The War Inhmgary, 1848-9. By Max Sclile-...
the War inHmgary , 1848-9 . By Max Sclile-. singer . Translated by J . E ., Taylor . ' . Edited , with iNotes and an Introduction , \ by Francis Polszky . 2 vol . , Bentley . TVT , Max ScWesinger is by birtli a . Hungarian , —by the accidents of fortune a German . For some time a resident in : Prague , and more recently settled in Berlin , he has had excellent opportunities of seeing the men and studying
the questions connected , both in the literary and political sense with the present movement qf ideas and races in Eastern Europe . His acquaintance with the aspects of nature in his satire land—bis knowledge of the peculiar character " of its inhabitants , their manners , modes of thought and habits of life—his familiarity with its past history—his right conception of the leading men in the recent struggle — are all Touched for . as " essentially
accurateby no less an authority than Count rulszky . It . would . be an injustice merely to . say thatM . ScWesinger has given in an original and picturesque , way a general view of the course of events in the late war more complete and connected than is afforded in any account hitherto presented to the public . He has done more : he has enabled the German' and . English reader to understand the miracle of a nation offour or five millions of men rising np at the command of a great statesman and doing successful battle with the elaborately organised power of a first class European state , shaking it to its very foundations , and
contending , not without hope , against two mighty military empires , —until the treachery from -within paralysed its power of resistance . The Straggle , brief as it was , brought out , to the surprise of Europe , almost every element which might have contributed to success—great statesmen , great . generals ^ expert financiers , adroit diplomatists , heroic " soldiers . In these mysteries M . Schlesinger has contrived to throw many and interesting side-lights . So far as affects the political and military question , vre have here the social organisation of the country laid bare , —we become familiar
• with the Csikos , the Kanasz , the Gulyas , and the Halaszes in their homes and among their native forests and Heaths . "We find the material of armies , so to say , waiting for the forming hand of genius—ready to obey its pressure and take the shape desired . Wefeel almost present in the scene ; and , as the Americans say , can realise the mode in which Kossuth ' s extraordinary power was exercised . The effect rather increases in grandeur , when we come to understand the means . The thing ceases to be a mystery , — but remains a miracle .
. 31 . Schlesinger gives an interesting account of the Csikos , the Kanasz , and the Gulyas . The first is . the . hunter of the half-wild horses reared on the great Hungarian plains ; the second is a swineherd , in a country where the profession is one of great hardship and peril ; the third , is the lord of the heath on which his cattle feed . The Csikos makes a magnificent hussar when well trained ; : but in the late war they fought with their long whips , and with these did excellent service : —
The foot soldier who has discharged his musket is lost when opposed to the Csikos ! His bayonet , -with which he can defend himself against the Uhlans and Hussars , is here of no use to him ; all his practised manmuvrcs and skill are unavailing against the long "whip of his enemy , - which drags Lim to the ground , or beats him " to death with its leaden buttons ; nay even if he had still a charge in his musket , he could sooner hit a bird en the wing , than the Csikos—who riding round and round him in wild hounds , dashes with Ms steed first to one side , then to another with the speed of lightning , so as to frustrateanyaim . The horse-soldier , armed in the usual manner , fares not much better , and woe to him if he
meets a Csikos singly ; better to fall in with a pack of ravenous wolves . It was fortunate for the Imperialists that the Csikoses . from the nature of their -weapons , -were incapable of fighting in close ranks , or -they would have constituted a most formidable power . Jfevertheless , in a serai-official report it was stated that they . had broken the centre of an Austrian corps before Comorn ; but their boldness and the discouragement of the Austrians must on this occasion have assisted them quite as much as their whip and the short hook , which in case of need they hurl with dexterity . At Wieselburg the Imperialists caught one of these fellows alive , and brought Bmas . a curiosity to the camp . The General in command and his officers had a mind to see the
