rum FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Constitutionnel, it would seem, is now the
official organ of communication of the Russian
AUTOCRAT. The following announcement, which
we find in that journal, reads as if published by
authority
"It is stated, that according to the points agreed to
between the Russian Government and that of Austria,
the Russian troops of the army of operation in Hun-
gary will occupy certain towns of that kingdom as long
as there can be any doubt that the pacification of the
coutry is complete, and that calm has returned to men's
Accordirg to the same information, Russia
is said to have obtained from the Austrian Go vet n-
aaent that Hungary shall have her separate line of
,:ustoms, and shall not be comprised in the cm
',ores union of the Austrian states. It is known that
Hungary had hitherto enjoyed the privilege of levy.
ing at the intermediate frontier between the territory
f the kingdom and that of the hereditary states a
luty known by the name of the Thirtieth. The collet:-
,ion of that duty demanded the maintenance of a separate
line of custom-house officers; but at the same time that
intermediate line of customs guaranteed to Hungary a
commercial individuality, and served to protect the ma-
•:ifestations of the country against the competition of the
frontier countries. An association had been formed in
Hungary under the name of Veckgzlet, which obliged
Its members to consume only national pro:lace; and not-
vithstanding the raillery of which it was the object, it
exercised a certain influence on the advance of national
manufactures. These manufactures, being arrested in
heir development by the war, would have the greatest
nfficulry in reviving, if an efficient protection did not
aid them. That is said to be the motive which has
.letermined Hungary to apply for a distinct customs
111 e, and Russia to support that demand with the Impe-
rial Government."

The Reforme has the following on the intrigues of
Russia with the reactionary party
" As to the intentions and aims of the Czir, they are
roc) plain to allow of the least doubt. After having con-
quered Hungary rather by diplomacy than force of arms,
now secures the rear of his army that he may be in a
onsition to march to the Rhine in concert with Austria
and Prussia. It is for the sake of obtaining this end
hat he has deigned to conclude a treaty with Turkey,
by which the latter engages to furnish a contingent of
35 000 men to keep down Wallachia and Moldavia.
And now, ye statesmen of the 10th of December, if you
see not the perils that menace your country, you are
,ither blind or you are lending your hand to the Holy
Alliunce of the north. Nicholas plays his lait card.
The war, which was commenced in Hungary only to
terminate on the borders of the Rhine, will be the
supreme struggle between liberty and despotism. Europe
will be R-publican or Cossack."
The National has the following on the fall of
Venice :

" A moment there was when France appeseed to c
prebend her duty and her right. A day there was
when the Government of February desired to exti nil its
hand to Venice. The ships were ready, the soldiers
were designated, the road was marks d out, and Venice
had prepared for our brave soldiers some of those de-
serted palaces into which Austria is now about to enter
as a master, just as she did at Milan, fl)urishing her
cane. We shall perhgps be able yet to show how our
diplomatists contrived to bring to nothing this noble and
patriotic design. To-day we can do no more than
write these words with grief:—ln eight days Hun-
gary and Venice! France looks on and is silent. What?
Republican France? The France of February? France,

M. TESTE, who wss convicted in 1847 of corrup-- )1,
tic% in his office as one of the Cabinet Ministers of
LOUIS PHILIPPE, and sentenced to imprisonment for
five years, and who bad been permitted up to the
present time to spend the period of his imprisonment
in a 3laison de Sante, has been removed to the Con-
ciergerie, by order of N. DUFAURE, the Minister of I
the Interior.
Letters from Toulon of the 26th state that Rear- tj
Admiral VAILLANT, second in command of the
squadron of evolution, entered that harbour on the
day previous. He hoisted his flag on board the
Jemmappes.
An Englishman, about thirty years of age, threw
himself from the top of the column of the Place
Vendome, on Tuesday evening, at six o'clock. He
was killed on the spot. There were no papers found
on him that could lead to a knowledge of his name.
His linen is marked "H. N." The body now lies
at the Morgue. This is the second suicide of the
same kind since the revolution of February, and the
36th since the erection of the column.
Sir H. L. BULWER passed through Paris yesterday,
en route for London.
The celebrated Arabian stock at Versailles and St.
Cloud, the property of the ex-royal family, are to be
sold by auction in the last fortnight of o.3oher.
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT
of the Republic, declaring that sailing vessels pro-
vided with clear bills of health, and coming from
European and Asiatic Turkey, Egypt, and Tripoli,
shall he freely admitted in all the harbours of the
Republic. Steamers shall be admitted into the At-
lantic harbours on the same conditions. Steamers
must have left those countries for eight days, and
have a physician on board, in order to be entitled
to free admission in the Mediterranean harbours , and
those that have no physician on board shall be liable
to a quarantine of observation of three days.

Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.

The Gageta officially contradicts a rumour which
had been for some days in circulation, that it was the
intention of the Government to di-solve the Cortes.
The Government has never for an instant entertained
any such intention.

The Duke of SOTOMAYOR having declined to accept
the portfolio of Finance, it is considered probable that
BELAY() MUEILLO will be permanently appointed
Finance Minister. There was, however, a rumour
current in Madrid that it was probable Most would
re-enter the Cabinet.

The Hacienda states that Senor BRAVO MURILLO,
on coming into office, informed the Customs Board
that it was the intention of the Government to pub-
lish the tariff without further delay than that re-
quired for its examination and regular course; and
that, in a subseqm-nt conference with the director and
sub .directors, he examined the most important
branches of the tariff, as saltfish, iron, woollen, and
silk goods; and " also the 21 article—that respecting
cottons—which does not admit of any other variation
than the tariff form which the direction has given to
it, for the better intelligence of the offices and of com-
merce ; and some restrictions in mixed goods, offered
by the Government in the discussion of the Cortes,
since both the values and the types of the duty, and
the part which remains prohibited, are expressed in
terms in the law, which admits of no alteration nor
variation. The conference lasted till twelve at night,
the Minister making arrangements for continuing
the examination in the shortest and most efficacious
manner."

NARVAEZ, who has been recently suffering severely
from spasmodic cholic, has had a relapse. The
Espana says—" Our correspondent at La Granja
writes to us, on the night of the 22d, that at three
o'clock that morning the Duke of VALENCIA had telt
himself attacked with one of the nervous (-holies from
which he has suffered for some time. In the be.
ginning he sought to resist it without troubling any
one, but at five o'clock the pain was so intense that he
was obliged to summon his valet. The Duke passed
ell the day in much sufferieg. At nine at night the
QUEEN'S physician, who visited him, found him much
unproved, the pulse quiet, and in the disposition to
sleep. The Duke, on his part, was animated, and
participated in the hopes of the medical attendants.
The news of the illness of the President of the Council
Teread through La Greeja with the quickness of
lightning. All persons resident there hastened to
inform themselves of the course which the indisposi
tion took, and the satisfaction was general when it
was stated at night that there were not the slighleit
fears about it."

VIENNA, AUG. 26.—The Wiener Zeitung of the
26th contains a report from Field Marshal VON
HATNAu, stating that the pursuit of the insurgents
has been attended with the most decisive results, and
that the w, hole of Transylvania is now cleared of the
rebels, and that only a few thousand of the Polish
Legion are now between Mebedia and Orsowa.
On the 19th, seventy-two pieces of ar-
tillery were taken in the Valley of That
Varad, belonging to VEESEY'S corps, the re.
mainder of which, consisting of 7,000 men, 1,000
horses, 4,000 muskets, and 2 field-pieces, submitted
to the Russians on the 20th at Boros-Jeno. BEM,
and GUYON arrived during the night of the 17th
at Dews, where the avant guard of General LUDERS
was yesterday. The Hungarians, therefore, sought
for an amnesty of 24 hours from General LUDERS,
which was allowed them. In the council of war that
was held, BEM and GUYON declared in favour of the
prosecution of the war, but as this met with opposition,
they left immediately, it is said, in the direction of
Nuszberg. A mutiny broke out in consequence in the
camp of the insurgents, the greater part of whom, 8,000,
surrendered to the Russians, with 74 pieces of artillery;
1,000 men dispersed themselves among the mountains,
and the rest, t'rom 4,000 to 5,000, surrendered to the
Austrian army corps, and were led to Temeswar.
General DEI.SEWFFY has placed himself with his staff
under Lieutenant-Marshal WALLMODEN j the siege
of Terneswar, will remain one of the most remark
able in history. The city was bombarded from the
11th to the 17th of June inclusive, and from the sth
to the 23d of July with bombs, granats, and 18 and
24-pounders, and the 15,000 bombs, which have fallen
into that city have reduced it to a heap of ruins.—

It was reported in Vienna on the 24th that BEM
and ROSSUTU had reacted Adrianople, ar.d that
arrangements had been made for their safe conduct
to Englai d.

