in The telegraphic accounts yesterday:
On the 22d September, early. the

Disappointed in their passionate desire
to wreak The most frightful vengeance
on the head Of Kossulh and his friends,
the Austrian government has hung them
in ehigy. The Mirror, of Pesth, reports
the fact in the simple terms which state
of siege permits.

voluntary contributions to one hundred
