HUNGARY.
The summary of intelligence from the
peat of War in Hungary, is oi the most
disastrous character.
The Hngarians pppear to have been
defeated at all points, and the noble cause
which they upheld at fearful odds, to have
fallen past redemption.
Precise details of the circumstances
which led to the unfortunate and unexpec
ted result, cannot be ascertained from the
accounts within our reach at present.
Part of the main facts are that the Hun-

had been left with G battalions and 8 ffuns
and 350 Cossacks to protect Hermanstaadt
had gone to Reissnekt and Luhbenback,
where he gained the victory mentioned
yesterday, over the insurgents under Gen.
Stienal,
This having been made known to Gen.
Luder by scouts, he foresaw that Bern
would fall upon Ilossford and probably
drive him into Wallachia and take pos
session of Hermanstaadt, nothing remain
- ed for him to do but pursue Bern with all
speed.
Before, however, Luder could overtake
him, he learned that Ilossford had actual
ly been attacked, and driven from his po
sition, and afier a murderous battle in Her
manstaadt, in wich he had many killed
and wounded, he had been complied to re
treat to Tolmacs.
On the 6th of August at 10 a. m., Luder
stood before Hermanstaadt, while 6 battal
ions of the enemy with 500 horse and 18
guns occupied the neighboring heights. A
considerable number of Hungarians had
been left in the city, and the remainder of
the army had gone in pursuit of Ilossford.
A battle ensued which ended in the com
plete defeat of the magyars.
The Russian cavalry put to the 6word,
such fugitives as attempted to resist.
The enemy, (the Hungarians, be it ob
served this is an Austrian account) lost
1200 prisoners, and 1-1 guns in this battle
and 600 killed and 500 wounded.
The Russians includingthe loss suffered
by Ilossford, on the 5th, lost in Killed and
wounded only 36. .
The battle of Scherrberg and Herman
staadt, produced the most dispiriting effect
upon the insurgents (Hungarians.) Many
threw down their arms sought refuge in
the woods, while others came over to the
victors.
The Vienna accounts by way of War
saw up, August lGth states that the Hun
garian Diet having surrendered their pow
ers to Gorgey, had desolved itself. A
meeting of Kossuth, Gorgey, Bern and
others, subsequently took place near Arad,
when it was determined to put an end to
tne war as sangumary and useless.
Gergey addressing the Council of War,
protested he had no hopes for the cause of
Hungary. All resistance was over, noth
ing but ruin would attend prolongation of
ine struggle.
The party in favor of continuing the
war, headed 6y Kossuth and Bern, and the
leading members of the Hungarian parlia
ment, had nothing left but to hasten to
Ossova. It is Btated that they have al
ready entered the Turkish terrttory, and it
is also stated that Mr. Kossuth carried
with him the insignia of the Hungarian
kingdom.
Gorgey surrendered to prince Paskie
witsch under the one condition, if condi
tion it can be called, that Prince Paskie
witsch should intercede with the Austrian
government for himself, his troops and his
country
A Vienna letter in the Deutche Rebere
states the number of troops that surrender
ed with Gorrrev to have been 27ftft mn
(27,000 of course) with IB guns.
From a Vienna letter in the Kalner Zie
tung it appears Kossuth intends to hold
out to the last.
The Russian papers publish the follow
ins letter from Prince Paskiewitsch to his
majesty the Czar:
"Hungary is at the feet of your Imperi

surgents have transmitted their powers to

It is reported bv some of the ardent
friends of Hungary that Gorgey had prov
ed himself a traitor, and has yieded to the
golden arguments rather than to the arms
of the Russians.

fiThe statements embodied in the fol

10 eniignien us as to tne antecedent cir
cumstances which led to what yet we can
not but look upon as the inexplicably sud
den defeat and disaster which have befal
len the cause of Hungary. A series of
letters, written by Kossuth, had come to
light. They evidently were intended to be
kept in the Magyar camp, and by what
mens they were published, we are not
informed, nor is it material to our present
purpose, which is to show, that it was in
a great measure owing to the want of uni
on amongst the Hungarians themselves.

