While travelling from Agram to Fiettine, they were attacked on the 13th of August, about, 25 English miles from the latter place, by a body of thirty or forty peasants, :-nd after a stout but fruitless resistance, overpowered. The r &Luis assailed them, without the slightest provocation with large stones and sticks, and some even with muskets. They endoavoured to defend themselves by presenting pis-. gals at their assailants, and once Mr. Gleig fired over their heads, but the shot not having taken effect, seemed only to irritate them the more. They closed round Mr. Gleig, and as he still abstained from taking life, beat him to the ground. In this situation be must Lave been ki1le;1, had not. his son, a youth of 13, discharged his pistol among the ruffians, which, drawing their attention tar a moment from his father, g v e the latter art opportunit' to recover his feet, and a short sword which he fortunately carried with him. Of this weapon he made such good use, that he in his turn delivered the gallant boy from the hands of four men with whom he was ;true-gling. The result, however, was that, on an assurance front the leader of the assault, the Richter, or magistrate, of the village of Marlavoditn, that no harm would come to thorn, as they sh-Juld be carried before Count Liethtenstein, they gave of their arms, and were immeolia ely made prisoners ; tb' were then dragged into tae Dorf-tickler's cottage and bleeding . and there, with wounds still open, profeely, by ruffi:lo: they were, kept all night, guarded who Wrank, and smoked, and, from time to time., nade signs as if they intended to murder them.

Having been kept in this manner all night, Mr. Gleig and his son were on the morrow carried back as prisoners to the town of Logue. Here the authorities put Mr. G. in thains ; while the Stoot-richter, or judge of the district, before whom he was taken, refused, in spite of passports, and Various letters to persons of rank in Germany, to believe that he was not what the peasants represented him to be, a spy or a robber. No orders were given to dress his wounds, which continued to bleed a good deal, and he was ordered back to Agram. But just as the waggon wi.s brought round for the purpose of removing him, Mr. Hill arrived. The latter gentleman had proceeded to the governor of Fieume, immediately on receiving the express, and procuring from him every necessary assistance, lie hastened to the relief of his countrymen. Nor could any functionary behave in a like case with greater firmness, discretion, and ability.
