The news which we publish to-day, seven days later, does not add much to the solution of the great struggle in Europe—but still it is interesting | as far as it goes. In Hungary, the deep interest of the drama is still active—not forgetting the heroic defence of Venice against Austria—a defence worthy of her historic days. The light of freedom ip extinguished all over Italy, except the flickerings which rise up among the lagunes of the Adri- atie. France is more and more uniting with the eld policy of Europe—putting down liberty and getting deeper in debt. England is buying and selling as usual—making the most of all changes | and chances. It is of Hungary that every enquiry ia made. The arrival of every mail steamer from Kurope, brings us fresh intelligence of the Hun- garian arms; every European newspaper unfolds to us the detailed accounts of new engagements, which redound tothe honor and bravery of the Hangarians, while pnly shameful discomfiture accrues to the arms, and infamy adorns the ban- ners of their inveterate foes. Let us look back a few months:—Austria, at first emboldened by the partial defeat of the Hunga- Tians, persisted in the determination to follow up the war she had so unjustly commenced, to the utter aanihilation of every revolutionary and refractory spirit. However, success did not long favor her enterprises ; the wheel of fortune turned, and ere Jong victory was emblazoned on the unfurled standard of independence. Fierce were the bat- tles, and sanguinary the conflicts in which Austria ‘was engaged, to regain her ascendency of power and control; but in general they terminated in the deterioration and dishonor of her own country. At the issue of many ineffectual encounters, and fruitless efforts, she at length began to perceive her impotence and incapacity ot eflecting the subjuga- ion of Hungary. Loath and unwilling, however, t> see with so much ehame and dishonor, the brightest gem of her imperial crown thus remorse- | lessly wrested from her convulsive grasp, she had recourse to the most despicable of all expedients— the expedient of soliciting the aid of the northern despot, the Czar of Russia. He, noted for his fore- a politician, bis abilities in military tac- thee, as well as his astounding capacity as a di- plomatist—perceived that amidst the dethrone- ment of sovereigns, and the subversion of their thrones, imminent danger was impending from the gloomy horizen of political affairs. ening appearance of circumstances he ultimitely arrived at the fulland firm conviction that, should the torrent of revolution not be stemmed, his own empire might parteke of its contagious spirit; he saw with a perspicuity and discrimination which is in general characteristic of his actions, that the victory of the Hungarians over the arms of Austria would prove the death-blow to despotism, and would shatter the tottering columns upon which was propped his gorgeous throne, and rested the sway of his ponderous sceptre. With such considerations in view, he, of course, readi- ly concurred in the solicitation of his ally. We then beheld Russia vomitiog forth from ber sterile bosom, and from the dreary recesses of her inacceseable mountains, innumerable hords of savage barbarians; we saw her hardy legions in- undating the fertile plains, and her death-spread- ing ordnance pianted before the opulent cities of | Hungary. Here we witnessed the union of two of the mightiest empires, and the coalition of their immense and overpowering armies, destined for the base purpose of crushing the unsubmissive and mdomitable sprit of Hungary, which, if brought into comparison with the power of her opponents, and the magnitude of their territories, dwindles in- | to otter insignificance. To compel her to submit to the arbitrary eceptre of Austria, were these armies marshalled in pompous array under their respec- thve banners.” Imposing, indeed, must have been the dieplay of these two vast armies, and formida- ble the sight of their majestic tront. What a fear- ful eontrast did not the studded files of these pro- digious forces present to the extenaated ranks of the brave Hungarians. Yet disheartening as was appalling the disparity, Hungary rallied her few, but spirited troops, and with an unflinching reso- lution and ed courage, determined to stand m Opposition to the overwhelming force of her enemies, to vindicate her indisputable rights, even at the eacrifice of her noble citizens, and if possi- ble to repel the aggression of her invaders. After many alternate defeate and losses, the balance of success seems at length tolean on the side of Hungary; for, according to the latest intelligence, eireumetances are decidedly in her favor. Her Generale, Georgey and Dembinski, have, in the North, eueceeded in breaking through the line of operations of the Austro-Russian army. We also | bearn that a fierce and sanguinary battle ensued in the vieinity of Waitzen, where the incessant clan- gour of arms,and the mighty thunder of the eannon resounded for upwards of three successive days; which conflict, however, ended without any deci- sive victory on either side. We are also informed of the defeat of the Russian forces under General Ladere, near Fegaras, and of the capture of iis witz, by General Bem. We are further acquainted with the complete vietory the Hungarians have gained over the Ban of Crotia, who, with the