at Glasgow which ap peared in our columns to the courtesy of Captain Stokes the gallant commander of the Viceroy who knowing the in terest felt by the Dublin public on the subject of her Ma tour kindly supplied the Dublin journals with express copies of the Glasgow papers Captain Stokes with his wonted zeal expressed copies of the Glasgow Courier from Iambay fearing that owing to the state of the wind and tide his vessel would not reach this port in time or Ids attention to ourselves personally and his consideration for the public interest on this and other occasions we beg to tender Captain Stokes our wannest acknowledgments TO CORRESPONDENTS A must send us his real name and address before his communication can be considered GERMANY AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY The rumour of the defeat of the Russian grand army which appears in the Presse is somewhat confirmed by the accounts which were received in Vienna on the 10th by the respective mamruvres of Georgey and Paskewitsch It ap pears that General Grabbe on his advance from Altsohl to Losonzon the 22d ult found that the place had been quitted that very day by General Georgiy's rearguard He conti nued his pursuit of the Hungarians on the 23d but he soon found that he had lost their track and it was but on the fol lowing day that they fell with General Georgey at Gomer It was then found that the Hungarians tif the strength of 30000 had taken up astrong position on the heights ofMish kolz on the left bank of the Sajo The Russians advanced to the onset and a series of battles ensued on the 23d 24 th and 25th ult in which the fortune of war was equally divided between the combatants baton the 20th General Georgey whose mana uvres are wont to puzzle his anta gonists quitted his positions and marched in the direction of Tokay Part of the Russian army was then left behind at Mezn Kovesd and General Grabbe marching in pursuit of Georgey crossed the Theiss at Tissa ared by way of Porosslo This march was one of extreme difficulty and danger for the morasses between Porosslo and the Theiss cover many miles and the bridges and all other means of communication had been destroyed by the Hungarians At length the Russians though in a sad plight succeeded in gaining the left bank of the Theiss in spite of the opposition of 2500 Honveds and a few troops of Hungarian horse A pontooa bridge was then constructed and the whole Russian army crossed the river leaving their baggage behind and commenced forthwith to throw up entrenchments around the position which they had taken up on the left bank close to Tissa ttred Another account also dated Vienna 10th August is as follows In the course of the day Prince Orloff arrived there from the head quarters of Rumours became preva lent assoon as the Prince's arrival was known that Georgey had been defeated by the RiiMtsiMpand trbulletin announcing the definitive triumph was momentarily expected In a short time however it was ascertained that Orloff was the mes senger not of victory but of defeat it is con fidently stated has been entirely routed No bulletin was published and at the time our despatches were sent off the details were still unknown The most recent official publication was a bulletin about the earlier operalions of Paskiewitsch It points in most vivid colours the difficulties which the Russian army has to struggle with in Hungary One almost feels a pity for these poor Russian soldiers floundering in the morass swept by the grape from the woods on the other side The crash of the burning bridge and the joyful cheer of the Magyars after midnight the breaking of 50 Hussars into the camp while the dead weary soldiers were asleep and the bolting the artillery horses which creates such immense confusion and wounds 16 men all compose a striking picture in little of this tremendous war so replete with interest 'Hie Morning Herald correspondent in a communication dated Tuesday evening says I understamTthe epotS' received by'tbe government from their own Sources relative to the war in Hungary continue to be most favourable to the Hungarians so much so that the Russians appear disposed to negotiate for an amicable settlement On the other hand the court of Vienna has it is affirmed addressed itself to Prussia and invited the assis tance of that power which the latter under pretext of saving her Polish "provinces from the spread of insurrection is de scribed to be ready to afford rom the western theatre of war we learn that the defeat of the Austrians before Comorn was more and more serious than was at first supposed The Magyar are swarming through the whole country far and wide They already stand between Wieselburg and Hochstrass have occupied Szer dahely in the Schutt and northwards by Neuhausel have thrown a bridge over theNeutra One thing at least is cer tain that they have not withdrawn yet into their fortress on the contrary the corps destined for relieving Comoro in case of need the strength of which cannot accurately be given is partly on the right bank of the Danube partly in the Schutt It is not true that the Hungarians have advanced to Parendorf Gailicia Cracow Aug 8 The town was