THE PROSPECTS OF HUNGARY.

We have private letters from Warsaw
to the middle Of the past month, which
give a more distinct idea of the character
of the war now waged by the Austrian
and Russian Emperors on Hungary than
any account which has yet reached us.
Vast supplies were daily being sent from
Warsaw to the army, and it was evident
no steps would be neglected to reduce the
Hungarians to submission. All admit the
horror of the war, the atrocious manner in
which it is conducted, and the great doubt
of it's success. The Russians see with
dismay that they have to anticipate no
thing but the possession of Wilderness
the Hungarians destroying every district
as they leave it, and poisoning every foun-
tain. The sympathies of all the neighbor-
ing nations are with the heroic soldiers of
KossUTH; and the Emperor of Russia
evidently did not anticipate such war as
he meets with. There are sixty thousand
Hungarians in Comorn-a strong bomb
proof fortress, on which, though it is close
ly invested, the allies have been able to
make no impression. The garrison is six
times larger than is necessary; and if Benz
and DEMBINsKI are able to raise the siege,
the allies will receive blow from which
they cannot recover; and the Hungarian
army in the field, thus strengthened, could
not but triumph.
All accounts say that the only sal
walton of the invaders consists in forcing
the Hungarians to an action, which they
skilfully avoid, aware that no large army
can subsist in such country as Hungary,
where water is scarce at all times, and
conscious of their power to annihilate
smaller bodies. There is, besides, no
comparison between the intelligent free
Hungarian and the Russian soldier, who
scourge is also said to have seized on the
Russian soldiers, known as the s1ice pest. I"
The individual is attacked by vermin un-
der the skin, which increase until the
whole body becomes one mass of corrup-
ton. Hitherto no remedy has been dis
covered, and the person attacked is con-
sidered as doomed; and the letters say
"hundreds have, at their own solicitations,
been thrown into the river to terminate
their suferings. The cholera also makes
terrible havoc on the ill-fed allied army"
If Hungary succeeds in this contest, all
Poland will be in arms, and the Gar will
be occupied, certainly, for years to come
with his own affairs.

PROCLAMATION.
There is reason to believe that an armed
expedition is about to be fitted out in the
United States with an intention to invade the
island of Cuba or some of the provinces of
Mexico. The best information which the
Executive has been able to obtain points
to the Island of Cuba as the object of this
expedition. 1t is the duty Of this Govern
ment to observe the faith of treaties, and
to prevent any aggression by our citizens
upon the territories of friendly nations. |
have therefore thought it necessary and
proper to issue this proclamation, to warn
all citizens of the United States, who shall
connect themselves with an enterprise SO
grossly in violation of our laws and our
treaty obligations, that they will thereby
subject themselves TO the heavy penalties
denounced against them by our acts OF
Congress, and will forfeit their claim to
the protection of their country. No such
persons must expect the interference OF
this Government, in any form, on their
behalf, no matter to what extremities they
may be reduced in consequence of their
conduct. An enterprise to invade the ter
ritories of friendly nation, set on foot and
prosecuted within the limits of the United
States, is in the highest degree criminal
as tending to endanger the peace, anC
compromit the honor, of this nation; and
therefore, exhort all good citizens, as they
regard our national reputation, as they re
spect their own laws and the laws of ma
tons, as they value the blessings of peace
and the welfare of their country, to dis
countenance and prevent, by all Lawful
means, any such enterprise; and | ca!
upon every officer of this Government
civil or military, to use all efforts in hi:
power to arrest for trial and punishment
every such offender against the laws pro
viding for the performance of our sacred
obligations to friendly Powers.
Given under my hand, the eleventh day
of August, in the year of our Lore
one thousand eight hundred and forty
nine, and the seventy-fourth OF the
independence of the United States.

