2 logons of France. The most horrible atrocities were Dow committed by the victors on the vanquished, Forty-one towns and villages, containing 7,000 houses, wore burned, Desides three others in another direction. In the last battle, near Brixen, where tho wife fought by the side of | her husband, and the maiden beside her father or be- trothed, 350 women were cut down by the cavalry, All the patriots who survived were dolivered over to the military tribunals and condemned to be shot. The hero’ ‘Hofer was scizod in his hut and oepducted barefooted through the snow to Mantua, and was there shot, parsi ‘fant to the sentence of @ military tribuaal, om the 24th of February, 1810, He refused to lot his eyes be covered when ied to execution, aad died as besamo # boro and & patriot, rejotoing that he had done bis duty. By the Con. gress of Vienva, in 1815, the Tyrol and Voralberg were reloased from their hated subjection to the Bavarian yoko, and returned to their former sovereign, the Emperor of | Austria. In 1848 all the passes that could lead from the fyrol into the vallies of the Adda, the Oglio and Chivee, had been occupied by the insurgents of Lombardy against | ‘Austria. The territory of Milan and Brescia had not only been made safe by the first free corps, but, pursuing their advantage, and aided by the good will of the Italian | Tyrolete, those gallant adventurers bad carried their conquests far into the territory which German Austria, as well as the German Confederacy, claimed as their own, The Milanese volunteers had been but coldly sup- ported. Charles Albert suffered the threats of the Frank- fort Diet and the warnings of diplomacy to interfere | with the natural and inevitable course_of his warlike en- terprise. Messengers pretending to act in the name of the German Confederacy came to his camp with threats Of hostility on the part of Germany if the Piedmontese should venture on the German soil of Italian Tyrol. The Sardinian King first faltered, and finally succumbed, and thus the cause was lost. What gives Verona its creat importance is its situation ‘at the foot of the precipitous Tyrol, the entrance of whose pass it commands, and at the same time defends the Adige. Verona is surrounded by a series of turroted walls, ‘and its fortifications, since 1832, have been made very strong. It will be neceesary to reduce this before Venetia is conquered by the alliee; but after that the conquest is easy. It is for this place that the siege train on board the Hieet at Toulon is destined, Toe ships were ready to sail according to late intelgence BRILLIANT OPERATIONS OF NAPOLEON IL. IN THE ROL. LOW BONAPARTE GOT POSSESSION OF VERONA—HIS OPINION OF THE PO AND THE ADIGE AS LINES OF DEFENCE—WURMSER OUTGENBRALLED AND UTTER- LY ROUTED IN THE PASSES OF THE T¥ BOL—CUKLOUS, WAY OF CONCEALING a DESPATCH—TH8 SURKEN- DER OF MANTUA—BONAPARTE’S SAGACITY AND GENEROSITY—BIS MODE OF DEALING WITH THE FAULTS OF HIS TROOPS. When the first Bonaparte, in 1796, crossed the Mincio at Borghetto, where be so pressed the Austrians after defeat- ing (hem that they had not time to break down the bridge, he became master of Pescniera, which was evacuated by the enemy so soon as they knew what he had accom plished. The republic of Venice, which then held Verona and was temporizing between the two belligerents, sent ‘ambassadors to meet him, in order to dissuade him from entering the city, and these messengers, in fact, intimated that the Venetian government would not permit either of the armies to occupy it. Bonaparte retorted by observing that Venice bad permitted the Austrians to occupy Pes- chiera, by which he was compelled to sacrifice many men in crossing the Mincio, and he was resolved to take Verona by storm unless it was surrendered in twenty four hours, ‘He added that he must have the line of the Adige, because ‘it was the best to defend Italy, and the republic of Venice ‘was incapable of defending it. He had come to drive the Austrians beyond the Alpe—perbaps to constitute Lom. ‘bardy an independent State. The two Venetians report- ed the result of their interview with Napoleon, and ad. vised the surrender of Verona. That was immediately done, and Bonaparte was thus at length master of