Parliament is to be prorogued on the
tfth. A motion, which Lord Brougham
previously announced his intention to
make, as reference to the French expedi
tion in Italv. was laid UDon the table of
Peers on Friday. The resolution embod
ied a wide range of subjects, and implied
a direct ceusure of the foreign policies ofj
the government, and it is understood that
the envoys and agents in Northern Italy,
and in Sicily, will be fully noticed.
In the debate which took place on the
420th, in allusion to the cholera, Lord Ash
ley, the chairman of the Board of Health
stated in the House of Commons on
Thursday last, that he had reason to know
that not one half of the cases were repor
ted. Enough,"however, is officially known
to make it certain that the epidemic is ra
ging in many parts of the country to a
dreadful extent. During the last week
339 deaths by cholera were reported in
London, which is more than double the
number of the preceding week. Bristol,
Plymouth, Portsmouth, and along the
whole south coast it is raging in a very
malignant form and the mortality is very
great. At Liverpool the disease is rapidly
increasing. 1 he number ot cases repor
ted for -i days previous to Thursday, were
respectively 61, 74, 83, 102.

Ireland Riots The Crops.
On the 12th, a verv serious riot took
place between a party of armed Orange
men and Catholics, near Castle William,
in the county of Down. The Orange
?arty having celebrated the day, it being
he anniversary of the battle of Anghran,
at Tullymorc, and being on their march
home, whilst passing a defile called Dolly's
Brea, found their path waylaid. All the
passes and sunounding hills were occupied
by an immense number of Roman Cath
olics, provided with forks and fire-arms,
and plainly contemplating a general mas
sacre. The Protestants aided bv a small party
of police and military, stood upon their
defence; and succeeded in forcing their
way through the gap, after a short struggle
in which 40 or 50 persons are said to
have been killed or wounded on both sides
much the greater proportion being of
the Roman Catholic party; 38 Ribbon
men had been taken prisoners on Friday.
Two medical gentlemen drove through the
country, round about the scene of the con
test, with the view of administering relief
to those who were wounded, but they
were refused admittance at every house
where thev called.
The Cork Examiner in alluding to the
potato crop, says the disease has appeared
in a few fields. There can be no doubt
but it is equally positive that as yet the
general crop is saved, and in almost all
places unusually abundant; and the gener
al impression, is that it is so far advanced
that supposing a blight to set m, the tu
bers will have been out of the ground be
fore such time as the disease could have
reached it.

The missing Montegrand representa

Another and probably more reliable ac
count of this battle states that 180 pieces
of cannon were brought into the field by
the Hungarians, and the loss sustained by
the latter in artillerymen, may be estima
ted from the circumstance, that several of
the guns had to be secured liteially by the
ditch meister in Finlay. Nothing could
be more complete than the defeat of the

Incidents of the War. ; ,
The Morganblatt, a paper published
at Stuttgart by the well known critic Men-
zel, contains a series ot letters by a CrexH
man officer m the army of Jellachich.
They throw a good deal of light upon the
mode in which the war is carried on be
tween the Hungarians and Austrians. The
following interesting passages from these
etters we translate for The Tribune. In
reading them it should not be forgotten
that the sympathies of the writer are nat
urally on the Austrian 6ide:

