The atrocious murders perpetrated by order of the
Red EMPEROR and the ferocious HAYNAU still con-
tinue. The Pesthen Zeitung thus officially records
the names of the murdered at Arad :

throu,4l2 his own confession, of having disregarded the
orders of the I. it., general commander of the Banat,
issued in accordance with the imperial manifesto of Oc-
tober 3, whereby the legal operation of the Hungarian
Diet and Ministry was abolished, and the country de-
clared in a state of war, those orders being that he
should retire with his division of troops to Temesvar, and
of having remained in the ranks of the insurgent army;
also of having accepted from the rebellious government
promotion to the rank of general and lieutenant fi Id•
marshal, together with the military order founded by the
said government; also of having, in the month of February'
last, undertaken the post of a district commander, and
c ;ntintied to exercise this office in the interest of the
rebellious Government on, and even after, the 14th of
April of this year, when the Diet of Debreczin, upon the
motion of Louts Kossuth, proclaimed the separation of
Hungary from the Austrian monarchy, and the exclu-
sion of the imperial reigning dynasty. Ernst Kiss
having been found upon these accounts guilty of the
clime of high treason, according to the 5.h article of
war, the 61st article of the military penal law, the im-
perial proclamations of Oct .ber 3, October 20, Novem-

the fortresses of Arad and Temesvar whose garrisons
had remained faithful to his Majesty the Emperor and
King, and superintended in person the siege of the
latter fortress until the same was relieived in the month
of August last, and of having caused thereby terrible
devastation and destruction of buildings, both private
and belonging to the State. Therefore the accused was
on these accounts, in the court-martial held on the 21st
of September, declared guilty of the crime of high
treason (in virtue of the articles of war and proclama-

with loss of rank, office, and property, moveable and
immoveable, to death by the rope. And this sentence
having bees confirmed by the F. Z. M. Baron Haynau,
the punishment of death was caned this day into execu-

The ab we unfortunate persons were murdered
by order of HAYNAU, at Arad, on the 16th, the day
on which the murder of Count LOUIS BATTIIYANY
was perpetrated at Pesth. To the sentence of death
passed upon the condemned was added the confiica•
tion of their property, moveable and immoveable, in
what place soever it might be found. The fortune of
Count BArruyAxy, which is likewise confiscated, is
estimated at 150,000 f. to 180,000 f. in rents, inde-
pendent of the marriage portion of his wife
a Countess ZICHY. He has left three children. who was
It
is stated that the widow of Count Louis BATTIIYANY
received orders from the military authorities to quit
Hungary with her children. The Lloyd's, on the
contrary, says, that the Countess adopted this resolu-
tion in consequence of the wish expressed by her
husband a short time before his death.

We have to-day to record two additional murders
perpetrated at Pesth on the 10th. On the morn
morning of that day Baron JESZENAK, Commissary
of Neutra, under the Revolutionary Government,
and C. SANZE were hanged. Both attempted to
adcluss the people who had assembled round them,
but were prevented doing so by the beating of the
drum. Their bodies were left exposed for an hour
before being removed to the hospital. The execu-
tioner, who had stripped one of the bodies for the
purpose of getting possession of the clothes, received
a severe reprimand from an officer, who desired him
never in future to excite the fury f the mob by such
insulting conduct.
The Wiener Zeitung publishes an official an-
nouncement of the appointment of the Archduke
ALBERT as Governor of Mayence.
The price of the Austrian loan has fallen per
cent. below the price at which it was taken, in con-
sequence of the refusal of the Dutch capitalists to have
anything to do with it. The Austrian bankers were
virtually compelled to subscribe for considerable por-
tions of it, and they will consequently be great losers
by the fall.
It is said th it HANAU has declared that he has a l's,
of 60 more who are to suffer

Count EDMUND ZICHY, whose brother was hanged
by GEORGEY (the only execution which took place
on the Hungarian side during the whole course of the
contest), has written a letter to the editor of the
Presse, contradicting the reports lately spread,
making it appear that he had killed GEORGEY. This
he does by proving an alibi, having been in Pesth
to take charge of some of the jewels belonging to his
brother that had escaped the robbers' hands, and to
have the body removed, and interred in conformity
wi h the last will of the deceased With regard to
GEORGEY, whom he persists in calling a murderer
(the proofs of which, in the written sentence, are to
be given to the public in a future number of the
Presse), the Count disclaims all intention of treating
him otherwise than as a common assassin, whom it
would be beneath his dignity to call out; and " under
no circumstances will he ever fight with GEORGEY ;"
and to revenge a murder by committing another is
equally far from his thoughts.

PRUSSIA.
The Krtio's birthday was celebrated at Berlin on
Cie 15th; every thing passed off quietly.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 15.—Apprehensions are en-
tertained by a portion of the public that either
Denmark will be forced to a peace by the great
powers, or that war will ensue before the meeting of
the National Diet, which is not to be convened till
January. One of the Danish journals asserts that
peace cannot be legally concluded without the con-
currence of the Diet; and another journal (Flyvessos-
ten) states, that the KING has retained to himself the
power of convoking the old Diet in case of impera-
tive necessity.
The official statement of the national bank has just
been published. From this it appears that the clear
profit of the National Bank of Aarheas amounted
during the last banking year, ending June 30, 1849,
to 125,362 rix dollars ; the bank then having a surplus
of 1,648,474 rix dollars. The bank then possessed
11,527 in silver, Hamburgh bank and English bank
notes. There was a deficit in cash to meet the
current circulation of 1,320,378 rix dollars. The
active capital of the bank amounted to 13,461,993.
Several changes are to take place in the army.
General SCULESSPEGRELL is to be appointed com-
mandant of Alsen, and General Maza to another
post. The cavalry is to he greatly diminished, while
the artillery, on the other hard, is to be reinforced.
The Danish Consul-General at Paris, M. DELANY,
has been honoured with the title of Baron, as a
reward for having purchased French muskets for the
Danish Government at the nominal price of six
francs per piece.
The Berlinger Zeitung states that the Chamber-
lain who arrived from Berlin is still performing
quarantine ; and that with regard to the
negotiations about recent events in Schleswig, it is
confidently hoped that the decisive measures adopted
by Government will have the desired effect. The
Flyvessosten says that the Prussian note gives the
Danish Government the assurance that the armistice
shall be carried out in detail as well as in toto, and
that all mistrust of Prussia on this head is unfounded;
That Prussia will demand the immediate evacua-
tion of Friedrihsort, and has dismissed Major Vox
WAssou from Tondern.
A very short time will go to prove whether it be
true that in a recent Cabinet Council hell at Berlin,
at which the Austrian Ambassador was present, it
was decided that his Majesty the King of DENMARK
received full power over his hereditary dominions,
and power to quell the insurrection in the Duchies
without any interference on the part of foreign
powers.—Oct. 16.