shat- tered remains of his army, has fled towards Sem lin. The latest news is aleo favorable. Now, amidst the catastrophes of fermentation, sevolt, insurrection, and revolution, which have of late agitated the entre of continental Earope ; amidst the direful ecenes of anarchy, bloodshed At this threat. | and ¢arnage, which have laid waste her cites, vil- ages, and plains—the question naturally suggests itself, to a reflecting and inquiring mind, how did it come te pass that Hungary has been so success ful in contesting every inch of the battle-field for such a long space of time, while the insurrections in her immediate neighborhood, in Germany, have been suppressed as fast, I may say, as they were called into existence? ‘The reasons that have incensed each nation to revolt, and the mo- tives that have actuated them to submit the desti- nies of their people to the arbitration of the sword, bore the stamp of a very dissimilar character, and, of course, paved the way to very different results. In Baden, Rhein-Bavaria, and other parts of Ger- many, where revolution had assumed the decided form of anarchy, who were the first instigators of the people?’ They were generally those who had imbibed the false doctrines of the revolutionary propeganda at Paris, whose missionaries are sca’- tered over the four quarters of the globe, whose immediate aim is excitement, but ultimately the usurpation of power. Such, then, were the men who first harangued the people in the open streets, and who, by their inflammatory speeches, found many by whom they were countenanced. The predominant portion, however, of their proselytes, were of the number of those who, in the overthrow of order, had nothing to lose, but every prospect of gain. But the industrious citizen and the peaceful cottager, wlio were indeed anxious for the allevia- tion of some grievances, but never meditated the dethronement of their sovereign, did not in general join their number. Thus, the cause which the insurrectionists had espoused was not aided or supported by the people, and hence is accountable the facility with which they were subsequently subdued. In Hungary, on the other hand, aflairs bore an aspect of material difference. Here it was the en- croachment on her sacred nghts and her indispu- table privileges that provoked the anger and aroused the indignation of her generous people. Here, it was the hard yoke of the iron rod of des- potism, that made her abhor the thought of passive submission —here, it was the frequent violation of the conditions on which she formed an allegiance with Austria, that at last determined her to take up arms against the oppressor. Was this movement, then, as was the ease in Germany, the resolution of a small part of the people, or was it confined to certain districts of the kingdom ? No! it wasa national movement, and embraced the entire kingdom to its uttermost boundaries. The outrageous conduct of the Austrian goverament fired the whole nation ; and revolt was, therefore, the unanimous cry of the people. It was the love Gt their country, that matured the resolution te ae execuuon, and the fire ot patriotic enthu- fiasm that hurned them amidst the yells of exul- tation, to the horrors of “war's fatal plain.” This love of their country, this fire of enthusiasm per- vaded all ranks; its thrillmg influence extended from the highest magistrate down to the lowest menial. Marvellous have been always the effects of patriotism, of which the gallant Hungarians have again bore ample testimony. While, at the conjunction of the Austro-Russian armies, the whole world despaired of the success of Hungary, she, with a consciousness of the justice of her cuuse, never withdrew, shrunk or recoiled from an encounter ; but, on the contrary, displayed an eagerness of manifesting the resolute spirit that animated her soldiers, and the strength that layin herarms. She now stands as the wonder and astonishment of the civilized world; and, taking into consideration the overwhelming power on the one side, and the great inferiority in num- ber on the other, we may assert, without the slightest hesitation, that never has a nation fur- nished the annals of her country with such in- stances of bravery, such feats of heroism, and such wonders of bold determination. No marvel, then, that we witness every nation expressing her sympathy im the cause of Hungary, and exulting in her succees. May heaven, who all along seems propitieusly to smile on their arms, while a fearful scourge is mowing down the ranks of the Russian army in hundreds—may heaven crown their heroic achievements with the never-tading laurels of a final and decisive victory. Tue New Disteict Atroxney—Practices or us Orrice —We find, in a merning paper of yes- terday, a curious statement descriptive of a new mode of levying legal black mail, as it may, with great propriety be called, which prevails in the of- fice of the new United States District Attorney, which is one of the most carious things, of the kind, that we have seen for a number of years past. to bepainted in white letters on black ground—the letters to be of certain dimensions. fifty, and in the other, twenty dollars. [n course of time, however, steam, as a means of propelling | vessels, was discovered and applied, and a new claes of vessels, called steamboats, were built, on which, ever since, the names have been painted