was on the move alone with ray li'le

forced to take a day's rest on count of
khe exhaustion of the men vhich is of
course never thought of I Iwd rxAonce
taken off my clothes. How friefctflllv I
look with all this! I could not heln t urn
ing when I first saw myself in a ffliss; a
long beard meandering in no very orna
mental fashion over chin, chetka and
mouth; my hair cut as it happened by a
husser; a black cloth over my forehiad to
hide a slight cut I had received a fcw daj's
before from a Hungarian hussar: mi long
white cloak covered with gray- Hack,
brown and yellow blotches, variegated
with stains of blood, and cut pierced
by gashes, bullets and the firebrards of
bivouacs; my shako hacked and $mjshed;
instead of neat bootees, course wateooots,
high over the leather snlatter-dasHsrs of
my trowsers; and not a jot of fringe re
maining on my black and yellow "scarf.
My sword is all battered by th? bltws it
has given and taken, and covered vith a
thick rust of blood; my favorite A?i, my
noble war-horse, is worn thin as a ct, and
is minus an ear through the cut of a saber,
but still iresh and ready for new battles
as, thank God! hismaster is ilso. My
soldiers, too, hold out well, but rook even
more like a troop of robbers thn I like a
robber captain.
For the rest, more than half those I
had with me at the beginning are either
fallen or badly wounded, and roy little
corps has had twice to be filled uy. But
the great empire has many people and
what harm is it if we all go to the dogs?
The Emperor always gets soldieri. Hu
man life falls low in value wtieifyoil have ,
tried a year of constant Sfljfcthuj as we
have done.
As we are always in fas immediate vi
cinity of the enemy and often set up our
watch hardly a mile from his outposts, we
have had, especially lately, as ryuch fight
ing as one could desire. Scarcely a day
has passed withvbit our being beset by the
hostile hussars either in grand or moderate
style, and we often had this pleasure for
breakfast and then again for supper, and
some days were nothing but one continu
ous skirmish. Generally it was only a
few sabre cuts that individual horsemen
exdhanged with each other, or carbine
bullets that the outposts sent from each
side, or else the business was to carry out
or to "hinder some shrewd ambuscade.
But now and then the matter became se
rious, and there was sharp fighing and bat
tles even, in which the crash of cannon
came to play its part. Then many a ri
der must change his seat on horseback for
a long resting place in the cold earth. The
greater battles were in part very bloody,
for they were fought on both sides with
the greatest courage and with indescribable
animosity. Thus at GyongyosI saw two
squadrons of Kossuth-Hussars charge
thrice a hollow square of our infantry;
twice the quiet, well-aimed fire of the foot
drove them back; horses and men iell in
platoons, but with a ringing shout "Huz
za, Fljen, Eljen Kossutk!" they dashed
up the third time at the top of their hors
es' speed, regardless of the-"hostile fire,
and broke the ranks on which their sabres
now raged like lightning. . Alas, we could
not fly to the help of our brave c omrades,
for at the moment we wera raged with
au overwhelming force of the enemy's
cavalry. Though at tha .end of the strug
gle we held the field, our loss was net
small. It cannot be denied that the great
est part of the insurgents, and especially
their cavalry, fight admirably and show a
courage and skill which belong only to the
good soldier. What are those boastful,
noisy, cowardly Italians to these bold Mag
yars and death-daring Poles?
To describe all the counties little fights
in which I have been engaged lately would
be tedious. There were many mournful
events and few agreeable. The gay spir
its and excessive confidence with which
we began the war have disappeared, to
give place to a manlier tone of mind.
Merry war and drinking songs are now
seldom heard in our bivouacs. Every day
comes the news that this or that friend or
brave comrade has met his death from hos
tile bullets or sabres, or lies dangerously
wounded. When such announcements
follow continually, the soul must at last
become oppressed. When this unhappy
war will end "cannot be told. The' Hun
garians will carry it to the last, and it will
cost seas of blood . before Hungary and
Trnv1vania can become conquered pro
vinces. And then it will take an army of

