o, 4 : 1W Tu Yxr t CUBA.-By the follow nag, fromt LadeVrdad,' the Spanish paper i New .York, itappears that the Cubans really deserve-almost as much sympathy as the ;Hungarins; No Goverment scarce every made niore tyrancal exactions. We copy + ? " . ome of thern: Little less than a fourth part more of. that a + whugchi from fr the ntaber of 600,000 free inhabitants, feuices to sustain all the expenses of the government of these United Statns, in which are counted more than 20 millions of inhabitants, and which, with little more than half the number of soldiers that we " k support isn Cuba, have more than enough for the protection and garrison of their bou ndaries and forts. ;Flour and many other articles of first no.csiyfrthe-tnneofteidsra end poorer clases, are charged with a duty varyingfromh 50 to e2 0 per cent. of the first price of the article, such as rice, salt fish, In dian meal, live pigs to be slaughtered, & c. &c. Salt fish, on which we find a charge of 33 oper cent. only in the tari when imported in foreign vessels, pays O per cent., and the sameo thing appens with other articles enu merated and numerous others of first ne nees-ty. Our farmers have to pay 2 1- per cent. on sugar and 10 per cent. on their other harvest, when.gathered, the same as all ce ngaged in raisng hv stock, for all their cattre, exc lusive of the charges arising fro exportation. f:. Every inhabitant is compelled to ask for a Slicense and to pay for the same even in case h e wants to go the distance of a :ingle mile from the place of his residence. fre cannot remove his residence from one houso into another, without giving notice pre viously of hs mtention to the authorities, n. He is not permitted to lodg e in his house for a single night, any person, either native or foreigner, be thesmie his frend or a t em ber of his family, without giving the sane in. formation, also under the penalty of a like punishment. He may not have in his house any company or amusement of any sort, if hie does not so licit, obtain and pay for a license 82 50,) or ie must submit to oe mulcted for an infrac tion of the regulations. He pays6 to 1-2 per cent. of the value of any slave, or any property, in town r cou o itry, that he may sell, besides all other charges of notaries, of registration, of stamped paper, There is stamped paper, th e ssof which is enforced by the government, and sold by it at the priceof $8 every sheet, and it is noces wary on a solemn oath to prove one's property, mn order to be admitted to the use of ec'aper paper, a sheet of which costs six cents. Some moths ago an order was received by the Captain General of the Island, prohibitin parents from sending their children to th United States for" purposes of education; and such parents are now driven to the expedient of proving ill health er fdige it for their chit anyn, in order to obtain passports for them. In the whole island of Cuba a most brutal spirit of despotism is strikingly prevalent in all officials of the government, from the Cap tan..General down to the most abject of his hirelings, without even excepting municipal and other local authorities. In antanzas, Cardenas Guineas, Madruga, and other places, the most revolting scenes of torture, gallows, butcheries and infernal ma chinations were enacted in the year 1845, n. der the pretene isaof ueain a niospisay angfil th f tne goers n fonsteCp thermemer dof the corpotabjen of antan zsres wsievechss edfep aing sncpre toter oal PretoritAie aa Iaaa Inompaisnig of terGoenmen Gilias, &c.g anterplacesttisea mostaeoftheg scn-o cnatiopes theact itsian eariot 5 w sifor merlsy aretient. of thatrci viH as neerac aeengi the nedStae..eetGnai 8swor sve reyiouslyiheld anhicr svin phe others.o Apthough aon rspect edbytheago vernment foa eoriealessadivociac at repub., cnaisn the m ere use of iight& Gasthis: He.-I i had wihistakerof underineds te ptprsarlesa thiealiae atrot fortepr pse of broingeist of twa ity, gunowera wen beisthe giandya Samily sold let prenits 1hisplo having eenosl discoeeds uhie iets t nightin hais nsavals wafrms nbr me r- 1 h o chat ofse ound fory' Monthvido The.i cap-d othd gers.m entg loss ssue byommando ofershipes for ispeis fs dvcc f uepsibced liniedn theimat casee of his flightenrd wat' thise i popua cause ter usensiirse s t. h'e rles oflGee, and feogh manr batpu tpos-epria of blwgi pwich uswetha 'ofeSt. Atnilot wherm e wt dthree hred Im ent at das eife asislesated tisswohd satouned him bwitsh Arcrrespy ovendet te Issmd omlussrated oetes t she s aw Ii pla nlistnh da hscmeil let andon Hesis aa reatrkabltcviet Io ok iind ern bue wofnderflyihtursdenere isut. dn the os aset here li t e exchsrded to the ranf et, anh ouced in ihe morn ingstentriscpn t widraw wisth at hif own andi, nd eras wiy thers o hree corpidedts as deed inclied t jolin hadsir.ouidhtsth, tsys thes"iurs' orsodnt.wr c correpodent bhio the hiohe bans,ian, -nm facti, nuthevoourrf of te afiernoon f th frod, the founesthimef atuothehead iof 40li0 iniru bantry and as00 hose ofitheo fre cors as there ieterined to make aitsan In theitAbruz.' .cior cti setay i ssi to eiebs,atid,. in fas arted orn thse ist'.,in if twn, (st.li JoundphMself atthe headc of Judge n fatsryh frand 0her, itbwic chrging .eudg to dearied tosak asteand p setitirune (ior at haneo way u itoi s ito countye,-', th ARERET OF Con.--No.-l'n ct. rJo -'seromphe wulorkan's ofAg.