of 80,000 florins in notes of 30 and 15
kreutzers (Is. 6d.) from Kossuth, but the
latter was only able to send him 125,000
florins in addition to the sum which he
had forwarded him from Szolnok on the
9th of the same month. Kossuth points
out to the Polish chief the difficulties of
his position, it being utterly impossible to
fabricate any notes for the moment, as it
requires 14 diys to pui up the presses
which had been taken to pieces atDebrec
zih and Pesth.
"I do all that a human being can," says
Kossuth, "but as I am not the creator, I
cannot make something out of nothing.
For a whole year no receipts, empty coff
ers when I took possession of them, and
war! At the present moment I have the
following troops to support: In Transyl

men. Add to these 18 reserve squadrons
of Hussars, 7 infantry battalions in forma
tion, 20,000 sick, 60,000 Landsturn, and
our prisoners, the powder mills, foundry,
gun, bayonet, and sabre factory, and the
whole civil administration to keep going,
and you will, Lieutenant General, confess
that the whole is no trifle. And the bank
note presses have been at a stand still for
a whole fortnight."
Kossuth also complains bitterly of the
want of harmony among the commanders
in the south, and particularly of Baud,
who refuses to acknowledge VeiJcr as his
commander, alleging that he (Bern) had
invested Perczel with the supreme com
mand in the south. Gorgey's disobedience
is also alluded to, and Bern is ardently
prayed, if Hungary is to be saved, to come
at once with his army from Transylvania,
to take the command of all the armies
which were then under IWessaros, with
Dembinsky as the chiet of his stall". A
passage in one of the letters is of the ut
most importance, as it explains Kossuth's
intentions in regard to the Danubian prin
cipalities; "Two emigrants, Bolesko and
Boliak; have offered a Wallachian legion.
Should you (Bern) making an inroad into
Wallachia, (which I should wish,) let this
legion form the advance guard, as it might
spread the report that we came as friends
and deliverers. In the proclamation it is
a point of consequence to state that we
come as friends to the Turks and Walla
chians, to free them from the Russian
yoke.
The Turks pursue an equivocal policy.
"II faut les conipromettre." Kossuth fur
ther laments that Bern has abolisned all
civil jurisdiction in Transylvania, and says.
"half the country is in flames in rese
quence. Why do you thus compromise
me, my dear Field Marshal Lieutenant?"
Kossuth states that he is very unwell.
The last letter of this most interesting
correspondence is of the 26th of July. It
is from a Hungarian major, announcing
J i
chia, which he attributes to the behavior
tne ill success oi tne iuarvars in Walla
of a certain M. Asexlan, whose naire I
have never before met with. i
The foregoing (adds the writer) will
serve to show discord reigns in the camp,
and to add to the dilemma, in which the
insurgents are. Haynau and Paskiewitsch
are, just where Kossuth and Bern should,
according to their plan of operations be.

