lachich is growing more unpopular every day on
account of his barbarities. As to our defence against
the Russians, and General Georgey's operations on
the bank of the Saja, the success is corn-
plete." From a Vienna paper just put into
my hands, it would appear as if the Russian
general, Grabbe, bad caused the Hungarians,
under Georgey, to retreat with great loss, after a
sharp battle. I can assure you, upon good authority,
of the very contrary. General Bern's operations in
Moldavia have also surpassed his most sanguine ex-
pectations. Russia must now have a sharp look-out
for her own country, and Schwarzenburg must find a
good deal more money than bankrupt Austria can
muster, to satisfy the exorbitant demands of Russia.
As to reinforcements, I doubt very much if Russia
has it in her power to send them. Indeed M. B---n,
banker at Vienna, declares to me, that a letter from
St. Petersburgh, of recent date, states tbat Russia is
exhausted. She dares not now strip herself of the
soldiers scattered about her wilds; nor can she afford
to trust for any expenses of war to Austria.*
Their occupation of Raab by our men was hailed
with delight by the inhabitants, and particularly the
Jews. Thanksgiving to Almighty God were read
by the Chief Rabbi at the synagogue last Sabbath,
in which he exhorted the congregation to remember
the philanthropic Jewish member who fell an innocent
victim to Austrian cruelty. Two Jewish officers and
about a hundred privates attended the service in their
uniforms. It was a most solemn one. He took his
text from the lxxxvii. Psalm, v. 4—" I will make
mention of Rehab," &c. Speaking of Comorn, he
applied the Ist verse, "His foundation is in the holy
mountain"; and again, verse 3, " Glorious things are
spoken of thee, 0 city, of strength." Offerings were
then made for the widows and orphans of those who
have shed their blood for Hungarian independence.
May it soon be realised !
I break off now ; there is a mob in the street. No
doubt some news from the seat of war. I shall write
more to-morrow. Correspondent of ihe Jewish
Chronicle, Aug. 17.

This corroborates every word of Mr. Cobden's at the
meeting in the Lcndon Tavern.—En. J. C.

The French Government have expressed their ap-

Dufaure, the Minister of the Interior, has ad-
dressed a letter, of which the following is a transla-
tion, to the Committee of Organization in Paris :
" Gentlemen,—Conformably with the verbal ex-
planations which you have done me the honour of
making to me, and with the written request which
you addressed to me on the 21st of July, I authorize
the assembling of the Peace Congress in Paris during
the month of August.
"The object which this Congress has in view is too
philanthropic for me to refuse to give my consent;
besides, the names of the members who form part of
the Committee of Organization give me an additional
guarantee that the Congress will confine itself within
the limits of its programme, and will not permit any
infraction of order or of the laws.

" Receive, Gentlemen, the assurance
" of my most distinguished consideration,
"The Minister of the Interior,
" J. DUFAURE."

We understand that the English and American
delegations combined will leave the London-bridge
Station by special train on Tuesday morning, the
21st, at eight, and expect to reach Paris the same
night. A considerable number of the American
delegates have alrerdy reached England. One of
these gentlemen, the Hon. Mr. Durkee (member of
the House of Representatives), travelled 2,000 miles
from the far West before embarking at New York,
purposely to attend the Congress.
