JELLACHICII—the advance of the latter into Hungary, and his appointment as Lord-Lieutenant to restore the despotic sway of the EMPEROR in that country—the horrible excesses committed by the semibarbarian Croatian troops whom the Emperor of AUSTRIA has taken into his pay—the intrigues which it is known the Camarilla has been carrying on with the Sclavonian chiefs, in order to obtain the aid of the Sclaves in repressing the spirit of liberty in Germany, have produced the effects which every one must have anticipated as the results of intrigues so audaciously, and yet at the same time so clumsily conducted. In vain does the fowler set his snare in sight of the bird, and the Viennese plainly perceived that if JELLACHICH were permitted to conquer the Hungarians there would be an end of liberty in Vienna. With JELLACHICII and his Croatians advancing from Pesth, with WINDESGRATZ advancing from Prague, and RADETZRY from Italy, not only would the recently dear-bought liberties of Vienna be annihilated, but all who had endeavoured to secure those liberties would inevitably fall victims to the vengeance of the despot. It is not at all surprising, therefore, that the appointment of JELLACIIICII to the government of ' Hungary, and the attempt to forward to him reinforcements of troops from Vienna should have produced an insurrection in that city of a more serious character than any of which it has yet been the theatre. The fight was long and murderous, but at length the people were victorious. We lament to add that they sullied their victory by the perpetration of a horrible murder. Count LATOUR, the Minister at War (the friend and protector of JELLACHICH), and who had been moving heaven and earth to send him reinforcements, was dragged from his house, stabbed in several parts of his body, dispatched by a blow from a sledge hammer, and then his lifeless body was suspended from a gibbet for some hours. The EMPEROR has fled in the direction of Lintz, and Vienna is at this moment in the hands of the Diet. The following are the details of the insurrection. On the 6th October, the German Grenadier Guards were ordered to march and join the expedition against the Hungarians. They communicated with the corps of National Guards of the suburb of Gumpendorf, in which their barracks were situate, and with the Academical Legion, from both of which they received a promise that measures would be taken to prevent their departure. The National Guards'. from the Hundsthurm assembled at six o'clock on the morning of the 6th at the terminus of the Northern Railroad, from which they removed the rails, for the purpose of preventing the departure of the Grenadiers. The latter arrived soon after, and the commanding officer, seeing that the removal of his troops by rail was impossible, gave orders for their proceeding on foot to Ganserndorf, a station on the line, from whence he hoped it would be possible to effect their conveyance by the railroad. But this plan too was resisted by the National Guards, the numbers of which increased with every minute. A barricade effectually stopped the march of the regiments near the Tabor bridge. They were ordered by their officer to storm this barricade. Instead of doing so they fraternized with the National Guard, who destroyed the bridge, and thus prevented the cuirassiers from advancing. The insurgents were reinforced by the Academic Legion, when the Nassau Infantry arrived with some pieces of artillery, and summoned the insurgents to surrender. The insurgents advanced and seized four pieces of artillery and a powder- wa ggon, without opposition. The Nassau Infantry then fired three vollies at the insurgents, who advanced from the barricades, charged the Nassau Infantry, and put them to flight, killing their Commander-General
