the Hungarians and Poles had been removed
from Widden to Shumla; and, notwitbstan-
ding that it was in the midst of severe win
ter, they decided upon proceeding at once to
the latter place.
The Sandman Consul applied to the gen.
'crous and very liberal Prince of Servia, in
whose priacipality Belgrade is, for his assis-
ia behalf of the ladies', and in the most hospi-
table and fearless manner he provided them
with his own carriage and four horses, and
an escor,, and in this way they started through
the snow for Shumla. Their journey was
without any apprehension of danger, for the
British Consul General at Belgrade, Mr..

whole body of the refugees.
When Madame Kossuth descended from
herscaTiage, she found herself in the pres