nearly evacuated by the troops who have almost all inarched from Hungary the passage lasted not far short of a month Many arrests have been made in Lemberg and several Russian officers base been conducted through as prisoners to Warsaw to be tried there by court martial Polish rontier August 5 Major General Paul Aksandrowof the suite of his Majesty the Emperor as also Count Kankren have been sent to the army in Hungary on a special mission The former lias gone to the theatre of war in the north and the latter to the south as far as the corps of General Luders at Bucharest Both are said to be charged with the most positive orders to make every arrange ment for an immediate termination of the campaign in Hungary The Emperor knows too well that the season favourable for carrying on the war in Hungary with advan tage terminates with the month of August and consequently that unless something decisive is effected by the imperial troops within the next four weeks it will be 'expedient to withdraw the main portion of the army and to be content With the occupation of some places The Borgen halle adds The immense number of troop 0 0 3 0 Miscellaneous Wcklow Copper Mine Railways Dublin and Drogheda HER CAPTAIN WILLIAMS We would neither do justice to our own feelings nor to the consideration for the public convenience evinced by Captain Williams the Comptroller of the Household did we omit thus publicly to express on the part of the gentlemen con nected with this establishment our sense of obligation for the courteous and obliging manner in which that gallant officer complied with every suggestion made to him which could facilitate the procuring accurate lists of the names of those who attended the levee and drawing room We regret to have seen a somewhat different sentiment given expression to by a cc temporary "We are confident it must have arisen from accident for it would be impossible that greater efforts could be made or made more successfully for the convenience of the public press than there were made on both occasions referred to VENICE The Archbishop of Paris has addressed a long letter to the Minister of oreign Affairs on the subject of Venice The reverend prelate expresses his disinclination to meddle in the temporal affairs of nations but says that he con idera the case of Venice as a question of justice of humanity and of civilisation After expressing his opinions as to the justness of the claims of Venice on the consideration and sympathies of Austria he proceeds as follows Austria refuses all concession and all promise of a con stitution she no longer listens to the timid representations of the powers she refuses to negotiate She will only dic tate to the rebel city the conditions of its present and future existence And what are those conditions Are they ad missible are they tolerable? Is there anything in her con duct towards Venice in which the slightest generosity is to be seen Does she not impose on that unfortunate city the necessity of choosing between dishonour and despair To surrender at discretion and unconditionally to burden the people with an enormous load of debt under which they cannot fail to fall to drive from the city JOO officers of the marine with their families and to send them without re sources into exile to select amongst the first citizens forty victims to whom the pardon of the amnesty shall not be applied to re establish an unbridled and unlimited military des potism with an indefinite stale of siege accompanied by daily executions and arbitrary taxes such it is said are the conditions of Austria this is the manner in which she punishes crime in a people who dared at a particular mo ment to take advantage of the state of Italy and of some fa vourable circumstances to remember tbeir former existence and to wish to be themselves again Venice cannot accept such conditions and she is resolved to bury herself beneath her ruins rather than subscribe to them Can rance can civilised Europe permit them to be imposed There is then no longer any union any mutual responsibility between na tions There are no longer above secondary rights the eter nal ones of justice ami of humanity There are no longer any of the inviolable principles which guarantee the dignity and liberty of a people I am aware that the answer of po litical men will be we have only two plans to adopt either to allow Austria to abuse her victory or to declare war against her Policy shrinks and perhaps rightly from adopting the latter course I for iny part believe that there is a middle course to be pursued and that the influence of rance might be used to a certain point without the effusion of blood rance is powerful and may use lofty language when apart from all private interests she makes herself the defender of the weak and the oppressed It is a part which beccmes rance and in my opinion England also If these two powers were to act in concert In the matter would Aus tria notwithstanding her own obstinacy long resist? Would she threaten war Would she seek to make fresh enemies when she finds so much difficulty in resisting those which she already has? That she would push things to the last extre mity if