The Vienna correspondence of the 9th
inst, in the Bo,tJn Atlas, says. -
Charles l.. Brace, the American aries
ted in Hungary, has been released at
/ last. His own account in part at least,
viii be already, | suppose, before the
American public. There will be | think
but one-voice ou the subject that ot
unqualified condemnatio OF the whole
proceeding, as fragrant vld1ation of The
rights Of an American citizen, and rs
matter calling for the decisive action Of
our GOV ernment If such IN attack can
be made with impunity, whore will be
the security for any American abroad,
and what will sigaify all our pride of
country, and all our boasted national
strength! Neither the governments
nor people of this old world have any
clear idoa Of national greatness, except
as is manifested in physical power; and
the sooner, therefore, our country shows
determination of using the latter when
necessary, the better it will be for hu-
manity. America is, besides the only
country that has nothing to apprehend
but every thing to hope, from war. Let
her not, then, shrink from duty for fear
of this eventuality.
1t may be regarded as a paliaing cir.
cumstance in this that Hungary is Ia
state Of siege No doubt it is, as far q
the mere arrest is concerned; but lGe
subsequent proceedings make this cir
cumstance only an aggrayation of uc
wrong. A state OF siege may just "

having done this, and finding no proof
Of guilt, to subject him to the treatment
of felon fora whole month, on the plea
that such is the regular course OF law,
which cannot be stopped even by the
executive power, is certainly most in
consistent, as the very existence Of
state Of siege supposes, o course, the
te mporary supp ession of regular law,

that he must have been implicated in
some way or the trial could not have
lasted so long, ordered him to leave the
Austrian territories in thu ee days; and
this they did. as they said, not on their