brown bird on the - wing , and stuck up a man of straw in front of the tents , on which the Csikos was ordered to exhibit bis skill . The lad consented , only desiring to be shown the point where his leaden bail was te strike . He then galloped at full speed several times round the straw figure , whirled his whip in the air , aud to the astonishment of all present , the ball struck exactly the spot marked . The spectacle was , by general desire , ordered to be repeatedasecond and a third time , when possibly
it occurred to the poor hunted Csikos that he might cjake a better use of his weapon than against a harmless man of straw ; and with a wild scream he whirled his whip into the midst of the gaping circle , -dashed through it on his trusty horse , and away over the country through the green corn-fields to the Danube . A dozen shots were fired after him , but fortune favoured the fugitive : be reached the opposite shore and the camp of his countrymen in afety . -
Out of such men it was not difficult to make warriors , when' generals , stores , arms , equipments , money nad been obtained : —but these all required also to he created . "We look back "wiiu astonishment at the working power of Kossuth . He stamped his name on bits of paper , and his countrymen took them as gold . They exchanged for them all the Austrian bank Botes m the country . These were sent to yienna , and cashed . Arms , ammunition , army clothing were smuggled in from abroad ; asystem of telegraphs arose at his bidding ; and the comfort and even the lives of delicate j omen were placed at his disposal to expedite despatches . M . Schlesinger vividl y describes this system : —
, So one had ever before heard of telegraphs in Hungary , and now on a sudden we are told of th » existence of an immease net ! This mi » ht eive * ise to misconception , without some explanation it is true that there are no proper telecra ,, i , s B " ever have been in Hungary . On the hei ghts , ' and pa the church-towers , we find no telsgrardpc apparatus by day , nor fire signals bv night ; we find no electric wires or batteries on * tbe ~ Blains— - > ud yet Kossuth bad his telegraphs .

the women gaze - out of the windows with sad and anxious looks ; but all is stiuVriota single cheer is beard for the soldiers who nre going forth to battle ; but a hundred thousand prayers , breathed in silence for the enemies whom they are going to encounter , is all the farewell salutation thev take with them on their march . A dashing cavalry officer has meanwhilendden on before throughthe streets , andlightedhis cigarat the pipe of a countryman standing idle at the banner .. In doing so the man's pipe goes out : what can it be that moves him so powerfully ? He ' runs aside to a sand-hill , quickly strikes a light again with a flint and steel , but instead of lighting the tobaccoin his pipe , ^ he . kindles a faggot , extinguishes it again , once more lights it , and goes his way . The man must be a dreamer or a madman , for he has thrown his short pipe also into the fire , to make it burn the brighter ............ Let us look further . At short distances another * i .

column of smoke , and another , and still ' another A little hump-backed gipsy-lad ,., who . has . been gathering faggots , in the woods from early in the morning , perceives a column of smoke , and immediately throws on the ground the bundle he has collected with such labour , sets fire to nistreasure- ^ - a second Sardanapalus . We now . turn our view still further to . the , east . . A . boy ia . seen -running throughthe Tillage—a horseman , is flying , over the Heath—a dog swims across the " river— -arid horse and rider , dog and boy , are all links in that great ; livinsr , invisible net of telegraphs . '" A few * Tiours nftertbo Imperial army has set out from Buda , the rout of its march is known on-the . banks of the Theiss , and the necessary precautions are taken , whilst the Imperial General with all his power cannot bribe one trusty spy . Such is the history of the Hungarian telegraphs , ' which were used in the Netherland as - early as by Philip II ., and will always find employment where , a national war is waged against a foreign standing army .