required to do anything dishonourable to her may be comprehended but when she is only asked not to be too cruel and too inexorable towards an unfortunate people be come by the force of arms and the play of revolutions an integral part of her empire who can credit that she will obstinately refuse it This work is worthy of rance Evil be to the government who shall witness with a dry eye the agony and death of a vanquished people What docs history already say and what will postc i for ever say of these who allowed the destruction and partition of Poland nice doubtless is of less importance but the right of a small state is not less sacred than that of a large one To labour for the salvation of Venice or at least to prevent its total rum would be also worthy of tho minister who at this mo ment directs our foreign affairs His heart so noble and so open to the inspirations of true liberty must be filled with sympathy for such misfortune Let him not allow it to bo one day said that the rench diplomacy under his ministry did not make a last effort to stop the perilous designs of Austria anil save the Venetian states from a complete loss I do not speak of the promises nridu to Venice of the hopes that have been held out to her and of the support even which has been given to her 1 only speak of rance of the interests of her glory and of her dignity 1 speak also of the glory of a minister who is dear to us I conjure him to turn his eyes towards the Adriatic or rather towiris Venice There are in that city envoys from Vienna rejected and abandoned Let him come to their aid let him take their interests in hand and he is sure to acquire imperish able claims to the gratitude of all who love justice and hate '0 might reiterate for the hundreth time Years have left them in all their Hideous injustice and deformity Their infinite is as fresh now as it was centuries ago Wewould not however despair of redress even did we not hope that her Majesty will exercise that constitutional control over her minis ters which our polity recognises and direct their attention to salutary measures for Ireland We may be told that ministers alone are respon sible to the country and that the crown is a simple cypher Of course if the crown will forego the proper exercise of its prerogatives and abandon the people to ministerial incapacity or ignorance the constitution is fulfilled though the character of the Sovereign may be thereby diminished in popular esteem Her Majesty it is well known is no mere constitutional puppet She has a strong wid of her own and exerts it when necessary She knows something of the dreary history of this country She has felt the distress of its people and it is not too much to expect that her personal influence should be exercised to stir the profound depths of ministerial inactivity rom her advisers if left to the working cf their own littleness we expect nothing but such notable reforms as the last poor law oh yes they have a reserve for the next session of unmentionable importance the grand jury hatch 1 gent by Russia against Hungary may be inferred from the fact that not only have the Guards been sent from St Pctcrs burgh but large bodies ot men from the remotest parts of the Russian The Approaching Marriage of His Majesty' the Emperor rancis Vienna At a The visit of her Majesty the Queen of Prussia to and her return to Sans Souci with Prince John of Saxony bis con sort and daughter appears to have reference to an event which promises equal happiness to both the royal families We are informed on the best authority that the Emperor rancis has demanded in marriage the elde daughter of Prince John of Saxony Princess Maria Augusta rederika born January 22 1827 and that the negotiations are al ready terminated It is further announced that the eldest son of Prince John presumptive heir to the throne of Saxony Prince Albert rederick Augustus is affianced to the Prin cess Charlotte eldest daughter of Prince Albert of Prussia born June 21st 1831 These two alliances will form a yet closer union between the reigning families of Austria Prus sia and Saxony Gerwin

the birth of the Em peror Napoleon a low mass was celebrated in the morning in the Chapel of the Invalides in presence of the President of the Republic and the ministers Had the Emperor lived he would have this day com pleted his 80th year As it is the Parisians are honouring his memory by hanging bouquets and wreaths of immortelles upon the column in the Place Vendome We had (says the correspondent of the Morning Post) been promised a gigantic review to day in the Champ de Mars but rumours had been noised abroad that an an attempt would be made to remind the troops that this was the fete day of their Emperor and that it would be a favourable opportunity to call upon the soldiers that his nephew was ready to accept bis imperial dia dem or this reason the review had been

