The Vienna correspondence of the 9th
inst, in the B,,iJn AFGs, says-
Charles l.. Brace, the American ar es-
ted in Hungary, has been released at
Lust. His own account, in part at least,

American public. There will be | think.
but one voice on the subiect-that OF
unqualified condemoat OF the whole
proceeding, as fragrant Violation Of the
rights Of an American citizen, and as e
matter calling for the decisive action OF
our gov ernment. IL such IN attack can
be made with impunity, where will be
the security for any American abroad,
and what will sigaify all our pride Of
country, and all our boasted national
strengths 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
a determination of using the latter when
necessary, the better it will be for bu-
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.
/ lt may be egarded as a palaing cir
cumstance in this that Hungary is in %
state of siege No doubt it is, as far as
/ the mere arrest is concerned; but at
subsequent proceedings make this err
cumstance only an aggravation of luG

the military authorities in arresting any
person whom they may suspect of de-
signs against the government, but after
| 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 a
state Of siege supposes, o course, the
tie mporary supp ession of regular law,
and the subsection of every thing to the
arbitrary will Of the executive author
titles And even this is not the worst
Feature Of the case. After Mr. Brace
/ ha be n declared innocent. and set free
I in Hungary. on arriving here at Vienna
he was called up by the police authori.
ties, who, after insulting him. by saying
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 TIN ee days; and
this they did. as they said. not on tneir
own responsibility but according o or
ders from the government MIR. Brace
told them he would represent this Mis-
minister, who would no doIbt, demand
of the government an explanation o
this proceeding. Ou going TO tn. police