the line of the Adige to which he attached so much importance. Unlike ordinary generals, who do not leave fortresses in their rear, he left Mantua, on the Mincio, behind him, but with a sufficient force, not to take it, but to keep its garr!. son in check till he had leisure to retarn. He attributed ail the blunders committed by the French in the ancient campaigns in Italy to the injudicious choice of the defensive line. Lines are numerous in Upper Italy, for a multitude of rivers run from the Alps. The largest and most celebrated of them, the Po, which traverses all Lombardy, was in his opinion bad, as being woo extensive. An army could not guard a stream fifty leagues in length. A feint might always open the passage of a large river. Ho had him” elf crossed the Po a few leagues from Beaulieu, who was in occupation of Peschiera, upon which Napo eon directed Afeint. The other rivers, such as the Ticino, the Adda, the Ogtio, falling into the Po, mingled with it, and had the same inc@nveniences. fhe Mincio was fordable, and besides, that river also fall into the Po. hz Adige alane, coming from the Tyrol, and running to the sea, cowred all Ztaly. It was deep, and had only one channel, #ich from ‘the mountains to the sea was short. It was covered by two fortified places—Verona and Porto Leguego, which were very near each other. Below Legnago the Adige traversed impassable morssses, which covered the iower part of its course. The rivers farthor on, such as tae the Brents, the Piave, and the Tagliamento, were ford- able, and besides, were tarned by the high 1oa1 from the Tyrol, which debouched behind them. Th: Adige had the advantage of being placed at the outlet of that road which runs through its own valley. Such were the Teasone that decided Bonaparte in favor of that line, ani his immortal campaign has demonstrated the accuracy of his judgment. Not content with the victories he had won,and with driving the Austrians out of the plains into the Tyrol, be determined to utterly rum the Austrian army, that be might be free to execute his plans in Italy. Wurmser destroyed, the republican chief could pusa as tac ag Trieste, ruin that port, so important for Auatria, then re tire to the Adige, give law to Venice, Rome and Naples, and at length throw out the eignal of liberty in Italy by constituting Lombardy, the Legations of Bologna and Fer- rara, with the Duchy of Modena, an indepen jen republic He resolved, in order to accomplish theee plans, to ascend from the plains of Mantua into the Tyrol, expect. ing to be supported by the proaence of Moreau on the other slope of the Tyrolean Alps. With tho Tyroless, ‘Wurmeer bad in all sbout 60,000 men; Napoleoa 28,000. ‘Wurmeer, expecting Bonaparte to follow him into the Tyrol, Jett 20,000 under Davidovioh, to guard it, aud with 30,000 he proceeded to descend by the valicy of the Breuta on the eastern side, £0 as to take the French iu the rear aud hem ‘them into the defiles, where they would be aa easy prey. With that rare ssgacity which always distioguishad Na_ poleon, he divined the intention of Wurmser. Having left 3,000 men at Verona and 8,000 before Mantua, he ascended with 28,000 by all the three roads of the Tyrol—that which runs bebind the lake of Garda and the two which border the Adige. The two divistons which proceeded on each wide of the Adige united, after some bard fighting on the game bank, by crossing the bridge of Golo, and fougat au advanced guard action at Seravalle. They had now to make their way up narrow and deep valley. On their jeft band they bad tbe Adige, on their right lofty moun, tains. In many places the river, running cloze to the foot of the moantains, left only the breadth of the road, aud thus formed frightful defiles to pass, At length the French and Austrians found themselves in the presence of each other in the deiie of San Marco. Bonaparte’s mind, instantly grasping the na ture of the tactics accordant with the locality, formed two corps of light infantry, and distributed them on the right nd left om the surrounding heights. afier ne had hharrassed the Austrians for some time with these two corps, he ordered Victor, with a demi-brigate, to force this way through the defile in close columas by