NHE H-AA-H
In the midst OF the remarkable speech on Eu-
roPean affairs, lately delivered by Kossuih, at
he London Tavern. he uttered a vehement and
%scornful denunciation OF the pretensions OF
Austria to be a nation, treating her as an az
glomeTation Of discoIdant. reluctant and IN
e%ongenial n7tionalities. At the close OF the
philippe occurs the following bitter sentence:
an fact, Austria is the only power in Eu-
rope which has no national character It IS OF
no country, Of no race IL is lust A dynasty,
and nothing more it is simply the house OF
H7psburg-nO, not even that: everything in
that accused house is usurp7'ion, down to
thrir very name they are not Hspsburgs, they
are Lorrain-Nandemonfs. rebel ious crown Of
hcers Of France. as Napoleon 7 used 70 stvle
ihem-not thew, but the Lords Denbigh. Of The
house Of Fielding, are the only HaPs5urgs on
EARTH,
There is an explanation Of this last curious
statemen-, with nav be found in any work
on English genealogies. T. is therein claimed
that the principal line of The Hapsburgs, En-
psrors Of Germany and Austria, was extinct
in the last century, and that the successors in
the male line Of the founder exists in the Field
ing f7milv. Earls o. Danbigh in England, and
Desmond 10 Ireland. They make it out after
the following manner:
So long ago a. the reign Of Henry III Of
England, he had, among his most favored fol-
lowers, a German Knight younger son Of
the Count OF HapsburE and Rheinfei'der. The
King gave him estates, and he assumed the
name Of Fielding, from one OF The German
titles o. the house. The family grew in wealth
through several generations. One Of the de-
scendauts served In the civil wars Of Charles
/, and was created Earl Of Denbigh in En-
| gland, and bis son was created Earl Of Des-
mond in Ireland. The Fieldings abb cred 20

many. The elder line Of the Hapsburgs was
extinct with Charles VI, Emperor OF Germany.
The Austrian family was continued bv the
daughter Of Charles, tn celebrated Maria
Theresa, a. Queen OF Austris and Hungary,
BY her marriage with Francis Of Lorraine,
Grand Duke OF Tuscany, she became Empress
OF Gsrmany-Fr7ncis having been afterwards
elected Emperor. Thus-as stated bv Kos
subtitle Imperial horse are not the true
Hasburgs, for they are REPRESENTED in the male
line by the Fieldings, o. the house Of Denbigh,
inSEngland.
a few words may no. be out Of place here,
explaining what was meant hv Napoleon I in
speaking Of the Imperial family Of Austria as
"Loraine V~andemoH's,' rebels TO France.
The Emperor Francis, BY his marriage ,sith
Maria Theresa, the head n he house. was at
the time Of his marriage Grand Duke Of Tus-
canv, but was also Duke Of Upper Lorraine,
and native Of that Duchv, which il now a de-
pertinent Of France. But il was originally
German, and only fell 20 France BY a treaty
made after the conclusion Of a war for the
succession in Poland, BY which Lorraine was
given 10 The eX-king Of Poland, and Tuscany
to The DIXIE Of Lorraine. The King Of France
OL01is XVI who had married the daughter Of
King Stani7'ans, on his death succeeded to
Lorraine, which thus became French. Fran

Germany: but We confess we cannot compre-

Hicks. the mother Of said girl. who arrived in
the town Of Abbeyville on Tuesday, the Oh
inst. On the trial Of the case It was proved
that Wilson went to the house Of Mrs. Hicks,
in Columbia, Georgia, about the 1st Of last
March, where be remained sick for several 1
weeks On his recovery, be desired 10 marry the
young lady. and finding that her mother was
opposed to their marriage, he stole her away,
and brought her to the house Of the Rev. John
Guilford, 10 whom he sold her FOR a slave. On
bis return TO Columbus, he procured her bro
Their, a boy about fifteen years old, and sold
him 10 a gentleman In Georgia. The girl has
worked on the plantation aud is considerably
sunburnt, which makes her appear rather
dark. The girl Patience had an infant daugh-
ter.
The case was tried before Judge Williams, OF
the Probate Court, and the mother and child
were released from the services Of GuiIford.
The Banner states, however, that the counsel
for Guildford have taken the case 10 the Su-
preme Court, not with the expectation OF again
enslaving The girl but with the expectation Of
clearing Guilford n the cost, imposed upon him
by the Judge Of Probate.
I" IT WAS BY BHoTHER's while passing
rapidly up King street, we saw a little boy
seated on a curb-stone. He was apparently
about five risk years Old, and his well-combed
hair, clean hands and face, bright though
well-pat he'd apron, and whole appearance, in
dieated that be was the child Of a loving
though INDECENT mother. As we looked at him
closely, we were struck with the heartbroken
expression Of his countenance, and the marks
of recent tears on his cheek. SO, yielding to
an impulse which always leads US to sympa-
thize with the joys or sorrows Of the little ones,
we stopped, and putting a hand upon his head,
asked what was the matter. He replied bv
holding up bis open hand, in which we beheld
The fragments Of a broken tiny toy-ths figure
Of a COW.
" Oh : is that an Well, never mind il.

other and we dropped a four-penes into
bis hand. THAT will buy another, will it
not. f"

Of grief, but that was little brother
Tommy's, and he is dead"
The wealth Of the world could not have SUP
piled the vacancy that the breaking Of that
top bad left In bis little heart. It was Tommy's,
and he was dead.
