Hungarians near Szörge (Aug. 5) and near Temesvár (Aug. 9), by which victory he rescued that fortress, and virtually terminated the war. The emperor of Austria rewarded him with the governorship of Hungary, and gave him extensive estates. The execution of the 13 Hungarian generals at Arad, as well as of Batthyanyi and numerous other patriots at Pesth, took place under his command. His intractable and haughty temper, which on many occasions had brought him into collision with his superiors, at length caus

atic marriage with him assumed the name of Frau von Lindenheim. Two daughters and 4 sons resulted from this marriage, who adopted the name of their mother's birthplace. The eldest son, Wilhelm (1779-1856), became known by the unpopular part which he took in the affairs of Hesse-Cassel in 1850; the 2d son, Friedrich, was minister of war of the elector from 1853 to 1855; the 3d son, Ludwig, died in Heidelberg in 1843; and the 4th son, the subject of this notice, entered the Austrian service in 1801 as lieutenant, was wounded and cap-ed him to be dismissed from the public service, tured in the campaign of 1805 near Nördlingen, was in 1813 and 1814 with the army in Italy, and in 1815 on the upper Rhine. He became military commander of Gratz in 1844, and of Temesvár in 1847. Radetzky, who entertained a high regard for his military abilities, appointed him commander of Verona in 1848. In the night of July 24-25 he despatched, upon his own responsibility, a number of soldiers to Somma Campagna, and secured by this measure the victory of Custozza. Afterward he displayed his skill at the siege of Peschiera. He became notorious for his rigorous measures at Ferrara, Bergamo, and in other places; and his ruthless energy in quelling the insurrection of Brescia (March and April, 1849) spread terror among the Italian population. He subsequently took part in the siege of Venice, but on May 30 he was invited to assume the supreme command of the Austrian army in Hungary. He defeated the Hungarians near Raab and in other localities, and, protected in the flank and rear by the Russian forces, he rapidly advanced toward Szegedin, crossed the Theiss, routed the

July 6, 1850. He travelled in England, where, for his cruelty toward the Italians and Hungarians, and especially the ill treatment to which female political prisoners were said to have been subjected under his orders, he was assaulted by the draymen of Barclay's brewery in London, on his visit to that establishment in Sept. 1850, in such a violent manner that he barely escaped with his life. Other hostile demonstrations were made against him in Brussels and Hanover, and his sinister appearance, together with the many stories set afloat about his cruel disposition, caused him to be called the Austrian hyena. His name has certainly been more identified with Austrian oppression in Hungary and Italy than that of any other servant of the house of Hapsburg; but Baron Schönhals in his biography of his comrade, which appeared in Gratz in 1853, tries to exonerate him from the charge of intentional or constitutional cruelty, and asserts that he acted only in obedience to the orders of his masters. He left a large estate, but no male issue. His only daughter Klotilde is unmarried.