battalioas. A fierce conflict ensued, but the action was decided by a charge of French hbussars. The Austrians retreatea to Roveredo, o league distaat, Bonaparte sent atorce by a Wircuitous route beyond the town, while another charged Turiously in front. The position was carried, and the Austrians again defeated. fhe Freach division whica Becended behind the Lake of Garda now came ™P, afer defeating an Austrian division posted im the camp of Mori to guard thst route, Hous all three French divisions were now united on both Danks of the river at (Ds ask was yet to be Roveredo, But the most dullcult the mountai ‘was surmounted with artillery, the same tactics by whieh he haa ns with the river, and Bonaparte, persiating in carried the other defile, | Austrians had posted themselves, with the Tyrol at their | garded by all military men asthe best chief of all milita- own @ vertical fire upon the enemy; others, not leas in- trepid, glided along the river, venturing wherever thoy could find footing, and turned the fort of Pistra, A Dattery ot light artillery was brought to bear upon it, which resulted in its capture. The reat of the army thea. passed through it, and advanced in close column upon the Austriaws, who, harragsed by the French troops on the heighie, and crowded together in the dofile, artillery, cavalry and infantry intermingled, fled in frightful dis order, An aide de-camp of Napoleon, at the head of tity huesars, dasbed through the length of the whole mass, and turning round, stopped the fugitives, Th s left the French masters of the defiles of the Tyrol, the town of Roveredo, the whole of the Austrian artillery and four thousand prisoners, exclusive of killed and wovnded, But Napoleon had only half his work done. Wurmeer, with his thirty thousand men, was still intact, and was on his way to the plains of Italy, Two days before he had ‘set out from Trent, and would probably by this time have reached Barsaro, Bonaparte had surprised him at the moment when he was marching to exscute his plan, but that did not divert him from his purpose. On the con- trary, thinking the French had entered the Tyrol to com. municate with Germany, he wag the more confirmed in him resolution to descend by the Brenta, in order to pos- seas himself of tho line of the Adige during their absence. He even hoped by means of this rapid cirouit, which would bring him to Verona, to enclose the French in the upper valley of the Adige, and at once envelope them and cut them off from Mantua, Bonaparte, perceiving his in tention, formed one of the boldest of enterprises. Ho left Vaubois with @ division to guard the Tyrol, and ho hastened himself through the narrow passes of tho Brenta after Wurmeer, He could not take with him more than 20,000 against Wurmser’s 30,000, but he considered 20,000 French in bis hands wero as good as 30,000 ia the bands of the old Austrian general. It was a perilous undertaking. He might be cooped up in these frigbtful gorges if Warmeer should make head against him; he might also come too late to fall upou the rear of Wurmser, and the latter might have time to force the Adige, But he reasoned thus: if Warmser opposed him ‘and attempted to ahut him up in the gorges, ho would cut his way through his army; if he had twenty leagues to 69, be could perform the distance ia two days and reaca the plain as svon as Wermeer ; he would then drive bim beck either upon Trieste or the Adige. If he drove him upon Trieste, he would pursue him and burn that port before his face; if he drove him upon the Adige, he would thus hem him in between hia army and the river, and envelope the enemy who thought to catch him in the narrow passes of the Tyrol. The young French general had to cope with a brave old yeteran, but his conceptions were as quick ag lightaing. He ordered Vaubois on the very day of his arrival in Trent to take that position from the rearguard of Davidovich. He made Vaubois execute this order before his face, pointed out the position which he was to occupy, and dashed down the gorges of the Brenta himself with his twenty thousand, The firet deflle be met was the Primolano, where Wurmser had placed a aivision. Bonaparte employed the same tactics as before, and succeeded