This is one side of the p icture . Then , let us glance at another . It is ^ in these things that the secrets of the grand results which amazed the west of Europe are to be sought . — It was on the second . evening after ¦ Razga's execution , that a carriage stopped at the . door of a nobleman ' s mansion in the county ofTf * f . This country bouse was situated . in one of the finest parts of the noble valley of the , "Wang , aside from the high road . * * During the whole year all had been quiet in this mansion : its possessor had
followed -Kossuth from Pesth to , Debreczin ; his beautiful wife and her youngest sister kept house alone , with a few trusty servants . The two ladies had hastily stepped on to the balcony , to see whether the " visit was to them , and ¦ w hat guest " could have wandered into ' the solitude of their retired valley . In a few minutes the stranger jstood before them , and delivered a letter from Debreczin . The master of the house introduced him as a friend aud patriot , adding that he was the bearer of papers of great importance , which had to be conveyed to Vienna , and forwarded from thence to Teleki at Paris . ; ' The
ladies were requested , to do all in their power to assist him . . Half the . night was passed in taking counsel together and relating , occurrences .. The young man , who was here first informed of the execution of Itazag , his friend and tutor , took a " solemn oath to avenge his death . - His passionate spirit , which might . endanger the enterprise , the difficulty ofreaching Vienna at that time , when - the frontier and the line of the Waag were doubly watched , together with the importance of the mission , inspired the two ladies with the adventurous idea of undertaking
the journey , and executing the commission themselves . The scruples c of their guest were removed by the force of circumstances : . the same night he returned , and at an early hour the following . niorhihg these two delicate ladies set out on foot , clad as peasant-women , on their wayto - Pressburg . - Two days and three nights lasted this -wearisome , journey , which at other times , with their fine horses , they -would have accomplished in . a few . hours .. -Frequently they hai to climb steep mountain paths , to avoid the piquet of an Austrian outpost ; and when , exhausted by fatigue , they reached the spot where
they had expected to find an open path , they descried in the distance a horse patrol of the enemy , and had to crouch down half the nig ht in a thicket almost dead with fatigue , tormented with , hunger , in nervous dread of discovery , shivering- on the damp ground in the forests—two noble , rich , proud ladies of Hungary . One moment was the most dreadful of all . They had , in the darkness of night , entered the border of a thicket , without- observing a post of the enemy which was on watch there . Suddenly they hear , not far off , a voice— ' Who goes there ? ' then ajrain . and yet a third time . In alarm thev retreat behind some trees— -a flush startles them
at scarcely fifty paces distance—a shot—a rustling in the branches—the whistling , of a musket ballthen cries , exclamations , the steps of men close to them . The younger countess had sunk fainting on the ground ; and herslster , whobelieved her struck dead , fell on her knees in despair beside her . ' To this circumstance they owed their safety ; the low bushes between the slender stems of the trees con-: cenJed them from the observation of the soldiers in search , who with lanterns were scouring the thicket and tiring at random . It was not until after an hour of unspeakable anguish that the sisters recovered strength to steal back again . ' The following evening they reached Pressburg in safety ,
and -were there concealed by a female friend , who sympathised with them . * * , The following night they slept in Vienna , in the apartment of a student , to whom they had been referred from Pressburg . The young man . happy in being able to shelter two of the noblest ladies of his country , took charge of their despatches , and , like a faithful guardian , slept through the night outside the door ol their room . The despatches were written in ' the language of the country , provided with-the' great seal of the government , and destined to ^ be transmitted to the Ministers of Prance and England . These noble ladies journeyed by Odenburg . back to their quiet valley on the Waag , where they re ? ruained until the conclusion of the war .
Ivor were they only the inferior agents , of the statesman who found , themselves in these romantic and perilous positions . The reader will remember that when Prince Wifidichgratz arrived in Pesth , few persons in England expected the Magyar struggle to be renewed . Of the west of Hungary , Comorn only held out ; and the agents of Vienna , almost persuaded the commander ; of that fortress to surrender on the ground that . the war . was ended . It was thought impossible
