      An Authentic. Report Of The Trial Of Dr ...

      AN AUTHENTIC . REPORT OF THE TRIAL OF DR PETER MURRAY M'DOUALL at Liver-7001 ., on MokdaTi _Avqust 2 Sth , 1848 . London i J . ( _fatson , Qaeen _' i Head-passage , Paternosterrow . Manchester : A . Hey wood , Oldham-street , The mala facts of Dr _MDouaU's trial are well known to onr readers , but the report given In this journal was necessaril y brief ; a fall and authentic -report will therefore he welcomed by thousands who admire the Doctor , and sympathise with him and his family in their present affliction . This pamphlet contains upwards of forty pages ( small octavo ) of

      closely printed matter , giving in detail the cross- J _^ lamina tion ef the witnesses for the prosecution ; the admirable and eloquent speech of Mr Sergeant "Wilkins ; the reply for the Crown ; the Judge ' s « _unmiing np , and the harsh . speecVdeh \ ered from 4 bench , ' which preceded the still harsher sentence . When we add that the profits of this publication , if any , will be applied to the support of Mrs M'Douall and her children , we have , we trust , said sufficient to induce our readers to expend the trifling sum offourpence in the purchase of this memorial of the Whig persecution of Chartism in 1848 .

      Too mnch praise cannot be awarded to Mr Boberts , Dr M'Donall ' _s attorney , for the trouble he lias taken in superintending the publication of this * Report . ' We trust that the philanthropic object in -new , that of obtaining _pecuniary assistance for Dr M'Donall ' s wife and children , will he attained hy an extensive sale of this pamphlet .

      _THE LABOURER- Edited hy F . O ' Connor , Esq ., M . P . October . London : Northern Star Office , and J . Watson , _^ Qaeen ' _a Head-passage , Pater noster-row . Two contributions by Ernest Jones are contained in this number of the Labourer ; one an article on German Literature , the other a portion of a' romantic drama / continued from a former number . * Mirahean , ' the great French orator is the subject of j an essay , which haa no fanlt save its brevity . The Murdered Trooper * is a story of life in an Irish _sheeoeen , * to be continued . ' The most interesting of the contents of this number is an account of The _Mezzeria System of Tuscany . ' This account is chiefly taken from a report by Dr Bowring on the statistics of Tuscany , Lucca , & c .

      m _-axzsau sxstzx -nay be _brfioy described asaa _apportionmeatof the land into poderi or small _aepsrate estates , which are ealtU -rated by a class called _eoniodtttf . on the principle of an xecax ihvkiw of tbs whom - * b » _-jci bbtwzkh lahd-ZOU > 4 K > _TS 5 AWX—IM _USTDIOI _*) MDWG TXE SOU , 1 K > _csrrrii . asm thk _txsajtt orvrsa -ns _rosous . I * o _wsirrxn oontract exist * between landlord aad tenant . It is in fore * for one year only ; tht proprietor tnsy exchange hit cultivator every year at a fixed period , iut a good tenant generally holds the estate from _geneasxtaa to _gsnwstton .

      In tbe partnership the proprietor supplies aU tbe capital , and the cultivator the labour aad _ntensilt . Tbe fxonrt ara equally divided between them , even as regards _theprofitt arising from tbe sale of cattle ; the cultivator It only obliged to supply the labour required in tbe ordinary cultivation ; shonld tbs proprietor be desirous of making new plantations or to reclaim watte lands , the expense falls solely on him , and he is obliged ta pay the cultivator wages for extra work , and alto to keep ap his j new _adventnret at bis own expense , should their produce _proTS intoffiolent . The seed for sowing la also supplied at joint exptnse , tbat required for the support of the _coMSratoT tbe _pTontieAot te tn gcamU txnmo . to tupplj tin with ; should be not do so , a good labourer would _quit hia employ , wbich would be the worst thing that could happen , for the system depends solely on good fsith , and a good labourer It indispensable to the wellbeing of the landlord .

