What a painful and noxious disease is the Piles ! and , comparatively , how few of the afflicted have been pern * nently cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill !

trance . Serious disorders have broken out at the town of Bonrg S . Andeol , in the department of Ardeche . The procureur of the republic proceeded , at the ht&i of eighty gensdinnes , to execute a warrant of tbejuge eTinstruction at Lyons for the arrest of the deputy-mayor of Saint Andeol , bus waB met . by discbarges of arms from behind barricades . The Officer at the head of the gendarmes was womded in the jaw . The commissary of police drew bis sword and killed one of the insurgents , me moD having been dispersed , the deputy-mayor was seized where he im
and led away to Mon telimart , was - prisoneS . The Prefect of the Ardeche proceeded to the 8 pot and effected other arrests without ^ resistance . 300 stand of arms , belonging partly to the insurgents , and partly to the dissolved National Guard of the place , together with seventeen pn-Bonew , left for Privas , the chef-lieu of the Ardeche , acc ompanied by an imposing escort . Though the emeute was soon suppressed , it appears pretty certain that it was intended as the commencement of a series of insurrections in that and the neig h ' bauring departments . Six barricades erected in a town which does not count 5 , 000 inhabitants , of
whom 200 or 300 were insurgents , was not a bad example to larger localities . It is stated that Allais , the police agent , who gave information of the pretended conspiracy to assassinate M . Dupin and General Charuarnicr , bas all but admitted that the whole was a mystification ; and he is to be prosecuted . It appears that he was connected with the socialists in Rouen , and took part in the rising of 1848 . He then transferred his services as a spy to the Central Commissary of Police in that city , and we presume as a reward "as promoted to his position in the Legislative Chamber .
The trial of M . Nefizer , responsible editor of the 'Presse / forthe publication of the mock message inserted in that newspaper , has came off before the Court of Assizes of the Seine . The offence charged in the indictment was publication with bad faith of false news , and of a forged document falsely attributed to a third person , which news ar . d document were of a nature to disturb the public peace . The demand of M . Neffter to be assisted by M . Emile Girardin as counsel was not complied with Isy the court . The advocate-general , M , Sain , in
addressing the jury for the prosecution , dwelt upon the danger of allowing similar forgeries to pass unpunished . Perhaps a more audacious figment bad sever issued from the press tban this patchwork composed of passages extracted here and there from pamphlets , some of which had been published eighteen years ago , by M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , and presented to the public as a most solemn and authentic official document , concerning which the public curiosity was at that moment highly excited .
M . Nefizer , who read his defence , reminded the court that the' Pays / a journal of the Elysee , had printed last October , under the head of ' Erratum ' in the 'Moniteur / s violent diatribe against M . Dnpiu , which was put into the mouth of the President and addressed to the ablegate of the holy see . Yet the ' Pays' bad not been prosecuted for falsely attributing to the President -what he had sever said . M . Neffzer proceeded to argue that the document complained of was neither forged , nor such as could deceive any person ef the least
discernment ; and if punishment were to be awarded for the commotion produced by such news in the departments , and the perturbation occasioned to commerce , what document bad produced a greater shock tbronghontFranee than thePresident ' smeasage of the 31 st of October . After the president of the conrthid summed up , the jury , after deliberating twenty minutes , returned a verdict affirmative upon the two counts of the indictment without attenuating circumstances . The court then sentenced M . Kefizer to one year of imprisonment , 2 , 000 fr . fine , and ordered the destruction of all the numbers
seized . M . Neffzer bas appealed against the sentence ai the Court of Assizes of the Seine . The director of the' Courrier Frangais' was fined l , 500 f ., and the f Monitaur du Soir' 500 f ., by the Police Court of Paris on Saturday for a -violation of the new law requiring that all political articles shall 6 e signed by their author . The severity of the sentence pronounced against M . Courtoia , editor of the ' Corsaire , for an article Tenting some sarcasms against the President , in consequence of the military banquets , is worthy of the worst times of prosecution against the press . The greater part of the offensive composition , for which
