what place soever it might be found. The fortune of
Count BArruyANy, which is likewise confiscated, is
estimated at 150,000 f. to 180,000 f. in rents, inde-
pendent of the marriage portion of his wife, who was
a Countess ZICHY. He has left three children. It
is stated that the widow of Count Louis BarriiTANy
received orders from the military authorities to quit
Hungary with her children. The Lloyd's, on the
contrary, says, that the Countess adopted this resolu- •
tion in consequence of the wish expressed by her
husband a short time before his death.
