TEE Heine Government must really give up the practice and the idea of saddling lords upon the colo nies. Colonial wealth, colonial prospect*, colonial requirements, are no longer what they were. The days of patronage and protection are gone. The pub lic at home will no longer endure to be taxed in order 'that their fellow-sountrymen abroad may be able to carry on eager cultivation with capital borrowed at thirty per cent. To wring pence oat of the working Englishman in order that the Colonial planter may have pounds, is no longer to be thought of. But if so, neither is it to be thought of to wring pounds out of planters to pay aristocratic officials. The jugglery of overwhelming taxation is success fully carried on at home, chiefly b.cause the sources of wealth are so various and so hidden, so difficult to ascertain or to compute. The quantity of produce and manufactures consumed at home escapee the eye of any cursory calculator of donnutie wealth. So that the immense per centage paid by Englishmen upon theirroperty . or their earnings is, fortunately for the national patience, though not for its economy, a dim and doubtful mystery. It is not so in our colonies; at least, not so in cur West India settlements, from whence almost all pro duce is exported, and to which almost all necessaries of life are imported. So that by a glance at their annual imports and exports, their increase or deems*, the colonists can tell to almost a fraction the disposable revenue of the year, whether that revenue replaces capital, and is a profit at all, or whether the wealth and sinews of the country are oozing out of it without return or reparation of strength. Of course, with this appreciation of the wealth of the colony, and its annual return, is inevi tably coupled its annual taxation and expenditure. Auden. does not read a column of the colonial press, or a speech in its legislature, without finding In both of them the proportionate per centage which taxation bears to importsand exports, and consequently to the wealth, or at least the assets of the colony. How is it to be supposed that these colonies should fled their exports, their available wealth and revenue, reduced by two-thirds, and should not at the earns time object to paying the same per centage of taxa tion in adversity which they paid in prosperity P In fact, the rules of common sense and probability would be reversed, if we did not find the representatives of Jamaica and Demerara doing precisely what they are doing. They insist on retrenchment. We do nut think the system and graduation of retrenchment in mimics, which they propose, the most equitable or wise. Bat are there not monstrous abuses.? Why should a judge have a higher salary than the governor. himself ? The officials say, let a new appointment be awaited, ere reduction be applied. Bat the Jamaica Assembly passed bills to this effect, in 1818 and 1817, which were dropped and extinguished by the Council. It is evident that peace cannot be restored in our colonies without a general compromise, a completely new ayatcm ; and it is to be regretted that the Cole nial-otfice, instead of looking this necessity in the face, stands stock still, and awaits until discontent like a momentary effervescence, should pus away, This is a blind and a fatal pulley. It may be true that in many cases the resistance of the assemblies is infitiene.d les , ' by love of economy than by a desire to embarrass. This is a crime, however, which is but the fair law of every parliament, and which has bun perpetrated 11 every patriot. It may Do that the real am of the resistance party in the colonies is a chi met ical and unattainable one. The best way would be to assure them and convince them of this, and at the aims time to yield to their just demands of economy. If the planters want to repablicanise, and enjoy cheap government, let them. For we may depend upon it, that to coerce them will have bat the effect of republicanningthem still more. The planters of Jamaica and of Demerara, It must be admitted, are in a most dieorganisel state of mind. They even refuse capital when offered to them, and turn from it, as the sick horse from his oats. This is the worst of signs. And the remedies they wave are impracticable. Enforce the treaties in prevention of the slave trade, re-enact the edicts aigainat slave-grown sugar. What the planters ask is that the English parliament should repeal Magna Charts, just as a Canadian clique would have the Family Com pact restored, or, as Lord RODEN dreams, that the political days and Orange sacennancy of his youth are to come back again. And the West Indians are so fir right in thrilr in junctions to us to enforce treaties. For with regard to the slave trade there have evidently been for some time but two alternatives—either to let it alone, or concentrate and exhaust the best energies of England to crash it. Declare war against the two nations practising the slave trade ; consider all caught in the perpetration of it as pirates and hang them • blow Spain out of the water, and take Cuba fro m her, and send a fiat of thirty sail to blockade and bom bard the coast of Brea Having failed to reduce the petty . tyrant of Buenos Ayres, perhaps we shall find it came to reduce au empire not confined to one port, but extending over half a continent. No sans person could propose such a war, which would drag on other wars, cost hundreds of millions, and fail of its purposes alter all. Yet a medium be tween this war end an abandonment of useless efforts there is mono. Half measures are as expensive as