estimated at 246,000 florins. The Imperial troops
have already taken possession of their winter quarters.
Eighty-four villages have been already supplied with
garrisons of at least one battalion each. It appears
from a report of the Minister of War, that the total
number of arms taken from the Hungarians are
660,151 muskets, 2,897 pistols, 216,000 swords, 2,073
lances, and 500 cannons of various calibre.
The following is the official letter which General
BEM addressed to the SULTAN from the camp of
Widdin :
" Sire,—l have always fought against the Emperor of
Russia, your enemy and ours. My last acts which were
done in Hungary were prompted by the same spirit.
" Your Majesty is acquainted with the obstacles which
there checked the success of our arms. I now Owe my
services at your Majesty's disposal in combatting our
common foe the Emperor of Russia. As a guarantee of
my zeal and devotion, I declare my readiness to embrace
Islamism.—l have the honour, &c.
(Signed) " General BEM."
The French Minister at Vienna has refused to
grant any more passports to political refugees.
The Wanderer, a Vienna paper, states that eight
of the newly appointed county commissioners in Hun-
gary have declined accepting office ; others, who had
accepted, have resigned. Among them are PAUL
SOMISCH, late member for the county of Barany and
leader of the Conservative party at the Pressburgh
Diet of 1847; GEORGE MAJLATII, jun., late Lord-
Lieutenant of the county of Barany ; Kim; SENYEY ;
NERMENYI, late Lord-Lieutenant of the county of
Tolna; KOHENZY, Administrator of the county of
Ochdenburg ; the Count PECIIY EMANUEL : in short,
all the heads of that party, which previous to March,
1848, sided with the Government. These gentlemen
protest that, under present circumstances, it is im-
possible for them to benefit their country.
Letters from Cracow of the 13th inst., in the
Breslauer Zeitung, state that a large corps of
,
Russian troops was expected to arrive in that town
on the 15th inst., on their way to the north. There
is now but a small Russian garrison at Cracow, and
that garrison, too, is to leave with the other troops.
A strong Austrian corps, consisting of two regiments
of foot, i 3 preparing to occupy Cracow after the
Russians have left that town.