      Under this system , Tuscany is highly cultivated . The produce , however , mnch to the regret ef the exporting economist , is mainly consumed in the home market . M . Ridoli _, in an article in the Ciornale Jgrieob , says : — 'Onr mott argent nteetrity Is leu an increased pro 4 uce than a mode of turning It to account . What is -ranting to our agriculture are those subsidiary undertakings which give Increased Talaa to productions and render them nsrketahle . We possets a _prodlglout quantity of wine , generaflj ti * a tolerable quality , but to lender It fit for exportation has never yet been deemed an objeot of MP Mt ~ ' - The sole purpose with ns hat

      been to reade ** it suitable for oar home consumption _, f How aSietag . l Everything Is sold mt tbe earliest moment [ we suppose , therefore , in tbe best condition for « e ] and at the nearest market , for ' . the consumption of tha immediate vicini ty in which it It produced ; the Ideas _« f the cultivator go not tether . [ Unhappy , ignorant , well-fed eoltivator . 3 Bven oil it not exactly regarded as an artiole for exportation . Thlt situation of onrproductiont is owing to the system of Leopold I ., whieh sought to reader _Toseany as one family , self-dependent [ what an ignorant blockhead , bad political economist , and worse sore-sign , this Leopold L most have been ] , and its _consetueneet are traceable ia onr manHera and customs . '

      H . Bidolfi proceeds still farther with hit Iameatatieni ever tha general adoption of the erroneous Silf-f uffidng -principle , whkh ha sorrowfully , if not angrily , declaret pervades everything . ' The cause of these lamentations , _aowever , peeps out in tte following little sentence *—4 The remit of all this it , that ont of tbe very _ltrje gross _rodnce tbe net revenue to the Tuscan proprietor it most miserable . Ia other words , this boms _tjttem . and home market ensures to tha labourer an abradant participation in the fruits of bis toil , distributes wealth _equitably among the population , and prevents the formation aad growth of these startling meastUtle * of condition which _oonstltute the mott dangerous symptom of the present state of society in this country . That ttate it produced « _nttreiybja- _^* tem based ca the _vriac-ples espoused by If . Bidolfi , who looks npon wealth rather at a thing for marketable exchanges , than the means of affording subsistence and enjoyment to the producer in the first in . stanceand then to tbegeneral community _.

      , By way of shewing tha actual results of this' erroneous aelf-sniScing principle , ' let ns take It . Bidoifi'a own _atatement of the condition of tbe Tuscan peasantry _ ' _Begardiag man as aa instrument of labour , our agriculture it costly in tht extreme , but under any other system man woald do leu aad cost more . The cultivator it always oa the spo t , alwaya careful , his constant thought it—tbit field it my own . He works for hit owa advantage , not at a mercenary , nor as a slave , nor a machina ; bis loss of time it the ltattpossible , at be hat tbe distribution of hit henn and oboosei bit _opportunities ; while proceeding to hit field he pullt up the weeds , he gathers together the [ _-a-urere whieh may have fallen en the roads , which coatribntet to the increase of his dunghill . The araonat ef labour bestowed by the cultivator would prove too costly to tbe proprietor if obliged to pay for It ; it would not answer hit _purpese . Itis always ruinous in Tuscany to cultivate land by day labourers .

      On the other hand , if the labourer were to be paid bis wagis in m : nsy , they wonld be inadequate to his support . Voder the existing system , if hit profits are small they are direct ; and , In the shape of produce , his household wants are fully and completely supplied , and at no expease . It is oot possible for the cultivators to make a rapid fortune , but the better' class of them possess thtir lif . le capital in money . T he _marriaga portions they giro tseir daughters is a proof of this ; these are considerable and always _iBCreating , It is true the landlord frequently _assis's ; and not only tbe head of the family , bnt the other members also , both girls end boys , to whom they leave slight bequests by way of dowry , or who inter into small speculation ! , have all a little stock of meney laid by . It it , I collider , the great and only advantage of Tuscan economy , that it ensures tke subsistence of a large number of labourers , and ensures tbla in a mode independent of men and _eveata , and free from the vicissitudes of commerce and the _uncertaintlet of trade or of ruinous

      c hanges , We agree with the writer in the Labourer that some such principle and modeofapplyiogthenational labour and capital is becoming every day more nrgent in this conntry . Onr great manufacturing and rommercial system is braking down on aB hands , and the swarming myriads of labourers who now depend npon it for subsistence must be pro-Tided for in some other way . If some such compromise as the Mezzeria system is not adopted , a more radical change will become inevitable . ' Free Trade' has proved an utter failure ; and Social Reform can alone stare off Social _Betolution .

