lie.ut.
Th-j timo had been when a sense of injus
tice would have only excited her wrath; but
the opprcswotiow was her husband, and she
submitted even unto death. The band that
inflicted the blow was the one she loved; the
hps that now uttered tha Words of cruel
sc-rn, were tho.c sho worshipped. Her
heart was crushed its fresh flowers were
i withered -jts pure streams turned to bitter
! ness. hc had poured her love into a bro

had "loved not wisely, but too well;" had

Life dies and love; but while life is, lives
love.'
It was the fate of Constance to hear from
other lips a c mflrmation of her worst sus
picions. Thc long days, and thc still longer
nights psped away from his home, embitter
the thoughts, and raised a thonsand' horrid
imaginations in her mind. Still, one
proof f affection would have dispelled those
thoughts, and recalled the light of love to that
neglected home Alas! no such proof was
given; instead of kindness,-Constance expe
rienced neglect and coldness, harshness and"
I upbraidings. I uablc to remedy the evil, her
i kitrItt was to eudure.. She sank into an
al hy ; this luvcrson termed luairrereuc, ia
he now endeavored to wound her pride ;
and whilst sho was lvinir on a bed of
husband's desertion. The real circumstan
ces of the case had b-cn concealed' from" her,
her brother tltouglit it bast to permit her
to remain iu error, and consoled her with a
I representation that RivcRson had been 6iid
! deiily called to join his regiment in India.
I The trouble Constance had uRlcrgor.e se-
riously affected her health, and she was or
dered to winter in Italy. Such was the
slate of things when I found thc brother-and-sister
in Florence.

We had been three months in Florence.
The beauty of the scene, and the mildness
of the air, had produced a sensible effect up
on the health of Constance; her mind bgan
to regain its former tone,1ind as her strength

husband and counted the ays when she ex
pected to liear from him : her spirit still
f'ljrdf j clung to him as ever 1 She cherish
ed Le hope of one day being reunited to
him. We were -careful not to destroys th
illusion. I now think it would' have been
:6r nWrdfud ta bvct6ld her'the worst, or
to Lave crushed in tb bud 'those false and
vain 1 lopes which she was fostering; but the
happiness of seeing her daily amendment of
uiind and body was so great, that we never
contemplated the danger of allowing her to
be buoyed up with hopes which could never
be raized. We dM'ntrt'coBsider that soon
jrr Mr hater, tha. truth. rout.cnmfi..tftlr
koowlw-dg, and that the longer we permitted
her to remain in error, the greater would be
the misery, and the nwre dairserous the
reaction. We blimilyvhailedt with joy her
recovery, and saw not the pricipice on which
we had placed her.
One beautiful evening, when' th'e sctting
uii had made bth earth and sky one blaze
oi V!.ri ius IlghComtauce expressed a strong
d ir t visit thc village of Galileo; and her
br h r, anxious to gratify every wish of
hers prepared to accompany her. The scene
a- is beautiful beyond'description; th'e whole
i!j of Aruo appeared like a richly cultiva
ted ginh n. Florence lay at our feet; her
towers and pinnacles glowed like burnished
gold in thc rays the setting sun. The river,
win ling thr. the olive groves and vine
yards, could be plainly traced for-miles, un
til its waters became lost in ah'e distant Ap
penines, whose darkblue ridge formed' the
boundary to our gaze. The villa is a favo
rite walk with all the English at Florence,
and this was one of the chief reasons wby
we had delayed taking Constance there fear
ing that the sight of her countrymen might
awaken the painful recollections. Tired
vuth ""wandering in the grounds, we had en
tered the hall, around which. seats are placed
for ths accommodation of visiters. It was
already occupied by two persons a lady and
gentleman were standing before one of the
opei. windows, and the noise caused by our
entrance attracted their- notioe; In a- mo
ment 'we became sensible ofT (he presence
of Riveraon, and the companion of his
flight!"
With a glad cry of recognition,' Constance
sprang forward, and would have thrown her
self into her husband's arms ; but the dark
triumphant glance of his female companion
met her gaze, and'sKe paused'; while River
son with the female upon his arm, stalked
out of the: room. Constance remained ror a
mo-next in speechless wonder the whole
trcth-tad flashed upon her mind, and, with
a shriek, she fell lifeless at our feek. We
took her up, and medical assistance was im
mediately at hand but Constance was past
all aid ! her spirit had winged it flight to
another and' a better world.
The next intelligence we received of Riv-
erson, was that he had fallen in a duel, into
which he had been drawn by the tauhless
companion of his flight.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Cf the manner in which. Gen. Aeorgy'a
uIrytocv-1,ra, brougnt about, we find an ac
count in a Vienna letter of the Alsremeine
Zeitung in which it was asserted, that Gjjor
ey who had long, been discontented' with
Kossuth's government, proposed aa early as
the end" of July, to-finish-the war, and that
this -proposal was conveyed to Prince Faskie
wifsch, who transmitted it to Warsaw. Upon
this'Princc Schwarzenberg was invited to
come to tlie Polish capital; and his consent
having been obtained, the memorable coun
cil of war was held in Arad, on the 11th of
August, in which Georgy and the officers of
his party insisted upon Kossuth resigning
his dictatorship in favor of Georgy. The
surrender was the consequence of that act.

