ADVANCE OF HUNGARIANS TOWARDS VIENNA.
ANOTHER BATTLE BETWEEN THE

about 11 1 days from Liverpool, bringing pa

GREAT BRITAIN.
In England, Ooca! politics were never in
abeyance more than at this moment, the in
terest of the royal visit to Ireland having
passed away. The London journals find the
greatest difficulty in filling their columns
with any attractive matter.
: The most active hnrvest operations are go
ing forward in all parts of the country. In
the neighborhood of Liverpool a good deal of
rain has fallen, but in the Southern parts of
England the weather has been very fine, so
that the labors of the husbandman had not
been sensibly interrupted, and upon the will
be abundant. The weather in Ireland, how
ever, has undergone a very unfavorable
change.
In the neighborhood of Dublin, the corn
fields have suffered greatly from the exces
sive rains, and we regret to say that, in the
worst districts of the south there are signs of
the potato disease re-appearing. However,
from the very imperfect reports hitherto
brought under our notice, we do not believe
that the mischief extends beyond a few lo
calities. FRANCE.
At length, after a sitting of eighteen months
only intertupted by the brief intervals occu
pied in the elections, the Legislative Assem
bly of France has adjourned to the 1st of Oc
tober next.
At the last sitting but one, during an inci
dental discussion arising out of an application
to prosecute two representatives for seditious
Jibels published in the province, and elderly
member, M. B.istier, in a personal altercation
called Pierre Bonaparte an imbecile, upon
which the President's cousin struck M. Bas
teir a blow in the face. A violent eonversa
tion ensued and SI Dupin ordered them into
custody.
t This great scandal upon an assembly which
it was hoped, would exhibited a great sen
sation, and Pierre Bonaparte is to be tried
before the ordinary tribunals for the offence.
The French Government, it is said, have
received information that Austria had applied
to Bavaria for military assistance, and that
tha latter power was about to send 50,000
troops to protect the Austrian capital.
' The troops left at Rome by Gen. Oudinot
have exhibited strong feelings of dissatisfac
tion at not being permitted to return to
Imperialists. It spp-ars that their losses, in
killed and wounded and captuted men and
cannon, were by far greater than it was first
presumed. The retreat of the Imperialists
from Raab was all but a race, in w hich the
soldiers cast away their muskets, swords and
knapsacks, while the Russians, doffing their
long coats, which arrested their onward pro
gress; arrived at Presburg in their shirt
sleeves. Some artillery horses were saved
by the traces being cut. Rumor speaks of
five battalions of foot which are missing, and
among these the Imperialists that have been
actually engaged bear the marks of the sa
bres of the formidable Hussars.
It is understood at Vienna that all the sol
diers that marched on the 5th inst. will de
sert the first opportunity. Nor are these sen
timents confined to the troops that marched
from Vienna after the affair at Raab. We
learn from the letters of one of our corres
pondents, Ths General Haynau, on setting
out for the south, left in he camp near Co
morn several officers, both Russians and Aus
trian, and a considerable body of troops,
who had evinced symptoms of insubordina
tion and a sympathy for the Hungarians.
No sooner did these officers and men see
Klapka;s forces advancing in the direction of
Raab, then mounting their horses, they pro
ceeded in a body in the same directton.

ROME.
Rrtiral oflht Papal Administration.
A correspondent of the New York Adver
tiser gives the following summary of news
from Rome , ' ' '
At Rome, the installation of the three Car
dinals in uncontrolled powers, as the repre
sentatives of the Pope, was immediately fol
lowed by an abusive manifesto from them,
against "anarchy" and the "shameful acts
performed by demagogues without reputation
or character," but in which a specification of
the shameful acts in question was wholly
omitted. The clergy, it is said, are now
openly threatening revenge for all their past
mortification, and the three Cardinals aregiv-

disappointed. All laws promulgated during purf,uit WM impossible, for the Imperialists