Ths Cuban Expedition.
The following is the correspondence
between Commander Totten and the
assemblage of men at Round Island, below
Sev Orleans. The article from the Delta,
we think properly denounces it. The
letter bears date Aug. 27, and says:
l am directed by the otlicer in command
of the Naval lorces asspmhlprl in this
neighborhood, to call your attention to the
proclamation of the President of the Re
public, made with regard to ihe expedition
for which you are assembled, and I warn
you to disperse at once, or abide the cer
tain infliction of the penalty of the law.
In case you do not disperse bv Titesdau
(to-morrow) night, I am ordered to cut ojf
your supplies oj provisions, for which
purpose ample means have been supplied.
You will find it impossible to depart on
the expedition. Your steamprs will hp
captured, or sunk in the attempt, if they
are even permitted to leave New Orleans,
which is very doubtfnl.
All outlets to the Gulf are watched, and
a force is rapidly collecting round you that
you cannot dodTe.
l ou are therefore advised, as well as
warned, to disperse at once, with the sol
emn assurance that, however unpleasant
it may be to be called upon to act against
our own countrymen, our sense of duty is
so strong, that all feeling will unhesitating
ly be laid aside, and that nothing shall
deter us from carrying out the orders giv
en, in tne strictest manner.
The people on the Island through John
Haskixs, their President, replied on the
same day as follows:
In answer, we have entirely to disclaim
any intention such as embodied in the
Proclamation of the President of this Re
public, to which you have called our at
tention. We are a body of men uneyilis
ted, unarmed, and unwilling to do aught
that would in any manner compromise our
citizenship or liberty.
Circumstances may prevent our depar
ture from tliis island as early as you sug
gest, as means must be provided which
are not immediately at hand. Till such
provision is made, there will be no attempt
to transport to us further supplies.
From ihe New Orleans Delta,
The Round Island Blockade and Outrage.
There is no doubt in the minds of our
citizens, that Lieut. Totten has greatly
exceeded his powers, exceeded them in
the most offensive and unbecoming man
ner, invaded the rights of citizens and the
just preogatives of the civil power. Our
army and naval officers are usually very
prudent and guarded in the exercise of any
coercive measure towards citizens. It is
right that they should be so, for our people
view all their movements with jealous
scrutiny, not to say suspicion. This dis
cretion on one hand, and vigilance on ihe
other, have had a visible influence in disci
plining our regular forces to a degree of
caution in matters calculated to bring them
in collision with citizens, that has seldom
involved them in any difficulties or con
flicts with the civil power. Rarely has it
happened that so hiffh-handed a measure
ever was attempted by any
military au- ;
thority in this country, as that threatened,
and in part executed, by the commander
of the Water Witch.
What are the facts? Some three or
four hundred citizens are encamped on
Round Island. Most of them went from
this city. Their purpose may be lawful
or unlawful. It may be peaceful emigra
tion and colonization of California or Mos-
nnitta. nr it mav be an armed invasion of
Cuba, or of what the President's procla
mation calls "the provinces" of Mexico.
The stTiple fact of such an assemblage is
no proof of its imlawful intent. The gov
rmmont ha not the sl'VIitest control ovei
eminent has not the slightest control over
such an assemblage until it manifests an
illegal intent, and when that happens, li is
required by an act of Congress to proceed
to have such parties arrested and dealt
with according to law. The only law that
can apply to the men on Round Island is
the act of Congress which makes it crimi
nal and punishable for any citizens or
other persons to organize armed expedi
tions in any part of the United States, for
the purpose of invading a friendly nation.
It is under this law President Taylor has
issued his proclamation, and under that
proclamation Lieut. Totten surrounds and
cuts off the supplies of an unarmed, unor
ganized assemblage of citizens, collected
on an island but three miles from the shore,
and within the jurisdiction of the State of
Mississippi. Were it even a doubtful
question whether these men came within
the meaning of the act of Congress and the
Presidents proclamation, we should view
it as a great usurpation, on the part of the
commander of the Water Witch, or of any
other naval vessel, to undertake the deci
sion of a purely legal, judicial question
one which ought to be tried before the
courts of the State of Mississippi, either
the Federal or State Courts, and not on the
decks of our vessels. We are not exactly
prepared to substitute the blue jackets for
the ermine, and ooaraing pises lor tne
w i viiuiuvy q j .w- -w
mace of justice. Our naval officers are at
present a branch of the Executive, not of
the judicial power. J heir duty is not to
interpret laws, but to obey orders.
There can, theiefore, be no doubt that
Lieut. Totten, in ordering the men on
Round Island to disperse, and in cutting
off their supplies, has committed a serious
violation of law, and a trespass upon the
rights of citizens, for which he is amena
ble to the courts of Mississippi. If he
attempts to execute either threat if, by
force or menaces, he disperses the assem
blage, or consummates his audacious threat
of stopping the free passage of vessels to
and from Round Island, we trust that there
is vigor enough in the law, and firmness
enough in the magistracy of Mississippi,
to resent and punish such an invasion of
State sovereignty. A constable's warrant,
for trespass and breach of the peace, would
be the most appropriate response to such
an outrage.
If the men on Round Island are there
in contravention of the law, are there not
courts of justice in the vicinity, which can
pursue and punish them? Is there not a
United States District Court, District At
torneys, Magistrates, United Stales Com-
mssioners, and otner competent judicial
onicers, who, without threats or menaces,
without the insulting display of Paixhan
guns and boarding pikes, but by the sim
ple magic of that little potent instrument,
a maffistrate's writ, can arrest the law ess
purpose, detain the wrong doers, secure
the ends of justice, and preserve the digni
ty of the State?
The Round Island expedition may, for
all we know, be a very insignificant body
of men; but this is no justification for an
invasion of their rights, and a gross inter
ference, on the part of the military, with
the civil power. What we say, therefore,
proceeds from no sympathy with the
Round Islanders, of whose intents we are
p:o!oundly ignorant, but from a deep hos
tility to every form of oppression, and
every interference with the rights of citi
zens and the supremacy of the civil pow
er.
The New York Courier, of yesterday,
says:
We staled yesterday, that the Sea Gull
had gone to sea, no evidence having been
discovered sufficient to warrant her deten
tion. Private information from Washing
ton leads us to believe that facts in regard
to her have been made known there, which
have not transpired here. We were as
sured that orders had been given for her
detention, by letter from the Department
in that city but by whom they were re
ceived we are not aware. The Sea Gull,
it seems, has been lying at quarantine
since Saturday last. Yesterday afternoon
the steamer Duncan C. Pitt, with the
Marshal and a company of U. S. marines
from the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, went down

of the North Carolina.
A meeting of four or five hundred per
sons mostly young men and many mere
lads was held last evening at Lafayette
Hall. It was private, none being allowed
to enter "whose names were not on the
roll." It seemed to be understood, how
ever, that the persons enrolled were en
listed in the Cuban expedition. We were
told, also, that the company was full, that
no more would be received, and that those
enlisted would leave this city within a few
days.