      Simmonds a Colonial Magazine . October *—Loudon . Simmoads and Co ., _Barge-yard , Bucklersbary . Statistics showing the ' progress and prospects of « South Anstralia _/ _'New Brunswick , ' - Malacca / 'Van Diemen ' s Land , ' and' Canada , ' make np a large por . tion ef this month ' s Colonial Magazine . ¦ ' Suggestions for improvements in the manufacture of sugar , ' may be studied with advantage by a large number of the readers of this publication . 'The present condition ofthe British West India Colonies' is discussed at considerable length , and with much ability , in more than one article . The editor contributes another able and stinging exposure of the Vancouver ' s Island jot . Ceylon , which , owing to an insurrection of the oppressively taxed and badly-governed natives , is at present exciting considerable interest , is represented in this magazine by one

      ' Isaac Tomkins , who administers a smart philippic to the Bight Hon . Earl Grey , on the ruiniwrought among the planters by the operation of the blessed _free-tnde system . Though pressed for room we mnst give a specimen or two of Isaac ' s denunciations of the Manchester schemers . He commences by telling his lordship' tbat although not very good at a ' _speech , he can tell a plain , unvarnished tale with pen , ink , and paper . He then proceeds to tell , how that seven years ago , ' smitten with the prospects of coffee , ' he left England for Ceylon ; converted his three per cents , into 300 acres of the best forest land at £ b the acre , and started planter with a fair prospect of making a fortune . Things progressed very well tor two or three years , when , lo I the Free-traders obtained ascendanriy in the councils of the state , and—behold the result described by Isaac Tomkins

      *—I would that tome ef the Manchester politicians conld aee a few of the estates abont hare ; tbe _bnheslowt , with their broken doors and-windows ; the onee neatl y _, trimmed rote-hedges smothered , like the former hopes of tbe proprietor , with rank weedt ; the paths over grown with grass ; the little flower garden , that tha wife wat once to fond of , trampled down by buffJoet ; the jettamise arbour , ia wbich the planter had so often tat playing with hit children , half torn down , half-hidden by jangle , the resort of wild animals . And where it the plaster-proprietor and bis family ! He It getting jangle fever snd £ 5 a month , on an unhealthy , bat paying et . tate ; hit wife and family live , or rather exist , oa thecharlty of _frieBdt ; for fortunately , my Xord , we have tome fr iends oat _Atre—there are no Uaneheiter _msnufaoturert In _Ceylon .

      Burns surely predicted the fate of the Ceylon planters , so pathetically described by Isaac Tom . kins , when he wrote ( begging the poet ' s pardon for a trifling liberty we have taken with what he did write ) : — * Our eofee flourith'd fresh and fair , And _bonnie _bloom'd Our _roiet * Bat Whigs oame like a frost in Ja . ua , And witherM a * our poriet . ' Isaac Tomkins , proceeding with his address to Earl Grey , says : —

      I know very well what yonr political economy frisnd " will say to our complaints of not being able to grow coffee to compete with more favoured countries ; they will read whole chapters of figures from Porter , and quote M'Colloch by the yard , to prove that , if we can ' t grow coffee to a profit , the _ttoner we try and grow eome tfaiog else that will pay , the better . It it a pity wo were not told this in 1811 , when we paid government £ 5 an acreforland ! It It mnch to be feared that tha only thing we are likely to grow , will be to grow' discontented , ' and this wUl be followed by a little mors neglect , and a little mora discontent . Desperate men do desperate things , Cesar liked not hungry men ; he thought them dasge rout ; he preferred ' Sleek headed mea and such at altep o' nights . '

      Men have not altered _mtch daring the latt two thousand sears . English human naturo it much tbe tame tort of thing as Roman human nature . Hy Lord , I woald have yoa beware ef _halfttarved colonists !

      ' Tond' planters have a lean and hungry look , They think too muoh ; saoh men are dangerous . ' From what I have already _tald yon can see that I have avoided anything like discussion of polities or political economy ; I confess I have not studied these _tciencet much , bnt I have studied common tents , common honesty anitommonpltM facts . I feel myself _uatqua ! to cope with tbo coldblooded Manchester politicals— -I conld not reply , perhaps , to a single one of the many plausible leaders in the Seasonal , bnt then I do not mean to sty

      tbat I am opposed to their theories . At far aa I can tee of the matter , universal _/«« trade appears a very good sort of thing In its way ; so , sty Lord , la universal peace and the _miilenium . But I cannot tee how they are at presentpra « _rtaaW «; this , no donbt , arises frera my _beeloudtd brain—from a ten years' residence within ths tropics , but to it it . Thlt , however , I do _nnderttaad , that before we are told to compete with all tht world , we should be placed in a position to enable at to do to , or it will not Toe free trade .

