TRI EDITOR OP TEE EXPIIIIIE.  Bis,—The Vienna papers, at a loss for news favoarable to the Austrian arms, have again had meatus, to calumny. They state that after the storming of Ofen, all the officers of the garrison were murdered by the Housed., and the unarmed Croats put to the sword. This statement is utterly without foundation; such a barbarous act as is ascribed to the Hungarians sullied ITaynau'a character when he conquered Brescia, but not the chivalrous Oorgey. That Percsel was out by Keichanin at Pancsova, is equally untrue. Letters, direct from Semlin, dated on the 23th ult.' say nothing about it, and do not even confirm the statement that Semlin has surrendered to the Hungarians. A statistic of the Hungarian army attributed to the late Minister of War (Metearos), is evidently a mere compilation from the newspaper.. No reliance can be placed on the stories that the Hungarlan army numbers nearly 400,000 men, one-half of them Poles, and one-fourth Italians and Frenchmen ; that there are 160 generals and 270 colonels, sad ginner trash. Next week I hope it will be in my power to furnish your readers with an authentic list of the Hungarian superior officer, as well as an official account of the Hungarian armed forces. I would willingly contradict, if it were possible, the atrocity reported to have been perpetrated by the Anstrians at -Freeberg—l allude to the flogging of Madame von Oudrarusky, a Hungarian lady of ample fortune, good family, and, what is more, unsullied reputation, whose son is favourably known in many of the est circles in Loudon. It is with a feeling of the abhorrent regret that we Hungarians see our enemies sinking into the lowest degree of moral degradation, and discrediting the common 'civilization of Europe. But it is from the Vienna papers that we learn she has been flogged at Freeburg, en pursuance of a sentence pronounced by a courtmartial, " for having had a secret understanding with the insurgents." The Austrians are the publishers of their own shame. After such a barbarous act, is it posaible that any one can dream of Hungary being conciliated by Austria? It is untrue that the Russians have advanced from Dukla to Kaabsu, and bombarded the latter town because it dared to resist. They have only crossed the northern frontier of Hungary at one point, viz., at liradish. I feel it incumbent on me to contradict a rumour circulating, and accredited in the diplomatic circles, that M. Deak, the late miuister of justice, is getting up a counter-revolution against Kossuth, and that he has already won over several oomitats. Living for years in close intimacy with both of these men, whom I can with pride publicly call my friends, I know too well Desk's open and loyal character, as well as the sincerity of his sentiments, expressed to me in 'September and November last, of the re' ,wing dynasty, which he designated as "perjured and perfidious,' not to consider myself entitled openly and positively to declare that Deak will never make a single step towards the support of that dynasty. The friends and agents of Austria are incessantly spreading. reports of dissension prevailing in the Hungarian camp; but why do they prohibit the circulation of the Gazette of Peak published without any official surveillance or control? They fear that the real state of things in Hungary should be known, as much as they fear the Hungarian arms. A fair estimate of what credit is due to the Vienna papers may be formed from their self-contradiction relative to Boa. So long as the Austrian only kept possession of B6s, its occupation was represented mot the highest importance; now that Bee, "in consequence of strategical motives," has been abandoned by the Austrians, and occupied by the Hungsrians, it has lost all its military consequence in their esti• mation.
