Only Ne,os wr ties thus, ~ regard to this matter
briefly mentioned in the telegraphc accounts
the other day:
On the a2d September, early, the names and
efiigies of the Hungarian fugitives were publicly
executed by hanging them in the market place

accompany the execution Of human being =

Pesth reports the fact in the simple terms which
state of siege permits.
The mil tsry were drawn out and formed into
square, within which there a. peared the usual
galIows. The officer IN command read the sen.
tence Of the eourtmarti J, according to which
SO persons were sentenced 10 death in efTigy,
having been tried in continuation, (Anglice, while
fuetives from justice,) and found guilty Of high
treason. The sentence having been read, the
hsngman was ordered TO do his duty, which he
did by hanging up string of black boards, on
which the name Of the sentenced criminals were
written,
OF course the military were indispensable,
otherwise the populace would instantly have
torn down the boards and hung the hangman
and his commanding officer in their place.

Three days since we referred TO the tumultu.
Gus meeting held at New Orleans by the accom-
Ices Of the expedition Of Lopez. We recon.
mended, on that oeeasion, that our government

territory and that it should also demand salts

representative In one of the ports of the Union
had been great, should the ACCOUNTS that have
circulated through Madrid prove to be true.
We have now no longer any doubt OF the
intentions Of the government; and while VIC
have no reason to believe anything 10 the con-
trary, we believe and trust that such course
will be followed as will raise the honor Of the
Spanish nation, and the respect due to its flag in
the esteem Of the world. We trust, too, that
we shall thus give other powers a proof that IT,
from diversity Of causes, our empire has de.
clined so much, we still preserve the noble and
proud feelings that distinguished our ancestors,
and that these same feelings will never allow Us
to suffer the most insignificant outrage against
the chivalrous and high-tempered Spanish M.
tlon.
We have, too, on cur aide the sanctity Of our
cause as an auxiliary. We have with us the
just prescriptions of the international law that
regulates the intercourse of nations, while we
can also place in the balance certain political
considerations that turn the scales completely in
our favor

things have come, it is permitted our govern
