The Irish intelligence is of a melancholy and
deeply painful character. We have been too long
accustomed to accounts of suffering and destitution,
of wholesale evictions, and of entire districts lying
waste and uncultivated after the banishment of their
once happy occupants, to feel any surprise at the
lamentable statements of a sinsilar description that
daily arrive from the sister king-dom. But, unfortu-
nately, a new, although not qiuite unexpected, in-
gredient appears on the present occasion. There has
been a renewal of those scenes of strife and blood-
shed that so long disgraced the northern province.
Religious animosities are rekindled, party warfare
revived, and
" Civil dissension, with its vip'raus tooth,
That gnaws the bowels of the Commonwealth,"
now rages throughout Ulster.
These deplorable results are mainly ascribed to the
reckless and headstring conduct of the Orange party
—of those who recently protested against the rate in
aid for the support of their distressed brethren in the
south and west of Ireland. 'That the ignorant masses
should desire again to celebrate the anniversary of the
12th of July, and the bygone triumphs of their party,
may excite but little surprise; but that their leaders—
men of education and influence, and some
of considerable wealth and station—should have sanc-
tioned a repetition of those absurd exhibitions that
excited feelings of bitter hostility, and almost
invariably led to fatal consequences, is indeed strange.
If any hope remained for their unhappy country, if

any prospect existed of the social regeneration of
Ireland, it was to be sought for in the cordial
co-operation of Irishmen of every class and creed for
the benefit of their common country. It might have
been supposed that the chastening dispensations of
PROVIDENCE, the pestilence and famine that decimated
the nation, would have induced a more temperate
and humble spirit ; that those who were them-
selves afflicted would not seek to insult their
fellow-sufferers, or to revive those sanguinary feuds
that were in the olden time the defacing blots on the
national escutcheon. These reasonable expectations
have, hcwever, been disappointed. The orangemen
walked in procession, with drums and banners--the
Catholic party resented the insult—a fearful collision
took place, and many widows and orphans deprived of
their natural protectors will long deplore the fatal
termination of the proceedings.
It appears that the different Orange lodges as-
sembled on Thursday, the 12th instant, at Tollymore -
park, the seat of the Earl of RODEN, and that, as usual
on such occasions, they were well provided with fire-
arms and other weapons of offence. On their return in
the evening through the pass of Dolly's Brae the
progress of the procession was opposed by a large
body of the peasantry, armed with pikes, muskets,
scythes, and a variety of formidable weapons. Shots
were fired, and many killed and wounded on either
side. During the progress of the contest several

cottages were set on fire, and with their contents

totally consumed, the wretched occupants being
deprived of the shelter of a roof, and thrown in utter