in taking it, together with a fort at the other end, which he surrounded and carried. Threethou- sand prisoners were taken here. Bonaparte arrived in evening at Cismona, after marching twenty leagues in two days. He had distanced his headquarters, and had neither attendance nor food. He got a piece of bread from one of his soldiers, and laid down to wait for the morrow. When Wurmser learned he was at his heels he was amazed; he could never have imagined that 80 good a general would get into those narrow pesses at the risk of being shut up. The Austrian general ventured to avail himself of the position of Bassano, which ebut them in, and to stop the passage with his entire ray. Sbould be succeed in this, Bonaparte would be taken in the bend of the Brenta. A division which he had gent forward to reconnoltre Verona was now recalled that he might engage with all his forces, The town of Bassano is situated on the left, or eastern bank of the Brenta. It communicates with the right bya bridge, ‘Warmser placed two divisions on the two banks, in ad- vance of the town. He posted six battalions asan ad. vanced guard, in the defiles which precede Basano and clove the valley. Next morning Bonaparte advanced on this position, with half his troops on either bank of the river. He carried the defiles and debouched close in front of the enemy’s army. Wurmser’s troops, disconcerted by the extreme boldness of the French, did not defend themselves with their usual courage. They gave way and were broken. Augereau’s divigion now presented itself at the entrance of the town, whe Mas. sena’s division, on the other bank of the river, carried the bridge in close column, as Lodi was carried, and made his entry at the game time with Augercau. Wurmser had ecarcely time to save himself by flight, leaving behind him 4,000 prisoners and an immense ordnance. He was now rejoined by the division which he had sent on to recon- noitre Verona, and which found it impregnable. He had mm all 14,000 men, of whom 8,000 were infantry and 6,000 excellent cavalry. Bovaparte’s plan was carried into ef- tect. He had debouched into the plain as soon as Wurm. ser, and it was now bis business to surround bim by | driving him against the Adige. Luckity for Wurmser, ‘post which guarded Legnago had been removed to Ve- rona, and a detachment which ought to have come and kept the place bad not arrived. Wurmser thus escaped over the bridge, and hastened to Mantua, which he reach- | ed in despite of all the efforts of Napoleon, who was en- woged at the neglect which allowed his prey to escape. Wurmser, however, and 20,000 of his troops, were be- vieged in Mantua, from which they could not be delivered. | Four attempts bad been made in vaia by a new Austrian army to relieve them. They were reduced to the neces- exty of killug, Salting snd eating their horses for food. When the garrison could no longer hold out Wurmser made a proposition to Serrurier, one of Napoleon’s gene- yale, to capitulate. But the French general replied he could not do go till be consulted Napoleon, who was at some Gistance, Bonaparte was sent for, and on hisarriyalfound | Kienau, the austrian aid de-camp, expatiating with Ser- rurier on Wurmeer’s means of holding out, and of his great stores of provisions. Wrapped in his cloak, near the fre, Napoleon, unperceived, listened to the conversa. tion. When it was concluded he took up his pen and wrote on the margin his answer to all the propositions of Wurmeer, ana then said to Kienaa: “If Wurmser had even provisions for fifteen days, and spoke of surrender- | ing, he would not have merited an honorable capitulati but as he bas gent you, he must be reduced to extremi- ties; but I reepect his age, his valor and his misfortunes, Bere are the conaitions which I offer hinfflt he surrender to-morrow. Should be delay a fortnight, a@nonth er two months, he shall bave the same conditions.” The aid-de- camp, finding he was in the presence of Napoleon, and seeing that it was useless to dissemble, confeesed that they had only provisions left for three days. The terms Of capitulation were immediately agreed to. A spy from Vienna had been previously seized under the very walle of Mantua with an important despatch.