The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-08-14
By the President:
j. NJ. CLAYTON, Secretary Of State

The above proclamation was received
yesterday at the Department of State, in
a communication from the President at
Harrisburg.
Information has been for some time in
possession of the Government, to the effect
that bodies of men were in the course of
being levied and drilled in New Orleans,
New York, and other cities of the Union;
that money to considerable amount has
been contributed; that arms have been
provided, and arrangements made on a
large scale, with a view to some military
expedition. These movements have been
conducted with great secresy, and the OBJ
lect of the enterprise has been concealed
even from the individuals who have en-
barked in it. Sufficient evidence, how
ever, has been obtained to satisfy the Pre-
sIDENT that the design Of the expedition
is an invasion of CUBA, and that the inter
vention of the Executive was necessary
to preserve our neutral obligations, and tc
keep unsullied the honor of the American
people.
In issuing this Proclamation, President
TAYLOR gives another proof of his deter.
mination to enforce the observance Of oul
neutral duties, and to preserve by all con
stitutional means the tranquility Of the
country. He harbors no lust for war OF
conquest, or military excitements. The
scenes through which he has passed, anc
in which he has acquired deathless renown
are full of too many sad and bitter recol
lections to generate any other sentiment
than desire for universal peace. Promp
as he will always be to resist any invasion
of our own rights, he will be equally
prompt to resist any aggression by oui
citizens on the rights Of other nations. He
will be sustained, we doubt not, by tn,
sympathies and cordial cooperation Of al
good citizens.

Engineers on this side of the Atlantic
had supposed that the bad success of the
Great Britain would have convinced their
English brethren that the application OF
cog-wheels to screw steamers for giving
higher speed to the propeller than the speed
OF the motive engine was impracticable. 1t
appears, however, that the system of "gear-
ing" has not been discarded in England; the
great engineering house of Seward g. Co.,
of London, having just fitted the Terma-
giant with immense engines, transmitting
their power to the propeller by this very
Objectionable expedient
II is remarkable circumstance that the
screw vessels built in this country for
freighting purposes succeeded from the
start, and that we had some fifty such
vessels in operation before screw propul-
sion had taken a practical standing in
England. This circumstance may be traced
solely to the direct application of the en-
glne to the propeller, resorted to by the
distinguished engineer who has so sue
cessfully introduced screw propulsion in
America. Ii is well known that at first
this direct application of the engine to the
propeller met with vehement opposition
from leading engineers, who ridiculed the
idea of driving engines Of large power at
the rate of forty turns per minute. The
success of the direct-acting engine of the
Princeton and other vessels seems not TO
have completely removed the original pre-
JUDGE with the venerable firm of Seward
Co., who consequently have the mortifca-
ton OF finding at this late day, that with the
enormous power of six hundred and twenty
horse, English measure, they can only
give speed of nine knots per hour to
vessel of fifteen hundred tons, when in
light trim. But this is not the worst fea-
ture in the concern. That "terrible noise
kept up by the engines" which the firth
san mentions, indicates very plainly that
durability cannot be looked for, even should
the noise by habit become tolerable to those
whose fate il will be to manage the Ter.
mdganf. The name, we may say in pass
ing, is quite apropos, and apparently sug-
gested by some one in prophetic vein, if
we give full credit to the .Artisan's state
ment about the terrible noise.n

MIR Collens here continued the debate, showing
the height and character of the official seal of the
consul, and dwelt at length upon the legitimacy OF
the document evidence.
Mr. War6ed replied and characterized the argu-
menls of the learned opposite consul as pettifog-
gng and miserable quibblng, to which the counsel
for the defence disdained to reply.
u S. Commissionsr.-As il is now near three
O'Clock, after consulting with the Justice, we have
concluded to take the point under our consdera-
zion, and render decision at the next session OF
the court.
Mr. Fouhonze begged to address a few words TO
the court in relation 10 the Spanish consul. He has
appeared before This court ready and wiling 10 an
swer all charges, and he has made no objection
whatever, from the beginning, to the course pur-
sued 10y The prosecution, nor has he claimed any of
his privileges II the decision of this court, so far
as objections and matters of law are concerned,
prove him from having all his documentary test-
mony laid before this court, Mr.. Foulhouze should
have recourse to the press satisfy the public that
he is, and ever has been, willing that the most
searching Investigation should I've made in the case
The court then adjourned until tomorrow (Sat-
urday) afternoon at o'clock.
