      GENERAL HAYNAU AT BRESCIA . The following account of General Haynau's conduct at Brescia , is taken from General Pepe's narrative : — " On the evening of the 30 th of March , the Germans fortified themselves in their posts ; but the city was still almost intact . The ferocious Haynau raged with impatience , and while expecting the third corps ' of the army , together with strong reinforcements of arlillery , he attempted to storm the city before their arrival . He set fire to the houses outside the city , so that it appeared enveloped in flaines . When the darkness of night was come , the soldiers wore ordered to penetrate over the 'nails and into the house ? , to set fire to them everywhere without mercy , and to employ the most diabolical and infamous means . The light of the fire was seen almost over all Lombardy . It would be impossible to describe the ferocious acts Of the Croats on that last night of Lombard liberty ; the atrocities committed by the most

      barbarous peeple would be mild in comparison . The Brescians then deliberated on the resolution to be taken , and finding that men and ammunition still remained sufficient for another day ' s combat , they determined to defend themselves while hope and a single cartridge remained . On the morning of " the 1 st of April , the city resounded with one fierce cry of " war , " and the Brescians , protected by the barricades , drove the enemy from the posts they bad occupied in the night in consequence of tb ? fire ; and from the Bruttanome in particular , they drove them with such impetus , that the first lines were thrown back , and they were on the point of taking two of the enemy ' s cannon . This ¦ was the last -netory of the Brescians . Fresh artillery and battalions now arrived to Haynan , who made them instantly enter into battle ; and with , such superiority of forces , and such means of devastation , they penetrated into the houses , destroying evervthing that came in their way . "

      The following paragraph , which is literally copied from an authentic pamphlet , I think it due to history to preserve , and recommend to the frequent perusal of the Italians , that they may not forget what they owe to Austria ;—The sight of the horrible deeds committed by the imperialists , whether in drunkenness or by command , or in consequence of their stupidly ferocious natures , was such as to overwhelm the mind and freeze the blood in men ' s ¦ veins : they trere beyond Oie limits of imagination or belief . Not only were they ferocious towards women , children , and the sick , but the tortures they inflicted were refined in such amanner as to show how much the cruelty of man exceeds that of the most ferocious animals . Limbs torn from their victims were flung from the windows and the

      barricades as food for she dogs . The heads of young children cut from their bodias , women ' s arms , and fragments of flesh were thrown into the midst of the Brescian troops , to whom bombs then seemed merciful . Above all , the imperial cannibals delighted in the horrible convulsions of those whom they burnt to death therefore they covered the prisoners with pitch , then set them on fire , and often compelled Ihe women to assist at thei * husbands' martyr , dom . Sometimes , to make game of the noble blood of the Brescians , which boiled with magnanimous wrath , they tightly bound the men . and then , before their eyes , they dishonoured and cut the throats of their wives and children ; and sometimes ( God forgive us if we remember such a horrid fact ) they £ reed them to swallow the mangled entrails of their nearest friends . Many died of anguish , and many fell fainting with horror .

      The populace , whose fury of vengeance was excited to delirium , resolved to be killed on the corpses of their enemies , when some one recalled to their recollection that then were many spie 3 unpunished in the prisons . The most ferocious rushed to the prisons and killed them ; these had almost all been already condemned to death hy tlte judges as felons and murderers . ThemunieipaUty fearing that the peeple , blinded by just rage and grief , should become more cruel , consented that their chief should interpose for peace . Accompanied by his brother , and preceded by a certain Marchesini , one of the people , whom the love of his country inspired with the eloquence Of a Tribune and the courage of a martyr , the

      father of the municipality used every effort to obtain a mild answer from the marshal ; but Ilaynau , silent and implacable , only consented to a suspension of arms during the conference ; and this species of truce , only on the part of the Brescians , was more fatal to them than many days of battle , since the enemies' troops ceased not to commit numerous assassinations . Finally , after two hours , the marshal dismissed the father of ihe munieipaHty with a mitten paper , where , in the midst of harsh words , unsuited to such misfortunes and such bravery , it was stated that the peaceful citizens need fear no hostility . The Brescians resigned themselves to their destiny , expecting to be again treated as enemies and vassals , but sot as slaves pardoned , and returned to their yoke .

      Almost all the citirena yielded to their cruel fate , except a few who had resolutely determined to die fighting , and the marshal took on himself the task of breaking their cruel obduracy . But the imperial soldiers demanded pillage and carnage ; already they had robbed the houses nearest the walls . More than twenty battalions , with cavalry and artillery in proportion , were encamped in the Piazza and in the country round . It was necessary to find food for many persons , and the municipality performed miracles in these circumstances , distributing 15 , 000 nations of bread , wine , and forage . In the night a ray of hope shone on the desolate Brescians . The valorous and intrepid Camezzi , with near 800 men , had hastened from Bergamo to aid the Brescians . They fought desperately , but being informed that tbey -were surrounded by numerous troops , and considering the fatal armistice of Kovara , these bands were dissolved in the midst of itniv ' ersal grief .