Hungarian, Polieh and German refugees, pouriag in from all si¥ es—from Malta, from England and the Ioni- n Islands, from Turkey and Egypt, and even (rom thein- terior of Agia, and from our cis-Atlantic shores—will fill up rapidly the ranks ot the corps of Kiapka, and we will have in some weeks the curious spoctacte to see under the banner of the French autocrat two rovolationary armies— the army of Garibaldi aud that of Klapka, It is not diffl. cult, even for those who are not acquainted with the ao- cret agreement between the Hungarian leader anil the French Emperor, to foresee the scene on which this last army or corps d’armée is destined to avt. Being gatber- ed and gathering at Genoa, a seaport not too far from the great French naval station at Toulon or Marsoilles, a Freneh flzet of steamers can and may carry it in some days to the eastern shore of the Adriatic, to be Maded in the noighborhood of Fiume or Cattaro, on tha frontiers of Hungary. The Austrians fear #0 much such ‘“atrateg ical diversion” that they are already, since several weeks, bu- sily occupied fortifying all positions and p!aces on the [)slma- tian coast where a descent of the Franch can be effected. A correspondent of the Cologne Gazate writes, that travelling from Cattaro to Fiume, and thence to Trieste, he found all the coast along literally covered with Austrian engineers, with soldiers and workmen, digging and arranging strand batteries on every somowhat oxposed point, and fortity- ing all old castles, all old Roman rains--so numerous and £0 grand in this picturesque country—ani all towas, bo- roughs and hamlets along the coast. We are therefure eatitled to suppose that we will soon have a second thea: tre of war, the curtain of which will be drawn up suddev- Y, to the astonishment of the stupifled world. ‘Therefore, anticipating the events, and convince: that, under all circumstances, Klapka will play an eminent role in the bloody war drama now going on, we beileve our readers will be obliged by A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OP GEORGE KLAPKA. George Klapka was born in 1815, in the town of Tees. var, the capital of the Hungarian Banat—an immense, won. derfully fertile plain, the old bed of the Sweetwater sva or lake, formed by the waters of the Danube bofore it forced ts way through the rocky walls of the Carpathians—ve- Sore it opeued the now go-called “Iton Gates,” by whic its Waves, wild and roaring, roll on to the great Roumaii val- ley, and thence to the shores of the Biack sea. His father, 4 man of wealth, respectability aud eminent education, was ‘‘Biirgeemesier” (Major) of that city, and therefore held a tip-top position in society. At fifteen years of ag, after having finished his classical education in the coliege (gymnasium) of his native city, young Kiapka was, by bis own inolination and his father’s wish sna consent, destined to enter on @ military carver. He therefore was sent to the military school at Tuln, in Upper Austria, one of the beat instituions for military education in the Austrian empire. Tue famous General Gorgey; the unfortunate Udvarnaroky, shot by the orders of Gorgey; Vigtor Simounyi,and many others who ¢istinguished thei ves in the revolutionary wars of 1848-49, were his school fellows. After three years of ‘assiduous studies he left this school and entered at V.ecua the Hungarian Nobiegarde. This corps, the mos: bril- kant corps of guards in the world, consisted exclusiveiy of sons of Hungarian noblemen. To give an idea of the real: ly gorgeous magniflconce of the Hungarian Nobio- Rarde, it may suilice to relate that the outfitting (unitorm, arms and horse) of each single guardist cost, accor ding to the regulations, 6,600 florins (or $3,000), a sum which, before 1848, was equal to at least $3,000 in that country. The barracks, situated on the glacis at Vienna were a palace, vieing in grandeur with a royal or impo” Fial palace. Every man bad his owa horses and his owa servant on horseback; and the property of the corpora, tion was estimated at 5,600,000, or more than two mil, Kons of doliare, The Hungarian war being finished, the Austrian government confiscated the property, aad the several millions, given or bequeathed to tue corporation by the kings and the magnates of Hungary, were pat ia the large, bottomless pocket of the ever empty imperial treasury. Elapka was not long e member of this moet fastidious military corporation; a young man of a rather serious character, he was soon disgusted by the fast life the young Hungarian noblemen lived at Vienna and at the imperial court. Also, his private fortune was not large enough to keep up, vieing with the sons of the rich mag nates, such a splendid and expensive life. He therefore retired to private life, and returned to Hungary, preparing himself for a political carca»—exactly at the samo time as Gorgey retired for a stiontifie career, going to Prague to study chemistry, Two years afterwarcs the great revolutionary movements of Europe began to awaken ail sleeping spirit and talents and t® call them on the scene of action. Kiapke, @ fervid patriot, engaged himself as volunteer, but became