The Disastrous Intelligence from Europe
The Reported Fail OF Hungary.
The tenor of the news received from Europe,
through Austrian and Russian sources, by the
steamship Niagara, is already Known to our
read6s. That intelligence, we are confident, pro-
dsced greater sensation, more melancholy inn
preston on the public mind of this great commu-
nifty, than we ever witnessed. No sooner was it
published to the world, than our citizens, of all
parties, classes and countries, felt If sudden and
direful calamity, an irretrievable misfortune, had
beialen them-individualy and collectively. They
were surprised asionished, pasied, thunde rstruck
Never, In all our experience, have seen such
sensation the reports Of the defeat OF the
Hungarians produced on the people OF this great
city.
II was only the other day that we were eectri-
fed with the continued successes which they had
achieved, despite of the armed hosts that were op-
posed to them; was but very short time since we
were informed that the enemy was ia full retreat
before them, and that they threatened even the very
capital of Austria; it was but few days since that
our citizens unanimously formed the opinion that
In few weeks we would hear the glorious tidings
that Hungary was nation-that her gallant, death
daring and liberty-loving sons would, IN short
time, under the leadership OF the intrepid Kossuth,
overcome all her enemies, and take her station
among the great family Of nations but these fiat
ing expectations, those JOY full icipatons accord
ing to the latest intelligence were doomed to be DIS
appointed. In melancholy hour, Fortune, which
smiled ofavoraby on the cause Of Hungary, from the
commencement Of her unequal struggle with her
Austrian enemies and her continuance OF il with both
Austria and Russia, forsook her banners might
prevailed against right, and, if the news is reliable,
Hungary-poor, bleeding, oppressed, but gallant,
noble, daring, and chivaIrous Hungary--lies pros
tate before the per6dious tyrant of Austria and
the imperious and savage despot of Russia! What
fate for such noble country.-what Calamity.
what deplorsble contamination what a sad
issue to such glorious struggle by glorious ma
iion But is the news Of her fall true and re-
liable
Our foreign files and correspondence have not
outstanding all, tina, the cause Of Hungary is not
yet desperate. 1t may be that further intelligence
will only corroborate the disastrous tenor Of the
news, but 1t may turn out that Hungary has yet
chance. God grant that such may be the case The
spirit OF liberty, for centuries trodden upon through
out Europe, was revived by Plus the Ninth, and
burst forth in all the vigor of maturity IN France
Rome, the Italian States, Ireland, and throughout
the whole Of Germany. After various efforts, il
was conquered in all but Hungary; and the
soil Of that country, and in spite Of an overwhelm-
ing opposition, it maintained its ground to the |
last. Even there IL is said to have been overcome
Notwithstanding all this, however, the continent |
Of Europe is not paciied. II is idle to suppose
that Europe will ever be in a state of repose
until all the national debts Of the several ma.
tions the continent shall have been repudiated;
until every form Of government there, inconsistent |
or at variance with repubhcanlsm, shall have been
overwhelmed, and scattered to the four winds Of /
heaven. The day Of retnbution-the great hour
Of koning, is only delsyed it cannot be avoid
ed. When that day comes, let tyrants and des- 1
pots Of every hind and every sex be prepared /
30 receive the fate which down-trodden, perse
euIed, and insulted humanity has even now de-
creed as their share. And day OF terrible retri-
button il will be. Blood, in torrents, will food the
whole surface Of that continent and kings, princes,
desPos, and yrants Of every kind, will be hurled
cut OF existence "unannesled, unannointed to an
swer before the eternal tribunal Of justice for their
vllsny on earth. II France had been true TO herself
and to her mission, that day might never come But

should have any successor similar to him, will be
overwhelmed in the general tornado that will
surely sweep over Europe before many years
We DO not know whether TO place reliance on
the rumor that Georgey acted the traitor, or not
Before we conclude that he has performed such /
dastardy part, certainly shall require stronger
evidence than what we are now ia possession of. I
For the sake Of liberty and humanity, we hope the
rumor To that effect is without foundation If the
complete overthrow Of the Huogarians be confirm
cd, there will, no doubt, be season Of calm |
throughout Europe for few years. Bat will not
be lssting-it will be like the calm that precedes |
the tempest-the prelude to the bloodiest add most
fearful drama that the world has ever .een-one
whose rsvsges will not be confined to one nation,
but that will overthrow every nation that quar-
ter Of the world.
To throw all the light we can upon the character
Of Georeey, and upon that Of Schwarzenburg, the
Prime Minister Of Austria, through whom the
official reports Of the Austrian and Russian VIC
fones, and the surrender Of Georgey TO P4skie-
witch, found their way TO the public; we give a
sketch Of the two men in another column Of this I
days paper. We ask the reader, does not the 4
Of Swarehburg cast doubt over the
