every day with the Austrian officers at
the little village Orsowo, on the banks
of the Danube. One day l expressed
q desire to see the place on the other
side of the Danube where Kossuth had
buried the crown of St. Stephen, of
Hungary, when the army fed into
Turkey; the place had been discover
ed, the crown disinterred. but l wanted
to see the singular tomb
Col. 2. promised to go with me the
next day on the other side Of the

and had nearly reached the opposite
side when heard 4 report, and at the
same time three or four 1flls whistled

rushed upon me, muttering something
! did not understand, and led me 10
my friend, the colonel. He looked at
me exasperated. Sir said he, swhat
were you doing on the bridge =
Il went to visit the tomb
Enough! Without permit
And the sentinel! did not arrest you

A sergeant answered in German

-Four men and myself" replied the
sergent

The Colonel went to the window,
called the guard of the opposite tent,
and gave the man into custody.
The next day the men were shot, in
spite of my appeals to the Colonel on
my knees, for pardon for those unfor
tunate men, of whose death ! was the
cause.
The Colonel was infexible. When
those five Croats, pierced by shots.had
fallen, the Colonel, who regretted the
loss of his soldiers, and seemed TO for
get our friendly relations, said;
And now, sir. leave the territory
in two hours, or shall have you arrest