foon lieutenant. Distinguishing himself in almost all battles by personal courage and great military talents, he soon couxjuered glory and honor. In September, 1348 we find him in the Hungarian ranks an vulunteor; in Oc’ tober as lieutenant; in November as captain; in the end of December as colonel; in February as general of diyi- rion, and in May as general-in-chief and as Minister of War! So quick, g0 brilliant is the career of talented men and men of genius, when the earthquake of revolution heaves and turns up the foundations of society. We may spare time to give to our readers a dotailed history of | Kiapka’s military and strategical exploiis; ho himself told them to the world in @ most interesting work—'The Se: moires of Goorge Kiapka’—written i the German tan: guage, and translated into half a dozen languages of Europe. ‘The last act of the Hungarian drama shows us Klapta still on the scene, aa General-tn-Chief of 45,000 men, and ag commander of the greatest stroughold of Hungary— | the fortress of Comorn—besieged bY the combined Rus ian and Austrian armies. Klapka, being assured by a special commissioner, whom he, with the allowance of the Austrian Commander-in-Chief, sent to Arad, that not only the whole Rungarian army was lost, or had left the coun- try, Dut that also all the fortresses of Hungary, even the strong Peterwardein, were already, by capitulation, ia the hands of the enemy, called together in » council of war all the officers of his staff, and it was decided by common consent that a defence of Comorn, though very pos- sible for at least six or ten months, was quite useless ua- der the actual circumstances, and that, therefore, acapita lation under honorable conditions should be negotiated with the Austrian commander. Oa the 27th of Sepem ber, 1849, the act of capitulation was signed by Haynan, the Austrian commander and Imperial Plenipotentiary, and the cli.cfs of the general staff of Kispka—the Colonela Meanyaueki, Pragay, St, Rutkay, Count 0. Zichy, Conat P. Esterhazy, Joh. Janik, and the Town Major aad Commanders Assermann and Szabo. Toe condiions were very honorable, but the Austrian governmeat broke them with shameful impudence. Notwithstand- cicsed in @ piece of sealing wax, which he swallowed, but | ‘Was compelled to disgorge by means of an emetic, Tnis | ¢ispatch informed Napoleon of everything, and the know- | ledge it communicated was not without ita influence on the war. In connection with the Tyrol and Napoleon there is an interesting circumstance which is worth relating before we conclude. The division of Vaubois, left behind to guard the passes, had been driven out. Napoleon, who did not understand what it was to retreat, felt much _ Giepicesure, and affected still more, He had the two regi- | mente drawn out before him at Rivoli, and thus addressed them : ‘‘ Soldiers of the Thirty-ninth and Fighty-fifth, you are not French soldiers. Quartermaster, let it be in scribed on their colors, they no longer belong to the Army of Ttaly.”’ Napoieon knew the effect this would produce. The men buret into tears, and asked to be placed in front | of the next battle. ‘hey soon had the opportunity of wiping out the disgrace in the terrible fight of the marehes of Arcola. None suffered so much or fought 80 heroically | there as the division of Vaubois. | ‘Thus, in 2 few months a young general of 26 years, who | bad entered Italy with less than thirty thousand men, | broke through the famous strategical eqdare in which the back, and destroyed in succession three armies which Were expected to annihilate him. THE HUNGARIAN MOVEMENT. GEORGE KLAPFA AND THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVE- MENT IN THE FRANCO-3AKDINIAN CAMPS. George Kapka, the renowned Hangarian genoral, who defeated the Austrian farmies under Windischgratz, Wel- den and Kempen go often and 60 brilliantly in the war of Hungarian Independence, aud who was and is still re- ry revolutiovary leaders in Europe, is now, as French and Sardinian papers and Germsn snd Eoglieh correepondence announce, at Genoa, occupied to form and drill the frat Hupgarian battalion, which will probably be tae nucleus distributed his light infantry Geclivities of the mountain, and on the lef, ‘upon the banks of the river. Hig soldiers, bora on the banks of the Rhone, the gsins or the Loire, equalled the hunters of the Tyrolean Alps in boldness and agility. Some, climbing ftom rock to rock, stained the summit of the mountain, and poured on the right upon the Of 8 corps Parméc to be eMmposed and filled up out of the Tanke of the enemy. This fact, proapected by one of oar correspondents some weeks ago, and theu doubted by Some of Our contemporaries, is not only most significant for the intentions of the French Emparor, vue will proba | nept President of the Police, Mr. ing it was by section one of the capitulation accorded that every man of the garrigon, officers and privates, should have an unlimited amnesty, and should go home uamoiest- | ed and with (Austrian) imperial passports, General Hayaau enlisted nearly 30,000 of the men in the Austrian army w Serve aterm of ten years. More than 12,000 of