M . Courtois has been condemned to one year s imprisonment , consists of a string of harmless jokes upon the gastronomic appeal made to the soldiers to excite their zeal in the imperialist cause . In one passage only the writer seems to have exceeded tbe limits of reasonable satire . He says , in reference to tbe sword of Sobieski , which the Poles presented to Napoleon : — ' By a freak of fortnne , the sabre of Sobieski fell into the hands of a nephew of the great man . O profanation ! the scamp sold it for some crowns , and now behold this noble blade turned into truffles and champagne 1 The hilt , enriched with jewels , ha 3 , perhaps , been dropped behind the scenes of the opera . '
31 . Dufougerais , in his defence , proved satisfactorily that this passage wa 3 not applicable to Louis Napoleon , bnt to his cousin , Napoleon Jerome , who had been attacked in previous numbers of the ' Corsaire / for having sold the sacred relic , bequeathed by . the Emperor to his brother Jerome , to the Museum ' ¦ of Artillery for £ 480 . The rigour used in dealing with tbe press is visible in another occurrence . M . Songere , responsible editor of the ' Siecle , ' having been recently condemned to three months' imprisonment , was sent for to tbe court , and on his appearance was arrested , in defiance of the usage which sllows journalists under snch circumstances to put their affairs in order . It is stated , in certain political circles in Paris , that as soon as Germany shall be re-organised with her regular Diet , and her Federal Army , the Diet
will address tbe Grand Council of Switzerland with , a protocol reminding it of the guarantees of 1815 , and demanding their complete execution . It is added that Russia , Austria , and Prussia will adhere to that protocol , which will be left open to France as the Power not tbe least interested on account of ber geographical position . Should Switzerland answer by a refnaal , France will be asked if she is disposed to co-operate in the occupation of Geneva and Lausanne , with the allies occupying tbe otber cantons . Should France decline , the army of the German Federation will occupy Switzerland by Zurich , and tbe Austrians by the canton of Tessin , with the object of freeing that conntry from the demagogues ' who incessantly menace the tranquillity of the governments and of tbe people . ' Such is tbe policy which , in the political circles referred to , 13 considered likely to be acted upon by the Powers in tbe course of next
Bpnng . Saturday ' s debate in the Assembly presented the painful spectacle of a question of humanity being treated as a question of party . It is possible ( says the correspondent of the . 'Daily News' ) that the statements of the Mountain with regard to the starvation and ill-treatment of the prisoners in Belleisle and Moat St . Michael may be over-coloured and grounded upon accidental exceptions ; but of this there can be no doubt , that political prisoners are in France subjected to a much more rigorous treatment than common felons . To this fact a minute personal inspectioa of the prisons of Paris enables me to bear tbe most positive testimony . Let any impartial
witness compare the treatment of the common felons in St . Pelagie witb the iot of the political offenders in the cellular prison of the Rue Mazas . At the former a housebreaker may open and shut his window as be vranSs air or warmth , may talk to his fellow prisoners , obtain what meat or wine he pleases for his money , and converse without hindrance with visitors , whereas the ocenpant of the prison of Mazas , whose error , homer deplorable for society , has been at tended with no moral degradation , is obliged to breathe a foetid air which is conducted by a detestable contrivance of ventilation through tbe breathing holes of his cell ; bis window may give him li g ht , but no air ; bis door may not be opened without a special permission ; he must not converse with his
fellow-p risoners , nor address the guardian fora want above his breath ; he can procure no food but the prison diet , which is a watery mash of potatoes or pulse , day about , with meat once a week . The verv circumstance of the bell-handles having been exchanged for ropes , in consequence of the number of prisoners who committed suicide by hanging themselves on the former , whereas the latter cannot be used without alarming the guardians , is an appalling indication of the amount of torture inflicted on the prisoner by the intense rigour of tha coercion applied in aU ways with unrelated gripe . It was proved on Saturday that the mdst cmphalic piCtureB whicH can be drawn of human torture may ba received in a Legislative Assembly with shouts of laughter . It natters little whether such a mode of receiving seri-

ous statemen ts be traceable to callous inhumanity : or shallow incredulity . The effect remains the flame . Tbe political prisoners of Belleisle and Mazas must continue to hang themselves , in their cells , and to address petitions to the Minister to exchange their lot for that of the bagnio , because their treatment ii made a party question , and every consideration of ustice and humanity must be sacrificed to the par . liamentary object of inflicting a signal defeat on the Mountain . Instead of a committee of inquiry being appointed the house passes by an immense majority to the pure and simple order of the day . M . Charles Lesseps was arrested on Tuesday morning , on the charge of complicity with the anthers of the Lyons plot .
