AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The following letter from Madame MA,,)ERir,a•cir,
which appears in the Wanderer of Vienna, com-
pletely confirms the accounts which we have givtui of
the atrocities perpetrated by the woman-floggers iyho
rule over the red monarchy of Austria, the with tm-
ticity of which some of the Russo-Austrian prints: in
this country have ventured to deny. The editm• of
the Wanderer vouches for the authenticity of itbe
document, which is as follows :

•
" Ruskby, Sept. 18.
" I will narrate to you the fate of my family with
calmness and composure, for my heart is become
stave. In our neighbourhood an army of Hungarians
surrendered, 10,000 men with 40 cannon. Two days
later the Austrian troops entered our town. They
consisted of a detachment of Lichtenstein light horse,,
commanded by Captain a native of Ruskby. It
is possib a that the great domestic happiness winch I
enjoyed may have stirred envy and gained me enern'.es
in Ruskby, but of no other crime am I guilty. Two
families, low and coarsely bred, and --, set this
captain on _this horrible crime. I was torn from the
arms of my husband, from the circle of my children,
from the halloa ed sanctuary of my home, charged with
no offence, allowed no hearing, arraigned before no
judge. I, a woman, wife, and mother, was, in
my own native town, before the people accustomed
to treat me with respect, dragged into a square of
soldiers, and there scourged with rods. Look, I can
write this without dropping dead. But my husband
killed himself. Robbed of all other weapons, he
shot himself with a pocket pistol. A cry of horror
filled the air. I was dragged further to Karansebes.
The people rose, and would have killed those who
instigated these horrors, but their lives were saved by
the interference of the military. My eldest son was
taken prisoner with the army of Georgey, and sent as a
common soldier into Italy; and so is the measure of my
grief full. Can you picture to yourself the state of my
mind? You knew not my husband. I tell you that no
nobler, more elevated, more adorable character does or
ever will exist. The productions of his intellect are
known. Ile was the inventor of iron bridges. In him
the world has sustained a great loss. My misfortune is
boundless, and unexampled aro the tortures which I have
endured. My grief will be eternal. You will conceive
that I can dwell on nothing but my sorrow. One only
wish still animates me—to liberate my son. They have
transported him to Gratz. If you have friends there,
think of 'my poor boy of eighteen.

" F. VON MADERS?ACH."

The Austrian officer who superintended the
flogging of Madame MADERSBACK was Captain
GRAUER.

those made abroad, whizh are calculated at about
30.000,000 florins ; Amsterdam alone has subscribed
from 10,000,000 florins to 15,000,000 florins. The
amounts taken by the houses of ROTHSCHILD and