the drinking rooms of Galllcian castles for
distant villages, now stood before as bitter
foes. A hostile hussar, whom 1 had wen
known, once shouted to me in Magyar in
the midst of a fight: "Thou wert once my
brave officer and I loved thee, now thou
art the enemv of my country and I shoot
thee!" Saying this he left off his pistol
at me, the ball whistling too close to my
head for comfort.
A few days after I came together with
the hussars of my former regiment in a cu
rious fashion. The little fights and skir
mishes of outoosts had been so constant
for many days and so tiresome, especially
for the horses, that both parties wanted
rest, and a sort of a spontaneous truce arose
between the flying:corps. We had set up
our watches about 2,000 paces from each
other, tolerably free from care as to an at
tack, at least as to a surprise, for on that
day every body preferred resting to fight
ing. On our side the stock of provisions
was very poor, and in the region about,
there was nothing to be had, as the Mag
yars according to their fashion, had carried
off or hidden or destroyed everything. I
looked disconsolate as my people got rea
dy the eternal mamaliga (c:rn broth.) At
anv rate, this is a tolerable thin dish, but
when you have had nothing else for two
weeks it is perfectly disgusting, and I shall
never forget it in my life. In our wooden
flasks there was but little Sklikowitzer,
and there we sat forcing down our meal
broth by the help of a little wretched wa
ter, in bad enough spirits around our fee
ble watch-fire. Our opponents seemed
as usual better off for provender of all
sorts
than we; their laughing sounded
once I saw two hussars stand up on the
other side, and showing a white cloth, ap
proach us. Curious to know what it was,
1 went toward them, and soon recognized
two hussars of my old squadron. They
saluted me politely, said that they had a
stock of good things, a cask of wine and a
fat sow, and as they knew we were not
very well provided for, they had come to
ask me if I would share a part of theirs.
As I knew ihey were genuine Magyars,
who, when not excited, always act with
honor, I gratefully accepted the friendly
ofler, and sent a couple of men over to
them.
A few hours after, at eveniug, some
horsemen from the Polish Legion of the
Hungarians attacked us with such fury
that we could hardly resist them. Gener
ally such truces between outposts took
place only with the former regular troops,
or the well disciplined Honved battallions
or squadrons. There were many divi
sions in the Magyar army which it would
have been dangerous to trust for a moment.
If an outpost on cither side wished for a
few hours' quiet, the signal "to feed" was
blown. If it was answered from the ene
my the armistice was agreed on if not,
reiected. At the time for hostilities to re-
commence the signal -to sauuie was
. ... l n M
no saauie
blown, and a few minutes after came the
onset, or at least it was all fair to attack.
In spite of this friendly way of going on,
the fighting was marked by jhe extremest
fury on both sides, and there was never a
word of asking or taking quarter. The
Magyars hardly ever take quarter, and our
soldiers fight to the last breath rather than
give up their swords. How often have I
seen a horseman on our side or that of the
magyars, eoveren over and over Ji
blood, defending himself desperately a
gainst overwhelming odds, and letting him
self be hewed from his horse rather than
take quarter. I myself once defended my
life for near half an hour against three ex
hausted Honveds, and at last escaped only
by the vigour of my AH. The horse made
a great leap over a chasm across which
they dared not follow; it was then that he
lost his ear. I got only a slight wound on
the forehead, which would have gone deep
er had not a silk handkerchief in my sha
ko prevented it.

The Indian Outrages ia Florida.
XX. Blip 11UUI -V '-V. - -J
dated July 2S, has the following informa
tion from Florida:
By passengers on the Florida boat, ar
rived this morning, at 10 o'clock, we learn
that a further outbreak of the Indians was
uiauc ai vudiiuii a uaiuui) uu wit uii
coast, nearly simultaneous with that on
Indian River so near that the expresses
from east to west met at Tampa. .
The Indians, some fifteen or twenty in
number, came in at the trading store at
the mouth of Pease Creek, at the head of
Charlott's harbor, and inquired for Mr.
Kennedy, the principal in the establish
ment. He being absent, they killed the
clerk and another man, and wounded sev
eral others, among them women plun
dered the store, set fire to it and burned it
to the around. Thev then decamnpd with
their plunder, and drove off with them a
number of cattle.
No suspicions of hostility were enter
tained by the inhabitants, who were of
course entirely unprepared for an attack,
or for defence. An express was sent to
Tampa, and the ofijcer in command im
mediately despatched one of the two com
panies at that post to give protection" to
those of the settlers in the neighborhood of
the depredations. There. was not a' suffi
cient available force to put sue the Indians
into their recesses. . "
The express from Tampa was sent by
the citizens with despatches for Washing
ton, which met the Florida steamer "at
Palatki. The frontier is almost enlireW
deserted, as it is believed that the Indians
contemplate another -desperate tvar; " In
pom instances, at Indian -Kiver and Uhat-
lott's Harbor, when the Indians first made
their appearance,, they were perfectly
friendly, and received the hospitality of
savage manner described. .
The greatest alarm and confusion; pre
vails . among the frontier " settlers, an of
whom are abandoning their settlements
their crops, and fleeing for safety topla,
ces of security, . leaving their all in nrny
instances to the mercies of the releniess
savages. ' . . - :
We stated the number of Indian - war
riors in a former notice at two hundred
and fifty. This we believe a full esu
mate, but we are new .informed that at
Tampa and Charlotte's Harbor; the esti
mate is much larger, from five to si -hundred.
. v - i--"-"--
Mr. Kussell, who was wounded-hi" the
arm at Indian River bv the Indians, has
been obliged to have the arm amputated.
Who can now doubt that wo shall have
another Indian war. Doubiless ' the two
attacks were by concert, and although bat
few of" the Indians at either place made
their appearance, yet circumstances go to
show that there were others in reserve to
assist in case of any resistance on the part
of the whites. . 1; :