In the discussion in bureaus on the appointment of a Committee to examine the bill to meet the expense of the 40 , 000 additional troops , all the leaders of the Moderate party gave it as their decided opinion that the committee should formally express its approbation of the pacific feelings put forth , in the President ' s Message , and its expectation that France should maintain the strictest neutrality in the affairs of Germany . The members chosen belong to the majority , and nearly all to the Orleanist party . M . Baroche has stated to the committee on the Assembly ' s commissary of police , that the government cannot admit the right of the bureau of the Assembly to exclusive competence in the dismissal of that functionary . Hence the conflict between the legislative and executive on this point is re-opened , and a strong debate is expected on the motion of the questors .
PRUSSIA . The Chambers were opened by the King in person on the 21 st . In his speech he attributed the last attempt at bis assassination to tbe excitement caused by the revolutionary press . Witb respect to tbe menaced war , he said : — ' My intention of procuring for the German nation a constitution corresponding to its necessities , remains as yet unrealised . I have held fast the idea which has laid at the raot of all my hitherto endeavours in hope of the future : I can resume tbe work of effectuating my designs only when the future configuration of the Germanic confederation has been settled . I
hope that the negotiations now in progreas for that purpose will attain to a prosperous result . I hope that our rising ( erhebung ) is contributing satisfactorily for tbe protection of our rights ; if this be attained that movement will be . without danger to the peace of Europe , for my people is not less wise than powerful . We do not seek war : we wish to abridge no man ' s rights , but we desire a constitution of the collective fatherland becoming the position of Prussia . ' As this seemed to point to a warlike policy , it was received with great satisfaction . But William Frederick is not famous for keeping his word . He is essentially a Jesuit .
Tbe lapse of twenty-four hours considerably abated the enthusiasm with which the whole of the deputies received the speech from the throne . The phrases , it is discovered , do not positively pledge the government to war , though they have a warlike sound , and therefore the organ of tbe party of M . Yincke thus condemns it : — ' The hope of the representatives of the people is disappointed . The speech gives no plainer indications as to the question which all Prussia has most at heart than had been before given by the Ministerial organs . The ambiguity of the expressions
the Ministers have placed in the mouth of the King has been so far from removing the apprehensions and suspicions which the Cabinet ' s love of negotiation bad created in the minds of a people armed for war , they are made more alarming by the solemnity of the occasion . . . The first half of the speech gives us occasion to admire the reliance of the Ministry on the fitness of measures which with rare unanimity were condemned by all parties . With unmistakeable firmness they praise the celebrated press decree , justified in the speech by the same arguments used when it was published to give it a more formidable character . '
This refers to the allusion in the speech to Sefeloge ' s attempt to shoot tbe King . The occasion was seized to issue some needlessly severe laws against the press ; but the allusion to the attempt in . the speech is still worse , as it is known that the criminal is reall y a maniac and has been insane from his youth ; it fs also known that be was educated in a military school , in an atmosphere of loyalty and devotion to the King ; that he bad not quitted the army , and that what associates he bad were rather of the ultra-Royalist party than among the revolutionists and democrats , who are openly
accused of being his misleaders . It is curious that of the two attempts on the King ' s life one should have been made by an official , and the other by a soldier—the two privileged classes of the people ; both were denied special favours to which they thought themselves entitled , and brooded over the fancied wrong ; but there was no suspicion of politics having anything to do with either case ; and the introduction of the allusion to regicide and its causes into the speech is felt to be a mistake , since no one connects the press with the attempt at all .
