A certain Bavarian Captain (or . man pass
ing himself for q Bavarian Csptain) was intro
duced to Gov. Ujhaxi, his family, and Mademoi-
selle Jagiello, now my wife, when they were
passing through Hamburg to embark for this,
the country Of their asylum. That Bsvarian
is not political exile. He came to this coun-
try on board the same steamer which brought
Gov. Ujhazi and his party of Hungarian exiles,
with view of seeking better fortune than he
enjoyed in his native land He behaved like a
gentleman and was very courteous in Hamburg,
on board the steamer, and in New York, which
gained him the respect and consideration Of
the whole party of the Hungarian exiles. He
lived upon their charity, and Mademoiselle
Jagiello loaned him money, which he never re-
turned, and introduced him to many respecta-
BILE families in New York. Her charitable kind
ness seems to have been misunderstood by that
individual, or, at least, so it appears from his
subsequent conduct, which brought to light the
inward character Of the individual. He came
to washington, few weeks ago, for the pur-
pose OF finding some employment and having
learned that Mademoiselle Jagiello was engaged
to me, he tried to revolt her against me
failing in this, he resorted to the villany Of
defaming the lady whom he once adored, and
circulated assertions that would never marry
her, &c. Our subsequent marriage having put
the lie in his throat, he left Washington for
New York, and tempted the Hungarian exilesl
to furnish him testimony to impeach the char
acter Of my lady, offering two hundred dollars
to any who would do so. No Hungarian could
be bought by him; but he enlisted as accom-
plices Of his baseness two foreigners: one q
native Of Vienna, who served in the Hungarian
army, and claims to be q Hungarian major; the
other is Hungarian Jew, q pedlar, whom the
Hungarian revolution elevated to the rank Of
lieutenant These two individuals, year ago,
denounced Governor Ujhazi as traitor, stating
that he assumed the rank Of Governor Of Co
morn in this country, SC. The public were
disabused from this falsehood by the we'll
known letter which Kossuth wrote to General
Cass, recommending Gov. Ujhazi as his par
ticular friend, and most deserving Of regard as
Hungarian patriot. Now, the same individ-
uals, as have been informed, gave the Bava-
rian Captain certificate or affidavit, averring
that my wife is Jewess, and OBTAINING
her character by the most shameless false de-
nunciations. l have been trying during the
whole week to lay hand upon o copy Of that
libel, (Which has been printed in the form of q
circular, and is circulated by the Bavarian Cap
tain, for the purpose Of indicting the libellers
AS yet have not succeeded; the friends of nv
wife and mine refusing to take from the libeller
copies Of the libel; and those who are strangers
to us declining to furnish any to us-probably
unwilling to become witnesses in the criminal
prosecution, which requires that the circulation
Of the libel be proved against the Ibeller.
Under these circumstances Of the case, this
statement of facts is submitted to the public of
this community, in order to disabuse them in
the premises, and caution all respectable fami-
hes against the unworthy individuals. 1t seems
to me that this unfortunate circumstance re-
quires of me to say who is my wife. Unwilling
as am to boast OF her ancestry, the truth COM
mands me to state, that she is Polish lady by
birth, of a most respectable family. The family
of Jagiellons furnished kings to Poland during
three centuries. The direct line or branch Of that
family extinguished two centuries ago, but there
are in various parts of Poland several collateral
branches Of that family, and my wife is q descen-
dant of one of those branches Her father was a
rich, landed proprietor of Lithuania, province
of former Poland, incorporated with Russia. He
took prominent part in tho revolution of 1880,
and fought the battles Of Poland under the same
standard of liberty under which / fought; his
property was confiscated at the same time when
mine was confscated, and he died poor exile
in Cracow My wife, however, inherited a
handsome fortune upon the death Of her grand
mother. She lost it in consequence of her leav-
ing home to aid the cause of Hungarian indie
pendence. / abstain, for the present, from
publishing the names of the ibellers, solely
from charitable motives. They will be pub
lished, however, if they continue the villanous
conspiracy against my WIFE l consider them
as unworthy of any other notice.

to Captain Goddard, he permitted hack to be

its adoption.