      Let the reader imagine the murders , the burning , the pillage , the violence of these frantic soldiers . ^ Neither generals iior officers showed themselves anxious for their . honour and humanity . Colonel Jellachicb , brother of the celebrated Baa , was an exception . Seeing the Church of St . Affra menaced , where many women had taken refuge , he hastened to guard the entrance , and remained there till his men had departed . Some fevr officers who had lodged in Brescia endeavoured to preserve the bouses of then * hosts from pillage . But the ferocious flaynau clearly showed that his mind was turned to vengeance rather than to the government of a brave and unfortunate people . . It is believed that more than a hundred among the best and most intrepid of the citizens were in a few hours dragged to ' the

      castle , bastinadoed , tortured , and finally shot . A fine of 7 , 000 , 000 of livres was imposed on the pro-• vinces , and on the city a special charge of 300 , 000 livres , as a reward for bis , officers . ¦ The command of the city .. wag r iven to Iieut-General Appel , who speedily demanded with threats that the heads of the insurrection' should be given up to him . Slaughter was now ; organised . Women and'children , the / aged th& the ' helpless , were first iwrriWy massacred . We will detail a fewfa ' otsto illustrate the wickedness of the conquerors . The priest Gabetti , a schoolmaster , trusting in the terms of the surrender : ' went outside tbe . waUs to visit his

      cottage , which had been set fire to on the preceding night , and in which his mother lived ; but scarcely had begone out , when he was seized and conducted to Haynan in the castle , where on the following day he was shot as a patriot priest . , A more horrible' martyrdom closed the life of Pietro Tentnrini , a member of the legal profession , and popular among the Bresciaus " : weighed down I » y years and by gout , he was pressed with threats to swear fidelity to the imperial banners ; be boldly threw " himself on the bayonet pointed to his heart , and cursed the enemies of Italy , and lovingly salutirig'his country and liberty , be sought and obtained death . '

      Some iniquitous Croats laid their hands on a poor workman , and deliberated on burning him for their amusement ; as . he was small and deformed , they supposed he could make but little resistance , and would perhaps die in . more , laughable convulsions . Carlo' Ziina possessed' the strength qf a plebeian : when in ; the flame ^' ho seized , on , , one' of his executioners , and held him so firnily that they burned and -died together . ' .. . , , The damage done by war and fire was computed at twelve millions . The conquerors , not content with fines , pillage , the losses byfire , arid other war taxes ; amounting to seven ipfllions and a half , in suited " the n ? ameipality ; by ^ ' sending , them the bills for provisions and powder , ; demanding that the city Should pay these expenses . ^ Moreover , tbey ordered therirto collect money for the erection , of a trium ,-ph ' al monument , on the Piazza , to the soidiers who

      lass ^ Jsr - ^ ffiMK ^ epe ' oZ ^ fataSSS insurrection , though thedestructatanabueoi lUB death of their-compa-Ss wtleS ? heir eyes ; at the risk of th ? ir Urea , they placed the most noted authors of the in surrection in safety out of the city . Haynau and Appel , however vigilant , had only laid hands on those who had taken no part in leading the revolt . This may perhaps have induced the two lieutenant-marshals to institute , in July , the infamous process against twelve of the populace ; when all Italy was prostrate , and four months had elapsed for the first fury of vengeance to be < appeased . They were sentenced to die the death of thieves , and twelve gallows were expressly erected oa the bulwarks of the city , where they wore executed .

      THE PERFIDY OF HAYNAU . . After Haynau had captured and caged the unfortunate Hungarian generals who surrendered at Arad , he suspended all immediate executions , and hastened off to Comoro , to secure the surrender of that fortress , before he gave vent to his thirst for blood . It was immediately communicated to the governer and the garrison of Comorn that . their surrender would appease the Emperor and his general , who , on getting peaceable possession of the fortress , would pardon the Hungarian generals and

      those wh » had surrendered after the example of Georgey . What chiefly prevented the garrison of Comorn from continuing their resistance was , the belief that by so doing they would exasperate or reawaken th& vengeance of the Austrians toward ^ their captives . As to Haynau , he personally assumed the blandest aspect , and looked merey itself . "On the 3 rd of October , " writes Ktapka , "I met General Haynau accidentally on the tete depont on the Danube . He had just come from Atsh to examine tba works and entrenchments in and around

      Comorn . We conversed for a long time , bqt our conversation turned solely on the strength and the natural advantages ot the fortress , and on the battles of the 2 nd and 11 th July . What he said bore the expression of so much humanity , that I was tempted to discover in his features a desire for reconciliation with the conquered . country . No thoughts of revenge seemed to lurk upon his brow . And yet it was he who , showing in this instance and in the course of hia negotiation with our commissioner , a most hypocritical sympathy and affeotion for Hungary , so far belied bis assertion that , but a few days later , he concurred - with his emperor in hanging and butchering the noblest men of the nation , as if they were so many thieves and incendiasies . . : ¦ - . ¦¦

