from Vienna by the America, extend to the 9th
ult. At that date the fortress of Comorn, CON-
manded by General Klapka. had not capitula-
ted and il is asserted that that General had
stocked the fortress with full supplies to last
out the winter. The fortress of Comorn was
garrisoned with some 10000 or Is, 900 troops,
who were resolutely determined to resist as
long as possible; and it is said that while on
| the one hand portions of the garrison leave
the fortress to lay down their arms, on the
other fresh bands of Honveds flock in TO sup
ply their place. Preparations were being
made to besiege the fortress with &C, 900 men,
under the command of Nugent and Grabb.-
Gen Klapka was sick, or, it was supposed,
slammed sickness. His conduct was viewed
with some degree of suspicion; and it was
rumored that he had declined to CO operate in
defending the place.
The Augur6 Gazette, of the 18th uIt. says,
that on the night of the Sd, body Of 10000
Magyars from Comorn succeeded in re.taking
the forts near Acs and Zgany.
Prague, on the 9th uk., that Kossuth, Dem
himsky and Messoras had succeeded in effec.
ting their escape 10 Widen, where they were
under the guardianship OF the Pasha. They
had declared their intention OF emigrating to
England, and for the successful furtherance
of this design, had placed themselves under
British protection, in consequence Of which.
the Intervention of the British Consul in their
behalf had already taken place.
The sister of Kossuth and her husband, Nj.
Kutkay, had been arrested and taken to Pres
burg, where they were examined, and some
very important documents found in their pos
session relative TO the Hungarian instruction.
Prince Paskiewitch had left the command of
the Russian army in Hungary to Gen. Rudiger,
and returned to Warsaw, where he was re.
ceived at the grand parade, before the Lazien-
ski Palace, by the Emperor, with all the mil
itary pomp and splendor which is so peculiar
ly characteristic OF his Imperial Highness on
such occasions.
The Austrian Government has determined
to grant an amnesty to all the imperial officers
of the Majjar race, who joined the rebellion,
and 10 proceed leniently with the others; but
has determined TO put in exercise the full Sc.
verify of the law against the members of the
Committee for the defence of the country
Rosinski, commander of a Maiar corps of
$4,000 men with Sc cannon, has surrendered
10 the Russians by which event, the last
remnant of the Hungarian force in the open
country has been disarmed.
A circular. dated from Warsaw on the 31st
August, has been addressed by the Count de
Nesselrode TO the representatives of Russia in
foreign countries. This circular announces,
with great deal OF bombast, the total subju-
CATION with the exception of the Majjar for
tress of Comorn) of the whole of Hungary,
and asscribes their success to the blessing of
| Providence. And now, that the last spark of
Hungarian liberty has been extnguished
through the banded efforts of Austrian and
Russian despotism, all lovers of Liberty must
deeply deplore the hasty measures which
brought about the instruction at what is now
proved, an unreasonable moment. The
Magyars have proved themselves worthy a
better fate than that which they have met
with; and, if they had awaited a more favor
able opportunity to strike the blow for Liber-
ty and independence, they doubtless would
have succeeded. AS it was, Austria and Rus
STA both, (being unengaged,) were enabled to
WELD their whole strength against the Hunga-
rian forces. We deeply deplore the issue of
the contest, for the reason that the Revolution
has not only failed TO accomplish the disires
of those who offered themselves as willing
sacrifices to accomplish the independence OF
Hungary, but because the issue will result in
the total humiliation of what liberty she had
before enjoyed under her constitution. Here
after, TO Hungary, the idea of Liberty and indie.
| pendence must be the mere baseless vision of a
, dream for nothing now, save special interpo-
sition of Providence in her behalf, can tend
in the slightest degree, to meliorate the degra.
ding condition of slavery, which must be en-.
dured by her citizens under the yoke of Aus
r TRAN despotism.