The Key Abductiou Case.
An intense excitement was created yes
terday by the arrival of the brig Salvador,
Capt. Evans, bringing over the person of
Juan Irancisco, the man who was abduc
ted from this city by the Spanish Consul
and his emissaries.
Shortly after the arrival of the brig here
Dr. Gage placed Rey in charge of E. A.
Bradford, Esq., acting United fctates Dis
trict Attorney, in the absence of Mr. Hun
ton. Mr. Bradford thereupon informed
Commissioner Cohen that he should re
quire Rey as a witness on the trial of Car
los de Espana, in the United States Cir
cuit Court, and that he must be placed un
der recognizance. Rey also stated to the
Commissioner that he wras fearful of as
sassination, at the hands of some of the
agents of the Spanish government in this
city, unless he could he placed under some
secure protection. Thereupon he was
committed to the care of the United States
Maishal, Col. Scott, who delivered him
over to Gen. Lewis, and he is now in safe
custody of the Shiriff and Deputy Colonel
Powers. During the short interview be
tween Mr. Bradford and Commissioner
Cohen, a large crowd was assembled in
the street, which appeared to be intensely
excited. When Rey was seen coming
out, in charge of Gen. Lewis and Marshal
Scott, three hurras were given by the ex
cited people , to the American flag three
more to our Consul at Havana. The
strongest expressions of pleasure, pride and
satisfaction, were loudly proclaimed in ev
ery direction, by our citizens, on the tri
umph of right, justice and national dignity
in the delivery of a man. who was so ne
fariously abducted from our soil.
Riy unhesitatingly declared that he
was forcibly taken out of our city.
His relation fully confirms all the facts,
proved on the trial before Justice Bright
and Commissioner Cohen, and explains
sundry points which were not considered
clear in the testimony. He also swears to
much brutal treatment on board of the Ma
ry Ellen, on his passage to Havana. .
Fiora the Correspondence of the Delta dated

It gives'satisfaetion to all American res
idents, that the American Consul, General

A New York letter in the Philadelphia
Inquirer has the following statement:
"It has just been discovered that one of
the most perfect systems of espionage ever
adopted, has been established in this coun
try recently, by the Governor General of
Cuba. It seems that he has his agents
and spies in every city on the Atlantic
coast, for the purpose of eaves-dropping,
and hearing the sentiments of the numer
ous Cubans who usually visit the United
States and spend a portion of the Summer
here. I could name a hotel in which are
three of those gentlemen. It is further
said, that several young Spaniards, who
incautiously divulged their real sentiments
concerning the political condition of Cuba
and expressed a wish that that Island
should be annexed to the United States,
have been warned by their re'atives and
f.iands not to rttirn, for punishment
awaited them as soon as they landed. It
is to be hoped that those fellows will be
discovered and driven out of the city.
They need onlr to be known to the pro
prietors of the hotels where they stop, to
be served with marching orders. I think
it probable that I will have more to say on
this subject in a subsequent letter."
Andy Slcwan for ihe Snb-Trcasnry-Wonders
never cease! While the prom
inent Whigs throughout the country have
taken a stand in opposition to the Sub
Treasury Andrew Stewart has come out
decidedly in favor of that measure. The
Waynesburg Messenger gives the follow
ing account of Mr. Stewart's speech at a
late Whig meeting in Greene county.
The honorable srentleman rose to his'
feet, and after much hemming and hawing
declared that he did not know what to
say he did not know ivhere to begin.
Afier a confusion and floundering that
seemed perfectly agonizing to himself and
hearers, the speaker made out to declare
that he was a "no party man" and that
he was in favor of some of the great mea
sures belonging to both parties. But he
took his Whig friends all aback by declar
ing that he was in favor of the Indepen
dent Treasury one of the favorite mea
sures of the Democratic party that it was
a good measure, and the only one that
could make the public moneys secure
that the State Banks would not answerthe
purpose and a National Bank was un
necessary and unconstitutional. Mr. Stew
art even declared thai he ivas always in
favor of the Independent Treasury, and,
as it fearing tha his hearers would not
credit this part of his declarations, he at-
tested it with his old stereotyped affirms
tion of "so help me God."
