But he suggested, this course would scarcely
be attended with appreciate advantages mas
much as the house was enteure by soldiers Sc
that the Generals escape would be impossible
and as moreover. the ultimate result would
assuredly be prompt trial and dishonorablt
execution. These arguments had weight WITH
the hasty but sensible Changarnier, who there

Not so, again. with the amiable Cavaignac
The gentler occupation in which he had lately
been engaged had probably sottened his heroic
spirit; and, upon his being aroused from hls
slumbers and informed that he was arrested
he placidly remarked, "CeSt juste" and, rub
bing his eyes, requested to be apprized whether
he might be permitted to dress himself; adding
in the most courteous manner, that his toilet
would not detain him long Being entreated

whom he. was 80 shortly to have espoused, in
which he chivalrously declared that he con-
ceived that the event which had occurred had
entirely deprived him of any right to consider
her bound by engagements made with free
man, and he formally released her from any
such ties: If may state this, | must claim
leave to add, for the admiration of all who can

From which little romance let us pass to the

being also captured in bed, refused to get up,

guise thrust into vehicle and con-

determined resistance of a more soldierly kind;
nut the impression seems to be, that the &C
cunt of it which found its way into print was
much exaggerated, and that no particular harm
vas done.
GERMANY.
Opinion of the Usurpdtion.-The Prussian
Military Journal has an article on Louis Be-
apartes usurpation, which, as giving the opin-
ons of soldiers upon military revolutions, may

What has happened and what is yet to hap
zen is not the end, but the beginning, of an un-
,nown something, perhaps great enough to
hake the world. An army that feels its pow
n, and suddenly sees the proof of it before it,
will use and apply it and as barrcades will no
onger give it much to do, the regiments will
become parliamentary councils, where will be
discussed what further is to be done.

AUSTRIA
The Mother and Sisters of Kos,uth--We
read in a letter from Pesth, of the LIST: "The
house occupied by the mother and sisters of Kos
suth, opposite the karoly Palace was surround
ed in the night and perquisitions were made in
their apartments kossuth's sisters Mesdames
Rutthay and Messelengi, and the tutor of the
latter's children, were afterwards removed to
another part of the building The mother of
Kossuth obtained permission to remain in her
apartment but she was placed under the sur
yeillance of the police The tutor was subse-
quently put in irons.
Things IN the Prorincss--The news from the
provinces grows more and more discouraging.
The Archduke Albert, unable to calm the ex-
element of mems minds in Hungary, has re-
turned to Vienna, in alarm, for fresh instruc-
tons. In Italy, an organized sy-tem Of ter
rorism has commenced which might be com
pared with the Whiteboy days in Ireland, ADD
the Austrian officials receive daily threats Of a.
sassination, contained in anonymous letters