      TOTAL LOSS OF THE INDIAN INDIAMAN .-SHOCKING SUFFERINGS OF THE SURTITORS . We announced in our last edition of last week the loss of this Indiaman , 500 tons burdon , en her outward voyage from England to Bombay , on a reef of rocks , named the Cargados Garayos or Narerett Bank , with melancholy loss of life . The annexed narrative i 8 from , a gentleman who was a passenger onboard the ill-fated vessel : — " Nothing of any note occurred until the night of the 6 th of April last , when , at eight o ' clock , the captain informed us that , if his reckoning was correct , we should either be clear of , pr very nearly upon ,, the Cargados reef . Being rather taken aback at the cool

      way in which he expressed himself , I ran forward to the forecastle , followed by the captain and one of the passengers . Twen ty minutes had not elapsed before I distinctly saw breakers ahead , which I immediately : pointed out to the captain , who turned to one of the seamen standing near him at the time ( named Peter Martin ) , and asked him if he thought they were breakers ? He replied , " Yes , they are , " at the same moment the look-out man on the foreyard sang out , " . breakers ahead . " We were then going six knots , with the starboard tacks about two points , free wind east , steering north . The captain ordered . the helm to be put up , and the ship fell off to the west nortk-wesfc , and in far less time than it has taken me to write she . struck—at first slightly , then went on with . a fearful crash ,

      starting every timber in her , pieces of wreck floating up all around us . We saw in a moment all hopes to save the vessel were at an , end , as she heeled over to seaward suddenly , the sea making a clear breach over her every roller . . This was the work of a few minutes only . Three parts of the crew were by this time on their knees , crying , and making the most frantic appeals to heaven for aid . All order and discipline were now at an end . The carpenter and two seamen attempted to cut away the masts , but owing , I suppose , to the excitement of the moment , they cut away the weather rigging only ; the masts of course went by the ) oard , but being still attached to tho . vessel by the lee rigging , and falling over to seaward , they served as a battering ram , beating the vessel to

      pieces every successive roller . After the firstiburst of excitement was over , a simultaneous rush was made for the boats , but we found the only one that was available was the starboard quarter boat , the other two had been stove to pieces by the ' wreck . The captain was not slow in taking to our only apparent chance of escape , the remaining boat , eight of the seamen speedily following him ; and as he was going over the side I reminded him that he ought to be the last person to leave the vessel , instead of which he was evidently desirous to be the first . They shoved off , and pulled back . once or twice near the . vessel , asking for water and bread , which of course was out of our power , and much more out of our inclination to supply ttem with . He then pulled away altogether , which was the last

      we saw of him . The ship by this time was- breaking up fast ; the stern frame burst out ^ a ' nd was thrown up on the starboard . quarter ,, and . in a few minutes afterwards she parted amidships , leaving thirteen persons exposed to the fury of the surf on the fore part of the starboard side , wliore . we remained till the morning broke .. The tide turned about this time from ebb to flood , when the rollers came in with redoubled violence and dashed the remainder of the wreck to pieces . All were immediately buffetting with , tl > e waves , and sharks innumerable surrounded us on all sides , which very much increased the terrors of our situation ^ Owing to my being hurled on the rocks by the surf two or three times I lost my senses , and was perfectly un conscious as to what had occurred till I found my ?

      self resting on a spar with a sailor . I found , the ship had gone to pieces , and five of our ^ comrad es had perished . Water surrounded us in every direction , with nothing in view but one or two small pand banks , and those a long distance off . By night we had constructed a rude kind of raft , on which > we slept , but as the tide ebbed we grounded , and with the exception of onr heads we were literally sleeping in the wafer , cold and wretched ,, but still ( comparatively speaking ) safe . , We remained iOri the raft in this state two days and nights , the sun scorching us by day , and the wind , owing to bur being wet , making us dreadfully cold at night ., On . 'Sunday , the third day , having found a small quantity of oatmeal , we determined to stavt for the nearest sandbank . A sixty gallon cask of beer , two six-dozen

      cases of wine , a piece of bad pork , and the oatmeal were the only things saved from the wreck . We had only eaten once , and then but sparingly . Here we lived fourteen days and nights ,, subsisting on sharks' flesh and the wine and beer we saved ., Not a drop of water was to be had . On the ' 20 th of April we saw a vessel to the leeward of us , and endeavoured to attract her attention by means of a boat book and a shirt attached , but " she did not , or would not , see us . The next day , about one hour before sun-set , another vessel hove in sight , and in about the same , spot as the ship of the [ previous evening was seen . We again hoisted our signal ,

      and walked about the bank to show there-were living creatures on it . We thought she did not see us , and , after taking an allowance of oatmeal and sharks' flesh , we laid down for the night ' s rest . In a short time , however , we were alarmed by the barkinjj of our dog , and on getting on onr legs , 'discovered , to our delight , a boat close in for the sands . She belonged to the veBsel we had seen in the evening . The mate and one of the passengers jwent on board that night , and the rest of the survivors-wore taken off the next . mornmg , when we were conveyed safely to the Mauritius . " The ship and cargo were insured for £ 25 , 000 . . ! ¦ >

On Friday he missed some more reports , and he then questioned the prisoner respecting them , who denied all knowledge of them .
