The Guardians aud the Queen.-Sir Allen
McNab, now in England, writes home to
his friends who are raising such a dIstur-
bance in Canada, that things look more
promising for them in England. If his
statements are to be relied on, he has been
successful in bringing the English Govern
ment to pause IN their demonstrations OF
favor towards Lord Elgin and his French
supporters, He writes that orders have
been sent not to pay cent for indemnify
to any former rebel. The Queen, he says,
suspends action on the question of approx
Jag the indemnity bill, and motion is to
be made in the House Of Commons for the
production Of the petition sent from Cana
da to the Home Government for the disal-
lowanee of the indemnity bill and the re-
call of Lord Elgin This can hardly be
expected alter the stand already taken by
the British Government, aud its approval oI
Lord Elgin's course. ,-f.s ...-. .-

expedition from New Orleans to take the
Mexican Rio Grand country, of which mo-

On the authority of letter from New Or

enlisted there for "secret purpose"-that
the work is still to go on there and else
where, and that considerable arms are ac-
cumulated, Each man is made acquainted
with secret signs, by which he knows his
fellows, and they are to divulge nothing

These Bulletins are in manner explain
ed by the following news from CONSTANT
nople:
On the 2lst Of June, Gen. IudeTs took
Kronstadt, after violent contest with 400
Hungarians that had been left in that town.
After taking Kronstadt, the Russians
ma rched upon HermanstadL The Hunga-
rians advanced to Torgorash TO meet them.
After bloody butiIe, which lasted 30
hours, Gen. Lnders being totally defeated,
retFeaied TO KOnstadat, which city is filled
with the wounded and AyiDg-Another
Russian corps, which was TO force an entry
from Moldayia into Traneylyania at Aylosh,
was likewise roughly handled, aud thrown
back into Modsvia.
There is also Russian bulletin. in which
rhe above statements are contradicted, and
in which it is asserted that the Russians
fought four small battles on the 7th, sth.
10th and 18th instant, in which they killed
200 IIungarans and captured 80, while but
Two Russians were killed and fur wound
ed.
The Commissioners Of the Hungarian
Government writes from Hermanstadt, un-
der date of Sd Of July, that the Russians
have been forced TO retreat to Kronstadt!
BEN was Prepareing to attack that city on
the 9Th or 9lh Of July.
The seat Of the Hungarian government
has been transferred to Arad, on the l4th
July. This last circumstance proves the
assurance with which BEN hopes to finish
with the Russians in TrsnsVIyania, and on
the other hand, it confirms the defeat of Jel.
lachich, because if the army Of the South
was still formidable, the Hungarian govern
ment would never dared to select the city OF
Arad for its residence, as il would be be-
tween two fires.
Thus, it will be seen, that while Dem
binsky and Georgey were chastIsing the
Russians in the North, BEN was in the
South completely crushing The army Of Ban
Jelachich.
OF the latter the Vienna papers furnish
corroboration, ot the same blaming the war

version was made in favor Of the Ban, he
would be completely crushed. God grant

GARABALDI Once he Lived Here lit nav
not be uninteresting to our readers TO know
that Garabaldi, the leader of the insurrec-
ion of Rome, ohce kept public house on
Sixth street, between Plum and Western
Row, in this city. His house was, for some
time. one of the stopping places of the
celebrated Charles Hammond, as editorials
from his pen will show, as any man who has
a file, or who read his paper may see. He
kept liquor, but his eatab.es and familiar,
yet gentlemanly converse, formed the prin.
cipal attraction for Hammond. Many a
time, our old citizens informs US, did the vet
eran editor refer TO Garabadi as the prince
of good eating and good company From
Garabaldi's Industry and good mana nagement
in this city, he made money; and when he
left for Italy, he remarked that his .S25, 900
cash, that he had amassed would make him
as wealthy in Rome as Griffin Taylor and
others Of great wealth, &c. were consider
ed here. At the time he left our city, quite
a large meeting Of respectable persons con-
gregated at his house, and the proceedings
of the meeting were published in the city
papers Of l53S. A grand supper was pre-.
pared and partaken of, toasls, drank, &c.,
&c, A friend of ours, from whom we obtain
this information, remembers remark OF
Garabaldt at the time. lie said. "Before
long there will be a revolution in Europe,
and wish TO have hand in it," BY the
late foreign news it will have been observed
that mis- name figured largely in the ao-
counts from Rome 1t will be seen by ves-
terday's leeg report, that, although
the French had entered the Eternal City ;"
Garibaldi had escaped with ten thousand
men. +Hr
From many citizens we have the history
of this celebrated revolutionist, while in our
city. He seemed always to have a great
hatred to monarchy. He will perhaps, in
his new position as leader, make some trou-
Bile and cause some blood to flow; but the
powerful armies Of France, Austria, Spain
and Naples, must crush him. and he will
die the death of what those powers consid-
er traitor deserves. He may be too smart,
as we say in common parlance, to be caught.
If he escapes, he will have no other refuge
than the United State, IN which he most
probably learned his revolutionary princl-
pies, and perfected his ideas of selfgovern-
ment.--Ch. Cam. t'snT ta6ft a
