Madrid journals of the 13th hare arrived.
The QUEEN and Kura returned to Madrid on tha
day from La Grania.

The Clamor Pafic o of the 13th complains bitterly
of the itijury inflicted on trade by the non publication
of the new law on the tariff, and says that the delay
in giving effect to this measure had caused heavy
losses to the parties engaged in commercial affairs.
The _Epoca has the following statement on the
tariff question :

" The examination of the project of the new tariff was
not seriously commenced till the day before yesterday.
At the first meeting there were present the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs, Finance, the Home Department, end
Marine, the only ones who aro now in Madrid, the
directors and sub-directors of the Customs, and n e know
not whether some other competent persons. A sitting
of two hours ALI take place every day, being devoted to
this important subject, and it is thought that the exami-
nation of the new tariff will be terminated by the 20th.
The printing of the new tariff will occupy eight to tnelve
days, so that the publication will take place at the end of
September or beginning of October.
" It would be rash at this time to say what spirit will
dominate in these sittings and what alterations will be
made in the project adopted by Senor Mon. It is gene-
rally believed that the tariff will be somewhat more Pro-
tectionist in some chapters."
The Heraldo says:—
" They write from Naples that the Infante Don Se-
bastian desires ardently to return to Spain. It would
please us very much to see these desires satisfied, as an
additional proof of the reconciliation of all Spaniards,
and of the existence of a definitive state of things which
no human power can now overthrow."
The Finance Minister BRAVO MURILLO was en-
deavouring to negotiate a fresh loan.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
A letter from Vienna of the lath says—" Marshal
RADzTZKI has this day made a triumphal entry into
this city. He was received at the railway station by
the Ban JELLACHICH, Prince SCHWARTZENBERG,
Count GMAT', Minister of War, the Minister of
Commerce, Baron WELDBN, Governor of the city, and
the military and civil authorities. The population
greeted him with enthusiastic shouts, and flowers
were showered on him from the windows. An illu-
mination and serenade were to be given in his honour
in the evening, The Municipal Council of Vienna
intends to confer the right of honorary citizenship on
the Marshal and on the Ban JELLACHICH, and it is
reported on Prince WINDISHGRATZ also."
The Austrian Lloyd's announces that the Minister
of Finance is about to issue a new loan, and to take
measures with respect to the reserved shares of the
Bank, which will effect a radical reform in the estab-
lishment.

According to the Vienna journals of the lila
80,000 men are to besiege Comorn, under the orders
of Generals HArsAu and NUGENT. The bombard-
ment was to commence on that day. The Austrians
had occupied great part of the island of Schutt with-
out resistance, but part of the insurgents were in a
strong entrenched camp before the fortress, and it
was expected that a battle would take place there.
Three Hungarian officers had been put to death at Arad
and Temeswar, one by hanging, and the estates of
two were confiscated.

The Russians continued to retire from Hungary.
On taking possession of Peterwardein, the Austrians
found 300 guns and 4,000 muskets.
On the 4th the new Austrian Constitution was for-
mally promulgated at Agram, before the Council of
the Banat of Croatia and the local authorities.
The King of HANOVER has addressed a letter to
General HAyNau, complimenting him on his services
in Hungary, and conferring on him the Cross of the
Order of the Guelphs.
A letter from Klagenfurth of the 11th inst., ad-
dressed to the Austrian Lloyds, says:—
" Georgcy arrived here this morning with his wife, his
physician, and Major Andraoy. He will be at perfect
liberty here. As his arrival was expected, a great Dum-
ber of people went to see him enter the city."
The following letters from GEORGEY to RUDIGER,
proposing to surrender, and from GEORGEY to
KLAPHA, urging him to give up the fortress of Co.
morn, have been published in the German journals:—
"TO GENERAL RUDIGER.
" GI nerat—You know too well the sad history of my
country that I should need to weary you with the repe-
tition of the dismal Thain of events, which involved us
ever deeper in a struggle of desperation, first for our legi-
timate liberties, afterwards for our existence. The
better, and, as I believe, the greatest part of the nation
have not sought this struggle thoughtlessly, but, with
the help of many honourable men, who, although not
victo-
riously aintaiwl
it, drawn into the contest,
belonging to tho nation, were, through their relations to
valiantly,firmly, and
:heir cauf.e. The policy of Europe

