1t is stated that the disturbances in the
Rensselaer, property, below ALBANY, New
York, have recommended. On the 9th
ultimo, the deputy sheriff, Mr. Hagerman,
of Rensselaer, county, proceeded to the
residence Of Mr. Shook, Of the town of
Sandlake, for the purpose Of effecting a
sale of personal property, by virtue of an
execution in favor Of w. P. Van Rensse-
laer, for unpaid rent. The sheriff, about
one o'clock, was about commencing the
sale, when there appeared some dozen
"Indians," the chief Of whom demanded
his papers, and ordered him to desist from
offering property for sale. The docu-
ments were Immediately delivered up, the
sale suspended, the sheriff entered his
wagon, and body-guard Of rioters escor-
led him on his way home,

the war as sanguinary and useless. Cor
gey addressing the council Of war, pro-
tested that he had no hopes for the cause
Of the Hungarians. All resistance was
vain-nothing but utter ruin would attend
the prolongation Of the struggle. The war
party, headed by BEN, Kossuth, and the
leading members Of the Hungarian Par
lament, had nothing left but 10 hasten to
Ossora. 1t is stated that kossuth carried
with him the insignia Of the Hungarian
Empire. Gorgey surrendered to Prince
Paskiewitch under the condition iif con-
dition it can be called) that The Prince
should intercede with the Austrian Empe-
ror for himself, his troops and his country.
A Vienna letter states that the number Of
troops that surrendered with Gorgey was
$1,000 men and 60 guns. From Wen
ia letter Of 18th, it appears that Kossuth
is determined to hold out TO the last.
The Russian papers publish the follow
ing letter from Prince Paskiewitch 10 the
Gear. "The Hunsarians are at the feet
Of your Imperial Majesty. The Govern

fallen into the hands Of the lmperialist
troops"

From the New York Evening Post, csth.

Suspicious military Enterprise.-We
suppose it must now be admitted that
there are in course of preparation, in this
city, New Orleans, Baltimore, and Phila.
delphia, secret military expeditions, of
which the objects are kept concealed
New York and New Orleans are the two
points at which these preparations are 60
ing OIL with the greatest activity, and upon
the largest scale.
In this city meetings are held every
other night at Lafayette Hall, in Broad
way, which are largely attended by young
men of that class who are usually most
ready for any adventure that promises
movement, no matter in what direction or
for what purpose. One oil the gentlemen
who is foremost in guiding the proceeding
in these meetings is very we'll known at
Washington, where his father holds a
prominent position, and the gentleman
himself has been, within year, United
States Consul in one Of the Islands of the
West Indies-a post which, it is common
ly reported, he resigned in order TO en-
gage i'll this enterprise.
AT the last meeting on Monday even
ing, he stated, as one of the leaders of The
projected expedition, that those who had
signed the engagement to take part in it,
might consider that their pay had COM
menced the week previous, and that all
things would be prepared for their depar-
ture in the course of the present week.
He said that the expedition was to be one
OF danger and hardship; that, after long
sea voyage, the adventures would have
to contend with people nearly as savage
and much more cunning and treachcrous
than Indians, &c. How many had signed
the articles Of agreement our informant did
not ascertain.
So far the affair has gone in this city.
On Round Island near New Orleans, the
papers state that there is an encampment
of three hundred men, who are engaged
in the same undertaking With those in this
city, whose proceedings are above refer
red to. There is evidence that in Balti-
more also enlistments Of men have been
made by the parties concerned in this
movement. The promise of compensation
held out to recruits is 81 per month, and
bounty, payable at the end of the year,
81 900. The offer is tempting one.
and, dazzled by the magnihcence Of the
promise and The mystery which is judi
ciously kept round the enterprise, many
will probably close with the terms with
out looking very carefully at the security.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

Halifax this morning, at 6 o'clock. The
Europa arrived at Liverpool on the goth ult.
Austria and Hungary.
The intelligence from Hungary is Of
the most disastrous kind. The Hungari-
ans have been defeated at all points. The
cause which they upheld, against fearful
odds, has fallen past redemption. The
precise detail, which led to this unfortu-
nate and unexpected result, cannot be as
certained from the accounts within our
reach part Of the main facts are, that the
Hungarians have been forced to lay down
their arms and submit Internationally.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Lon
don Times says: IAN official report from
Colonel Dosellar, of the 9Th. from Her.
manstadt, gives particulars of what took
place in Southwest Pennsylvania, since
the 4th, when Luders was at GalIulva.
After Bem's defeat Of 3lst ult., at Seid-
enberg, he proceeded towards Ledlys,
which he reached on the 3D., with force
1000 men and II guns; at this place, with
an auxiliary force Of 1000 men and 800
cavalry, with IL guns, he proceeded to-
wards Iermanstadt. Hasford, who had
been left with 6 battalions, guns and 800
Cossacks, TO protect Hermanstadt, had
gone to Reissnake and Luhenback, where
he gained the victory, mentioned yester-
day, over the insurgent General, Steinall.
This having been made known to General
Luders, he foresaw that BEN would fall on
Hasiord, probably drive him out of Wal
lachia and take possession Of Hermanstadt.
Nothing remained for him to do but to
pursue BEN with all speed; before, how
ever, Luders could overtake him he
learned that Hasford bad actually been at
tackled and driven from his position, and
after murderous battle in Hermanstadt,
in which he had many killed and wound
ed, had been obliged to retreat. On the
9th, at 10 A. NJ, Luders' army, stood be-
fore Hermanstadt, six battallions Of the
enemy, 500 horse and Is guns, occupying
the neighboring heights. A considerable
force had been left in the city, and the re-
mainder Of the army had gone in pursuit
OF Hasford. A battle ensued which ended
in the complete route Of the Magyars
The Russian cavalry put such fugitives as
attempted to resist to the sword. The enc
my lost 200 prisoners, Is guns, had
500 wounded. The Russians, including
loss suffered by Hasford on the 9Th, had
36 killed. The battles Of Seidsnberg and
Hermanstadt produced the most despon-
ding effect among the insurgents; many
threw away their arms and sought refuge
in the woods, while others came over 10
the victors.

Preservation.


The Reverend DR. Howard Malcolm, President Of
Georgetown College, Kentucky, has resigned the
place he ably and satisfactorily filed for the past
eleven years, in consequence Of the prejudice that
was awakened against him for voting for the eman-
cpaton candidate in his district the late election.
We have been acquainted with Mr. Malcolm for more
than twenty years. He stood at the head Of the
Baptist church in Boston, talent and piety. His
prudence, since his residence in Kentucky, has
been remarkable. During the recent discussions on
the subject Of slavery, he has taken no part, and
even declined subscribing for the Examiner, the
emancipation paper, for fear the College, through
him, might be chargeable in taking sides. To PROS
cribe him for simply voting-using his right of an
American citizen-is stretch Of despotism which
should not, neither WHY it be, tolerated. AS soon
he heard that the Trustees were dissatisfied with
him for having voted he did he rendered his re-
signation, which was accepted. The Louisville
Journal speaks out in manly strain on the perpe-
tration OF such an outrage upon American rights,
and says that such palpabc prescription win be as
good as five hundred votes to the emancipationists.
