inhabited by a tribe Of warlike savages,
jealous Of Magyar superiority and sent
thither to get up civil war. The appoint
ment was utterly an usurpation, not being
countcrsigned by any Hungarian Minister
nor in any manner consented to by Hun
gary. 1t was as if President Of the
United States, without even submitting his
name to the Senate, should appoint Cover
nor for East Tennessee, and direct him 70
disregard and defy the constituted authorl-
ties Of the State. Jellachich soon raised an
army Of Croats, eager for plumber ana
domination, and fell upon the surprised
defenceless provinces Of Magyar Hungary
The Government Of course outlawed him;
even the Austrian Court affected to set
price on his head He laughed at this and
persisted in his invasion, acting IN the
name Of the Emperor-King, and 1t IS now
known with good authority. His rufhan
hordes held on their way plundering, burn
ing, numbering, unopposed. The Hungari-
an Ministry exhausted its power and Its
patience in incessant, vehement attempts to
induce the Imperial Court to act efficiently
for the overthrow Of the audacious rebel.
The Court, temporized, equivocated, he'd,
and affected to illuminate proclamations
against Jellachich, but did nothing. Or
rather, it only attempted to raise similar
War of Races in the North, by exciting
the Slovacks also to instruction; but to no
purpose. All the outlaws that could be got
together in arms were speedily routed
bv three hundred of the Presburg Ma
tional Guard. But Jellachich continued
10 advance from the south into the heart OF
Hungary, in spite of the Palatine's speech
in the Emperof-King's name to the Diet,
reprobating the conduct of the rebels in
Croatia and Slavonia, recommending lmme-
date and efficient measures of repression,
and declaring that the King regarded with
indignation the dudaci0us conduct of those
who insinuated that Jellachich & Co. were
encouraged in their outrages by his Ma
iesty Still, the Croats advanced, plumber
ing, ravaging, numbering; and still the Aus
trian Generals did nothing to oppose him.
AT length the Diet could hesitate no longer,
and on the llth Of July (six days after the
above lying speech) ordered levy of men
to repeI the outlawed rebel marauder. One
month later, the Austrians threw off the
mask; their troops began to march toward
Zagrab, not to resist Jellachich but to rein
force him; the Austrian Ministry openly
spoke of him as faithful servant of the
crown; on the 4th of September, the En-
peror addressed him letter Of laudation for
his fidelity and attachment!
As last resort, a grand Deputation of
one hundred and sixty Hungarians, headed
by Pazmandy, President of the Diet, repaired
to Vienna, to know what all this could
mean. and see if war could not somehow be
averted. Their appeals were treated with
silent disdain and open contumely. To
their urgent representations of the treason
Of Jellachich, the Emperor-King pulled from
his pecket and read cold and evasive re-
ply The deputatiOn could only return to
Pesth and announce to the People that there
was no hope but in God and themselves
That same day Jellachich passed the Brave
and pressed forward into the heart Of Hun
gary as an avowed enemy of her authori-
ties and her liberties, but devoted subject
and functionary of the Emperor-king. AT
ter having nearly trayersed Hungary, he
was met and routed near the Lake Balaton,
and forced to fly. To the IIungarians no
alternative was now presented but Slavery
or Independence. They nobly chose the
latter; God has inscrutably overruled that
choice for the moment, but only as trial of
their endurance and the faith of the Free.
The men now live who shall see Hungary
an Independent Republic, and their Austri-
an tyrants fleeing to the darkest corners of
the earth for a refuge from the indignation
and scorn of mankind.