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The decree of the PRESIDENT authorising the
Bishops to hold their Council, and the report of the
Minister on what it is founded, have excited the
ire of part-pretre, and the ridicule of the liberal
party. The parti-pretre loudly declare that they
never required such authorization, and that they
should have met in spite of any temporal law forbid.
ding their meeting, because the spiritual power being
superior to the temporal, the latter must always give
way to the former; in fact they declare that priests
are superior to all laws, and thus throw down the
gauntlet, which we hope the Executive will have the
courage to take up and vindicate the majesty
of the law ; for liberty, civil or religious, is
impossible where such pretensions are admitted.
The Republicans, on the other hand, taunt the Go-
vernment with their panic fear in the presence of the
priesthood.
The National, in the course of a most sarcastic
article on this subject, observes—
" The report of the Minister is curious; no one can
fail to remark how timid and embroiled it is. Any per
son capable of reading must perceive that the necessary
authorization bad never been asked for. At the last
moment the weak Government by which we are ruled,
not daring to assert formally the recognition of the law,
and ashamed to abandon it. adopted the middle course of
granting what nobody asked—a miserable expedient,
which can serve no other purpose than that of giving the
measure of its incurable weakness."
The article concludes thus :
"The Government has, on its side, obeyed the Organic
Law—that is certain ; but it is equally certain that, on
their side, the Fathers of the Council have not obeyed it;
and it appears to us a matter to be deeply regretted that
men so I oly should set such an example."
The Evenernent states that the illness of M. DR
FALLOUX is a nervous intermittent fever, and that he
will go to Versailles for change of air as soon as he
shall have gained sufficient strength to be removed.
" It is certain," adds the Evenement, " that M. DE
FALLoux will not retire from office before the discus-
sion in the Assembly, in which he will defend the
line of policy that he has pursued."
The Credit says :
" We are assured that, after several meetings, held
lately at the Ministry of Public Instruction, the family
of M. de Falloux „has charged one of its members to
convey to the President of the Council of Ministers an
intreaty that he will cease to urge M. de Fallout to re-
main in the Cabinet, and to transmit to the President of
the Republic his formal resignation, which has been
placed in the hands of M. Odilon Barret."
The Constitutionnel contains the following an-
nouncement:—
" Rear-Admiral Romain Desfosses has been named to
succeed M. Le Predour in the command of the naval
division in the Rio Plata. M. Desfos:* will shortly
leave for Brest, where he will hoist his flag on board
the Pandore frigate, which will have a poop deck built
for his accommodation. The Prony steamer will accom-
pany the Pandore to La Plata. The mission of Admiral
Desfess6s does not appear to be of a purely naval charac-
ter; he has had frequent conferences with the Minister
of Foreign Affairs."
The cholera has broke out in Toulon, and such was
the panic among the population occasioned by its
appearance, that more than one-third of the inha-
bitants fled from the town. The military have offered
their services to attend on the sick. In Paris the
cholera is decreasing.
The Gasette des Hopitaux says—
" The diminution in the cholera, which we spoke of
in our last account, has been maintained during the last
three days, and even appears to have a tendency to be-
come more marked. The average number of admissions
on Wednesday and Thursday was only 25, and that of
the last three days 24. This is certainly no very great
difference, but still it is tranquillising, since it is another
term in a decreasing progression, and because it comes
at a moment when it is' allowable, unless circumstances
altogether unexpected should arise, to fix the natural
termination of the epidemic."
The Pattie of last evening has the following :
"An Italian journal, the Concordia, has stated, and
on its authority a Paris journal has repeated, that the
expulsion of Garibaldi from Piedmont had been occa-
sioned by a note from the French Government. We are
in a position to declare in the most categorical manner
that this allegation is completely void of foundation."

