victory will be common to both.
"Therefore, in the name of my nation, have I made
alliance with the Italian nation. *The moment we raise
the banner of the liberty of the world let the Italian
soldier in Hungary unite with the insurgent Hungarian
nation, and the Hungarian soldier in Italy unite with
insurgent Italy. Let all, wheresoever the alarm shall
first sound, combat against the common enemy. Whoso
will not do this, he, the hireling of our country's execu-
tioner, shall never more see his native land. He shall
be for ever exiled as a traitor, as one who has sold the
blood of his parents and of his country to the enemy.
" The moment of the insurrection is at hand ; let not
that moment find the Hungarian unprepared ; for should
it take them unprepared, should our nation not im-
prove the opportunity, our dear country would be lost
for ever, and our national flag would be covered with
ignominy.
" I know that every Hungarian is ready for the war
of liberty. The blood shed by the martyrs, the suf-
ferings of the country, have changed even children into
heroes.

"No nation yet rewarded its brave sons so liberally as
the Hungarian nation will reward hers. After the vic-
tory, the State property shall be distributed among the
army, and the families of the victims of patriotism ; but
the coward and traitor shall die.

"And I, therefore, make it known to you, soldiers, in
the name of the nation, that whoever brings you this
my order is expressly sent to you, that he may report
to me the favourers of liberty in the army stationed in
Italy, and that he may tell you, in my name, how you
should organise yourselves.
"Accept the instructions that are forwarded to you
by the nation through me, and follow them. Let it be
so in every town and district of our country and every-
where.

"Brave ones ! The Honveds and the Hussars have
covered with glory the name of our nation. The world
looks on the Hungarian flag as on the banner of liberty.
We will preserve that glory, and satisfy that expectation.
" It. is principally on you that the eyes of the world
are turned, for your number is great. The arms are in
your hands ; a generous blood in your veins ; the
love of the country, and thirst of vengeance on her
executioners is in your breasts. Your task is glorious
and easy ; for you are among a nation which will give
its own millions of combatants against Austria.
" From Rome to the island of the Sicilians—from the
Sava to the country beyond the Rhine—all the people
are unanimous in a cry joined to the clang of millions of
arms. Let God be our judge. Down with the tyrants !
Long live the liberty of the people ! Long live our
country !
" Brave ones ! By this cry your voice will be like
Joshua's voice, at the bidding of which the Jericho of
tyrants shall fall.
"So I order, in the name of the nation. Let every
one obey. I will shortly be among you. Au revoir.
God be with you.

THE CALORIC SHIP FRicssoN.—We have no wish
(remarks the Glasgow Advertiser of Thursday), to say a
word against the new method of propulsion that is about

arrive in this country from America. All that we wish
to draw attention to, without disparagement to any suc-
cessful modification that Captain Ericsson may put in
operation connected with heated air as a motive power,
is the fact, that the invention, said to be his, is not new.
About 30 years ago, a vessel named the Highland Lad,
that many of our readers will remember as a passage-
boat on the Clyde, was fitted up by Messrs. Claud
Girdwood and Co., of Glasgow, with a caloric engine,
the invention, we pelieve, of the Rev. Mr. Stirling, now
minister of a parish—Gafston we think—near Kilmar-
nock. This engine propelled the vessel at the moderate
rate that gave satisfaction in those days, being estimated
as working to 20 horses power. It was subsequently
removed from the vessel in consequence of the working
parts yielding to the enormous heat and thereby becom-
soft and giving way, and its place was supplied by an
ordinary steam-engine. We fear that Captain Ericsson's
engine will labour under a like disadvantage, but, be that
as it may, he must content himself as ranking in this
country as the mere modifer of the invention of Mr.
Stirling, whose caloric engine we saw working regularly
in Dundee, in 1814 a fact
ory,