The reports of so many kinds which are met with in the Berlin journals are not calculated to calm the public mind . Austria has not accepted any of the Prussian propositions , which seem to have been offered rather to save appearances than to give satisfaction to the Prussian policy and people . The free conferences , which seem to be all that Prussia can obtain , lose their character in the circumstances under which it is proposed to hold them . They are to be held in the capital of Austria , and their
result is to be communicated to tbe Diet at Frank , fort for confirmation . This is what the last note of the Vienna cabinet requires , and its concession would he the recognition of the Diet before the conferences open . Before these conferences com . mence Prussia is publicly to dissolve the union . Prussia bas hoped to be able to divide the odium of this abandonment with its associates ; but the members of the union have refused to lend themselves to this manoeuvre , and Prussia must bow ber head . ¦¦ - ¦
The democratic party prophesied long ago all that we now see . They declared that aU was a comedy to amuse and deceive the people . They divined justly in this matter . The last mail from Berlin brings a number of tbe ' New Preussische Zeitung , ' in which we read : 1 We shall not have mobilised the army in vain , for we shall before long free Neufcbatel from the yoke of the stranger . ' Tbis journal is the organ of the Russian party at Berlin . The armaments of Prussia are thus desired to be turned against Switzerland . It is doubtful if this will take place , for that would be another fault , another crime , for it would tend to embroil still further the affairs of Europe , and tbe further this embroilment proceeds the more certainly will a revolution break out , which mig ht make a tabula rasa of all continental dynasties .
The Emperor of Russia has reiterated his demand for the immediate intervention in Scbleswig Holstein , and threatened Prussia with his army if she opposes it . The czar would not object ,, however , to the pacification being accomplished by Prussia . The free conferences appear to be decided on , witb a dual executive organ for Germany of great power . The military movement throughout PraBsia is described as almost unexampled in tbe annals of any nation . From one end to the other the country is one vast camp ; and from tbe lowest peasant to tbe man of highest rank , —mechanics , physicians , lawyers , students , bankers , merchants , and nobles , — all appear under arms , all appear breathing the
same martial spirit , and desirous of war . So convinced are people of the certainty of a popular movement throughout the length and breadth of the Prussian land , that the German refugees who bad been residing in Switzerland have crossed the frontier and entered the Prussian territory , in order to be ready for any emergency—for foreign or civil war—that may arise from the agitated condition of the kingdom . It is considered by those' wbo are acquainted with the present feeling of the people and the army that , should Prussia escape a war with Austria , nothing short of a miracle can save the King from his own people j and , whether he attempts to stem the current , or goes with it , his fate will be that of the unfortunate Charles Albert—abdication and exile , if nothing worse .
A telegraphic despatch from the British government in anticipation of the arrival of Lord Westmorland has been sent to Berlin . . In this despatch England insists on Prussia keeping the peace with Austria . Great Britain : allows the etqppe roads ,-but she insists on the pacification of Holstein being left to the four great Powers ; A Russian corps of observation is concentrated in Poland , close to the Prussian frontier .

The ' ConaUtutionnelle Zeitung ' has been confiscated , and its editor banished from Berlin . .
