Among the nobility, some Of whom
were condemned to death by courts
martial, and then amncstcd, he pays
assiduous court, though he is met ge-
ncralIy with cold looks and closed
doors. The tobacco monopoly, which
Austra is attempting to introduce, has
met with such strenuous opposition,

nau is as eager in this moral rebellion
as the best Magyar among them,
swearing "thc mans rogue who

ish minister, for the prisoners Of the
Lopez party, on the ground that they
were entced by false representations
OF revolution. The whole number Of

The "garoite," by which Lopez
died, is a mode Of execution peculiar