for Kossuth to communicate with the garrison ; but as soon as the armies began their movements from Debreczin , he appointed our countryman , General Guyon , to the command , with orders to get to his post in the best way he could . An absurd story was told at the time in all the German and English newspapers , to the effect , that at the " head of a dozen hussars , he fought his way through all the beleaguering armies of Austria . The real facts are given by M . Schlesinger as follows : —
A dirty-looking Jew , in a torn shabby coat , an old hnt , and with uncombed hair , is seen wandering up and down one street after another at Baja , and inquiring for a cheap conveyance to carry him to Bonyhnd . The Jew ,, according to ancient custom , wears ostentatiously over his coat a jacket , yellowed with age : at his back he carries a box containing matches , needles , and shoe-blacking—the portable booth out of which he bas to get his livelihood ; and whose contents , he offers for sale to the passers-by with greedy importunity . One man snubs Lim and buys a pennyworth of some article ; a second purchases nothing , but takes the liberty of bestowing on him some abusive epithet ; the village boys , just
broken loose from school , where they have been reading of the sufferings and meekness of Christ , venttheir wrath on the accursed race by pelting the unhappy Jew with dirt : nay . even the dogs in the street seem to know the Paria , and run barking round him . Last of all , a troop of Croat soldiers , reeling out of a tavern , plunder bis store of blacking , and in their drunken wantonness fall to blackening the feet of St . IJepomuL' , ; who stands under the two white poplars . Fortunately a clergyman , chancing to pass that way , takes the poor pedlar to his vicarage , to shelter him from ill-treatment . The name of this kind Samaritan wc know not , but we remember the name of the Jew—it has an
outlandish sound—Guyon de Gey , Baron of Pamplun . The high-born Briton had adopted this disguise not without reason . The pedlar has at all times the privilege of roving through field and forest , village and town ; and of all the various languages spoken between the Leytha and the Maros , Guyon . was acquainted with none except the dialect of the Polish Jews . He was a perfect master of this language , in which respect , as well as in personal bravery , he had no equal among the Austrian officers except Count Schlik . This General g ained his knowledge of orenlal languages from his long residence in Gnlicin , where intercourse with tho Jews is as indespensable to existence as the air to breathing . Probabl y Guyon likewise , during Ins service in tho
Imperial aimy , had been in garrison there long enough to be able now to try bis band in tho character of a Jewish pedlar . How fiir Guyon tra veiled about in this disguise , remains a secret with himself but the skill and success with which ho acted his part are proved by his safo arrival at Comorn . Tho story of his having , with twelve Hussars , fought his way through the midst of the investing corps of the enein v , is a mere fable . People are never at a loss wficn itventiiig marvellous stones of their favourite heroes , and there was no enterpnze of danger and heroism which the Hussars 3 mdyto att « bute to Guvon , .

b . f the general enthusiasm of the country and the in . creased strengtirof the Magyar army , of Gorgey , Bern , and ? ossutb , restored the confidence of the pfficersm the garrison , L \ From this scene we pass towards the mournful conclusion of these high Lopes and heroic efforts . The overpowering forces of Eussia have succeeded—Gorgey has g iven up to despair the last hopes of Hungary—the hangman Haynau , is at his work . — r On the 6 th of October thirteen generals and . staff officers were executed ; ?; Four of these heroic men met their end . at daybreak ; -tho commutation of their sentence to '' powder and lead" ( exempting ... .
them from the anguish of witnessing the death of their companions-in-arms . Amongst the , rest was Ernest Kiss . _ His brother had become insane after Gorgey ' s treachery ; his cousin had fallen , a second Leonidas , in the defence of the Rqthenthurm-Pass ; he himself , the . richest landed proprietor , in the Banat , whose hospitable castle was all the year round filled with Austrian cavaliers and officers , was on the 6 th of October sentenced to death by the Austrian court-martial , on which sat many of the former partakers of his hospitality . His friends at Vienna had interceded to . save his life , but in vain . He died a painful death ; the Austrian soldiers who were ordered to . carry . the sentence into effect , and
who for a whole year had faced the fire of the Hungarian artillery , trembled before their defenceless victim : three separate volleys were fired . before Kiss fell—his . death struggles lasted full ten minutes . Thoreport of the firing . was heard in . the castle , were those officers sentenced to be hung were preparing for death . Poltenb ' er £ had been in a profound sleep ,, and startled , as he told the Austrian officer , by the first volley ) he had ' jumped out of bed . The ' unhappy man had been dreaming that he ' was in the . face of the enemy , and heard the firing of alarm signals at his outposts : —it was the summons from the grave . At six o ' clock in the morning , the condemned officers were led to the
