Our European papers which, wi reach os TINS

are questions that we want 10 be able 10 answer
and we only fear that the news, when We get It
But though Pesth be taken and Gorgy exposed,
all is not over by any means The H1nganan'
yielded that city before without striking blow,

nsversed but perfectly occupied by the Austrans
and Russians nor even then unless Transy ivania
be equally subdued. And as for Gorgey, II he can
not retain his present position he can no doubt
easily retreat into the mountainous regions at the
North among the friendly Slovacks

Hangarians are contending not merely for Liberty

OF all classes but the desperate consciousness that
there is no choice between success or slavery
Such a people in such a state is the hardest PossI

be long and bloody one. bat we do not believe
Hungary will be subjugated. At any rate we
know that the Hnngarisns cannot.