DESTRUCTIVE FIRF.
The beautiful residence of Dr. J. J. Up-
degraffin Jackson township in this county,
was entirely consumed on Monday night
last, between 12 and 1 o'clock. The fire
it is supposed, originated (n the back room
below, and extending up between the stud
ding to the wall plate above, broke out
through the plastering, and when the Doc
tor awoke he found the head board and pil
low ol his bed on fire. He had barely time
to escape with his children. Nothing was
saved but some little bedding and a lew
books. Hit library of about 1500 volumes
and his surgical instruments, the best col
lection this side of Philadelphia, which he
valued at $2000, were all destroyed. He
estimates his whole loss at about $3,500

these proceedings have been talked without been published, and the imperialists in Vt-
the formation of any Ministry, and such was
the feeling with which they were received
that the French, in order to keep down the
people, were compelled to place artillery in
the streets, and to have the gunners ready
with lighted matches. Another step, also,
which, but for the efficient measures of the
soldiers of the French republic, would have
caused "the very stones of Rome to rise in
mutiny," has been the re-tsttiblishmenl of the
Inquisition. A Dr. Achilli, an eminent Ital
ian theolugian, a man who has never med
dled with politics, but who has been for five
years an avowed Piolestant, was one of its
first victims. He was arrested on the night
of the 30ih of July, by three men in plain
clothes, and is now in one of the secret cells
of the Holy Office. This case, which has
only just transpired, promises to excite an ex
traordinary feeling among all the teligious
bodies in England. Doubtless, when Gen
eral Oudinot discovers that it cannot be veiled
in secresy, the Ministers of Louis Napoleon
will attempt to remedy the "mistake." But
how many are doomed to follow Dr. Achilli,
of whose fate no mention will ever after
wards be mado 1
Gen. Oudinot has loft Rome for Gaeta,
whence he will return to Paris to be idolized
for having maintained the "honor of France."
It is alleged that he will be elevated to the
rank of marshal.

it is asserted that Georgey's desperate
resolution was prompted by the mutinous
conduct of the Hussars.
Georgey's remaining, induced a number of
the Hungarian generals to tide with him on
surrendering not only Georgey's corps, but
also part ol tne Besieging army at Temeswar,
numbering in all from 30,000 to 40,000 men
that stood by Georgey. The war party
headed by Bern, Kossuth and the leading
members of the Hungarian Parliament, hud
nothing left but to hasten to Ossova. It is
stated that they have already entered upon
Turkish territory, and it is also stated thatM
Kossuth carried with him the insignia of the
Hungarian Empire, including the State jew
els.
A Vienna letter in the Deutsche Rebore
states that the number of troops that surren

HUNGARIAN NEWS.
The news from Hungary is highly im
portant and interesting. Though the Hun
garians have met some reverses, they have
on the whole, been successful. The Hun.'
garians, like the Americans in the Revolu
tion, are acting on the defensive, and al
ways, if possible, avoid a pitched battle.
The policy of ffee Hungarians is to attack
the enemy tn detail or small parties, and
in making such sallies as the late exploit in
the recapture of Raab, by which the allied
armies of Austria and Russia lost an im
mense amount of stores intended for the
subsiSterrce of their army. In this way
when their supplies are cut off", the enemy
will soon be used up, as Austria and Russia
combined are not able to bear the enor
mous expense of keeping large armies any
length offline in Hungary. Gen. Gorgey
is reported to have had a number of en
gagements with the Russian Gen. Grabbe
in his retreat, after having broken through
the Russian lines. Gorgey isa native Hun
garian and the favorite General. Though
a young man, great reliance is placed on his
valor, his wisdom and sound judgment.
Like our own Washington he never sacri
fices his men or fights a battle but from
sheer necessity, or when some important
point is to be gained. There is a report
that a battle had taken place in Transyl
vania, in which Luders had gained a victory
over Bern. This, however, wants confirm
ation. The Austrian government it is ru
mored, are desirous of negotiating with the
Hungarians. They are evidently alarmed
and will probably soon find it necessary to
take care of themselves. There is certainly
a prospect that the gallant Hungarians will
triumph.
IE?" Gen. Haynau. This Austrian Butch
er is said to be the son of the infamous elec
tor of Hesse Casse), who sold his subjects
at so much a head, to George the III. to
prosecute the war against the American
Colonies during the Revolution. He is a
fit subject for such bloody work. His
butchery of a number of citizens of Brescia,
Upper Italy, and his vile proclamation
against the inhabitants of Buda Pesth, are
worthy of the young tyrant Francis Joseph,
and his butcher General.