When the late glorious campaign, which terminated
in the defeat of the Imperialists by the Hunga-
rians, commenced—it will not be forgotten
that a period of obscurity elapsed before
any intelligence arrived as to the vary-
, ing fortunes of the belligerents. After that
interval rumours were heard that the Magyars were
beaten, that their assailants, in fact, were every-
, where victorious. From the outset we discredited
these reports, not merely because they were in every
instance contradictory to each other, but because
they were invariably transmitted via Germany,
receiving a particular colouring in their passage
through the political atmosphere of Vienna. Our
incredulity proved in every instance to be correct.
The apparent flight of the Hungarians before the
legions of the Imperial invaders was discovered in the
end to be only the initial movement of a masterly
system of military tactics. Town after town
was abandoned, river after river crossed, fortress
after fortress evacuated, until—the grand army
of the Austrians having been sufficiently reduced in
garrisons—the Hungarians emerged from the shelter
of their morasses, and from the fastnesses of their
mountains, and, with one revelation of their national
valour, transformed the conquerors into fugitives.
Then it was that Europe witnessed that glorious
ebullition of patriotism which enabled the raw re-
cruits from the neighbourhood of Debreczin to rout
the veteran soldiers of Germany. Then it was that
the improvised army of Liberation advanced by forced
marches, tracking their road by the glow of succes-
sive victories, until they had driven the last
minion of the EMPEROR from the sacred soil of their
fatherland, until they had reinstated their patriitic
statesmen in the capital Buda-Pesth, until they had
threatened the battlements of Presburg, and had
penetrated so far beyond the frontiers of the Republic,
as to be within sight of the walls of the imperial
metropolis. Having observed the successionotficevipeanttes
in the last campaign, we may reasonably anticipate
the same preliminary dubiousnessgloozwaenddbythesame
as to
the progress of the war, fo
preci-
pitate pmans of triumph over the reported successes of
the imperialists. Let it be known, however, that the
flimsy masquerade is by this time so threadbare as to
be clearly transparent. The clumsy devices of the
organs of reaction cannot be repeated without detec-
tion. However profound may be the uncertainty—
however loud may be the hosannahs of exultation
chaunted over the supposititious achievements of the
dragoons of absolutism, the multitude will not
lose heart as to the doom of the Magyars,
neither will it resign one iota of its confidence in
their heroism and their genius. As to the nature of
the catastrophe—that, of course, is hidden in the in-
scrutable designs of the great GOD of Justice.
Although, numerically considered, the hostile forces
are of appalling superiority, the Hungarians are, in
our estimation, very far indeed from being in any
desperate extremity. They recommence the struggle
with the prestige of their recent victories. They
enter the battle-field clad in the panoply of their new as
well as their ancient and historical glory. Their
Government has been consolidated by the
triumph of a great national liberation. Their
Republican institutions have been stabili-
tated simultaneously by the sentiments of ad-
miration and by the emotions of gratitude. And as a
crowning effort to evoke all the holiest and noblest
feelings of the Magyar race, there has been issued a
proclamation that stirs the heart like a trumpet call,
a proclamation dictated by the lambent and almost
inspired eloquence of KOSSUTH, burning with the
fire of patriotism, and sounding with the resonance of
heroic desperation. As the most conspicuous token
of our homage to the genius of an illustrious people,
and of our sympathy with their struggles for emanci-
pation, we give, for the first time, a complete trans-
lation of this soul-thrilling document. Remember I
it is the voice of Kossuni that speaks, and that he
speaks from the capital of the Hungarians!--
" The country is in danger Patriots, arm your-
selves. If ordinary means could save the country, we
should not tell of its danger as wo do. We say openly
and candidly, that the whole strength of the people must
rise in defence ; if not, they must perish with hunger ;
for those savage Russians not only mow down the truits
of your labour, the crops well nigh ripe for the harvest,
but they also—we say it with a bleeding heart—cut
down the green corn, which they destroy. Thus they
proceed with murder and rapine ; and blood, flames,
famine, and misery march in their track.
" In the name of the Eternal God, and in the name
of the country, do we call upon the people to rise in
their own defence; and we decree and proclaim a ge-
neral crusade against the Russians and the Austrian
Emperor. All provisions must be hid from the enemy
—hid in the fastnesses of the mountains and the
morasses of the plains—for the enemy shall starve.
Before your towns and inhabited places are occupied
by the enemy, you shall abandon them; yea, you shall
leave them, and your bravest men shall fire the roofs
above the heads of your foes. You shall burn them
with fire-, because your homes are doomed, and your
enemies burn wherever they come. Since, therefore,
the houses are to be burnt, let them at least be
consumed while the Russians are in them. The priests
shall tako the cross, and lead the people to de end
their religion and liberty. If the people do not faith-
fully do their duty, the country is lost, and nothing can
save it.
" The country is in danger! Rise, then, my mighty,
my gigantic pecple, rise and arm ! Let every Hunga-
rian take up arms, and victory will be ours. And it is
for this reason we decree and proclaim a general rising
for our liberty in the name of God and of our country!"
The sound of those glowing words has already echoed
throughout the homesteads of the nation, and Hun
gary is in arms, pledged to conquer or perish I