place of execution . Old Aulich died first : he was the most advanced in years , and the court-martial seemed thus to respect tho natural privilege of age ; Distinguished by his zeal and efforts in the cause of his country * more than by the success , which attended them , Aulich was inferior to many of his comrades in point of talent ; but in uprightness and strength of character , none surpassed him . Count Leiningen was the third in succession , and the youngest . An opportunity had been offered him late on the preceding evening of escaping by flight ; but be would not separate his fate from that of his brother-in-law , who was a prisoner in the fortress .. His youth , perhaps , inspired him
with a desire of giving to his elder companions in sorrow around him an ; examplo of heroic stoicism in , death ; and , on reaching the place of execution , he exclaimed , with melancholy humour , ' They ought at least to have "treated . " us to a breakfast ! ' One of the guard of soldiers compassionately handed him his wine-flask . « Thank you , my friend , ' said the young general , ! I want no wine to give me courage , —bring me a glass of water . ' . * He then ... wrote : on his , knee with a pencil the following . farewell words : to his brother-inlaw , ' The shots which this morning laid my poor comrades low still resound in my cars , and before me hangs the body of Aulich on the gallows . . In
this solemn moment when I must-prepare to appear before my Creator , I once more protest against-the charges of cruelty at the taking of Buda , which an infamous slanderer has raised against me . On the contrary , I have , on all occasions , protected the Austrian prisoners . I commend to you my poor Liska , and my two children .. I die for a cause which always appeared to me just and holy ; If in happier days my friends ever desire to avenge my death , let them reflect , that humanity is the best political wisdom . As for" ** here the hangman interrupted him : it was time to die . Torok , Lahner , Poltenberg , Nagy , Sandor , Knezich , died one after the other . , Vecsey was the last ; perhaps they wished by this nine-fold aggravation of his
torments , to ; make him suffer for the destruction caused by-his cannon at Temesvar . Damianioh preceded . him . The usual dark colour of his large features was heightened by . rage and impatience . His view had never extended further than the glittering point of his heavy sabre ; this was the star whichhe had followed throu ' gbout life ; but now he saw whither it had conducted him , and impatiently he . exclaimed , when limping up to the gallows ; Why is that I , who . have always been foremost to face the enemy ' s fire , must here be the last f The deliberate slowness of the work of butchery seemed to disconcert him more than the approach of death , which he had defied in a hundred battles . This terrible scene lasted from six until nine o ' clock . "
A good deal of space , is . given by M . Schlesinger to . a developement of the characters of the good genius and the evil one of the struggles—Kossuth and Gdrgey . Count Pulszky also furnishes a separate biography-of the general . Their estimates , taken from entirely diflferent points of view , are not incompatible . They both acquit hiin of the charge of having sold his country for gold . They cannot forget that he is an Hungarian . They attribute his'treachery simply to the envy of Kossuth . ; a passion which they think became powerful enough to induce him to disregard his own fair fanie , his country ' s rights , arid the lives
of his companions iii-glory , to the "prompting ? of a remorseless vanity . - He . would not : be second to the man whom history will pronounce to be immeasurably his superior . This view of his character and case we find it difficult to adopt . While Poltenberg , ( who loved him ) and Damianich and Vecsey lie in dishonoured graves , —and while Kossuth , who raised him from an obscure- position to the highest rank , languishes in a foreign prison ; — he lives , a guest , on the Austrian soil , and is rewarded with a pension by the Viennese government ! This fact involves the . w hole moral of his story . . '; ..-:. ¦
Hungary and Europe have pronounced upon these two men . -Kossuth in a dungeon is still a power ; the hearts - and-the hopes of his countrymen are still with = him in his exile . Should events lead to fresh changes in the east , says M . Schlesinger , " Kossuth will re-enter his country , hailed with a welcoiho such as no man on earth has ever received from a nation . "
Egeria, Or The Spirit Of"Nature: And Oth...
Egeria , or the Spirit of " Nature : and other Poems . By Chari . es Mackay . London : Bogue . 1850 . In a well-written prefatory essay , Dr . Mackay comhats the dogma that modern . science and material prosperity have killed poetry . Of the first he says , M Science is the ' nursing mother of poetry , who shows it whither to fly , and to what glorious regions to turn in search of new inspiration . " . Even TJtilitananism , in its widest seiise , as he contends , "by . uo means excludes the . ornamental , " and at once acknowledges , and satisfies lhe ; cravings of the mind and fancy , as well as tHoso . of the body .