The murderer pleads in his justification 'that the wounded man although advanced in years and the father of a family had seduced wife A private in the distinguished corps of the Chasseurs of Vincennes was sentenced to death by court martial in Paris on Tuesday for having struck his sergeant It is announced (says the correspondent of the Times') that the President of the Republic is completely recovered from bis late indisposition On Sunday night he was attacked with all the symptoms of cholera He suffered still on Mon day but fortunately the danger has passed away On this subject the Morning Chronicle correspondent has the following Paris 'Wednesday Morning The ministerial papers of last night and this morning announce in the most positive terms that the President of the Republic has completely re covered from his recent indisposition and that his health was so completely re established yesterday as to enable him to preside as usual at the council of ministers same answer was given last night to all inquirers at the Palace of the Elysee I think it right however to state that notwithstanding these official announcements of the recovery there are rumours of a direct contrary nature afloat in quarters which are usually well informed as to tho doings in the Elysee I am told that the President bad a relapse vesterday afternoon He was taken alarmingly ill at about a quarter before two pm when he was put to bed and the proper antidotes administered Last night at eight o'clock he was lather better but still not outof danger he complaint is of a decidedly choleraic character His attack at twd yesterday commenced with diafrhma and vomiting These dangerous symptoms were checked by strong doses of opium and the application of ice but great prostration and nervous derangement ensued This is the second attack he has bad of the same kind At Havre on Sunday night he was first taken ill but still he insisted on receiving deputations reviewing National Guards and hear ing addresses under a broiling sun The consequence was that on his return to Paris he was greatly weakened both by illness and fatigue Incendiary fires have become alarmingly frequent in rance especially in the departments of the Drome and Iserb At La Mure on the 7th 15 houses were burnt and accounts have just been received from Grenoble which state that the greater part of the town of Ciemieox is destroyed The fire lasted two days and the principal street is reduced to ashes To day being the fete of the Assumption and a close holi day the Bourse and public offices were shut The

perform the duty which devolves upon me in obedience to her command of expressing to your Excellency at the close of her Majesty's visit to Ireland the satisfaction which she has derived from her reception in that part of the united kingdom and from the gratifying evidence which universally presented itself from the time of her arrival in Cork to that of her departure from Belfast of warm and devoted loyalty and attachment to her throne and person and of affection for every branch of her family The circumstances which have attended this visit cannot fail to strengthen the deep interest which vour Excellency is aware has long been felt by her Majesty in all that concerns the happiness and welfare of her Irish people Iler Majesty rejoiced to observe among the multitudes who enthusiastically greeted her appearance the absence of all distinction of class and party and she indulges the hope that the feeling elicited on this occasion may tend to promote among all her faithful subjects in Ireland that union of heart and affection which is essential to the prosperity of their common country 1 am further commanded to assure you of the satisfac tion with which her

Philadelphia Daily News An Elopement Cckiolsly Prevented A singular instance of popular morality was displayed a few days since in a city in the south of Ireland to which we do not desire to refer particularly but which is remarkable for the strength of its military garrison and the beauty of its fair daughters A lady highly connected and married to a respectable gen tleman conceived the romantic and very novel idea of eloping from her husband and with a son of Mars The lady and her husband had been staying ata very fashionable watering place but suddenly pretending that she stood in desperate want of a particular article of female dress she left her un suspecting lord and returned to She then ran into her house packed up a few ran back into the street and got on a car with her military Paris and was dashing off to the railway station when a young lady a rela tion of the adventurous Helen recognised her as she was flying off on the wings of and called on the virtuous populace to arrest her flight The populace moved by lhe appeal quitted their various occupations flung aside the implements of their craft and rushed after the car which they soon overtook and stopped They then seized the lady and bore her off in spite of her struggles and took the military hero into custody I Thus the affair rests at present but whether the lawyers are likely to" be benefitted by the mad freak of the captured lady remains to be Cork Examiner DUBUli SHARK MARlT YEsrEHDAr I I 291 BOSCOMMON PACES Captain TH Pla kct 3lrt Regiment Edward William Esq 31st Regiment: rancis Sutherland