on the sides rge letters, sometimes of gold, and sometimes of paint. It is clear that this old act of craft were not in existence“at the time when it was passed; and ps far as that description of ves- sels is concerned, it has always remained a dead to revive this old law, and tor that purpose has fined the owners of several steamboats for not having complied with this provision of an an’ quated act of Congress; and this, too, he is doing rated by the Senate of the United States, and we hope it will not. | vestigate it. It is well known that Mr. Hall made only one Every simile of the first. He is now so elated with his appointment as District Attorney, that he is not eatisfied with his regular legal salary, but is ¢: teading the influence of his position to his advi- eers and satellites, by giving them permits from his office to levy black mail under an old law pass- | edin the year 1792, and compelling the owners of steamboats, which that ordinance never applied to, to comply with its provisions, and pay penalties varying from twenty to fifty dollars in each case. Indeed, Mr. Hall has made a great deal of fuse in his new office. His ambition was excited by his appointment, ond the first thing he attempted, was to dictate to the President who should be appoii ed to an important foreign mission. He according- ly went to Washington to urge on the President om the appointment of an incompetent and improper ; or bail in $600. by pereon for that high diplomatic station.— Very properly, the President intimated to the | Appointment | new District Attorney that the to the mitsion referred to belonged to him, not to distriet attorneys; and that he, Mr. Hall, had better return to New York and attend to his owa duties, and not interfere with what did not con- | cern him. This is the way in which he attends to his duties, by sanctioning, in connection with his office, exactions on the steamboat interests, and countenancing such ridiculous attempts to levy | bleck-meil on that branch of the business of the city. We hope that the whole subject will be brought before the next Senate, and that they will fally in- ‘We are perfectly satisfied that that body will not fail to inquire into the matter, and thet when Mr. Prescott Hall’s nomination comes before them, they will not confirm it, but that they will turn him out of the office which he now holds.

This is owing to the clearness of the atmosphere and the improvement in the weather, which have marked the past ten or twelve days. In fact the city, at no period of the year, has been more healthy than it is at present; but notwith- standing this, the Board of Health and their ad- visers continue to issue their daily report of deaths by cholera, one half of which occur from other causes, principally common cholera morbus and dysentery. In fact, the whole conduct of the Board of Health since the breaking out of the epi- demic, has been reprehensible, and it is especially so now, The reports which they publish daily, are scattered over the whole country, and are pre- judicial to the business interests of New York wherever they go, causing damage of great magni- tude to our commerce and trading interests. The Board of Health, ignorant of this, imagine that they are performing nothing but their ordinary duty in issuing such ridiculous reports as daily emanate trom them, while they cannot comprehend the vast damage which they are doing tothe city. It is full time that they stopped the work. ‘The city is healthy enough—as much as it was at any former period—and there is no further use for them. The Progress of the Choicra. IN THIS CITY.

Last evening, in the ladies’ saloon of the Shakspeare Hotel, was held a meeting of the Committee of all Na- tions. Mr. Jacob Windmuller presiding. Mr. Augustus Kruer, the Seeretary, stated that most of the important and influential men of the eity had signified their inten- tion to be present, and read letters strongly eympa- thizing with the brave Hungarians. The question for diseussion was whether any flags, or what flags, should be displayed at the meeting. There were three courses warmly urged by different members. One main- tained that there ought to be no flag, but the Ameri- can, at the meeting, as there would be a jealousy if all the flags of the other uatiens, to whieh the sympa- thizers belonged, were not exhibited; and there was an objection to some of these flags being used, as they late- ly were for purposes of tyranny. The French flag had been wsed to put down the young republic of Rome, and it would be used ogainst the Hungarians, too, if they were near enough to Louis Napoleon; while the German fag now used by a tyrant against the lib- erties of ‘This argument was used by a German A Polish gentleman replicd that it was no reason because ® humbug King misused the German flag that they should not use it for a good purpee.— ‘There was no stuin on it; mor were the French people to blume for the acts of the bastard who called himself & Napoleon General Wacenince here rose and said that if a stran- ger might take the liberty of making @ suggestion, he weuidofferone Jt was this :—That theCommonCoun- cil should be akked permission to unfurl the Hun- gurian with the United States flagfrom the City Hall, on Monday; and that any other nationalities who chose to bring # flag to the meeting might do soon their wha pesponsi billig.