the Co- morn capitulants, and more than 30,000 of the Hngarisa war prizoners of Arad and Villagos, were gont to the Aus trian regiment in Italy, and we will not overrate it if we eay that even now the Italian army, under Gyulal, counts more than 20,000 Hungarians who have beea ia Austrian Service since 1849. Some days after tho capitukttion Klapka left Comorn and the Imperial States, and west 10 London, by the way of Berlin, whore the stupid, imperti- Kinkeldey, arrested him for some days. In England he was received with all hos- pitality aud honore to which vator and misfortune are eati ted. But be aid not #tay a long time in the foggy utmos- phere of the Eagitsh metropolis, leaving Loadon for Paris in the beginving of the year 1850. At Park ho found a great vumber of the Hungarian Jeaders, wip had been fortunate enougu to escape from the bloody hada of Haypau—viz., Count Ladisiaw Toleki, Huogarian Ampaasa- cor to the French republic; Count Casimir Battkynai, Jate Bungarian Premier Minister, the brother of thd ua fortunate Louis Batthyani; Mr. de Szmere, late Minister 0 the Interior, and now in Paris one of the chief editors o the Cimstitutionnel; Count Bethlen (now in the suit of Prince Napoleon at Leghorn), aud mauy other old uo quaintances of Hungary aod Austria. At the instante of thete friends, and provoked by the Memoirs of Gysera! Gorgey, be began to write his own “Memoirs on the Hun gerian war,” which he accomplished at Genova, having been driven to Switzerland after the fall of the Freash re- public, December 2, 1861. Since that time he lived, with the interruption of afew months’ residence at Consanti nople and Londow, very quietly, in the winter in thetown of Geneva, in the spring and summer in a villaon the bank of that beautiful fake. He became soon a citizen of the canton, and was elected by au immense majority So nator of the State, till the war in Italy broke out, and higher duties ‘to bis old country, Hungary, culled him again in the field against his hated ene- bly be still more important by its strategioa and pulitical consequences.

Countess George Karolzi, the now divorced wife of Count George Kerolzi, giving up her husband and his immense wealth, followed Klapka in his exile to Switzerland, and is now at his side at Gonos. Klapka is a man of a very propossessing exterior; his large bead and his broad front indicate the man of gono- ral talents; his strongly marked features, the man of strong character and dotermined will; his keen, sharp, clever eyes, the quicknees of his perceptions and the sharpness of his views.

The Atlantic Cable~A Telegraph via Sehring’s Straits. The following paper was read bofore the Polytoshnis Association, June 9, 1859, by H. Meigs, Esq.:— In May, 1867, the Mechanics’ Club said that the project ‘aa then proposed would fail; but the opinion was offered by Mr. Tillman that the propér route would be by Bohring’s Straits, and that the Czar of Russia should undertake it, A map of that strait was then drawn by the Secretary of the Club, and is now in the rooms of the institute. The whole proceedings are reported in the published transactions of 1897. Great opposition was made to the proposed plan. The Czar took up the plan some time ago, but the ction thereon 1s not known here, Toe Parbament of Canada have already passed an act cui & COMpsay to connect the East and West by tele- graph wires across Behring’s Straits, Our map ia drawn according to the best authority, end- ing with the lateet survey—that by Captain Beechey. The whole distance from Cape Prince of Wales to East Capo is fifty miles, and midway between lie the islands Ratmapolf, four miles long, and Kruzenstern, two miles long, and a bare rock uear—so that from our Capo to Ratmanof! is twenty-eigut miles, and thence w Fast Cape twenty-two miles. From'a moderate ele- vation on Ratmanoff both continents are at once visibie, The depth of waver is about 200 feet. The ice caunot come down trom the Arctic ocean because the current alw nets through the strait, to the north- ward. Here then can be iuid, if necessary, a thousand wires, and thus enable the world to maiuiain @ corres- poudence which would be impossible on one or even many ocean wires, We ail koow how difficult it is for our telegraph lines to avoid 4 cut when great speculation ueeds it, At any rute unless the telegraph cables bo made highway and post roads for every body, their utility is miserably reduced. And ifthe lines can be made acces- sible to everybouy, millions of meseages will pass iaatead of a few bunareds. Keiuuons, friends and men of busi geas ull over the world will keep thousands of telegraph wires in constant employment. The cables laid in tue straits will be readily taken up for repair; the nations will protect tue liaes using them, as they pasa through their towns; aitogetuer affording an iacome greater than any nauonal revenue from ail other sources, Toe 300 mile cable in the Mediterranean has ceased to operate, Vitus Behrivg was a Dane—ontered the Russian navy in 1707. Tae Empress Catharine wanted to know whether Asia and America were united, and seat Behring there to ex- umine it in 1725.

