foreign NEWS. I
r.om the Second Edition of the London j
Times,
o ( ,r Vienna papers and letters are of the j
•j'Uh u!t. The ff lener Zeilung contains
the Austrian Emperor's consent to the res- \
lunation of Count Stud ion, whom the same '
decree re-appoints to the post of a Minis
ter without a portefevillc. Dr. Each has ;
been made Minister of the Home Depart
ment. and llaron Schmerling has been ga
zetted as Minister of Justice, whiie the
ecclesiastical and agricultural a flairs are en
trusted to the Count I.eo Thunn, and the
Chevalier Theitifeld.
()ur correspondent's letter fully corrobo
rates his former statement of the successful
march of Gorgev. It is evident that the '
experienced Russian Marshal has been out
wilted by the young Hungarian, and that
the opportune advance of Dembinski did j
not only prevent the Prince Paskiewitch
from sending the. bulk of his array in pur- '■
suit of Gorgey, but that Gen. Haynau, ,
100, trill be detained in/he vicinity of Sze- j
gedtn much longer than is good for the .
success of the Imperialist arms. Our cor
respondent is of opinion that there is no
impediment to the union of the two Hun
garian corps under Gorgey and Dembin- !
ski; indeed, unless the Austrian comman
der Haynau should happen to be reinfor
ced by part of the great Russian army, that
General is sure to find himself in a posi
tion still more perilous than that of Hur
on JeUachich. The above reflections are
fully borne out by the assertions of the
Kolner Zeilung , in which it is stated that
the fortress of Teniesva has surrendered
to the Hungarians, who have likewise en
tered Seinlin, the which town ,
makes them matters of the Danube from
Esse git to Orshova, thus facilitating their
communications with the Turkish empire j
and the city of Belgrade.
Another report which is contained in :
die Kolner Zeilung , acquires n high de
gree of probability Irein the reflections (as
quoted above.) of our correspondent on
the relative positions of the Imperialist ar- ;
inies under Paskiewitch aud Haynau, and
those of the Hungarians under Gorgey
and Dembinski. This news is that Pas
kieu itch has been defeated by Dembinoki's
arm}) at Gyongyos. No details wliatev- !
er are given of the affair.
Our correspondent informs us that the
city of Mohalsh, too, has been taken by
the Hungarians.
The movements in Turkish Croatia are
increasing in extent and violence, and the
deire of the Turkish Croats to join their
Austrian brethren in a Croat kingdom, un
der Baron Jellachich, becomes daily mani
fest.
Affairs in Italy.
From Rome there is no intelligence of
special interest. 'The Pope seems dissat
isfied with the state of affairs there, and
has thus far refused to go to Rome under
French protection. Gen. Oudinot has sent '
to him the keys of one of the gates, which
lie acknowledged in a letter congratulating
him on his victory "over the enemies of ail
human society." The Pope has also is
sued the following address to his subjects:
"Pius IX, to beloved sujecto—God has
raised his arm, and hath commanded the
tempestuous ocean of anarchy and impiety
to stop. He hath guided the Catholic ar
mies to support the rights of humanity, j
which had been trampled upon—of faith,
which had been attacked—aud ol the Iloly
•See and of our Sovereignty. O Eternal
Glory, which even in the midst of Thy
wrath does not forget Thy mercy ! Be
loved subjects, if, amidst the whirlwind of
these horrible events, our heart has been !
satisfied with bitterness, on reflecting upon
so many evils which the church, religion,
and you have suffered, it has lost none of
that affection with which it his ever loved
you, and loves you still. We hasten by
"ur vows the day which will lead us again
among you ; and when the day shall have
come, ,ve shall return with the fervent de
sire of bearing consolation unto you, and
with the determination to devote all our en- '
fcrgy to your real advantage, by applying
difficult remedies to great evils, and conso
hng those excellent subjects who, while i
they await institutions in accordance u ith '
their wants, wish, as we also wish, to see
'he freedom and independence of the Pon
tifical Sovereign so necessary to the tran
quility of the Catholic world guaranteed.
