The military are not less arbitrary and Violent
The total want of discipline, and the vandalism of
the soldiers quartered in the country, on farm
houses or gentlemen's residences, is without limit;
.hey take possession of what they choose they
are quite unrestraincd, and wo to him who com
plains.
At Battaglia they pillaged the house of Grimani,
and the robbery has not been punished
On the road between NOae and Mirano on the
morning of the 9Th instant, the worthy carrier,
DomenciO Barbiero, commonly called Frate,
man nearly eighty years of age, robbed and
murdered The Judicial tribunal of Mirano was
obliged to declare that his death was caused by
blows from sticks and scabbards, and was the deed
of the Austrian soldiery there stationed.
Nix carriers, who traverse the road between Noale
and Scorge in the evening, were assailed by par
ty OF six Austrian soldiers, but, meeting with a
valOrous resistance the ruiians were obliged to
fly; Of them left his cap in the carriers hands
Between Spnea and Mestre every evening for
the last fortnight similar acts Of violence have
been taking place, so that the road is extremely
dangerous.
In the market place of the Noale, in midday on
the 9TH inst, cOuntryman selling cheeses was sur
rounded by some soldiers and robbed of three of
his cheeses The NoaleSe, irritated beyond endur-
ance by the repeated annOvances and rObberes
committed by the soldiers, complained to the colo
mel in command, Count Thun, who was residing at
Mirano, begging for prompt repression Of these
continual N no 4rip ,prop

nal assembly, and demanded that they should pub

aggressiOnS and rObberies to the soldiers depu.
ty came forward and protested, with dignity and
resolution, that the accusations true; that the
crimes daily committed by the soldiers were unde-
nlaDle; that the deputatiOn could not contradict
them, but must confirm them and insist on their
energetic repression. The colonel, finding his
shameless demand refused, vented his rage in
threats and insults to which the deputies could
only oppose the silence of contempt.
But these only slight accounts of the bles-
sings that the miserable peace of Yilafranca has
bestowed on the Venetian people.
HUNGARY.
A letter from Pesth, dated the 29th nit, saws:
"The national demonstrations of the Hungarians
are increasing and multiplying in a manner which
must, one would think, cause serious annoyance to
the Nlennese government" Another most strik-
ing one took place three nights back at the Opera
House in this city. The most popular of the ma
tiona operas, Erke's ''Iunvadi Laszlo" (Ladslas
Hunyadi) was performed, and the house was crowd
ed from top to bottom.
Every Hungarian in it-whether high or low,
young or old, male or fcmale-was in the national
costume; in boxes, pit and gallery the well-known
and much loved garb was alone to be SEEN Ii is
possible that, to some English folk, a display of
tailoring and millinery may appear puorile in
the grave position in which the Hungarians now
stand; but among a semi Oriental nation, like the
HungarianS, matters of costume are not unimpOr-
tant; and, besides, the rcsuscitatiOn of national
garb, after it has long been almost universally laid
aside, could scarcely, fancy, fail to move any man
who really loves his country, even though he
should be of a calmer race and more northern
is important in the present situation of Hungary
is that the people Of all ranks and all creeds unite
to make national demonstrations the pretexts
which serve for the demonstrations. be thev the
centenary anniversary of the birth Of poet or the
'.jubiee" of Catholic bishop, or public meeting
Of PTotestants, matters little.
Although, Heaven knows, the Hungarans are
accustomed to acts of arbitrary power at the hands
OF Austria, and are consequently tOlerabv caIous,
she has just committed one which is exciting their
Indignation in an extraordinary degree. The aged
and venerable Greek Bishop of Munckas has been
kidnapped by the Austrian agents. and has been
carried of no one knows where. His family his
friends his flock, have made the most anxious in
quiries after him, but in vain. The authorities
will not say in what prison, what fortress he Is
cooped up. That he has done anything to nstiry
arrest no one believes, and, indeed, II he had, the
Austrian functionaries would. Of course have pro
claimed it far and wide. But true patriot, he is
known to sympathize heartily with the national
movement which is now taking place, and hence
the Niennese Cabinet has deemed it advisable to
have him out OF the way.
