GUYON, Ilicumm DEBAUFRE, a gen. in the Hungarian army during 1848-1849. was b. at Wolcott, near Bath, in England, in 1813. After having fought against Dom Miguel in Portugal, Guyon entered the Austrian service in 1832; and on being attached as aid-de-camp to Baron Splenyi, married the daughter of that general in 1838. From that time till the outbreak of the revolution, Guyon led the life of a country gentleman on his estates near Comorn, but was one among the first to offer his services to the national government, and acted a prominent part in the struggle for independence. During the retreat of Gomel's army, Guyon carried the mountain-pass of Branyiszko, and by that daring feat of his re-established the communication with the goverumept of Debreezin, as also with the several other Hungarian army corps. When, in April, 1849, the gar rison of the besieged fortress Comorn was to be apprised of the victorous approach of the national army, Guyon, with a detachment of hussars, cut his way through the enemy's lines, and announced the approaching relief. The bloody affair of Sz6reg
allowed Dembinski, protected by the self-sacrificing ten battalions of Guyon, to retire to Temesvar, where the last battle of the Hungarians was fought and lost on Aug. 9. Guyon escaped to Turkey, and entered the service of the sultan, without being obliged to turn Mohammedan. Under the name of Kourshid Pasha, lie, as a general of division, was governor of Damascus, and at the beginning of the Crimean war, did much to organize the army of Kars. He died at Constantinople in 1836. Indomitable courage, and an incessant care for the comfort of the troops under his conunand, were the chief features in Guyon's character.
