Prince Windischgriitz has issued the following proclamation for the ex-

press behoof of the Hungarians: its savage cruelty confounds all distinctions of innocence and guilt-

" Head-quarters, Nicola, 26th December 1348. "Any inhabitant who is taken with a weapon of any description in his hand will be immediately hanged.

"If the inhabitants of any place shall, united, dare to attack any Imperial Royal military courier, any transports, any or single commanding officers, or to injure them in any way soever, such place shall be made level with the earth, "The authorities of the different places shall answer with their heads for the preservation of the public peace.

"Prince WLIDLSCEIGRATZ, Field-Marshal."

General Bem is understood to have gone from Transylvania by way of Bistritz to the Bukowina, probably with the intention of getting up a re- volution in Poland. That country is at present comparatively unprotected; all spare troops having marched under Field-Marshal Lieutenant Schlich into Hungary. It also appears that Kossuth entertains the same idea, and it is probable that he is now on his road to Gallicia across the Carpathians. The official report of the defeat of Meszaros mentions a Polish correspond- ence of great consequence as having fallen into the hands of the Im- perialists: it seems that Meszaros also was marching towards the same- quarter.