The following letters alleged to have been wiltten
by Kossuru to BEM, and stated to have been taken
by General LUDERS among BEM'S baggage in Transyl
vania, have been published in the Austrian papers.
They prove KOSSUTH to be as great as a stratigist as
he is as a patriot and a statesman, and show that
had GEORGEY acted according to the injunctions of
KOSSUTH, the war would probably have had a very
different termination :
"THE GJITERNOR 01 THE LAND TO LIEUTENANT•

ardent, proud, superb, audiud,us, who stirred up tile f you, Lieut.-Field-Marsbal, were to lead there in per-
world and froz tyrants with affright? No. The Fran le ! son, in compensation for the auxiliary corps sent you

mocked, while hsr partition and auoihilation art- t semblcd in the bets Banat, Lieutenant-General Vet-
dreamed of—France, which fears everything except thee ter. Other contentions I have settled ; but Colonel
Cossacks." 1 Banffy appeals to your order to serve under no one

but you (on the supposition that you are coming in per-
son) or Gen. Yerczel. I have sent him the necessary
instructions; but I beg that you will also have the good-
ness, Lieut.-ield-Marshal, on your part, to inform the
military commanders detached from your army that, so
long as they are separated from that army, they must
regard as their commanding officer the person Rho is so
appointed by the Government. In the present instance
this is General Vetter, since you are prevented from
coming youtseK I must sincerely and openly declare
my opinion, that if we can concentrate our forces rapidly,
rapidly mind, the country is saved; if not, it is lost. My
heart bleeds to say it, but I do say it with the firmest
conviction, that it this were done quickly I would be
ready to give up whole provinces, ye; fouiefifths of the
whole land to bee our forces concentrated with rapidity.
For so we shall beat the enemy, and the enemy beaten,
the provinces are our's again; but the army scittered the
na ion is ruined, and the provinces avail us not a jot.
Therefore it were my wish, that you curve wit'l your
whole force to unite with the other corps, and took the
eeiumeed-in•chiel; so shall we beat our enemies in de-
tail, one after the other, and conquer the freed, m of the
world. If this is not practicable, then I fear that within
a fortnight we shall have a catastrophe. Mean-
while, I will defend the country to the last man. I
have just summoned the whole of the Hungarian people
to arms. The order has been dispatched to Grosswar-
dein to get. ready in the course of this and the next
week the two batteries, and to send them to you imme-
diately, as I promised. Whether they were to be horse
or lout batteries I know not. But 1 believe that a foot
battery is better to-day than a horse battery in a couple
of weeks, for who knows how long Grosswardein may
be mire? I beg you not to forget to dispatch immedi-
ately instructions to the Banat about the command-in-
chief of Lieut.-General Vetter over the troops there—
it is moat urgent: else all will be chaos there. And com-
mend me to your friendly sentiments, which I highly
value. "L. KOSSUTH, Governor."

"THE GOVERNOR OF THE LAND TO GEN. L.F.M DEM.
" I haste❑ to inform you that the battle fought yest•:r-
day before Raab has turned out unfortunately for us; our
troops were obliged to evacuate Raab. So much the more
urgent is the necessity for you, L.F.M., and your brave
troops to unite with us; if this junction can be speedily
ffected, the country is saved.
" The Governor. Ko3sura.
" Buds- Pesti]."

" General Georgey has been attacked at Raab by
50,000 men, and an immensely strong artillery, and re-
pulsed. In consequence of this the plan that he should
advance agsiii:st Austria and the lower armies concen-
trated here is become impossible. Hence the resolution
has been taken to leave a strong garrison in Comorn,
and concentrate the whole army lower down, so that the
Transylvanian, the Deutsch. Banat, and the upper army,
tc gether with the corps of Visoczky, should draw to•
wards Szecredin, and unite with the Bacs-Banat army.
I have to add that the Russian army has sent a strong
detachment across the Th( iss at Tokay, of 8,000 men,
and according to other accounts, of 20,000, and that
these are today at Nyiregyhaza. The intrntion of this
movement seems to be t.) occupy the country between
Debreczin and Grosswardein in your rear, and cut you
off from the upper army. To hinder this must beat present
our main task, and for this purpose the above mention, d
concentration has been resolved by the Government. It
is tnidni;.7,ht: at this moment the Minister Csanyi, Lieu-
tenant-Field-Marshal Kiss and Gofers! Aulich start to
take Georgey the decisive order for the concentration of
the troops on Szegediu. I mly add confidentially that
the seat of the Government will be also removed
thither.--Perseverance and hope for the victory of our
just cause.
(Signed) " L. KOSSUTH, Governor."