Triumph of the Allied DUeepots. 'Tie gallant stand made by the Hungarians gainst the combined armies of Russia and Aus ria, its the opening scones of the campain, led as to hope that for once, in the history of inolorn LBuropo, success would attend the cause of in. lom, although despotism had as- usual the net :aunon. But the news brought by the Niagara lissolves the illusion. Austria alone, the H1 ung. irians might have coped with, indeed they had roved themselves Snore than a match for liar egions, but the Czar throw his sword and purso uto the scale against their liberties and, low "Ilungary lies prostrate at the cet or his imporial majesty." iler lead. rs have done nil that skill, during, and patrie ismn could do, but they have been ovorwielmied I )y a military avalanche. It is hinted in stoe of he letters published by the London press, that General Gorgey surrendered not to the arms nt to the golden arguments of Russia. We do lot credit the rumor. Any one who reviews tho ::using incidents of the campaign will see that rarther resistuneo would have been mnidness Demnbinskui, Heln, Vu ter, and Anilich were in rull flight, with the victorious Rlus.ians and Aus itmnos at their heeps, and how could it be expec- a ed that Gorgey, without monev, with proviaio.,s it the head of 27,000 man,' ani'd with superior 7 armies beforo and behinad him, could keep the field? It was simply a choice between snrrender iud annihilation, and he ought to be blam d for a refusing to sacrifice his bravo compaians in a inns in a hopeless cause. We fear that the cause of liberalism in Europe a for the present prostrated. Shame upon the go. verament of Fraence, that stood by and saw llun. s gury crushed without alluring a single renon. strance! Shamoe upon the ses-ra:. from the ['or-ican eagle's nest. that virtunily sided with C Russia and Austria in the struggle! Shame up.. mk England, that she raised kint her ptentiul voice, when Itussia marched her legions to the old of perjured Austria! 'Tho war uguin.t ilun- t ,ary was fur the abrogation of chartered privil tges given under the hand and seal of the infami. sus house of llapsburg Lorraine, and Eaglhad, sid France, stirred not t fingtr for the right. t Let them beware. 'I he western barrior to the a progress of drlopotisun is broken down, and its ! frontier will be advanced. Ilungary fought not g for republicanism, but against ie violation of a uarantees, constitutions, treaties. Laaw-the c aw of nations-was on her side. She fulls, and n her fall Absolutism establishes a precedent for tie repudiation of its solena obligations. Was t wise in the liberal governments of Europe to a wink at tins eiormity? 'I'Their turn iaay come next. 'ho Cossack revolution, which from a ji-tance they contemplate so philosophically, has ' R piogressive pritac'ple in it, as they may one day t Jiscover to their cost. We give below a digast of the most important European iktelligence: l'lkadssary, c The disastrous sews from Hungary was re :eived in London from three sources, the journa's f f Vienna. Berlin, and Paris, and although there 1 ire some diacrepaunies beta ecu the accounts, t Lhey agree as to the main facts. The Vienna account, transnaialed from War- I saw, is that on the 18th of August General Gor- - gey, at the head of 30,00 men, quartered at i Vilagos, surrendered at discretion to Marshal Paskiewjtch. The C 'in account savs that the C surrender took place at Arad on the 1 ith of An. b Rust, and that Gorgey obtained honorable condi Lions. Whichever of these versions may be cor rect there is no doubt that the submissiun of the p General-im -Chief of the Hlungarian army, and f corps inder his ism:nediato command, is a .Ir ACCuor Li. t Thie mkotives for this course are obviousritnough.

The people ave in some countries, obtained a show of -edom, but things are settling down upon 1 old monarchical platform, and all these iisfortunes have been brought about by the rgachery of the French government, which, ndcr the gard of a Ropubiic, has been stead. y attempting to revive legitimacy, which has ethroned one King to place another in ower. In less than one year things will beas mcy were, the power of thrones has been only Iraken, they still remain firm.

In a fit of delirium, he seized a razor from a table near at hand, and with it, made a severe in cision into his neck.
