the side of insurrection.

Within the last week the Vienna court, and Count Latour, the War Minister, especially, have been pub- licly convicted of the most gross and revolting treach- ery towards the Hungarians. In the very face of the most solemn promises, assertions and protestations, that neutrality should be observed between Croat and Hungarian, letters were seized, showing that the Croats and Jellachiens were the mere instruments of the court of Vienna, receiving arms, pay, and orders direct from Latour and the Arch-duchess Sophia.

The people of Vienna, witnesses of this. treachery towards the Hungarians, who had aided them in com- pleting and upholding their revolution, could not but feel that the same false and treacherous policy would be observed towards them if the Hungarians were pat down. War had been just declared against the Hun- garians.. The court had thrown off the mask, and ap- pointed Jellachich its commander-in-chief.

During some time past, the democrats. had been actively engaged in propagating amongst the military the principle of fraternisation with the people. ‘Their labours were not unsuccessful, particularly amongst the German grenadiers. in garrison in Vienna. This fact was not unknown to the authorities, and it was accord- mgly resolved to send two.grenadier battalions out of the capital and to forward them to Moravia, in order to incorporate them with the army preparing there to make an attack on the Hungarians. This contemplated removal of favourite troops for the purpose of being vppesed to.a party for which all the popular sympathies are enlisted, created considerable discontent, particular- jy in the suburb af Gumpendor, in which the barracks af the grenadiers were situated.

Early on the morning of the Gth the grenadiers were

ordered to march, and join the expedition against the|barding the arsenal, andthe firing contigued all the

Ilungarians, They did not, indeed, refuse to quit the Jarracks, out they were forewarned of their march and its object, and had communicated with the corps of national guards of the suburb of Guwpendorf, in which their barracks were situate, and with the academical legion, frou..both of which they received a promise that measures would be taken to prevent their departure. Some measures, were indeed taken. ‘The national’ guards from the Hunadsthurm assembled at 6 o’clock on the morning of the Gth atthe terminus.of the nor- thern railroad, from which they removed the: rails, for the purpose of preventing the departure ofthe gren- adiers. The latter arrived soon after, and the command- ing officer, seeing that the removai of his troops-by rail was impossible, gave orders for their. proceeding en foot, to Gansendorf, a station on the line, from whence

University-buildings. Formidable barricades were con- strueted while this fight was going on. ‘The old forti- fications of the city were occupied by the artillery of the national guards.

After this the tide of insurrection rose to an uncon- querable height. The rioters entered the War-office’ between the hours of five and six, seized the cannon and arms deposited in that buildinz, and captured the

It appears, that a deputation from the Diet,| with.the vice president Smolka at their head, were at) the time.in the residence of the Minister of War; but) that all their endeavours, seconded by members of the | academieal legion, were unavailing, to avert his fate. |

At half past six o’clock. there was but one place of) refuge left for the troops and national guards who sided | with the government—that place was the arsenal, fa- nous for its glorious trophies from the Turkish wars,—| The people surrounded the arsenal, and demanded from) the garrison that they should give up the arms which it contained, ‘They refused. A combat commenced, in| the course of which the garrison swept the Renngasse | with grape and canister, and:killed and disabled a great, number of the insurgents, whose fury increased after each unsaccessful attempt-to possess the building.—)| The committee of students sent flags of truce, summon-| ing the garrison to surrender, but the bearers were shot dead on. the spot. ‘The people then commenced bom-'

been deprived of the distinguished talents and abilities ©

of a gentleman who, 27 years ago, was called to the English Bar and practised thereat, and who since that period has been uniformly engaged in the duties of his profession in the West Indies and other British Colonies, under the operation of an Act eminently designed to foster the particular interests of some half a dozen of

| individaals composing the local Bar of the place, at the

expense of the public interests. Surely this is a state of things which ought not to be tolerated. Is it by ineasnres of restriction that this Colony is to go ahead, rather is it not by those-of the directly opposite tenden- cy? Inthe meantime what raparation do the framers and compilers contemplate offering to their justly of- fended constituencies for the part they have taken in concocting this abuse of the powers entrusted to them, is a question I leave them to answer. My time will not permit my further continuing the subject, which I have no doubt will be taken up by abier peas. I am, Sir, TRUTH. November 2, 1548.

[The Act regulating the admission of Barristers was introduced into the House of Assembiy, if we recollect rightly, by Mr. Palmer. Relating solely to his own profession, it was left, on its second reading, to the care of himself and his brother Barristers, Messrs. Long- worth and Haviland. Being ip the House on the occa- sion of its second reading, we remember distinctly that there was no debate on any of its clauses, the unprofesa- sional members taking it for granted, we presume, that the gentlemen of the long robe had the best right to judge what provisions would or would not subserve the public interest, in reference tothe admission of Barris- ters. Confiding in their integrity as Lawyers, it was not supposed, we apprehend, by any other member ot the House, that the slightest advantage would be taken to introduce into the practice of the Law the cursed principle of monopoly which retards improvement in