" TO GENERAL DM

" Szsgedin, July 16.
" I have r:•ceived yeur v luable clispetches of the 8?.11
and 9th ofJey, and hasten to asst.re yeu, th for the
fee snt Tramiyl, aeda ! as not!eree to fear from the Rue-
sians as yet on the side of Grosswardein and Dehreen.
I have set the upper cops d'arinee under the command
of General Perersl, and placed 12,000 new troops at hip
disposal. With these 24,000 troops he has marched
from Czegled to Szolnok, ready, according to circum-
stances, to cross the Theiss, or to threaten the Rusians
on the right bank. At the same time vie caused an im-
mense levy of Landeturei of the brave Crimatrians, at St.
Agata, not far from Karrlszag, under Colonel Korponay ;
and for the covering of Grosswardei❑ we provid, d with
two battalions of infantry two divisions of hussars, and
eight guns, strengthened by a partial recruitment to the
amount of 9,600 men, at the camp at Paspoki. The con-
sequences of these movements was the rapid retreat m
the Russians from Debreezei, and their evacuation o'
the whole line of the Theiss; so that the left bank of
that river is completely free from the enemy, and the
right bank is also in our hands. General Perczel is to
day in the camp at Szolnok and Abony, with the inten-
tion of covering the right bank of the Theiss, and the
space of laud betwee❑ the Danube and Thetas, together
with Sz-gedin, as well as, according to circumstances, 0
operate on the fink and rear of the Russians, who
sweep with their main force towards Hatyan, and from
thence to Pesth and ‘Vaitzetr. The Austrian General,
Ramberg, entered Buda on the 11th, with 6,000 men.
hut seems to have retired again. After we have de-
stroyed the fortifications of Buda, no regard will be paid
to the occupation of either of these completely untenable
places. Nevertheless, we would have fain remained it
Peeth; but, in order to do this, I should have had to
bring up and concentrate the Theiss and Danube army.
and thereby to evacuate regions out of which I could
stamp armies with my foot, after lost battles, while
1.), sib offered me no resources whatever. Therefore I
have established it as a principle not to make the
operations of the war subservient to the security of the
seat 01 government, but to suit the seat of the govern-
ment to the requisitions of the war. I know that it is
better so. To-day we are at Szegedin, next week,
perhaps, we shall be at Arad or Grosswardein,
which I should prefer to any other locality. As for
myself, I am on the point of going from village to village
to pick up volunteers, for I wish to form a new reserve
of 30,000 men, and to command this reserve army ie
person. In a month I believe that I shall have th;
30,000 men. General Vetter has begun to take the of-
fensive towards Jellachich. The brave Guyon has
beaten Jellachich, who is fled to Titel. Guyou pursur
him to-day. while General Kmeti relieves Peterwardein
to day. Meanwhile Colonel Banffy taking up by forced
marches the columns in Ecsca, Lucacsfalva, and Aradsz,
is speeding towards Perlass, and will try to take Titel hi-
fore Jellachich can get there, although he will hardly
succeed, I think, and Titel will again be a hard nut tot
us— Vedrento. The troops and their leaders are valiant.
The upper army (as on that subject I shall have much to
tell you) is still at Comern. O❑ the 12th it had a great
battle without result, is still in the entrenched camp,
great loss on boil' sides, but the enemy's much the
greater—particularly in cavalry."

The foloAir.g appears to form part of an earlier letter
from KossuOkto Bern There is one circuinstanca for
me, for you, and for the whole country extremely
%filleting and painful. General Gorgey wrote from Co •
'morn on the 2d of July :—"fhe battle of Raab is lost.
l'he enemy out fl-inked us towards Bicske, for I cannot,
in the face of 60,000 men, extend my line so far from the
point d' appui. The enemy will, within 48 hours, be in
Buda. The Government will do well to think of se-
curing the stores, bank, &e.'"