futile, and would serve neither the West Indies nor as. _ _ _ If the West Indians cannot save themselves by cheap labour, cheap capital, and light taxation—and they have a right to all these—saved they cannot be. Foe England cannot make war on white nations out of humanity to black ones. As to capital, better give it to Ireland and to Jamaica than to Austria, if MTand security can be got to go hand in for its employment. As to labour, immigrants have sue* eded in many islands, though unfortunately the wealthiest have least known how to profit by them. With respect to Jamaici, white immigration would for it be the must valuable, even a white immigra tion that would have nothing to do with sugar. Jamaica should have, what alone can make it • secure and prosperous colony, a really native and not • negro race, attached to the island for itself, con tented with those gains that know no money-lenders, and with only those political and social wants that do not require protection to exist—that need not seek to reriir the ills of mercantile failure by political elis effeetton. A &TRIM° and suggestive article on the Agri cultural and Commercial Condition of Ireland appears in the October number of the Dublin University Magasine. The scope of the article is limited chiefly to an analysis of that condition u indicated by the gradual but great diminution of the circula ti ng medium—whether metallic or paper—daring the lan three years; and the aim of the writer seems to be rather to fix attention upon the importance of the foot, and of what it industrially . implie , , than to ven tilate my novel theory regarding currency, or any explo&d nostrums of protection for undeveloped agri culture or trade. The cardinal fact stated in the article lief 're BE is this, that whereu at the befginning of 1817 the total Lanes of all the banks in Ireland amounted to 7,516,4141, against a ram in gold and silver hellion of 2,608,012 L, the total ism of bank notes has fallen by umvoted steps to the present time, when it does not exceed 3,833,0724 against an amount in bullion of tot mere than 1,687,7781. In other word., the entire ci•ea'atlen of the c:nntry has b come gra dually contracted to just ono-half its natural extent, while the gold and silver cola which Sir ROBERT PEEet3 Irish Banking Act of 1813 compels thevarions 43 For the Pear Weeks add N otes endd Notes u To tal Woe render of ell upwards.

Equally curious and indicative of the terrible pro. tration of commercial and agricultural energy are the details respecting the diminution of sold and silver held by the Bank of Ireland and its subordinate rival.. On the 3rd January, 1847, the gold so held amounted to 2,264,2681. • on the 11th August, 1819, it was not above 1,046,061.—a diminution of more than a halL On the other hand, we find during the same period an accumulation of silver coin going on. On the 3rd January, 1817, it was but 343,7421., while oa the 11:h August it amounted to 641,7081. The apparently contrary action with regard to gold and silver may be explained by a reference to two main causes—the comparative cessation of money wages and the enormous efflux of capital in small sums by emigration. The farmer, whose enterprize was pare , sod by the prospect of limitless poor-rates and inm•carlt7 of possession, required fewer half-erowns and shillings each succeed , ng Saturday night to pay his labourer,. The fugitive from famine and mis rule, who had made up his mind to turn his little all into money, sought for gold to take with him to America; and so on in every grade of panio and prostration. As for notes, there was daily less and less demand for them. The agriculturist had little to sell, and little to buy. The trader dared not to lay in stock, as of yore, and consequently gave fewer and smaller acceptances to the wholesale merchant, whose discounts in their turn no longer absorbed the former amount of bank paper; and, finally, the banks having cowparatively trifling issues to make, were content to allow their dock of gold to ran down, ar.d only lamented their inability to relieve them,elves of an increasing load of motion less silver. h is fairly suggested by the writer in the University Magazine teat the way in which parsons at this side of the Channel may most readily be made to realise the full meaning of ilia industrial collapse thus indicated, is by endeavouring to imagine what the condition of England would be, were the circulation to tall month after month at a similar rate, until within the space of two years and a half it had dwindled down to one halt of what it previously had been. Conceive the number of hands out of employment, the number of shops deserted, the number of properties rendered at once ruinously cheap, yet wholly unsaleable, which such a net result of depression and depreciation implies :—and then conceive the feelings, if you can, of a people who, eon/minus of the rapid charge thus going ma in their condition, sic no prospect of tangible or substantial improvement, no hope that this drain of their country's life-blood will be staunched. The attention of parliament was called to this im. portant subject early last session by Mr. M'Cumeon, who, in the course of one of the discussions that took piece upon the rate in aid, stated the extent to which this lamentable symptom of industrial decline was than observable. Subsequent eventshave but too fatally con firmed the impression that the disease had not been checked; and how much farther it may spread ere the economic crisis is reached, the sad experience we have hitherto had of