SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 80, 1s4s.

Strive compelled TO seize all the public moneys
which he found in the places through which he
came, to force the inhabitants to JON his banner,
and to proclaim martial law wherever he went
HIS troops, consisting OF German, Italian, and Po-
hsh fugltives, and amounting in the beginning to
about $50 men, soon increased to over 5000. But
this plan also proved his ruin. Many were COM
PEELED to Join his army who were opposed to his
cause. The dread of his power, the fear of being
treated as traitors, according to the martial law,
induced them to take up, arms against their own
will and inclination As long as they found no re-
gular troops to oppose them so long all went WELL
His army continually increased, and he was al
ready IN the ossession of several hundred thou
sand forms, plundered from the public treasures.
At Staufiep, however, he met the troops that were
sent to oppose him.. Great CONSERVATION and over
whelmIDg fear befel his followers; and, after the
Der retreated in confusion, sought shelter in tie
neighborpg woods, and hid themselves wherever
they could: The republicans were completely
routed, and Strive himself ESCAPED only by means
OF his fleet horse. More than 100 prisoners were
taken, bound and delivered to the authorities as
traitors to their country
Meanwhile, similar revolt was projected IN
several pats Of Wurtemberg, in Rohweil, He'll.
meeting the same fate. In Cologne, and in great
portion of Baden and Wurtemberg, martial law
was proclaimed by the, regular government, and
all who were found with arms numerically slam.
The leader of the revolt at Rottweil, who also
published edict similar to the one of Strive,
was captured at village near the boundary of
Switzerland, whittier he attempted to fly. HIS
name is G. Ram; he is very wealthy man--pos-
sesses a glass mandatory in Wuerttemberg,
worth more than $4,000 forms, and has lately been
the editor of a republican paper published at Slut
CART A number of citizens of Stuttgart Messrs.
Werner, palinger, Mercy, Simon, &C.. are also
captured, having been In connection with Strive
and Raw, and condemned to the penitentiary,
(Hobenasperg.) Strive contrlved to evade his
pursuers for several days. but, at last, he be-
trayed and delivered to the police by two of his
own mep, who declared that they were compelled
to join his army, and thus revenged themselves for
the injustice done them. Strive was immedi-
ately thrown in chains, and carried IN an open
wagon. together with his wife. who had taken
an enthusiastic interest IN the cause of IL
berry to Mannheim, in Baden. II is said that
the popuace made ferocious attempts to get at
him, and he would doubtless have been torn to
pieces, if whole company OF soldiers had not ac-
companed the wagon and guarded HIM from the
fierce mob, who but few days previously had
greeted him as their dellverer, and sworn eternal
| fidelity to the cause of liberty Strive was very
pale; he sat istlessly IN the wagon, and gazed in
tently upon his beautiful wife, resting IN his arms
and hiding her fair face in his bosom. The whole
country was in great alarm. 1t is certain that all
| of these movements were projected to take place
| simulane ously, and the leaders had counted upon
the inhabitants of the country to join them in great
| numbers The passage of the armistice in Par
lament, which created such intense excitement
were posted at Frankfort on.the- Main to give the
| signal imme dlatey, and thus they disconnected
the whole plan; Strive, Ram, and the others, now
/ saw themselves compelled to break forth also;
secret until the 18th October, was in this manner
discovered The governments had time and
warning TO prepare themselves. The result is a
complete failure of the whole affair: II is impos-
been, if the plan should have come to maturity
Perhaps the bloodshed would have been much
greater and the effect the same.
AS it is republic is at much greater distance
Al w. Ill zE
and portions of them rowing through the regions
! of the Black Forest, still commit deplorable ex-
cesses, burning and plunderng villages and towns,
violating the women, and numbering those who
O7Tose them. This excltes, as matter of course
The Indignation OF the whole population, and all
these crimes are laid to the charge of Strive, and
serve TO retard the republican cause,
The proceedings of the National Convention
have lost much of their interest in consequence
of the late events. The independence of the
church from the state, and of the school from the
church, is pronounced. In regard to the armstice,
nothing has been done since the 10Th of Septem-
Der.
On the 2sth and 10Th of last month, the annual
FAIR at Connstadt took place. This fair, called
similar to the Mechanics, Agricultural and other
fairs of the United States, and consists in a col
lection of the finest horses, cattle sheep, &C., also
of the finest fruits, grain, and new inventions,
which are exposed TO the view of the public. A
large pyramid Is built in the centre of a vast
me adow, trbunes erected in circle of aboutth
miles in circumference, and tent in the centre,
by the side OF the pyramid, for the accommodation
of the royal family and the judges. Premiums to
the amount of several thousand forms are distrib-
uted to the proprietors of the finest specimens pre-
sented IN the several departments, TO the victors
in athletic exercises, horse and foot races to the
best singers and musicians, &c. All of these ex-
ercises take place in the sight of the public and
laundering applause rewards the victor and ac-
companies his triumph
II was generally supposed that another demon
of ortxy falxo plac
on this occasion, as more than 10000 persons gen.
orally participated in the festivities. But the fear
was entirely groundess. The whole meadow,
all the neighboring villages and roads were sur
rounded with troops; not less than fifty thousand
cavalry infantry and artillery, were posted in the
different parts of Wurtemberg on this day. Not
the least disturbance, however, took place.
What the fate Of Strive. Ram, and the other
leaders of the conspiracy will be, Is yet unknown;
sCme think it dangerous to execute them But
they can hardly expect to obtain mercy They
will probably be shot in private, order to pre-
vent mob at their execution. $50
