O. K. WOKUEN, Publisher. The Siege of Dantzlc When Marshal Lcfebvre, in 1807, mves led Dantzic,, the celebrated engineer Bous tnard put it in a condition to sustain a regular siege. Gen. Kalkrcauth.over whom Itousmard exercised much influence, had under his command a garrison of twelve thousand Prussians and three Russian bat talions. For the attack, Marshal Lcfebvre t.j n . mivorl multitude of French. Poles, and Germans, to the number of sixteen thousand. He always showed his soldiers nn example of modesty and courage ; the Marshal of the Empire never forgot that he had risen from the ranks, but was always foremost in mounting a breach, or leading on a forlorn hope. Two months, however, passed on, and Dntzic continued impregnable. It was not certainly an unreasonably long time to spend in reducing so strong a place, yet Napoleon became impatient. He who had astonished the universe with the rapidity of his invasions and conquests, and who had recently reduced the kingdom of Prus sia to obedience in seven weeks, had some right to complain of Lefebvre's tardiness. From his camp at Finkenstein he surveyed the whole of Europe, moved Turkey, threatened Russia, looked at England with impotent displeasure, coucluded treaties with Germany, sent forth his commands, and raised soldiers wherever and whenever he willed, and amid all this he could not, without manifest impatience, think of the siege ol Dantzic. What's Lefebvre about What is he doing ? 1 don't understand his dallying." Such were the Emperor's abrupt exclama tion. Whenever a despatch from the Marshal arrived, containing an account of the lecal difficulties of the siege, Napoleon would give it a rapid glance of his eagle eve, and then throwing it down contemptu ously, would say, " Stuff deuce take the Alsatian and his fine descriptive style!" Denon," said the Emperor one day, addressing his favorite artist, " I mutt know how matters are progressing at Dant zic. Go thither immediately, present your self to the Marshal, and bring me back a drawing of the place. 1 depend on you. Go " la a quarter or an hour after the delivery of this imperial mandate, Denon was on the road to Dantlic with his pencils and portfolio. He was now upwards of sixty years old, and had sojourned with Louis XV. and Louis XVI. at Versailles, with Frederick the Great at Potsdam, with Cath erine II. at St. Petersburg, and with Vol tairc at Ferney. Since the memorable Egyptian expedition, he had followed the footsteps of Napolion. At Bylau a ball struck a piece of ordnance close to the Fmrurnr. and killed three men. Denon, who luuKeav- ,!,e sctm s cf tr,um pTaWal lo draw from mvSutriM.C' j stormiest battle, without thinking ol danger or caring for risk, just then approached calmly, with his sketching materials in his .ha"dI was just thinking of you," said the . Emperdr ; " but you must retire. Denon ' too uch peril here for your head, and too mucli smoke for your eyes." Napolion forgot nothing ; the artist's perfect coolness ltulnu was present to his mind when he sent hinVto bring bffeka military plan of DantVic. . . Arrived at the outpost of the besieging nrrnv. Denon asked an audience of the Marshal, and told his errand. .Lefebvre, who knew little, and cared less, about the character and talents of his visitor, did not i give him credit for good faith, but believed that he came with some sinister design. He measured the artist leisurely with an unlricnuly eye, and then in a tone of irony said, Ah, ah, so Monsieur wants to see Dantzic t He wants to inspect the slate of the siege for himself. Well, 'tis really a pretty drama ; I'll secure him a seat in the staue-box '." So sa)ing, he called a sergeant, one of tbr- bravest, and withal one of the dullest fellows in the army, and said,.- ririiacn, vou will lead this gentleman to the spot N. V, . from whence he will have the best view of Dantzic ; you understand.? on the glacis, opposite the bastion of DisV-hofsberg." " Yes, Marshal," replied the fe&adior, moving oo. ; . t.y . ' ' " I thank you. Marshal," said Denon as he prepared to follow his guide. Thank mc for nothing," muttered Le febvre belween his teeth. " So," thought he, " the Emperor distrusts me, and sends a spy to my camp ! A rascally policeman, I'll be bound ! He thought to deceive me with his plans and drawings, as if, indeed, Bonaparte were a child that wanted pic tures to amuse him ! I fancy I'll give my gentleman. Monsieur Denon, as he calls himself, quite enough of his trade. I'll teach him bow to stand fire ! I'd give a day's pay for the pleasure of seeing hiin run away from the bullets !" Meantime Denon and his guide walked rapidly onwards. They oon crossed the line, and came within range of the cannon on the forts, which at that moment were keeping up a most animated interchange of civilities with the French batteries. Balls and bullets whistled about the heads of the artist and the grenadier, and the soil on which they trod was deeply furrowed by projectiles of various kinds. Precisely at j the spot where the missiles were flying ' thickest, Firbach paused, and told Denon, that they were now arrived at the point indicated by flie Marshal. Without mak ing any remark, the artist stepped into a hollow dug by the passage of a bomb, and whose raised edge formed a sort of desk ; he then calmly opened his portfolio, took out his pencil and began to sketch. His brave guide looked at him with astonishment. " A .leasant place," said he, "to stand in and admire ihe uwi- scape ." i lien seeing mat uenon was pur-1 suing his employment very leisurely " ComraJe," said he, " will you remain here long ?" " Why do you ask?" " Why why ? Just because 'lis too hot here to be quite agreeable." "Do you think so? Then don't let me detain you. You can return to the camp, and when I shall have finished. 