•Meanwhile, in order to reorganize public
affairs, we shall shorlly name a coinmis
i.on, which invested with full powers and
seconded by a ministry, will direct the
Government of the Stale. We implore to- j
day, with increased fervor, the blessing of
the fiord,(which we have ever implored,
even at a distance from yon) we implore ;
that it may be abundantly shed upon you. :
h is a great consolation for our soul to hope
that all those who hate made themselves
unfit to gather its fruits by their errors,
may render themselves worthy of it by a
'Ulcere and constant return to righteous
i.ess. "PIUS IX."
"Given at Girta, July 17."
The Courier des Jllps stales that the
•ope will enter Rome in the beginning of
.- - I
August, and that Fran :e, Austria, Spain
and Naples would send detachments to ,
Ur present at that solemnity.
Ihe Concordia,ol the 27th ult., publish
a proclamation, addressed by Mazzini
Ul '''■ Romans, recommending them to en
uu:- wnh constancy and firmness the ca
'•'•'inty of foreign intervention which af-
Let them at present, and not to give way !
•AM-ourageinent. He calls upon the
'"nicipalities to repeat with firmness that
G"}' -ilhere voluntarily to the republican
,! 'i 'jfid to the abolition of (he temporal
i l "''*' ( "(the Pope, and that they consider
' " er y Government illegal which has not
"' freely approved by the people. He
'Bet the cry b#> constantly heard, Down
the Government of Priests ! Free auf*
* tor ever ! All those who have sworn
ty t|ic Republic should divest
themselves of their functions wherever the
the Pontificial colors have been hoisted. —
A v\ hole nation cannot be put in prison.—-
I lie Roman Assembly is not dissolved.—
Ihe 1 riumvirs, although their public
action litis been suspended bv brutal (orce,
only await ihe favorable moment to cun
| voke it again."
By a decree of the 21st ult.. General ,
Oudinot ha-- named a commission at Rome. 1
composed of Messrs. Marino, Prefect of i
the Apostolical Archieves ; Commander i
\ iscotiti. Commissary of Antique Monu- ;
me ills; and Legot, Secretary and Librari
an to the Academy of France, to inquire ;
into the state of the public libraries, and
notice the roberies which might have been
committed there.
I HE UM , ltFJlH)lClil>.-l.t'i no foolish per
sons he s i prejudiced against th's now truly celebrated
, medicinen* to despise this advice ; let it be used iinmedi
i ately on p.iin being felt! no mailer where it may In*,
whether in the head or feet, whether it he in the back or
! abdomen, whether arising from external orintcmal cause,
j use the Brandreih's !'ills,aiid rely upon it, that the pain
: will go, the body will he restored to health as soon as na
! ture has received sufficient ASSISTANCE from tin ir effect. ;
i The quantity of impure humors discharged from the
j body by the action of the Brandreth's I'ills, is replaced in
! the course of a few hours with new aud pure blood, by
■he digestion of a moderate meal. By purging the body
, with this medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en
| tirely purified and regenerated.
| That the blood is the life of the body, 1 presume is un- j
: disputed, therefore I shall say that it being the SEAT OF |
; LIFE, it must also be the seat of disease. If disease be in '
tlie blood, we should abstract the disease only, not the I
blood, il is ihe impuiitics which must be removed by j
purgation to secure our health, in all states of ihe weaiuer, ,
in all situations, and in atl climates. The blood, like a
good spirit, is always trying to benefit the body by its
struggles to expel impurities Bui it is not capable to ef
fect its own purification ut all times : to do this it must
often have assistance. When the blood is loaded with im
purities, especially in this climate, the consequences may '
he fatal, provided the blood is not purified at once, and
this is sure to lie effected if Brandreth's Bills are used.
Pure base the genuine medicine of the following agents: ;
