The Hungarian Exilcs.

the hungarian Exflcs.
We had the pleasure of passing good part of
last evening with the Hungarian officers from Co
morn, who arrived in the Hermann yesterday.
They not at all disheartened by the calamities
which have befalen their country, but encounter
unfriendly fortune with the same courage and
steadiness they have been wont to sustain the
onset of Haynaus squadrons. The names of those
who arrived yesterday are as follows:
Ladislaus Ujhazy, pronounced Wee -hah-zy,)
Civil Governor of Comorn.
Theresa Ujhazy, his wife.
Clara and Itka Ujhazy, his daughters
Wolfgang and Theodor Ujhazy, his sons; the first
captain of infantry, and the second captain of ia
gers
Apollonia Jagello, pronounced Yah gello.)
Wilhelm Veis, captain of the Pioneers.
Emerich Radewich, Captain of the Pioneers.
Heinrich Deahne, Colonel of the Infantry.
Mr. Ujhazy, his family, and the officers accom-
panying him, including Colonel Pragay and Major
Fornet, the guests of the Aston House Made
mosee Jagello is at the Irving House Mr.. Ujha-
zy will leave in a day or two for Washington.
Though advanced in years, he retains all the fresh
other exiles will arrive here in the spring, when it
is proposed to form a Hungarian colony at some
suitable point in the west. The illustrious Klapka
will probably join Mr. Ujhazy in its direction.
Mile. Jagello was received at the Irving House
by its popular proprietor. At o'clock she APP
peared in the dining saloon, which, on this occa-
sion, was crowded by ladies and gentlemen. The
greatest anxiety and desire were felt and exhibited
ence and attention. On her right and left sat the
Hon. Mr.. Donelson, lady and daughters, together
with the physician of the Hermann, who acted as
interpreter.
When the cloth was removed, and the confection-
cry was placed on the table, most affecting Incl
dent occurred. A quadrangular tower surmount-
ed by spire, composed of CONNECTION materials,
was placed before her. At the base of the tower,
cannon, musxets, balls swords, and other military
weapons, were intermingled, in front of which was
inscribed the following motto:
''Es lebe die ungarnischen
Helden
Heldinnen.n
AT the top waved the Hungarian tri-coor Of
green, red, and white. On three sides of the tower,
emblazoned in gold, the lion of England, over
whose head rested the crown; the insignia Of France
on the sides with military devices; and the stars
and stripes of America waving over all, which en-
blematized the sympathy and protection in the
time Of danger and difficulty of the three great
powers offered TO the Hungarian refugees. On the
fourth side stood figure Of the heroine herself
She represented standing on the coors Of
Austria and trampling them under foot. In her
right hand she carried staff, on which placed
the cap of liberty. In her left sword. Around
her shoulders and person thrown red sash,
indicative of her rank lieutenant in Hungarian
regiment of cavalry. In the back ground, enold-
ing the figure, were the stars and stripes, the Hun
garian tri-color, and ensigns Of France and Eng
land. When Mile. Jagellos eyes rested on this, so
I
an Irresistible impulse of emotion. Her person be-
came half raised from the chair, and flood of tears
burst from her eyes.
When her emotion had somewhat abated she
called for Mr.. Howard, (who was close by,) and
taking him by both hands, she said, in her native
language, al thousand, thousand thanks for my
country and unutterable gratitude for myself, TO
you, Mr. Howard, for this unexpected token Of
sympathy for the struggles Of my liberty loving,
but down-trodden people" While she spoke, a
simultaneous rising of the company--ladics and
gentlemen-took place, and the most intense inter
est and excitement were visible in every counte-
nance. The scene was, at this moment, one of a
peculiarly strange kind. Memories Of carnage and
bloodshed, of deeds of herosm and glory, of fright
ful butchery and unrelenting tyranny, came over
the mind, quckcning and heating the blood. Mr..
Howard replied that he than proud Of the
honor of having his guest the greatest and most
glorious woman Of modern times. After this, the
ornament was passed round the tables Of both or.
dinaries.
Then gentlemen rose in groups and desired most
respectfully the honor Of wine, 20 which she grace
fully and cordially assented. She made her re-
spouse TO the challenges standing. At this particu-
! lar point her figure, which is Of the medium size
appeared to much advantage. Her head and neck
are finely formed her countenance having re-
markaby sweet expression. Her person is full, but
/ Of delicate and graceful symmetry. Her hair Is of
light brown the masses of which pa rted in plain
and simple folds upon her forehead. Her eyes,
naturally mild, are sometimes lit up with most
brilliant and piercing expression. In her dcmeanor
she is exceedingly amiabe, kindly, retiring, and
modest. She wore dress of hght-bue silk, with
tri-color scarf gracefully thrown across her shout
! ders. Her ornaments but few, but of the
rarest kind and workmanship.
| After dinner she went into the public room, ac-
companied by Miss Doneson and family, when the
other ladies surrounded her in groups, and babe
! her welcome TO this land of liberty.
Through the kindness of Mr. Howard were
enabled TO sec the Polka coat worn by this brave
creature, when, for the benefit of her country, she
exposed her life, and went a scout into the Aus
! trian camp. II Is of white cashmere, thick, and
strong of texture. lined with red cloth and braided
/ with cording of the same color. The sabrctache,
or leather pocket, slung over the shoulder by lea
thcr belt, was likewise shown us.
During the evening the drawing rooms of the
Irving House crowded. The tower which had
been displayed at dinner was placed on the centre