The Austrian and Russian despatches have been officially communicated to the Address Commission of the Lower House . They made a powerful impression on the members . " AUSTRIA . Tbe rumoured escape of Kossuth causes the government great tribulation . Should he arrive in Hungary it will be difficult for the Imperialists to hold the country with so few troops in it , The agitation in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces seem to increase rather than diminish , and it is so notorious that the spirit of disaffection is kept alive by the priesthood that the Civil Governor of Venice has been induced to issue a circular , in which
the spiritual advisers of the people are . reproached in no measured terms for making and meddling in politics . The inhabitants of Milan and Venice imitate the example of the Hungarians , and the coins minted during the revolution are mounted and worn as bracelets . A few days since a descent was made by tbe police on the jewellers' shops , and all the bracelets of the above-mentioned description seized . A commission has been formed by government to take into consideration the present sad condition of Venice . Its members * propose that the whole of Venice should become a free port as in former times , or that Trieste and Fiume should be reduced to simple entrepots . Government will certainly not listen to the latter proposal . . ¦ '¦¦
A terrible ' panic prevailed on the Vienna Exchange on the 22 nd . Gold rose to thirty-nine , and silver to thirty-two per cent , premium . A fall of from two to three per cent , was observable In tbe value of Austrian paper on the Frankfort Exchange . ¦
HESSE CASSEL . November 24 . —In Hanau the Elector ' s counsellors are quarrelling bitterly among themselves . Many of them have demanded leave of absence , which the prince has not in any case granted . On one of these occasions a scene took place between the Elector and Hassenpflug . The Elector , in answer to his demand for leave , cried out , ' You have deprived me of my army , and now you would deprive me of my council . The' Frankfort Journal' of November 24 ih Bays that on the previous day the taunting words that are continually passing between the troops assumed a very threatening aspect . The Prussians , who were encouraged by the enthusiasm of the people , were with difficulty held back from coming to open battle with the Bavarians and Austrians .
On the 23 rd ( says the same journal ) a part of the long expected reserve of the 32 nd Regiment of Infantry arrived at Cassel . The troops marched , with their bands playing national Prussian airs , through the illuminated streets . On the 24 th the other part of the reaerve entered the city , which makes the actual garrison to amount to 2 , 000 men .
ITALY . ROME . —The Giornale di Roma , ' of the 15 th , has a leader on the present agitation in England . It tells its readers that the government has not given ear to the ' furious tempest ' raised by the papers against the Papal brief which restores the Catholic hierarchy in England ; that it has : remained calm in the midst of meetings , circulars ,-and addresses , and that it will not yield to petitions and questions in parliament . It asserts that the law of the land has been respected , and denies the assertion of tbe Bishop of London , that the brief it a negation of the spiritual power of the Queen . 'The English Catholic subjects , it adds , have never acknowledged that p ower , and those who daily embrace
Catholicism deny it formally . And yet these subjects wbo are now depicted as rebels , are , on tbe contrary , excellent citizens in the eyes of the government itself . If it be so , and if the English Catholics are to enjoy the same rights as their countrymen , it is clear that the brief has not attacked the spiritual authority' of the chief of the State , since the Catholics do not acknowledge it . ' It further contends that the new territorial division established by the brief , is hot contrary to the Emancipation Act , and that the Catbolics are protected by that act , while Methodists and other Disaentera are merely tolerated . It concludes with a hope that parliament will take no serious notice of the matter , and look upon it as an affair of etiquette .
NAPLES . —In this country the usual tyranny and injustice prevails . The state trials have been resumed , and though two of the accused were ill and unable to attend , it was resolved to proceed in their absence . The judges declared that as the law gave only six months to hear a case , and as that period was nearl y expired in the present instance , it was declared necessary to go on with the trial without having recourse to the alternative which the law provides , of beginning again the cause . The prisoners finding no hope of justice , prayed the court to extend the period of six months , as it was argued very eloquently by one of the prisoners , Piroute , that the court bad occupied five
months and a half in the accusation , and now it was sought to restrict the defence of forty men within a period of a few days only , and that , too , when two of the accused were ' npn . ' This request was answered by a reply from the bench , that they should consult their own convenience , and prolong the period allowed by law , if necessary . The lawyers who represented the accused who were absent were compelled to- answer for their clients pendente lite . Both prisoners and lawyers protested in vain against the whole proceeding , when the trials were continued by calling a priest who was proved to have been sent into the prisons as a spy to gather opinions of political offenders . After having reported and denounced a number of persons , this priest applied to the King for bis
reward . The ex-minister , Baron . t * oerio , rose and presented the court with 8 copy of the petition to the King , which asked his . Majesty for a chapel 1 The production of this and other similar documents produced an immense sensation in the court . It is one of the many proofs of the dishonest means employed by tbe government to incriminate the prisoners , and in this instance , coup led with the audacious act of asking the King to reward a sconndrelism horrible to contemplate , especially in a priest of tbe church . His Excellency the Hon . W . Temple , and many other foreigners , were present , and witnessed tbis degradation both of tbe government and police . On the following day the King , hearing of the scandalous proceedings , ordered that three months more should be allowed the prisoners for their defence .

