The Irish Patriots The last Scene.

1t is always sad duty, says the N. Y.
Sun, to us to chronicle unsuccessful patri-
otism bound in the chains of tyrany.-
While the following scene of the bravest of
patriots bidding farewell from a convict
hulk to the land they loved "not too wise
ly but too WE'LL" and the friends who will
hold their memory and patriotism in last
ing reverence, creates feeling of sadness,
there is in it also much to excite our hope
that brighter day will yet dawn upon the
liberties Of Ireland. We give the incidents
of that scene in full from the Dublin Free
mans Journal
"At that painful moment, when they
were about to be separated for ever, per-
haps, from their friends and the land they
loved so well, they displayed the utmost
degree Of calmness and fortitude. Their
demeanor showed that they were, as from
the beginning, prepared for "either for
tune," and that either on the scaffold or
consigned to the convict ship, they were
men who would neither blench nor tremble
at theirfate. Their language and bearing
demonstrated that they could very easily
and calmly suffer the 'law's vengence'
visited upon themselves, and that their
feelings and aspirations were far higher
and more noble than any into which par
ticle of self could enter. Their thoughts
were still about the country and the good
old cause not what their own destiny or
sufferings might be. my last words, on

leaving the country (said the brilliant and
devoted young patriot Thomas F. Meagh-
cry shall be, don't give up the good old
cause Such were the feelings Of those
noble hearted and undaunted men, even
at that moment when others in their pain.
full position might rather be overborne by
dispair and sorrow than entertain glim-
mering hope for the prosperity of their ma
tive land-that land, for their love ofwhich
they were condemned to the penalty OF
exile.
At about half past eleven o'clock, a
squadron ofthe carbineers, under the COM
mand of Capt Custance and Lieutenants
Sherston and Philamore, arrived at the
prison, and shortly afterwards a gentle
man from the Castle, bearing the order for
the deportation of the four state prisoners.
The van was then driven up to the door,
and the governor called out the names of
William Smith O'Bren, Thomas Francis
Meagher, Terence Bellew McManus and
Patrick O'Donohue from the order, and
requested them to take their places in the
vehicle. Mr.. O'Brien had previously ex-
pressed to Inspector Stokes hope that
no detective would be placed in the van
with himself and his fellow prisoners, to
which the Inspector replied there should
not. The last moment previous to de-
parture having arrived the prisoners were
once more surrounded by their friends
many of them ladies-of whom they took
tender and affecting farewell. Mr.. o.
Brien's lady, sister, and the Rev. Mr..
O'Brien, his brother were with him from
an early hour in the morning.
The Rev. Mr.. Meagher, S. j., uncle to
Mr.. T. F. Nee CHER, and several female
relatives were present; as were his wife,
sister and other relatives of Mr.. O'Dono-
hue, and several ladies and others, rela-
tons of Mr.. McManus. We shall not at
tempt to describe the most painful scene
that presented itself at this moment. The
friends of the ''convicts," as the law calls
them, betrayed the most intense grief but
their own demeanor was marked by the
manliness and fortitude that distinguished
them all through, and even at time when
their enemies menaced them with the 'trai-
:or's DOOM" On taking his place in the
van, Mr.. Meagher said in firm tone, Il
eel prouder man leaving the country
even thus than many who remain in it.
And so do H. responded Mr.. O'Dono-
lue.

The Turkish ambassador at Paris is said
to have received dispatch on the 10Th,
by courier, that the Polish General Benz,
had again completely defeated the Russian
forces.
Advices from Vienna of the 18th, July,
state that Buda-Pesth surrendered to the
Austrian and Russian troops on the 18th,
without resentment.
From report of Gen. Haynan, address
ed to the Emperor of Austria, it appears
that very sharp conflict took place on
the 11th, before Comorn, between the Hun
garian forces and the combined armies.
The Magyars fought fiercely, but the Aus
trians claim the victory.
Another account of this battle states
that 1870 pieces of cannon were brought
into the field by the Hungarians, and the
loss sustained by the latter in artillery men
may be estimated among the circumstan-
ces. Nothing could be more complete
than the defeat of the united Russian and
Austrian armies under Haynan. He was
obliged to fall back on Raab, where his
headquarters are at present, which city is
filled with wounded, 5000 of whom he hcs
been obliged to send to Presburg. But
for the timely arrival of the Prussians to
cover his retreat, Haynan and his staff
would have been captured.