      Free trade has certainly cheapened coffee ; bnt , then , free trade has also had much to do with bringing the unemployed thousands to that condition which leaves them no means to purchase coffee , cheap or dear . Isaac , warming with his subject , and , as a Yankee would say , gitting his dander np , ' proceeds to insist v [ Mn gv _^ and cheap government as au essential , wanting which free trade will utterly destroy Ceylon ,

      Hear the irreverehd revolutionist : — 'One hundred and ten thousand pounds is over mnch to pay for red cloth , geld lace and feathers , with two bands of indifferent music ; this won ' t do unthplantationcofet at 37 * . and 45 s . / We mnst send home the general and staff and oneof the bands of music , and a Uttleof the gold-lace and feathers !

      The Ethnological Journal. Edited By Ltje...

      The Ethnological Journal . Edited by _Ltjek Burke . October . London : H . Hardwicke , 14 , Clement ' slane , Strand . Tbe commencement of 'A Structural Analysis of tbe Book of Genesis' occupies some thirty pages of this number of the Ethnological Journal . Mr Burke bas undertaken this analysis for the purpose of showing that the book of Genesis is composed t ) f three separate documents , each giving a distinct version of the « Creation , '« Fall , ' and « Deluge . ' We are hound to say , after a hasty perusal of this article , tbat Mr Burke appears to have succeeded in what he terms' an attempt to dis' . inguish , ' & c . ; and

      we also feel bound to express onr admiration of that gentleman ' s industry and extraordinary critical talent . But , being unable to see with him that « this subject involves questions of high _importaneeto human welfare ; ' on the contrary , being of opinion that it matters not the worth of a straw to living man and woman , whether the book of Genesis is composed of three , or thirty—of one , or one hundred documents—we must express our regret to see sa much time and talent thrown away on such a subject . We dare say that some of Mr Burke ' s readers rather accord with his than with our views ; and these who do so will find tbat gentleman ' s analysis of Genesis well worthy their attention .

      The * Outlines of the Fundamental Principles of Ethnology' contain much valuable information , and afford the reader endless food for reflection . * The Origin of Nations , ' being a second article on the subject , contains many carious speculations . Here is one *—

      TBE _ASCIEKT 1 S 18 H . The Irish fondly cling to tbe belief tbat tbey are descended from a _Spanish stock—a notion that bat very often been ridiculed . Nevertheless , I am persuaded of its _ttnth . There waa at the very earliest periods of history a nation called Iberi or Iberni , and Iemi in the South of Ireland . From Iberni we obtain Hlbnnla , and from _Iernl clearly comes Erin , and the modern Ireland . There were some other minor tribes in Ireland , evidently of Spanish descent . The traditions of tha Irish respecting their Spanish blood are all referable to these iberi , whe _wtre probabl y driven cut of Spain by the iocurslons of the Kelts or other _raots , aBd _songbt refuge in Ireland , They mnst at tbat time have const ' _, tnted tbe great bulk of its inhabitants , since all Is natural appellations bave been derived from them , and hence tbe universality and positiveaess ofthe tradition ,

This number completes the first volume of the Republican . ¦ Oa the whole the writers in this publication have well acquitted themselves and deserve support in the future . The editor deserves a word of special commendation for his admirable articles on' Taxation . ' The present number contains in addition to articles by the , editor , W . J . Linton , and Eugene , * an Answer of the Polish Democratic Society to certain unjust reproaches and false accusations levelled at the Poles by Lamartine , and which answer exhibits the poetical phrase-monger in the not much to be envied light of a calumniator of the brave men whose « holy cause' he had previously betrayed .

      Fatal Accidxkt .—A, Fatal Acoident Octon...

      Fatal Accidxkt . —a , fatal acoident _octoned on Hon . day afternoon , at the Rochdale station ofthe Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway , nnder the following circumstances : —It appears that a pilot engine leaves Wakefield for Rochdale several times per week , for the purpose of calling at the varioas stations on the line , to leave and tike what luggage may be there . At half-past three o ' clock , on Monday afternoon , the pilot engine was at the _Rtthdala station . There was a bolster on one of the waggont , containing a Urge tree ; and tbe guard , J , Walker , wat coupling two waggont , or trucks , together ; when they met the bolster gave way , and the timber went right against hit head and killed him . He wat taken to the Railway Inn or hotel , to await the coroner ' s _Im-nut . The nnfertnnate man wat _tweaty-flvo yeart of age , and wat married .