taken place within, the last few days, we can
no, longrr liave any hope of carrying" n-the

employthe power vested in him, as far as in
bis power lies, to preserve the national and
political independence of our poor fatherland,

this I, l?fore God, make him responsible to
the nation and to history. May he love his

" ARTHUR GEORGY."
The Wiener Zeitung of the 24thpublish
eshe following official explanation of the
manner in which Gen. Georgy's surrender,
was brought about :
" During Georgy's retreat, and after-his
defeat at Waitzen, he made repeated attempts
to treat, as well" with the Russian Generals
Rudiger andTsoheodajeff, as with the Prince
of Warsaw, but as his missive only express
ed a wish for an intervention or a. pacifica-.
tion, and not an unconditional surrender, no
notice was "taken of them. On the 11th
instant, however, a letter was- addressed by
GeorcVirom Alt-Axad. fa Gftnral. JBw
Rudiger, in which he declared that, in con
sequence of the dissolution of the Hunga
rian Provisional Government, he found him
self called upon to take a decisive step, . and
had therefore determined to.surrender at dis-
nrptioif. TTla fnrthpr -stated; rfiftt. bft. as well
as the officers and soldiers of the army corps
under his command, was prepared to surren
der to the rrmy of his Majesty the Emperor
of Russia. Georgy also expressed? his con?
viction, that the chief of ' the other corps
would follow his example and tender their
submission. A4 though the hopeless position
of Georgy's, troops,. w4io; after being repeat
edly beaten- by- the Russian, troops., were
closely pursued by them on the one hand,
and by the Austrian Commander-in-Chief,
Baron Haynau, on the other, ierfc no doubt
that tbe speedy disarmament orannihilation
of Georgey's corps must lake place, still, the
Prince of Warsaw, moved by the wish to'
prevent unnecessary bloodshed and to save
a part of the Austrian States from the fur
ther ravages of war, consented to accept the
offer of unconditional surrender made by
Georgy and the troops under his command.
General Rudiger accordingly received imme
diate instructions to surround' the- enemy's
forces andi to disarm them. The one hun
dred' 'and' thirty-eight guDs, ammunition,
horses, weapons, and military, stores taken
from Georgy's-army,. were deposited' at Grosd-
wandem-, where they were taken possession
of by the Austrian troops. The Prince of
Warsaw has also taken necessary steps for
spee lily delivering over the insurgents ?whb
are at present guarded in their camp by the
Russians, and placing them at the disposal
of their liege lord, his Majesty the Enrperor
Francis Joseph."
The same paper publishes the following
report from Gen. Hay naur dated" Temeshvar,
the lStn Sept. r
" The victories which the troop3 of their
Majesties obtained on. the 9th inst, near Tem
eshvar, did not only, cause the immediate
retreat of the Hungarian army which inves
ted that place, but it gave also such a deci
sive' blow to tbe forces of the insurgents,,
that their armies1 are now incapable of offer
ing, any effective resistance . The e.iemy in
their disorderly retreat from Temeshvar to
Lugosh, left the heaps of muskets and ac
coutrements, ammunition cars, cannon, and
thousands of stragglers on the road. The
number of prisoners and deserters who have
fallen into our hands since the battle of
Szorog, on the 5th, is already above 18,000.
The same number have laid down their arm3
and retired to their homes, so that the in
fantry of the hostile armv is in a state of
dissolution. Georarv. who. bv the rapidity
of his movements, managed to-escape !rom,
the great Russian army at the Upper Theiis,
had arrived by the way of. Dubrezin ( where
his rear guard was routed by the Russians)
and Grosswardein, at Arad, in order to join
the Southern army of the Magyars. He al
ready fancied that he bad escaped the dan
ger, and effected the wished-forj union, bat
