He got also for them order for the repayment of an olde and desperate debt of three thousand marks, a debt so desperate, as foure yeres left out of their accounts, and by the opinion of them all, not thought fit to be dealt with, for too much offending the Emperor, or impeaching his other businesse, which was thought at least otherwise sufficient, and was therefore left out of his instructions from her Majesty.

t be counted in the number of remote invasions, for the campaigns of the Spaniards in Flanders and of the Swedes in Germany were of a peculiar nature, the first belonging to civil wars, and the latter having appeared on the scene only as auxiliaries of the protestants. Besides, all those expeditions were executed with inconsiderable forces. In modern times then, Napoleon alone has dared to transport the regular armies of the half of Europe, from the banks of the Rhine to the banks of the Volga; the desire to imitate him will not very soon be entertained. There would be wanting a new Alexander and new Macedonians, against the bands of Darius, to succeed in such enterprises: in truth the tender affection of modern societies for the enjoyments of luxury might well bring us armies like those of Darius; but where then shall we find Alexander and his phalanxes? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A few Utopists have imagined that Napoleon would have attained his end if, like a new Mah

The culminating star of Austrian atrocity, --the general whose name recalls everything that is most monstrous in Austria's treatment of down-trodden Hungary. Haynau! What was it that the European press charged upon him as his greatest atrocity? Why, he whipped one woman,--a countess; he whipped one woman at the public whipping-post. The press of Europe, from the banks of the Volga to the banks of the Seine, from the Times up to Punch, denounced him as a libel on the civilization of the nineteenth century, as a brute who had disgraced even the brutality of the camp, when he dared, in the face of Europe, in the nineteenth century, thus to outrage the common feeling of the world. That is Haynau; but he followed the example of half the States of this Union. There, woman-whipping is the law and custom of the land. There are a hundred thousand men and women in this nati