1 shall easily find my way back." . " Adieu, then, Monsieur ; rtvoir '' So saying the grenadier walked off, nothing loth, to rejoin his company, whose dinner was just served. Marshal Lefebvre meantime had had much business to transact. At the end of two hours he suddenly recollected Firbach and Denon. "What!" exclaimed he, not yet returned ? It would really annoy me to have one of my brave fellows meet death by the side ol a Epy :- " Firbach, at all events, is in a high state of preservation,'' said an aide-de-camp : " I saw him just now refreshing himself at the canteen." "Then the other must have fallen? Well, well, the joke was certainly rather too practical. I should have preferred his taking back his report to Bonaparte. But it can't be helped ; a spy, after all, is no great loss 1'' " Sat-re " cried the aide-de-camp, who was looking through a spy glass ; " here's the very man walking quietly towards us, as if the bulleta were so many bonbon ! Is it possiblo that the fellow can have stood ever since between the batteries? Where's Firbach ? Call him to me." The grenadier came, and related exactly what had passed. Just as he bad finished, Denon arrived. It was pleasant to see the warm hearted Marshal run to meet the artist, grasp both his hands, and exclaim, M No ; you are not a spy, but a really brave, honest fellow. I mistook you. Mon sieur Cenon.and hope you will forgive roe. Take sketches under a shower of shot and shell ! Tis ten times a greater feat than Sdini a charge swordjn hand. The Kmneror nas commissioj.cu j - - .

We will not leave avbiistion or redoubt unvoted ; ana I hope you" will grant me your friendship in return for the esteem with which your valor has inspired me." Lefebvre kept his word ; he conducted Denon to the best points of view, and could not sufficiently admire the artist's sketches and steadiness of hand. Denon returned to Finkenstein ; and in a few day after wards, on the 24th of May, 1807, Dantzic capitulated. General Kalkreauth obtained the same conditions mat, iouneen years before he had himself granted lo the garri son of Mayencc. Lefebvre had hmi con ducted with all honor to the outposts of the Prussian army ; and the ancient comrade of the great Frederick expressed his grati tude in an affectionate letter to the Marshal. The conqueror received for a recompense the title of Duke of Dantzic, so it is evident that the report of hisproceedings brought by Denon was by no TOana ca.cuia.iea ixf r aw x lower him in the estimation w iappieon.

The End of Hungary. Nations, Iik individuals, have their youth, their manhood, and their old age ; and so, too, have races of men. We do not know a more striking inslance of this tru ism "than is presented by the history of the Hungarians. . The Magyars were originally an Asiatic tribe, and formed a branch el the Finnic race, as is proved by their physical char acteristics, not less than by heir language. Phey first appeared in Europe at the be ginning of the .ninth century, t heir ca reer, until the fury of Ihe onset was spent, was one of incessant victory. Armed with bows and arrows, and mounted on fleet horses, they were invincible by nny force J.that Europe could muster. 1 hey swept up the Danube like a destroying whirlwind, until their territories extended Irom tar be low Ikl"rade to ir above Vienna, so that not only what is now Hungary, but vast territories contiguous to it, owned their sway. From this central seat of power they soon spread their ravages on every side. They invaded Italy, they thun- deredatthe gates of Holland, they even carried their war-cry into tho heart of France. For nearly- two centuries, the M9v.n were to western Europe what the ""BJ ' Turks subseouentlv became, a raco hated as they were feared, a nation ol war riors whom nothing could oppose. But the horsemen whom the feudal chivalry of France and Germany could not resist, Christianity finally subdued. The first Magyars were heathens. They hati-J the Franks us men of a hostile race, but they hated them worse as believers in a different religion. When, however, holy missionaries, disregarding the perils that would environ tbein in the midst of savage heathens, penetrated into Hungary, and preached in the tumultuous camps of the wild conquerors the peaceful doctrines of the Gospel, a mighty change took place. The whole nation was, as it were, converted in a day. A single generation saw the Hungarians transformed from Pagans into Christians. With this great change came more peaceable habits. The Magyars no longer warred ,on western Europe with religious fanaticism as before, but rather sought to be on terms of amity with them, and to imitate the arts of peace. Gradually returning, therefore, with the boundaries of their central kingdom, they confincd-themselves to the great plains of Hungary and to the contiguous territories. Their princes began to intermarry with the princes of western Europe ; the ople assumed more or less 6f the habits of civi lization ; and Hungary became, by ihe sanction oi neighboring pottnta.tt;s, an ac knowledged Christian kingdom.