the Austrian army of the Danube had alrefciv
dy raised the seige of Temeshvar, ' and me
naced Arad on the left bank of the -Maroa.
Georgy came too late, for in the; forenoon
ofthe 10th of August, General Schliek, with
a part of his-corps, ; encountered Georgy's
vaguard,eoneistiug ofirom 8,000 to 10,000
men, as it' was- debouching not far . front
Arad, and threw it backi-with great loss up-
on that fortress. Hereupon Georgy. took
the road by the way of Jda tWMaros,
where he formed a bridge, intendinc.o pass ,
by Lippa,. tff Lagos. ' Foreseeing! tiifc this fc
would be attenrptedr IJiad already despatch--ed
a cdumn to Lippav which' dnrw tie en
my's vanguard, that had" just come np be
yond the river.- Tdbo Magyars thereupon ;
burnt the bridge. . Tiiese. Iasf maneuvxes
proved decisive, forthere was no outlet iEbr
Georgy. Tlie Rusaian Grencralbf the Crt
airy, Rudiger, coming from Grosswardein,
was close upon his heeIi, on the.Trausylva
nian side the vanguard -of the allied army, '
was at Deva, where the castle was blown upl
and a great number of the insurgents killed,
(we know-xothSng of the pardculars oonnec--
tnan army of ths Danube was on the kft.
bank of the Maros. Thus shut in ou all
sides, Georgy surrendered at Villages on tht
I3th, with his whole corps, whichv war re
duced to 25y000 men, although lie still hadi
1 44 guns. In consequenee of. this the
fortress of Arad also surrendered at'dlscre-
tion, on the 17 th. -The Austrian, arm
boasts, inasmuch as-havingi almost extermi
nated the enemy in ix battles, itdiaa-ledA to
the surrender of Georgy's corps and the lbr
tress of Arad. Directly the siege of Tem
eshvar was raised, I ordered the fugitive ar
my, which was under the comniandl of ? Benv
to be pursued by the third division, the re
serve, and Wallmoden's cavalry division,.
After some feeble attempts atr resistancer.
Lugos was taken and the enemy's , corps,
which was almost in a state of dissolution
was pursued in the direction.of Facset andt
Karensebes. This splitting of the retceajk
ing troops for each division took an opposite"
direction1 proves the disunion and eonxusion
of the insurgent leaders. Weapons and ae
coutrementa which -hadr-beeii thrown away
by the fugitives were found on all sidelHw
carriages of the guns which cou&'not ba
carried off were burnt, and the guns 'leftt
behind. A letter of Kossuth's which was
found, declared" before he knew that Georgy
had surrendered, that the Magyar cause was
irretrievably, lost. The consequence of-ourr
rapid pursuit of the enemy is that immense
stores of regimentals, military accoutre
ments, ammunition, &c. of a- vallie-oPsome.
millions of florins, have fallen into our hands..
The Finance Minister, Duschek, came in audi
surrendered himself, and considerable trea
sure of uncoined gold and silver, (half a mil- .
lion of florins, or 50,000.) On, the 16th
the Southern army, under the Bin of Croa

army of Danube line-bloody drama is air

with the prospect of peace can be made."

Prince Paskiewitsch was preparing to trans-,

custody of the Austrian Commander-in-chief;
The exact number of the cannon which,
Georgy surrendered was 138.
: - The state of public opinion, in Vienna on
the recent events in Hungary may. be-to
some extent estimated from, the . foljpwjng
letter: .:.'',;,.
"The intelligence from. Hungaria is con
firmed in all its details. The courier, Count
Soltich, only passed' throngh Vienna on his
way to Ischl, where the Emperor, is staying;
this is the reason the details are not generally
known, (hough they are expected with im
patience. No one, however, doubts the sur
render of Georgy and the flight of Kossuth
and Bern. As to the surrender of Georgy;
it is variously commented on. All those
who know the man acquit, him, of any mo
tive- unworthy- of his-chivalrous-and hitherto
stainless character: Cfeorgy's private cock
duct was always free from reproach, hi pa