and life like hum which pervaded its majestic streets during the live days of the royal sojourn is now exchanged for silence and solitude Her Majesty brought a momentary vitality in her train and with her it has departed She was and with the architectural magnificence of her Irish capital and these emotions were heightened by the respectful and cordial reception which every where greeted her And truth to saj her Majesty had a very narrow escape for if the adyice of men ignorant of the Irish nature had been followed and jf the firmness of others had yielded to the follies of authority instead of being surrounded by the inha bitant of her ancient and loyal Queen Victoria would have been ushered in amid the sabres and bayonets of her soldiery It would be useless to speculate now on the consequences of such rashness and folly ortune favoured Queen Victoria and the coup des armes was abandoned for the free and spontaneous homage of the citizens Her Majesty say Sir George Grey in his letter to Irord Clarendon which we print in another column experienced 41 heartfelt satisfaction at the warm arid devoted loyalty and attachment to her throne and person which greeted her arrival in Ireland so warm will produce its just fruits in the royal breast that reception will not pass away with the in diting of this letter of acknowledgment but that her Majesty will enable her Irish subjects to lay np a store of enthusiasm for her second coming augur much better of her Majesty than our predecessors did of her royal uncle He paraded his cabbage head of shamrocks laid his hand on his heart at every shout of the multi tude drank all their in a tumbler of hot punch and promised a waggon load of great things for Ireland every one of which he right royally forgot when he returned to indsor Queen A ic toria is composed of different moral materials She promised nothing it is true but still we look on her as the source from which many future enjoy ments are destined to flow upon Ireland All her Irish deserved her affection and esteem Such was Sir George last acknowledgment his letter to the Viceroy repeats the sentiment and we trust that all will participate in the favours which may reasonably be expected from the control and influence of the Sovereign over her ministers She has not indeed seen much of the country or of its people The cloud turned out its silver to greet her What she did sec was the mere shadow of pomp and opulence All put on apparel such as it was to make merry in that week of pleasurable intercourse with the Sove reign But under that garb there was a depth and intensity of national suffering which her Majesty did not sec She is however too well versedin the modem history of our country not to know that the flitting grandeur of the capital did not represent the actual condition of the people She must have known thatcenturies of neglect and misrule capped by along continuance of famine and sickness could not but have left their painful impress on the great body of her Irish subject's She did not witness this social cor rosion for she was kept without the track but still she was aware of its existence and the welcome with which she was received must have suggested tAher tender mind the necessity of developing and culti vating by all that legislation' can effect so manystrong natural virtues There are many questions vitally affecting the in tereats of the Irish people in which her Majesty can much power The church question will soon become the subject of national agitation Here is a vast fund available for great national uses and we must look for its just and legitimate application The Catholics of Ireland cannot longer consent to maintain in injurious splendour an establishment from which they derive nothing but contumely and insult Half a million sterling is far too large an efflux from the produce of the country to be paid every year to the ministers of the church with which they have no communion or sympathy hile rents and rates and taxes devour the poor portion he cannot without a pang contribute ano ther portion to an alien establishment This gigan tic evil the Queen appreciates it must be redressed And well might her Majesty recommend the con sideration of this important question to Tier advisers or to relieve her from the trouble why should not Sir George Grey accept the task and inform his colleagues of the necessity He has sojourned among us and shared in the applause he bowed conde scendingly and looked highly gratified at the recep tion of his royal mistress as well as his ow Now in return the Home Secretary might represent the feel ings and wishes of her Majesty and lay before a cabinet council a catalogue of the wants of Ireland and her right to the full and prompt redress which the undisputed loyalty of her people merits The church question is only the first in the long account between England and Ireland We might enumerate a long roll of rights withheld or injuries the settlement of the land question the restriction of the franchise the ruin of our manufac tures the decay of OMrconr the neglect of our harbours the of our re sources as of Iela' tion and

