placed our feet upon Ottoman soil. We

reckon the year from the day when the
sentence of our transportation into the
interior was decreed. Again we waited
patiently. At length they seemed 20 re-
volt at being any longer the jailers OF
Austria, and they permitted us to hope
that on the anniversary Of our arrival at
Kutahja, our liberty would be restored to
US.
Well,this anniversary has arrived
Let us see what it has brought US.
A poor Hungarian, Major Domotor,
prefering as do, exile or even death to
servitude. destitute of all means of sub
sistance, had come eight months before
to ask my advice and some assistance TO
go to Belgrade, in order to send for his
wife thither, who was living at Peter
WARDEN.
1t WAS matter of simple humanity
/ gave him some slight assistance, and he
departed for Belgrade.
When he arrived there, he had been al
ready anticipated by the accusations of
Austria, who sees everywhere my hand
in the we'll founded discomfort OF her OPP
pressed people, and who. as her whole
life is conspiracy against God and hu-
mainly, finds conspiracy in everything
Austria then anticipated him by the lying
accusations of being the bearer of procla-
| nations from me to the Hungarian ma
J ton.
| The accusations was false. / affirm
il on my honor. Nevertheless, on the
faith of spies without honor or character,
Austria caused to be arrested, Smelin,
his poor wife on her way to join her ex
lied husband, and the imaginary procla-
nations demanded as the price Of her
liberty.
Domotor justified himself before the
Servian government in so striking man.
ner, that that government, although only
feeble vassal of the powerful Ottoman
Empire, found sufficient strength in the
business of his cause to protect him.
Austria was obliged to loose her hold.
The poor wife was permitted to join her
husband, bnt upon condition that Do
motor should Immediately leave Belgrade.
This poor woman is creditor of Aus
tria. Her entire heritage. the money of
the orphan. is IN the hands of Austria,
not by confiscation but in trust.
Domotor resisted the insolent demands
of the Austrian Consul until the debt
due TO his wife should be paid.
This is his crime. He dared to de-
mand the return of the poor orphans
heritage.
The Servian government continued
generously to support and protect him
eight months.
But as the Austrian Consul persisted
in his persecution, and as the Dragomen
of the Pachalik of Belgrade (who is ra-
ther an officer Of Austria than OF the sub
lime Porte) made common cause with
the consul, the Servian government was
obliged at length TO remove him from
Belgrade; but his cause was SO just that
our government even then gave him per-
mission to reside at Crajugavner, and
continued us his protection to enable
him to follow up his judicial dispute with
| Austria.
1t was under such circumstances that
Major Domotor, seeing the commercial
enterprise which he had undertaken in
order TO support himself and wife, ruined
by his removal, and finding it impossi-
BILE to provide for the existence of his
wife in the city in which residence was
offered him, was obliged to leave her
without money, exposed. to die of hun
ger, to come again to ask my assistance
aud advice. He came furnished with reg
ular passports.
He was upon the point of departure,
when, on tn, anniversary itself of our
detention at Kutahja, an order suddenly
arrived from the Grand Vizier that he al
SO should be detained.
His passports were regular; he was
neither subject nor a guest of Turkey.
his wife was friendless, and dying of hum
ger at Kragujevner, but what Of that?-
1t seems that the Agents of Austria have
the power to treat with ridicule the rights
of nations, and the personal salty of in
dividuals in Turkey. One of them caus-
ed an Hungarian to be publicly arrested
at Smyrna, because he was one Of my SER
wants, and transported him to an Austri-
an dungeon. where he still languishes;-
onother Turkish cursed house to be search

in order to possess himself of papers be-
longing TO Hungarian emigrants. He
inveigled others into his official resi-
dence, as in trap. and there he caused
them to be bound and carried on board
an Austrian vessel, because they refused
. to PIT an insulting amnesty from the
hands of the executioners of their coun-