The following letter has been addressed to PASKE.
WITCH by the Emperor of AUSTRIA :
" Schonbrun, Aug. 22.
'° Prince of Warsaw!—The good news which your Serene Highness was phased to communicate
to me in your letter of the 16th has caused to me satisfaction as
sincere as it is just. The brave army which you command,
Field-Marshal, which is accustomed to victory under
your orders, has brilliantly justified, in the Hungarian
campaign, its long-acquired glory. Your Highness has
obtained, upon the Hungarian fields of battle, new claims
upon the satisfaction of his Imperial Majesty, my most
illustrious friend and ally, as well as upon my profound
gratitude. The most eminent honour attached to
your services is found in the brilliant result. To have
compelled a considerable portion of the insurgent army to
surrender unconditionally without the sacrifice of valiant
blood, is a mightier triumph, Prince, than, many
blood-stained laurels. As a public and certain mark of
my lively gratitude, I transmit with this letter the in•
siguia of a grand cross of my order of Maria Theresa.
Most undoubtedly, Fieldi.Marshal, would I cast an im-
penetrable veil over the past it I dared follow the die
tates of my own heart, end the first wish of my heart
would be (esmir mer angelcgen sain lassen) to discover
means for healing the sanguinary wounds which the
criminal insurrection has indicted upon unhappy Hun-
gary. But I must not forget that I have a sacred duty
to per.orm to the rest of my people, and that the general
welfare of my empire imposes duties and considerations
upon me that I must not lose sight of. Nevertheless,
your Highness has done me justice in premising that
my happiness would be more complete in proportion to
the fortearance which I may be enabled to exhibit in
my rightful and general estimation of all these important
events.

",'Accept, Field-Marshal, the renewed assurances or the
consideration and siecera attachment with which I re-
main your welk-dikposed,
(Signed)

PRSIA.
The Borsenhalle of Berlin states that the Prussian
army is about to be reduced, and that the battalions
ofinfantry will henceforth be only, 802 strong, in-
stead of 1,002. The regiments of Landwehr are, it
adds, to be broken up, but some companies are to be
maintained.

The Berlin State Gazette announces that the lines
of telegraph belonging to the Government will shortly
be thrown open to the use of the public.
The state of siege of Posen has just been raised.
A letter from Stettin states that, since the conclu-
sion of the armistice between Prussia and Denmark,
trade has become very active in that town and in all
the neighbourhood. An abolition or reduction of the
Sound dutits was discussed. There was a scarcity of
sailors, owing to the great number which had been
taken by the vessels of war.

SWITZERLAND.
We find the following in the Ticino Gazelle:—
"It has been remarked /Or some time p:,st that the
Austrian troops have been increased in an extraordi
nary manner on the frontiers of Ticino, without the
slightest apparent object. This circumstance, added
to, the reports which are circulated in the German,
English, and French journals, as to a project of in.
tervention in Switzerland, and on the fears of the
occupation of the canton of Ticino, has awakened
the attention of the Council of State of that canton,
which has applied to the Federal Council on the
subject, calling its attention to this important affair,
and demanding the adoption of measures necessary
to tranquillise the minds of the inhabitants of the
canton. The Federal Council replied on the 10th
by the following dispatch to the Council of State of
Inuo, which, while calining the minds of the people,

