PsndiDg-Wiu Europe be Republican or
COssacks
We publish, in another part of this days paper
q summary of European intelligence, which was
conveyed to this continent by the steamship Gale
donna, and which reached this city last evening,
BY express and telegraph.
The most important feature of this intelligence
Is the fact that several engagements have occurred
between the Hungarans and the Austro- Russian
forces which resulted in partial successes for
the Hunganans. There is no indication that that
gallant people have met with any adverses; and
10 thinned and exhausted are the imperial forces,
as well as those of the Emperor of Russia, in con-
sequence of this struggle, that letter from Vienna
10 Paris states that overtures for settlement Of
all difficulties between Austria and Hungary, have
been submitted by the former. In the absence OF
our foreign exchanges and correspondence, we are
not prepared TO express an opinion as to whether
hose overtures will be received but we rather
think that the Hungarans they have gone so far,
and have been so successful IN counteracting all
The plans that were put in operation, and defeat
ed all the force that brought into the fied for
the purpose Of subugating them, will not be satisfied
with less than perfect and complete recognition
Of their Independence a nation. However, we
will be enabled to say more on this subject when
we receive our files and correspondence. We shall
probably get both this morning, and, in our eve
ming edition to-day, and in to-morrows paper, we
shall publish full details of the news. 1t will
be recollected, that, at the last accounts, Vienna
was threatened by the victorious Hungarians, and
that great CONSERVATION prevailed in that capital in
consequence. In order to protect that city, We
learn that the Austrians called on the KING of Ba-
vara for the assistance of fifty thousand men, and
that sovereign was about TO comply with the re-
snisition, and furnish the desired assistance, at
the last accounts.
From France there is nothing exciting or inn
portant by this arrival The legislative assembly
has adjourned, but not before angry and strong
debate had taken place between the parties, the
result Of which was, that M. Pierre Bonaparte was
arrested and committed, for making assault
the person Of brother member of that body.
In fifty years, said the far-seeing Napoleon, on
the Island Of Elba, Europe will be republican
Cossack. The time for the realization Of the pre-
dicton, in one way or the other, is close at hand;
and if the whole Of that quarter OF the world were
animated by the same spirit which inspires the
Hungarians, In their uneven and unequal struggle
with the Austro-Russian armies, there would be
no fear as to the result But they are not; and
among those who desire that Europe shall be
Cossack rather than republican, is the individual
now at the head of the French nation, between
whom and the chief Of the Cossacks there seems TO
be an amicube and friendly understanding, if not
posnive alliance. In prosecuting the Poles, In
deny ing to that suffering and much-abused people
an asylum, refuge from persecution in republican
France, Louis Napoleon has identified himself
with the Gar OF Russia the chief OF the Cosslcas
The latter wrote an amiabe and interesting letter
to Louis Napoleon. entreaiing hun to Danish from
Frnnce the Polish refugees who had taken shelter
within its dominions, An equally nmiabe and IN
kres,ng letter Of compliance was returned, and in
this resp,ci, at least if not in others, France has
become Coesack There 10 no knowing to what
further extent Louis Napoleon may not be willing
10 eblife the chief Of the Cossackf provided, we
suppose, the Gar will rcciProcate the favor by aid
ing Louis Napoleon in furthering his views in es-
tsbli,hmg a regal or imperial dynasty in France,
with he unworthy self al the head Of it.
II, however, the Hungarians succeed in esiab-
Fishing their national independence, the Cossack
alliance between Louis Napoleon and the Car OF
Russia will be Of no avail The heart of the
massC cf the French people is in the right place,
end never VIII respond to any attempt ct the
French government to suppress the glorious aspi-
rations Of the whole people Of Europe for liberty.
But that the innate military honor Of the French
,oldiery, was wounded when the defenders Of
Rome attacked and repulsed them when they
marched to the gates Of the eternal city and de-
uanded its surrender, they never would have
fought against Roman liberty, for the purpose Of
reinststng the Pspsl sovereign in the position
which he deserted.
