Pennsylvania. But the Honved officers were in
prime condition, IN want of nothing, for they
were not only well clad and in fesh but each had
his wagon with bed mattrass, we'll char ged trunks
servant, and mistress with him. When the sur
render took place, the officers baggage wagons
were drawn up in two immeasurable lines, 80 that
broad street was formed. In each wagon was a
well-dresscd woman When the ceremony Of the
surrender was over, market was held, and the
ladies in question sold the superfuous contents of
their trunks at ridculously low prices to the

The Banat Council has at length ordered the con
stitution to be solemnly published in Croatia.
The aristocratic party in Hungary would do well
to take into consideration the following remarkable
passage in the Bans last note to the Banat Council
" You speak OF your ancient constitution. Have
you forgotten the revolution which has rendered the
teudal state of things untenable TO all eternity?
The foundation of the ancient constitutions which
constructed for a few thousand mobiles, was
blown away like chaff before the wind by the breath
of liberty

VIENNA, Sept 9.-About Comorn and Peterwar-
dein we have nothing positive, but am informed
that complete amnesty for the Imperial officers
now serving against the Emperor is demanded as

Gorgey arrived here at 10 a. m. yesterday with
his wife and physician, having been ten days ON
the road from Grosswardein, by way of Cracow TO
Vienna He was accompanied by Major Andrassy,
who left city with him at 4p. for Klagenfurth,
which is to be his future residence The events of the
last year have not failed to produce the effect upon
Gorgey which might be expected, for he looks five
or six years older than he really is. AS people gen
orally form most erroneous opinions as to the per-
sonalappearance ofremarkable public characters it
may not be amiss to state that the young Gorgcy
of the press is on the wrong side of forty, wears
spectacles and has countenance somewhat
markable for its determined and, in my opinion,
honest expression, Like Byron's Corsar--
s'No giant frame sets forth his common height;
Yet, in the whole, who paused to look again
Saw more than marks thecrowd of vulgar men,"
The southern army may be considered as dis
solved. Twenty three Croatan battalions al
ready ordered home from the Bacska and Banat
General Denkstein will command in Pcterwardein
(when it surrenders) loc,m tenens of the Ban,
who is on his way to Vienna, with General Knic-
anin. The fortress of Peterwarden is still closely
invested.
The 25th Russian bulletin, which mentioned
yesterday, contains nothing new but the statement
that after the IL 900 men, with Sc cannons had sur
rendered at Szbe, on the 25th ult, as advised you
some days since, Wallachian battalion, com
manded by Polish officers, broke the capitulation
and moved off towards Macy Bany, pursued by
Colonel Urban.
The BorserhalIe's correspondent at Constan-
tinople writes, under date Of both August--''On
Nv h.Ia uaSf Arux fba "A
by express that Kossuth had passed over the Turk
ish frontiers and surrendered to Fuad Effend, the
Turkish Commissary in the Danubian principal
tiles. The Hungarian Generals Dembinsk, Mes
saros, Desseffski, and Guyon, were brought to
Widdin.'
CoNsTANTINoPLE, August 30.-The news from
Hungary has caused great excitement amongst the
Turks: Their regret at the unfortunate ternina
ton OF the war Is very great. The Hungarian En-
voy, Count Andrassy, hopes that he may be able to
induce the Porte to exert themselves in favor of
kossuth and his friends, who have taken refuge in
Turkey. The Count, ! believe, will be seconded in
his efforts by Sir Stratford Canning and General
Aupick On the other hand, the Russian and Aus
trian representatives employing all their inlu-
ence TO persuade the Sutan's ministers to refuse an
asylum TO the Hungarian leaders who are in Tur-
key, and hand them to the tender mercies of
Luders or Paskiewitsch. The fate of poor Keiss
which is well known at the Porte ought alone 10 be
sufficient to prevent the Turks from refusing hospi
tahty TO the Hungarian generals. Kess, when
taken, was dressed a common feon, was loaded
with chains, and, when broken down by every in
dignity and petty cruelty ordered to be hanged
from tree on the roadside Driven to despair by
such an accumulation of shame and suffering, poor
kess prayed his prosecutors not TO put him TO dea
if he felon, but to let his grave be that of
a soldier. This prayer refused, but so great
was Keiss's horror of the death of shame to which
he was condemned, that he poisoned himself, and
thus escaped from the hands of his captors. One
thing is certain, that Russian influence Is now com
pletey re-established at Constantinople and it is
more extensive and more felt than ever. II would
excite but very little surprise here il the Russian
and Austrian representatives despite the efforts of
Sir Stratford Canning and the French minister
were to force the Turkish government to give up
kessuth and his companions.
The augsburg Gazette, of the 9th avs that a
body OF 10000 Magyars from Comorn, on the night
of the Sd, retook the forts near Acs and Zgany
General Csorich had received orders To completely
invest Comorn, but as so 900 men would be neces-
sary for that purpose, the aid Of Russian troops
would be requested
News, by way of Raab, had reached Vienna ON
the 9th inst that the previous day the army for
form the line of blockade but that il halted ON the
request Of the beseged for prolongation of the
armistice for forty eight hours At the termina-
ton of that period all further conference would be
denied, and the. siege resolutely pushed forward

NAPLES, Sept. Al wrote at some length yester-
day by the direct steamer, but cannot allow the
regular mail Of this day TO start without informing
you that, as understand, NJ. de Rayneval has sue
ceeded in extracting from the Pope's Council at
Gaeta some concessions in favor Of the Roman pco-
pie. How far those concessions will remove the
impression made by the first unwise acts of the
Apostolic Triumvirate, Is matter on which I en-
terrain very fervcnt hope but still every conces-
sion must be considered as a victory gained over
prejudice and obstinacy, and we trust that those
now given are the precursors Of good institutions
believe the Pope has granted the creation Of
municipalities on a large basis--of a consultative
council elected by the municipalities provincial
councils and. board Of finance; and that nc has
further promised administrative amelorations in
all the branches, particularly in that of justice
The French government, am told, we're DESTROYS
that the Code Napoleon should be adopted in all the
Roman States, and believe the President made il
of his absolute conditions in late communica-
ton; but ] understand great a change has not
been acceded TO, and the reforms have in general
been confined % the points above detailed. NV
opinion at present is that the mischief has been
done, and that unless the Supreme Pontf make
some public and specific declaration against clcri-
cal government in temporal affairs the panic occa
stoned by the first measures OF the Apostolic Tri-
umvirate cannot be removed. II is not the slow
progress of winding up the constitutional clock