led to the alliance of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia
with Austria, in order to put us down by conquk st, and
render all further struggle for the Hungarian Constitu-
tion impossible.
" This came to pass. Many of the genuine true
patriots of Hungary had foreseen this event, and pro-
claimed it warningly. The history of our days will
hereafter reveal what induced the Provisional Govern.
ment to close its ear to those warning voices. This
Provisional Government exists no longer. The height
of peril had found it at the weakest. I, the man of ec•
tion, but not of ineffectual action, saw that all further
bloodshed was useless, disastrous for Hungary. I had
seen it in the beginning of the Russian intervention. I
called to-day upon the Provisional Government to ab-
dicate unconditionally, because its continuance in
power could only render darker from day to-
day, and more deplorable the future of our father-
land. The Provisional Government admitted this, and
voluntarily resigned, laying down the supreme power in
my hands. I avail myself of this circumstance, ae•
cording to my best persuasion, in order to spare the
effusion of blood, and to liberate my peaceful fellow-
citizens, whom I am too weak any longer to protect,
from at least the miseries of war, by laying down arms
unconditionally, and thereby perhaps giving the im-
pulse to the leaders of the divisions of the Hungarian
forces, separated from me, shortly to do the s .me, ac-
knowledging like me that this at present is the best that
can be done for Hungary. I confide while so doing in
the far-famed magnanimity of 11. M. the Czar, that so
many of my brave comrades, who by the force of cir-
cumstances as former Austrian officers, got involved in
this unhappy struggle with Austria, should not be
sacrificed to a mournful, uncertain fate, and the deeply
bowed down people of Hungary, who rely upon his love
of justice, should not be given over unarmed to the blind
vengeance of their enemies. Perhaps it would be atone-
ment enough it I were accepted as a sacrifice for all.
" I address this letter to you, General, because I
received first from you those proofs of esteem which
won my confidence. Hasten, if you wish to stop
further useless bloodshed, to bring as speedily as
possible to effect the sad act of laying down arms,
but in such a manner that it may take place only in
the presence of the troops of his Majesty the
Emperor of Russia ; for I solemnly declare that I will
rather let my whole corps be destroyed in desperate
battle against overwhelming odds, than unconditionally
lay down arms before the Austrian troops. I march
to morrow, Aug. 12, to Villagos, the day after to-morrow,
lath, to Boros Jeno, on the 14th to Beel, which I com-
municate to you, that you may bring your forces between
the Austrian troops and mine, so as to enclose and part
us from them.
"Should this manoeuvre not succeed, and the Austrian
troops follow me close, I will give them a decided re-
pulse, and draw off my forces towards Grosswardein, in
order in this way to reach the Imperial Russian army,
before which alone my troops have declared themselves
ready voluntarily to lay down their arms. I expect your
esteemed answer within the shortest time possible, and
conclude with the assurance of my high regard.
"ARTHUR GEORGE; Hungarian General.
" Old Arad, Aug 11, 1849."
The following is his letter to KLAPRA
Gein, Aug. 16. " Dear friend Klapka,—Sincerosswar we lastd met, events de-
cisive, though not unanticipated, have occurred. The
eternal jealousies of the Government, and the vulgar
animosities of some of its members, have led to the
results that I foresaw last April. Having crossed the
RTheussiiss at Tokay, after many an honest fight with the
ans, a decree of the Diet conferred upon me the
supreme command. Kossuth secretly nominated Bern.
The country thought I was the man, because Kossuth
gave a Jesuitical answer to the resolution of the As-
sembly. This rascality was the cause of every subse-
quent occurrence. Dembinski lost a battle at Szareg;
Bern was beaten at Maros-Vasarhely. The latter
hastened to Temesvar, under whose walls Dem-
binski retired. He arrived on the field during
the battle of Temesvar, protracted the contest
for some hours ; but was then so thoroughly
routed, that of the 50,000 men (according to Kossuth's
quotation) only 6,000 remained together. The rest
were scattered, as Veesey himself told me. Meanwhile
the Austrians advanced between Temesvar and Arad.
Dembinski's orders from the War-office were to retreat
on the fortress Arad, and not on Temesvar, that was in
hostile hands; but Dembinski ran counter to their
orders wherefore, I know not, but there are too many
grounds for supposing it was from jealousy of me. The
consequence of all this was, that I found myself standing
alone with the force I had brought with me from Co-
morn, after subtracting the great losses I suffered
at Waitzen, Reasay, Gorontiily, Isol.ca, Gessthely, and
Debreczin ; the Austrians threatening me on the
south, and the Russian main force on the
north. I bed, it is true, one line of retreat from
Arad over Rsdua to Transylvania ; but for the sake
of my country, that I was determined, cost what
it might, to pacify, I resolved to capitulate. [Here,
you will observe, nothing is said of Schlick's victory on
the Maros over a part of Georgey's army.] I had pre-
viously reasoned with the Provisional Government on
the inutility of their attempting to serve the country
longer, and prevailed upon them to resign. They acted
upon
my counsels, and confided in my hands all civil and
cou any
military power; upon which I, as there was no time to
lose, formed the sudden though not ill-digested determi-
nation to surrender at discretion to the army of the
Russian Emperor. The bravest of the brave in my army
gave me their support, and all the army divisions in the
immediate vicinity joined on Le us of their own free will.
The fortress of Arad, under Damjanich, has declared its
readiness to do likewise. Hitherto we have been treated
as brave soldiers deserve and have a right to expect at
the hands of breve soldiers. Weigh and ponder well
what you can and what you ought to do.
(Signed) " ARTHUR GEORGEY."
The Vienna journals publish the following par-
ticulars of the surrender of Petervvarclein :
" Al ter the plenipotentiaries had met on the 4th near
Marx Schnee, the deputies of Peterwardein returned to
the fortress. The officers, who w, re well aware that
they bad incurred severe punishment for their treason,
sought to induce the garrison to decide against capitu-
lation. They formed into two parties, who on the 6th
proceeded from words to blows, and several were killed
and wounded. The party for capitulation remained
