AUSTRIAN TYRANNY. KossutII, at the re-
cent meeting held in London 10 present to
him copy Of the Works of Shakespeare, re I.
lated the following instance of Austrian tyr
amy, which, for cold-blooded ntrocity, it
would be difficult to parallel:
"You remember the attempt OF Libeny TO
assassinale Francis Joseph, whom men may
call Emperor of Austria, but who is certainly
not King Of Hungary. (Cheers.) certain
Iy am not the man either 10 excuse assassins,
or 10 justify assassinations, though you are
all taught in your universities to honor Bru-
tus with the name of hero and patriot. -
| only wonder why all who justly condemned
Libeny for his criminal attempt have not
equal words of condemnation for other as
snssinations, but that | will leave TO their
own conscience. However, Libeny having
stricken his blow, General Kempfen sent
word TO The martial court that from the vast
number of Hungarian political prisoners.
four should be Despatched Immediately 10
Pesth, TO be executed there. The court
martial-mark the words, gentlemen, even
an Austrian acknowledgement that.
unfortunately, they could not furnish his ex-
cellency with the wanted victims, as il lust
so happened that there was no prisoner con-
demned. or who could be condemned TO
death, all fit persons having been despatched
in due course WELL, Kempfen, answered
If you have none, will designate four, who
guilty or not gully, shall die So he did.
The designated individuals had already had
their trial. One had been sentenced upon
suspicion to ten years prison; JuhbaI, for
merly tutor to the children Of my sister, to
four years and the TWO others equally to
imprisonment. Kempfen answered, 'Tried
or not tried, that does not matter; they shall
die; and new special court having been
patched up in haste, they have been doomed
and executed.