' The diligence , from Madrid to Seville , which arrived at Ecija on the 7 th , had been detained and robbed , at two a . m ., at the Cerro de Perea , about two leagues from Ecija . Two civil , guards accompaniedthe diligence , an infantry soldier going with the mayoral , and a calvalry soldier riding' behind the diligence . The latter was surprised and seized by three robbers on horseback , while their companions ( four in number , and also mounted ; rode on and stopped the diligence . The infantry soldier of the civil guard made a , brave resistance { placing
himself behind the mules , he fired three times at the robbers ; but at last , being surrounded by them , he fell , mortally wounded by two balls discharged at him point blank . The robbers , stripped the cavalry soldier , rand took away his horse ; and then led the diligence off the road into an olive plantation , where they made the passengers lie down in the usual , manner , and took away . their money , jewels , and ; other valuables , to the , amount altogether of . . about 30 , 000 reals—occupying three hours in the process ; they then made off , and the diligence , having been got out wi th difficulty proceeded on its way , with the wounded civil guard , who expired shortly afterwards .

the dry grass on the prairie . The wind was very high at the time , and the flames spread with such rap idity that a great many of the fences , outstanding crops , and some buildings , for miles around , were enveloped in one sheet of fire . The Indians , just previous to the conflagration , were discovered in the act of Betting fire to the prairie in a number of different places . The Omahas inhabit a portion of the Missouri territory , some sixty miles above Fort Leavenwortb . They are described as one of the most dangerous and treacherous of the Indian tribes , and will be likely to cause the pioneer farmers of the backwoods a good deal of trouble .
The other- day a couple of ' slave-catchers arrived at Chicago , in pursuit of two female fugitives , who had , however , left a few hours in advance . The men pursued their journey to Detroit , where they expected to meet their victims , but the tele ? grap h was immediately at work , and , long before the arrival of the ' gentlemen from the south , ' a steamer had been chartered , and bad started off to meet the steamer having the females on beard , and they were taken off and conveyed to the Canada shore in safety . This excitement consequent ; on the Fugitive Slave Bill , during the past week , has been in some degree swallowed up by the stir and bustle of the elections , which have been the all-absorbing topic throughout the country . The bill has received , many bard knocks , however , at ward and districb election
meetings . Frederick Douglas has been delivering lectures again st the fugutive law in various parts of the country / and he is said to have been well attended , and to have produced a favourable , impression . Mr , George Thompson , M . P ., was to have Im ' reception , ? in Boston , on the evening of the 15 th inst ., at Faneuil Hall . It was to be A Gathering of the Friends of Reform , International Amity , and Universal Emancipation . ' Mr . Thompson had announced lectures on British India .
A couple of extraordinary human curiosities have recently been brought here , and are now on exhibition . They consist of a boy and girl of an almost extinct race of Central America . They have been well described as the most outre lookiDg objects ever brought to this country . The boy is tbirtytwb inches in hei ght , and weighs IGlbs ., and in tbe opinion of medical authority ig about ten years old . The g irl is twenty-eight inches in , height , weighs 141 b 8 ., and is believed to be about eight years of age . Their heads are not larger , than a new-born infant's , end they may be almost said to be destitute of foreheads while their noses are finely developed , straight and long , and project at a
well-defined angle . Their eyes are full , dark , and lustrous . Their heads are covered with strong , dark hair , which descends forward nearly to the eyebrows ; the face very sharp , the upper lip projecting , and the chin receding in a corresponding degree . They are said to belong to the . surviving remnant of an ancient order of priesthood , called' Kaanas , ' which , by constant intermarriage within their own caste , bas dwindled down to a few individuals ,, diminutive in Btature and ' imbecile in intellect . Their heads and faces resemble exactly the figures on the basTreliefs on the temple ruins described in Stephens ' s ' Central America / These children are lively , playful , and affectionate , but all attempts to teach them a word of English have hitherto proved
unsuccessful . Last evening , in the course of a visit to their rooms , a" medical friend who accompanied me held out his watch to the boy whenhe instantly placed his ear in contact with it , as if to listen to its ticking ; and at one time , as he turned affectionately towards a little girl among the visitors , I told the girl to 'kiss him , whenhe immediately placed himself in an attitude and protruded ' his face ; the . child , however , withdrew fri g htened , and I Held my cheek to him , when he instantl y approached and greeted me with a kiss . They both—but particularly the boy—have a regard to their' keeper , ' and at all times readily recognise him as he calls them by name . It is not improbable that these children will be carried to England shortly for exhibition .
