The New York Herald says: 0corge Klap-
ka, the Hungarian General who dsfe11 No
Austrian armies under Windischgrs1m, vi
den and Deempen, 90 often and brilliantly,
in the war Of Hungarian Independsnoe, and
who was, and still is, regarded BY all milf
tary men, as the best chief OF all revolution
airy leaders in Europe, is now, az the French
and Sandman papers, and the German and
English correspondence announce, at Genoa,
occupied in forming and drilling the frst OF
a corps d. armee to be composed and filled up
out OF the ranks Of the enemy. This fact,
prospected by one Of our correspondents
some weeks ago, and then doubted by some
Of our contemporaries, is not only most sig
nifcant for the intentions Of the French EN-
peror, but will probably be still more impor-
tant by it's strategical and political conse-
uuences. After the battle Of Montebello,
only twenty five prisoners were sent to Mar
settles, and hence to Paris, to give the Pris-
ian people show Of the victory 80 necessary
and so useful to keep up this warlike spirit Of
the French nation. The rest have been re-
tanned at Genoa, and almost oil Of them en-
tered voluntarily the battalion of Klapka.--
The Hungarian, Polish, aad German refu-
gees, who are pouring in from ell sides, from
Malta, England, and the Ionian Islands, from
Turkey and Egypt, will Eli up rapidly the
ranks OF the corps Of Klapka, and we will
have in some weeks, q curious spectacle to
see under the banner Of the French Autocrat
two revolutionary armies, the army Of Gar
ibaldi and Klapka.
1t is not difficult for those who are not &C.
quainted with the secret agreement between
the Hungarian leader and the French Empe-
ror to foresee the scene on which this last
army or corps d'armse Is determined to act,
being gathered and gathering ct Genoa, 9
port not too far from the great French naval
station at Toulon or Msrseilles. French
feet OF steamers can and may carry 1t, in
some days, to the Eastern shore of the Adri.
alto, to be landed in the neighborhood Of Fl
ume, or Cattaro, on the frontiers OF Hun
gary. The Austrians fear so much such STRAIT
egical diversion, that they are already, since
several weeks, busily occupied in terrifying
ell positions and places on the Dalmatisn
coast where descent of the French can be
| effected.
| The correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
writes, that in travelling from Cattaro to FL
ume, and Trieste, he found all the coast
along, literally covered with Austrian en-.
gineers, with soldiers and workmen Digging
and arranging strand batteries on every
somewhat exposed point, and terrifying al
the old castles, and all the old Roman ruins
and all towns, boroughs and hamlets alo np
the coast. We are entitled to suppose, tina
we will soon have second theater Of war
the curtain Of which will be drawn up sud
denly, to the astonishment of the stupe6ed
world.
NThe Rev. s. J. May, in recent lette
to the Syracuse Standard, thus refers to 81
Armenian convent near Venice:
ssIt is the place where, it is said, oil tn
printing is done for the scattered but still
numerous members Of this ancient branch
Of the Christian Church. Unlike most o
those who live in monasteries, the monks il
this little community are Industrious, an,
wthal learned men. Some Of them under
stand and print books in twenty.seven Ian
guages. They showed US q volume contain
ing prayer Of the church in that humble
Of different dialects. We bought of ther
several of their publications, and they CAV
US a catalogue Of all the books that hav
been issued from their press. The onl
American works they have translated an
printed in the Armenian language are Uncl
Toms Cabin and collection of MIR. Bryant