He traversed ed the sea porth of the etraite until etopped by ice. Our countryman, Ledyard, undertook to walk to the straits snd cross over to America. He set out in 1786. He reached Irkutek, in Siberia, but difficulties arose and the government stopped him. Ct in Beecht y, of England, is the last who examined the straita, The little islands are called the Diomedes.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Yors, June 11, 1859. ‘Why is it that there is go much delay in the delivery of letters at the New York Post Office? is a question frequent- ly asked by persons who have no box, but who have their letters left at the Post Office to be called for. It is cort#in- ty vexatious to all persans who are anxiously awaiting the receipt of advices, ofttimes of great importance, to run day after day to the Post Office and get the answer in the negative, and the next morning find their names in the list of advertised letters. I will instance a case in point: An important letter to myself, mailed in Rahway, N. J., June 3, and post marked that date, could not be ob- tained by me until the 10th, notwithstanding I called for it on Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesaay, until I concluded that it must have been Jost, and ceased to call until it was advertised, having laid in the New York Post Office over six days, and when venturing to expostutate [ was insulted by the clerk, and told ina haughty manner that “ we lay aside letters of no local address on Monday merning, and placejwith letters to be advertised, and of course you could not get it.”” To these facts I will make, if necessary, an affidavit. What! are we to wait ail that time for letters? Now, it seems to me that if letters were promptly delivered when called for there would not be one-half the number to advertise. It looks very much like a collusion on the part of those benefited; and as Iam but one of a large number of the aggrieved, you would do the public a benef vy giving this subject’ an airing. VEXED. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New Youk, June 13, 1859 Amidst all the self-congratulat‘on, vanity and exaggerat- ed importance in which New Yorkers boid themselves and their institutions ag compared t9 the rest of tho world, there is one thing wbich nobody I have yet spoken with upholds or has a good word for—the Post Oilice aystem. Is there any particular reason way letters directed to be left at the Post Oflice shouid, to all appearance, be in- variably a week or ten days longer than they oaght be- fore you can get them? A letter posted 1a Liverpool ou the 10th of May I aid not get ull the 34 of Jane, though 1 frequently applied at the Poet Oifice. The muil reckons to come in 10 or ll days. Ths uauecessary delay was the cauge of loss of time and money, which was of the greatest importance to me, and 1 am’ now waiting otber communications, which I have no doub: will prove to have been similarly delayed. A friend of mine from Toronto wa: not able to get a letter before the 10th; it bears te Toronto postinark of June 2—only cight days. Thave observed thatif you go to the Post Ofilce in the middie of the week you find the pygeoa boles almost empty, but if ‘you call on Fridays, after the letters are advertised, you diecover they are full. This would geem to indicate that they are lad agide and only sorted once a week. I suppose no one is to blame, though these irregularities never occur at the General Pos: Oflice in Loadoa. Uater the régime of Rowland Hill I bave no doubt tbe party io fault would be discovered and the oaus iaid on the Tighe shoulders. There is a party in my country, of which John Bright is the head ana front, possessed With an inreasoning ud- miration of everything Awerican. They have never beow here, eise their enthusiasm would be considerably modi fied. Toey would wish to Americanize Eaglani. Ail I will say is, should we imitate you in other things, I gin- cerely hope we may not in your postal regulation’, AN EN 3LISH MAN. ——__—_—_—_—_—_—_—— PERSUNAL.
