The following selections, from English
papers to the 2Slh October will be read with
interest:
AusrRsA.-The following extract from
the Emperor's proclamation investing Prince
Windischgraz with the command of the
imperial forces, expresses a resolution to
crush The insarreetion by force of arms:
81 am compelled, with bleeding heart. to
meet the rebellion which now shamefully
rears its head in my residentiary city, as
!. well as in other places wheresover it may
appear to oppose il by the force of arms, and
81 combat it till it shall have been complate-
Iy quelled, and the murderers of my faith
full servants, the Counts Lamberg and La
tour, are given over to the avenging hand Of
jus'ice.
'For the attainment Of this object, send
from divers parts of the monarchy, nv mill
,ary armies against Vienna, that seat of the
insurrec.ion, and by these presents commit
10 my field marshals, Lieut.. General Prince
Wndeschgratz, the command in chief of all
the troops throughout the whole extent Of
my dominions, with the sole exception of the
Italian army, under the command of my
field marshall, Count Radelzky.
''At the same time give the Prince the
full requisite powers in order that peace may
be restored, according TO his own judgment,
within the shortest possible time. After
subduing the armed rioters and restoring
peace, it will be the task Of my ministers. in
unison with the members Of the consti,u-
aional Diet. to bring about by legal regula-
lions a state Of things in the hitherto lcen-
tiousl y-abused press, the right of association
and popular ornaments, which, without in
fringing liberty, shall secure authority and
Iespec. for the laws"
From the London Standard Of Oct %.
A rumor was circulated in Berlin that the
Emperor Nicholas had declared his inen-
aion to march 100000 men to Vienna the
moment that the Hungarians crossed the
Austrian frontier. There is some appear
ance Of truth in this statement; for it will
be recollected that few days since, we
were told that the Hungdrians had recrossed
the Austrian frontier, which fact we find full
ly confirmed by M. Zulieks, as Chairman
of the Committee of Safety, in the National
Assembly on the evening of the 18Th; and
upon question being pu, whether this was
in consequence of the talk Of Russian inter-
venlion, hereplied that she had not received
any official information on the sub iect; but
that he believed the provisional government
atPesth had received an authorized in,ima,ion
toihis efectfrom Warsaw or ST. Petersburgh."
Whatever, therefore, might have been the
intentions of the Hungarians, or Of the Wen
nese armed population, in endeavoring to
repel the Imperial power, such resolution
on the part of the government of ST. Peters,
burgh might we'll cause the former to pom
der upon the course they were pursuing,
and induce them to return to their native
soil.
IRELAND. - M'Manus, O'Donohue, and
Meagher, were sentenced to death on Mon
day the 23d of October, as O'Bren had been
previously, but we are glad to learn by an
article in the London Times that none of
them are TO be executed. i
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 2S.-The Special Com
mssion-one of the most pro,racted that,
perhaps, was ever held in Irelapd-has at
length been adjourned until the 9Th Deem
Der, after occupying no less period of time
ahan tweniy-thzee days. The immediate re-
suit is the trial, conviction, and sentence of
four persons for the crime of high treason;
whilst several of the humber class OF the
people still await the decision which the law
Officers Of the crown shall adop, in relation
10 prosecuting them.
The sentence pronounced upon the three
prisoners 6rst mentioned above, is as fol-
lows, by Lord Chief Justice of Doherly
Prisoners at the bar, Terence Bellew NJ
Manus, Patrick O'Donohue, and Thomas
Francis Meagher, after deep consideration,
before entering into this court it was my
intention, in the performance of the very
painful duty which devolves upon me, MOI
TO have prolonged your stay at that bar b,
any length Of observation. You, and each
of you appear there having been convicted
by the verdicts of three successive juries of
the crime of high treason--lhe crime of the
greatest enormity known to our laws.
feel bound to say this, that it is the delibe-
rate, dispassionate opinion of the court that
the verdc,s which were found by those iu-
ries, and the verdict which was found bv
former jury, could not have been other than
they were. That no honest, fair, impartial
and conscientious jurors, attending strictly
TO their oa.hs, and listening to the evidence
that was produced in this cour! in the course
of these unusually protected trials, could
have come to any other conclusion than
that which they have done
They have pronounced you one and all
ouiliv of the crime Of hoh treason That
crime consists in having levied war in this
country within and during the last week of
the month Of July-of having levied war for
areasonable purposes-and that you, and
each of you, more or less participated in,
excited to, and prepared for, and were your
selves. some of you more some less. active