      FiTAlAcCrDXKT ON THI LlVIRrOOL 4 » D _BotT _RllL _« wsx . —On Saturday last , an accident , which hat since proved fatal , occurred on the Liverpool and Bury line , near tbe rice course at Alntree . A labourer named D'ris _Waterton , forty-two yeart of age , wat filling _waggont with earth . When they were fall , he wat in the aot of getting on one of them , when the engine that wat to drive them _tnddenly started ; the consequence was tbat the waggons behind dashed against him , and he was badly _crothtd . Tbe wretched man wat at onoe removed to the infirmary , where he died of compound fracture ot the leg . The medical man amputated the lamb , but it

      wat of ao avail , although it _appeared that hit constitution was perfeotly sound . The inquest was held on Wednetday , and wat aboat to be adjourned , in order to afford time for the bringing ef witnesses forward to show that ao blame waa attributable tothe engineers , but one of the jury observed thathe wat a maritime man , and that he wat to proceed to tea to-morrow , ' Perhaps a _thort ' passage / obterved tke deputy coton . tr { Vx Statbnm ) ' ho w far are yoa going f' ' I am going , ' taid the man , ' toNew Orleans . ' 'Had I known that / obterved Hr Statbam , ' yon should not have been on the jury . '—The inquest was then adjourned .

      _DisinssANCzs bt _IsisBVCir , —On Tnesday evening a number of Irish labourers , _amounting to about a dozen or fifteen , assembled at one of the Inns In the village of Great Crosby , near Liverpool ; they had been employed by a fanner in the vicinity to dig potatoes , but resolved to ' _strlko' for higher wages . A proposition to this ( Seat being made to the farmer , it was ol course re . _jscted , and Paddy , In a fit of desperation , attacked tbe inhabitants of the village of Great Crosby , where only two policemen wero stationed—a sergeant and a constable . The Irishmen having multiplied ia numbers to mora than twenty , all well-aimed , the ohances were decidedly in favour of the peace-breakers .

      THE WAB IN HUNGARY . We wire misled by the Prtm Into announcing , In oar last number , tbe conquest of Hangar / by tbe Bun of Clvatla .

Const Laments ; , appointed by the _Auttrlan government as commander of the Hun garian forces , _denonnotd by the people at a traitor , wat _massaortd by the people . On tbt 28 ib , the Hungarian Diet unanimously _ptistd a _rtsolutlon , to tht efftot that , In tbe absence of a _govwnmtnt , il deotid , at a provisional one , tht committet of six who were appointed a fortnight before to aid _Bsthyani in war _malters—snoh oommlltte to have unlimited and full powers .

      instantly cut down by a number of men armed with _ipadet and soytbee . He was then literally backed and hewed to _pleoci . He has lefts widow ( _anatlva of Hungary ) and eight children . In another account it it stated tbat tht Count first ptobttdei to Buds , and tbat it was whilst making tht second attempt to croti the bridge , in order to communtoatt with tbt Diet , tbat be wis killed In tht manner described . It may be listed here that the National Guards had previously resolved not to obey tbe royal commissioner and that the Diet Itself had de . _nooactd at a traitor any person who should attempt to give publicity to any royal circulars not _dulycenntersigned by _mlnltttrs .

      Tht Ban of Croatia hat _beenappolottd by tbe Emperor , Commander In Chief In Hungary , and of all tbe Imperial _troopi in that oountry . —Gazette deBreslau , Oot . 4 th . _OKHAT Or THB USX OF CROATIA UT THI HUKOARUN 8 . _Yismna , Oct 8 rd . —The following bulletin hat b . en pablished _to-dsy : — 'Onthe 2 »; hSept . the right wing of _Jelltchtchwat repulsed , and 80 S Croats tbraW themselves Into a marib . The left wing of Jelltohtoh now advanced , and viotory wat doubtful . At tbit time 13 , 000 _peatantt and National _GuwJi , led by a noble Magyar , attacked tba enemy In the rtar , and the Croats , attacked on both tides , lost tomt thousand ! of nun . The loss of the Haagariiii wit also considerable . _Jellaebioh was driven kaok with kit army to the Lske ot PtatUrn , Tht _Hungtrlant took Count Z'oby prisoner , and upon bim were found _somi letters from tha baron , tn which the latter invites him to enlist tbe Hungarian soldiers . The _universal cry of' Death to the traitor ' . arose , and the Count Z ' ehy wm hung .

