Though left for dead, he revived for few hours,

scenes of the old French revolution can compare
with these. remember Llchnowsky, last winter,
at Berlin, IN the Prusslan Diet as the idol of the
people, on account of his liberal principles;
man. although neither was inclined to a
republlc-thus have affairs changed Many
other of the members would have shared the
same fate, but for the timely arrival and action of
the troops. There was list of the prescribed, and
on 1t was Gagern, the President of the Assembly,
and undoubtedly one of the purest men of the coun
try, and member of the left centre IN politics. So
great was the bitterness against Dr. Hecksher late
Minister OF Foreign Affairs, that he secreted HIM
self IN the house OF political opponent to avoid
suspicion; and the mob, supposing him in the Ex-
change, were preparing to burn il, in order to be
sure of their prey. Military force put down the
lnsurrecnoD, and Frankfort was saved from mas
saacre and plllage, by being placed IN a state of
siege.
| confess myself somewhat deceived in the
character OF the Germans calm, modest and
thinking nation--l expected political develop
ment which would be reasonable and honest, and
never looked tor the excuses OF French fury and
French blood. On the contrary. they meet and
proclaim openly their sympathy for the red flag
and red republic; and meeting of five thousand
In Cologne, have just resolved that the barricade
men OF Frankfort, and brutal murderers of Llchnow-
sky and Anerswald, shave deserved well of their
country'' The latter city has been the scene of
fatal disorders; and the red men, like savages of
the west, hung their victim to post, and danced
around him. This has led to state of siege in
Cologne, and the suppression of all but three
journals.
A general war seems to have been concerted
throughout Germany, as Baden has again been
the scene of boodshed. Strive, at the head of
the Swiss refugees, crossed the boundary between
Switzerland and Baden, and proclaimed himself
6 President of the Provisional Government of the
German Republic" He began his career quite
significant of the red republic, by robbing the
post coaches, Offices of the treasury and churches,
abollsblng taxes, and promising wealth and lux
uIy to all, proclalming martial law, and forcing
al! the men. between the ages of is and 10, to Join
his standard, under pain of being shot if they re-
fused, with the exception OF some rich Jews, who
bought their ransom In short, the whole party
commenced life as highwaymen, and robbed and
plllaged every place they passed through. The
reign of terror lasted thlrty-sx hours IN the form
OF a government, and several days, IN consequence
of the retreating bands having transformed
themselves into. hordes of robbers. The mi
ltary met with very little resistance, find
ing, the red men extremely expert runners,
and were everywhere hailed as dellverers. The
whole affair was digraceful in the extreme, and
appears to have been undertaken by Strive with
out the knowledge or sympathy of most of his
trends. The very men whom he looked upon as
supporters seized him in his flight and delivered
him to the hands of justice. Some of the ring
leaders have been caught, but the most have
escaped All the lower part of Baden has been
placed In state OF siege, and troops are still
being concentrated there by the central power of
Frankfort. 1t is supposed that strong military
torce will be placed on the frontier of Switzer-
land, to protect further nroads, and there is some
fa nfa offo Suit IS
breach OF faith In favoring depredatory ncursions
INTO German territory, while protesting neutrali-
ty. The German ambassador has left for that coun-
try, with special instructions to demand explicit
explanations.
Thus stands the state of liberty in Germany,
thanks to the red efforts of the socialists. Frank
fort, Cologne, and Baden, in state of siege;
clubs forbidden; meetings In the open air forbid
den; the press conhscated; and the leading dema-
gogues either arrested or fleeing from Justice
Either the anarchists or the men of the sword
must rule this winter. 1t is needless to ask which
OF the two the majority prefer. Black, black is

Death of Lambrg- Proclamation of the Govern
memt--Humgary-- Terrible anarchy, &c.
Yesterday, Kossuth returned from Herskemet,
and announced to the Chamber of Deputies that in
two days he had been able to send Il, 900 men to
the camp. M. Madaraess spoke of the royal re-
SCRIPT, which he called illegal. The manlfestoes of
the Emperor of Austria were then put to the vote
and declared to be invalid, not being counterslgn,
ed by Hungarian minister. BY this vote, Count
Lambefg was declared incapable of taking the
command OF the army, and all persons obeying
the rescrpt of the Emperor were declared guilty
OF treason to the constitution. THIS morning,
Count Lamberg arrived at Pesth, without escort.
As he came secretly, 1t was some time before the
fact transplred but at length some national guards
OF Dude arrived, and announced that Lamberg had
assembled the officers, and informed them that
in fu ture they would be under his ORDERS and that
the officers had refused to obey him. Groups then
formed, and the public Indignation against Lam
berg was very strong. In the meantime, Lamberg
went to the Ministry, and on leaving, got into a
hackney coach; an armed group followed the
coach, and about twenty national guards, with
view of protecting Lamberg, surrounded 1t; but
suddenly an armed body arrived from the Pesth
side, and IT was impossible for the coach to adj
vance. Lamberg was torn from it by the people,
and fell, pierced with many mortal wounds The
cause of this assassination is said to be that the
people would not have any other communicating
chief than the Archduke Stephen, and the national
guard refused to obey the Count. The inhabitants
conducted themselves like cannibals: the lnhuman
crowd cut the body In pieces, and actually dis
puted for bit of the body of the unfortunate man.
have received the following more detailed par
ticulars the ASSASSINATION of Count Lamberg -
So soon as the infuriated popuace of Pesth had
learned that he had arrived to replace the Arch
which he had iANuded to take up his residence
Finding that the crowd was ripe for mischief, he
contryed to leave the premises, and crossed over
the bridge to Buda, where he sought refuge in the
house of The commander-in.chief. The building,
however, was speedily attacked, and the count, in
disguise, attempted to regain Pesth IN a carriage,
IN order to deliver his credentials to the Hungarian
Diet, Whilst crossing the bridge, he was recog-
Missed, his pane was pronounced aloud and he
was instantlycut down by a number OF men armed
with spades and scythes. He was then literally
hacked and hewed to pieces. He has lett widow
his unhappy fate. In another account it is stated
that the count first proceeded to Buda, and that it
was whilst making the second attempt to cross
the bridge, in order to communicate to the Diet
the order of his imperial master, that he was killed
IN the manner described. 1t may be stated here,
that the national guards had previously resolved
not to obey the royal commissioner, and that the
Diet itself had denounced as a traitor any person
who should attempt to give publicity to any royal