small scale a few days since in our vwy midat It aeeina that some keen tyed geuiua ml traveling through one of the streets saw lying on the ground a piece of gold Stooping to pick it up he ob served some more and as he still ontinued at his occupation all the greenhorns gathered around him In halt an hour the whole street was lined with gold seekers and strange to say all were finding some Yes the yellow mica scat tered in our very streets The eager crowd soon atf acted the attention of our citizens and a variety of opinions were as is usual in such cases expressed Many became quite enthusiastic declared that San rancisco was resting on a gold mine and threatened to bring pick axe and shovel and dig to the great detriment of the public streets One man did actually do so but after whet ling his dirt and finding nothing in it gave it up The knowing ones soon solved the mystery he fine particles of gold can bo found in every street and are the sweepings of the stores where gold is taken in exchange for goods The excitement has died away and the town has assumed its usual quiet if there is any such thing as quiet in Ssn rancisco Death of Adam M'Gjean Esq It is our painful

the face of the globe but Ireland from the prospect of an abundant harvest one might draw the con soling conclusion that plenty was to bless its destitute inha bitants Yet how many are at this moment in this ill fated land who are looking with somewhat of the feelings of Tan talus on the growing crops which they are forbidden to touch and who are literally doomed ttf realise the picture of the English swain in olden times and famished dies amidst his ripened i In this melancholy view of the suffering and sad prospects of thousands of our unhoused peasantry there is alas nought of fancy or exaggeration This immediate vicinity without travelling one mile from the precincts cf the town supplies an unrefutable argument of the cruel sophisms involved in the ministerial manifesto that there was no longer any famine in Ireland The public may recollect that from our local journal went forth a publication of evictions of tenantry and the demoli tion of and the dispersion of their families and the hunger and nakedness of the desolate little children left without a roof to shelter them as harrowing to the Christian feelings as any that even the cruel annals of these latter years could supply These things took place in the neighbouring villages cf Cealmore and Chranfosk It would have been amusing if the subject were not so sad' to find that instead of any attempt to rebut the statement of this widespread desolation exception was taken to some real or apparent inaccuracies in the details as if cruelty would have lost a'l its hidcousness and as if the eternal ordi nances of the Christian law should have been superseded by the capricious enactments of landlord legislators because for sooth not more than thirty cottages trere unroofed and levelled and because not more than the average number of their inhabitants say about one hundred and thirty were thown rootless and shelterless on the charity of neighbours exhausted by the incessant and grinding action of four famine With the proprietor or agent of those estates I have no concern It is not with a view of establishing their guilt or vindicating their innocence that I now dwell upon this recent melancholy transaction They have doubtless acted legally and while the law shields them in the work of demolition and depopulation they may no doubt like many other lilwral men of the present times afford to undervalue the judgment of any other tribunal 1 have visited those dilapidateil villages 1 have counted on the spot those monuments of landlord ascendancy as well as the names 'and numbers o' their recent inmates I have seen the poor weaver with his cottage smouldering in ruins weaving his web of coarsq woollen under the canopy of Heaven an appropriate emble'iff of the misery with which the thread of his own life was woven and have seen the little orphans with limbs attenuated by hunger striving to conceal themselves from the public gaze in those temporary dens scooped through scraws ami wattles which certainly the least fastidious of the beasts of the field would not have chosen for tbeir habitation Of those whose houses were thus demolished some had crops of corn and potatoes Those who were privileged to remain were I am informed obliged to promise to pay rent not only for themselves but the ejected tenants To the i jected families then all theluxuriant crops the fruit of their industry and self denial are quite inaccessible and yet we are told by the Prime Minister who cannot be ignorant of this state of things and who prorogued the parliament without proposing any remedy that there is abundant harvest and that there is no starvation in Ire land Of what advantage is it to those more than a hundred per sons and this is but a sample of similar scenes that there is an abundant harvest approaching when they are cruelly inter dicted to eat of the fruit of the sweat of their brows As long as the law furnishes such oppression of creatures which in the most lawless state of society could not bo sur passed in vain will it be hoped that Ireland is on a return from the barbarous and emaciating depression into which thg double ascendancy of the landlord and church
