WHY HUNGARY FELL.
The general belief throughout the continent
is, that the Hungarian general surrendered with
his army to Paskiewitch on pledge being given
nv the Russian commander that his master, the
Gar, would guarantee the independence OF
Hungary. Should this be the explanation oil the
enigma-and it is q very natural che, for the
Hungarians n disgust Of Austria, have latterly
been not unwilling TO fling themselves into the
arms of Russia-then will this power have
achieved very great stride towards that uni
yersal empire, welded either d faeto or by in.
Auence, which Napoleon foretold to Europe -
Such conclusion Of the war places Hungary
in the Same position with the other Danuban
principalities, which remain each OF Them un.
der the nominal sovereignty of one power but
under the real sovereignty Of another. Walla-
CHA and Moldavia belong to the Porte, vel we
have seen in this campaign Russia treating
them altogether as her own provinces, occupy
ing them and making use oil their Hea ana

liberalism, they will get this support.

LIFE AT TIE MINES.
Several letters from California represent The
