IHE ATROCITIES OF THE AusTrlAHs.-THc
days Of Herod rericcd.-Wc heard with horror
OF the numerous crucltes and atrocities of which
the triumphant hustrians were guilty over the
conquered foe. We read in the Bible of the cru
city of Hcrod, and read it, are tempted to
believe such atrocty impossible. Little did We
think that, in the nineteenth century in the
heart of civilized Europe-in what is called a
christian country, and by those who call them
selves civilized and Christian pcople-worse
and more wanton crueltics and atrocities have
been perpctrated. We were told OF $50 intants
IN one Hungarian city, on the borders of Walla-
CHA, who were taken and butchcrcd by the Au-
strlan soldiers They took them from their mo-
theirs arms, and put them to death in the most
wanton manner, holding the little innoccnts by
she feet and dashing their brains out against the
walls ofther parents houses, and, in some cases,
throwing them into holes in heaps alive, and
ourylng them alive. The Russians, it is said,
were not half so brutal snd cruel rs the Aus
TRANS.

Observation-Disclosures existing phase
OF the French Republic, as it is termed, is thus
described in recent letter from Paris, by Mr.
BRYANT, one Of the editors of the New York
Post:
cat present there is very little political liberty
in France, except the liberty of suffrage. The
police seize the printed sheets of any Jour-
nal containing expressions which the government
happened to dislike, and prevent its circulation
The law Furnishes with severe penalties the va
que offence of printing and publishing anything
which is calculated to bring hatred and con-
tempt on the government, and therefore trial
OF jury is allowed such cases; all that the jury
has to do, is to say whether the obnoxious article
was published or not; the judges who are the
creatures of the government, decide whether the
law is violated or not there is no chance, there
tore, Of escape, when the government has mar
ked out its victim. People are arrested and de-
tained, by order fthe government, and there is
no process like that of our hebeas corpus, to de-
liver them, if confined frivolous INSULT
cicnt pvctext. There is no liberty ofassembling
to express public opinions on political questions,
in addresses and resolutions, or we should have
the entire people moving on the Roman question.
In short here is q government, with popular
forms, CONQUERED in the worst spirit Of olgarchy,
and allowing ample scope for the exercise of the
most caprcious tyranny.