      The Potbzz _Zsitdhq and ether journals _oonfirmtht above account . The following intelligence it _gltaaed from various quarters . A Huagarian _ttndent named _Kolosi , ' was the first to out down with hit tword tbit fugitive eount , while the latter wat oronlng the bridge _faora Bads to Pesth . The Infuriated orowd then forcibly entered the Diet , in order -to- announce the death of the 'traitor , 'All tho papers of Count Lunberg ( Including an imperial order for the dissolution ofthe Diet ) , and a largt sum of money wbich he brought with him , win handed over by tbe populace to the authorities ,

      Tha iateiOeptad letters found on the Count prove that tht Auttrlan Minister of War ptys tht Croatian army with Austrian atomy , that ht bet promised to provide them with provisions from the pnblio magazines , that he has ' sent Austrian _trtillory , guns , and men , to tbt Croatian army , tbatht has encouraged Austrian generals to become traitors to the Hungarian government , to whioh they bad bstn _tubaltttd by law and by oatb . In shor t , tht _Anstfl'B Minister of War wat perfectly ao . qutlnttd with _JoUaohlsh ' i intentions he tupporttd him by all meant In bit power , and , _consequently , mtdt wsr nnder another name _agtinit the Hungarian nation , with whioh tba _Auttrlin legislative assembly wished to be at peso * .

Tbt German bourgeoisie ot Pesth art alto carried away by tha movement , 'and march in arms against Ihe Croats . On the 27 th ult ., a battalion of volunteers left tht _btrraobt ef _Uj-nlet _, followed by a bind of women and ohildren , armtd with sabres and -auikttt _, whom tt was _lmtottlble to keep back , Kossuth scours the plains and sends into Peitb thousands of peasants who are eager for tht fray . _Cztltd and Eetsbemet havt tarnished 16 , 000 men , and Kossuth has promised to bring 10 , 000 .

      LiHBtaa ( PoLiRD ) _, Ootobtr 1 st . —For several _dayt pstt great excitement hat prevailed In tbt garrison of oar town . The Hungarian Rtgimtnt ( Grand Duht Mlohael ) desired to itt oat for Hungary ; he waa . van on the point of doing ic , _whta be heard tbat the Poles of Lembtrg proposed to go to tht attittanct of tbt Hungarians , Tbe commander appeased the soldiers by promising tbat he would tet out on the 6 th . The agitation , however , ttlll _osntlnntd , and a similar entkntlatm for tbe Hungarian _otuio was manifested by the _Hutitrt . Tht Wiener _Zeltunp , of the f > th instant , contains three proclamations of she Emperor of Austria , wbioh mast bring the Hungarian qaestion to a crisis . Tho first of thest proclamations appoints tbe Master of the Ordnance

      and Captain of tbo Hungarian Guards , Baron _Recisy , to tbt post of President of ttit Hungarian Ministry , and oharges bim with the formation of a ne - / Cabinet . Tba second proclamation it addressed to the Hungarian civil sad military authorities , and enjoins the rigorous execution of tbe decrees contained la tbt third _proolsmstlba , whioh Is the most Important of tbe three , for it contains tht nomination ef Baron Jellaohlh , the Ban of Croatia , to the post of Civil aad Military Governor of Hungary , with almost unlimited powers , tbt dissolution ot tbe Hungarian Diet , and tha condemnation of their resolutions , the _proclamatioa of martial law in Hungary , and a command to prostoott and _atrett the _asett'tnt of tht late Count Lamberg .

      The _Breiltmer Ztitung asserts tbit twenty battalions and til batteries of artillery left Vienna on tbe 6 : h instant , to enforea the execution of the Emperor's pro * _elamatloai . Authentic aocounti from Pes'h represent the Magyar population as completely fan & tlo under the Inspiration of KeBSUth , who is hurrying from one plaee to another In order to preach tip a ornsade , sot only against his immediate foes , bat against Austria Proper . That the Croatlans have been defeated ia one , If _Jnot

      two , partial encounters , admits no longer of doubt ; bat by a masterly evolution ( for the furtherance of which , probably , Jellaebioh had sought the short truce which followed the contest on tht 29 th nit . ) the Ban has reached _Wleselburg ( after occupying Ranb ) , whioh is only tomt ten German miles from Vienna , and wbere he has r better obanoe of reoslvlng reinforcements from tbat oapilal than if he were in the vicinity of the PJatten Lake .