THE HUNGARIANS IN IOWA . The following is from the New York Tribune' : — ' "We translate from the ' Anzeiger des Westens ' the following extracts of a letter from tbe venerable governor Ujbazy to Mr ; Bornstein , the editor of that paper . It vividly describes the difficulties which the emigrants had in gaining their new abode , and exhibits the spirit with which , after having struggled to the last against Austrian usurpation and loyal treachery , they now confront the rugged obstacles : with which unsubdued nature surrounds the settler in the great wild west . The brave old man writes as follows : —
' Our journey by land from Burlington here was the most difficult undertaking I have had to go through since I turned my back on my own coun * try . The . bodily exertion and fatigue connected with it , were not so exhausting as the labours which met us here—though we can now prosecute them rather more at leisure . The anxieties and cares of our uncertain situation added to the painful character of the journey . For the greater part of the way we travelled over a wild country , without roads or bridges , crossing rivers and gulleyi , in constant fear of breaking our waggons and losing our remaining effects . In addition my two daughters fell ill ; the measure of my trouble was full . In regard to the length ef our journey , all our former calculations were disappointed , since instead of eight or ten days itlaBtedone month . There were days when we
could not make more than two or three miles , being obliged to take all the cattle belonging to our four waggons , to haul a single waggon over the many steep bills we passed . I had , in company with iny friends , four teams of my own , and was obliged to hire a fifth at Burlington . It would have amused you to see our former Hungarian gentlemen turned teamsters , and as such , instead of holding political discourses , carrying on a laconic and impressive conversation with their oxen ; What we did not know we soon learned , and finally our little caravan carae to the promised banks of Thomson River . ' The view of tbe beautiful stream cauaed us to forget the difficulties of the journey , and thanked that Providence , which has suffered me at last to reaeb this first place of rest in my new future .
' Our settlement is in Decatur County , in the southern part of Iowa , and only a few miles , from the Missouri-boundary . In order to honour the memory of our never-to-be-forgotten fatherland , and to remind « 3 of occurrences which will never be blotted from th ' epages of the world's history ^ 1 have given our new-born colony the name of New-Buda . ' .. ' . '' . ' With the situation and adaptation of our settlement we are thus far perfectly satisfied . The soil is of the most ' fertile quality , very easy to be worked , and will give a plentiful return to labour . The locality consists of a broad valley , of alternate prairie and woodland , divided from north to south by the Thomson River ( named Crooked Fox It . on the maps ) . This is one of the minor rivers of the United States , but
unquestionably one of the . most , beautiful ; its crystal water , the best I ever drank , flows over a sandy and pebbl y bottom . A portion of the rolling prairie is admirably adapted for the , cultivation of the grape . The right bank of . the . river is still entirel y free , and I have taken possession of it '; in order , however , to govern on both sidesi Iwas obli ged to buy out , for 200 dollars , the claim of a squatter on the left bank . This I did very unwillingl y , becauseThave little money ; and had resolved'to pay nothingfdr a claim in a land where there is so much of the public domain unoccupied . But the necessity of oivning both banks of the river was too evident , Bince the stream is well adapted for mills and manufactories , which we may ! be able to erect in the . future . Under : such circumstances I have occupied a tolerable large tract , which jnay help but cannot injure : our prospect ., ¦ ...... : ' ' . ' ¦ ..