The question ,. after all , is to he ; settled by example rather than precept . " There , are wellknown ; . harmonies in our . present author's former works , worthily companioned by . some few in this new volume , which have done more to settle in the affirmative the existence " of a real poetic spirit in the heart of this nineteenth century than could he accomplished by reams of argument .. But while conceding the perennial existence of poetry , and its infinite adaptability to every form and . habitude of associated humanity , we may reserve a doubt \ yhetiher certain embodiments of the poetic element are riot unfitted for certain eras of . social and
national existence .. . Like nian himself ,, though careering round a longer- cycle , successive developements of civilisation pass through their periods of youth , of vigour , and of decay , and require to have the food for their fancy changed quite as much as . the exercises for their strength , ' or the checks for their eccentricities . ' ' These are not times for the longer and statelier , developements of poetry .. The atmosphere is too pertui-bed—readers .. too busj- —the spirit of combativeness too general . Turning , however , from . these speculations to tho volume before us , we find Dr .: Mackay confessing , in fact , whatever theory . he may urge , that the new era is not ' grown beyond
the age of ballad-singing . Glorious ballads , moreover , are thoso ho has given ua , here and heretofore . Earnest in purpose , striving , healthy . in tone , breathing energy and enduranee in every cadence , his brief poems are true inspiration , spoken by . a soor who knows the existing spirit and wants of , humanity . And mingled with these sterner . notes are the tones of tenderer passions , and tho affluence of natural beau ties and liar ; monies , which teach use that ribw . ' as in Paradise of old , love is the help-meete ' st for strength . ' But ^ v ? have not now to tell , or our readers to hear ,. for the first time of the characteristics ' of Dr . Mackay s muse , Suffice it to say , that they will not be

The opening article oa the ; " Lakes of Killarney , " appears to be all' that is needed in the way of a hand-book for intending visitors to that most beautiful of Irish scenery ; and at this holiday . season , when all iwho have a little time , and money to spare , lare turning their backs upon crowded towns ; in search of fresh air , change of sceney and health , such a cheerful communicative . guide as . the editor , at a cheap price , ought to be duly appreciated .

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . .. A new mode of propulsion is daily demonstrated at '„ tho . above-named establishment . ^ ; which , under this title of the Nova Motive , consists of a . series of carriages travelling along , with their . own motion , in the form of a tube , which is flexible and airtight . This tube has a series of , slide valves , entirely under the care of a guard , who , ; by levcrsy has perfect control over his train . Along the whole lino of railway is laid a pipe , ihconnexiori with which a series of pistons are fixed between the rails intended to receive the tube above mentioned in its passage : In thCWpistons , aroatsiospheric valves , opening
, into the fixed pipe , which is always kept exhausted , so that when the train passes over the ' pistons the elide valves in the tube are opened byjineans of inclined planes communicating with other levers , which levers are-raised upon the . train , passing . The atmosphere existing in the tube , consequently rushes from the tube to supply the vacuum , arid the train isimpelled by external atmospheric , pressure . The inventor . ' Mi ' . Weston , with several other practical mechanics , formed into : a society called the "Inventors' Protection Society , '' has executed the illustration of a system by which the inventor states that a great saving may be accomplished . :

California , If oven they were to make 5 , 000 dollars here ! No ono likes this country ; allcome-with the intention of i making money and going home again ; very-few intend to settle , for it will never be an agricultural country , except on : the i banks of the . prinoipal rivers ; The style of dress is pretty much the same all over , the country ;; , . red flannel shirts ;; belt with knife- and pistols , and mining boots pulled , over tho trowsers

Thereupon the mayor , a shrewd peasant , solemnly ordered all' the geese to be place in car's , some little distance from the village . . The villagers wondered greatly what " this could mem , and ventured ; tu mutter suspicion of the mayor ' s , wisdom and . probity , but the . functionary took no ^ nqticeof these remarks and-stalked solemnly off with the carts ,, Arrived at the spot he had : indicated , he cried to the drivers to '• Stop !' - arid . then , with great dignity , added ,.