Treasury balsam and Downing street " composing draughts " enables us not to sur mise. It must be freely owned that since the present political physicians of the state were called in, no one vigorous effort has been made to rally the tune cf the social system, or to impart new energy to the frame. Of depletion and repression there has been enough. Whole districts have been suffered to become absolutely depopulated, vet is their ccndition found to be worse than ever. Measures of repression, both general and local, have been in varied forms resorted to ; yet party strife and prcedial crime flourish as banefully as ever. No new direction has been given to the po- pular mind ; no new aspiration has been planted in the popular heart: agricultural improvement still lacks agricultural security for the enjoyment of the fruits of its toil. After three years' tenure of office, the promises made by Lord Jonfr Rumen!. while in opposition are still unredeemed— not with respect to sectarian and political reforms merely, but licewiso with respect to thaw which eminently affect the economic plight of Ireland. How much more desperate must the condition of the patient become, ere anything effectual be tried ? SPAIN. MADRID. 6 arr. 25. Much sensation has been excittd in Madrid by a Cearlist manifesto, published in the Esperanza in French and Spanish, and " in the name of fourteen millions of Spaniards." The document, which is directed to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Russian, begins by congratulating him on hissing saved the north from *evolution ; and begs him, now that his attention must be more free, to turn his eyes to the fourteen millions here, who, since the year 11t30, consider him as the best ally of their sovereign, who has always expected his help. It calls on the Emperor to form a coalition with the northern powers, to at an end to the revolution in France, and establish legitimacy there again, and to begin his work by taking possession of the keys of the Black Sea, in spite of England or Lord Palmersten. That by neglecting this opportunity, his Majesty runs a risk .of seeing parliamentary government in St. Petersburg, that he has the same right to inter fere in France as in Ilaogary. This document, which is very lengthy, and, like all Spanish papers, abounds in sesguip: dal wards, is said to be the work of a famous preacher here, whom the court has neg lected to buy over, as it has done many others. In fact, any one who goes to visit the palace, will be surprised at the number cf priests strutting about the corridors, with chivalric decorations on their sur plices, for Isabella has knighted every ecclesiastic whose functions call him to the royal residence. It is ecid that the Spanish clergy think of meeting in council, as those of France, and without asking per mission of the authorities. Narvaez, however, is a very different kind of person from Louis Napoleon, and would soon convince the ministers of religion that they are no lonzer masters in Spain. The assassios of. Joseph Galli& have been executed at Mataro, as 'anticipated. HAMBURG, firm U. The passive resistance againtt the commission is carried on to Schleswig. The commission will be obliged to divMiu all civil alters and the Danish amputate, which M. vim Tiltiach his in reserve, will neon be in office. Tonninz has twice refond to receive the new postmaster, M. Karsten', bet, I rtppose, the third time h3'trilt be waisted with such a m;litcy. face that resistance will be imposible. If the pre- itt;IIPIDIG, nbi6BBB, 3, 1849. sent system is to be simffinnsil, mad As commission is gone tee far to dimentines it, Illy whole coun try omit be put tau meld kw, eaoh civil elksr moat have taw bo--ausgart his dignity and to secure his situtism. But eves though the civil officers may then have the power to govern, that is to nay to proclaim the of the commission, they will not be obeyed, tall events the tuxes will not be paid. Every lowa refuse to pay inch taxes to the coital ollso b Moratsag, the people deliver the tam themselves ia Bamittorg not to bring their Akers in tremble, and Ike commbeion will soon be obliged to stop payment. The clergy sides with the people, and to get rid of thane will be more difficult than to disabuse the civil officers. Count Ealenburg and Col, Hodges would not allow M. von Tillieeh reinetel the old Danish civil officers; but they ems not to object to th e i n t r i gues by which X. von Tillisch attains the same aim in doe course of time. The folly was to elect two foreigners to a Audios, of which they know nothing, and in which they assure to be overreached by their crafty colleague, who beats them as much in knowledge as they are above him in honesty. There was a large meeting in Schleswig, of about ' sixty deputies of the different magistrates and civil officers to discuss the state of the country: the passive resistance will be carried on with system and unity. The troops which are sent to restore ceder and to up hold the authority of the law, as propounded by the commission, are well received by the citizens ; no opportunity is given to the troops to step in with their force. The other day, in 'loaning, the people dispersed as soon as the military were called out ; and there is no doubt that the soldiers are die eluded to play the oppreae. to people whiob, instead of attacking them as they are led to suppose, do all to make their abode as comfort able as possible. The commission, in fact, in playing a dangerous game, it will be impossible to use no limes where no violent* is committed. M. Von Tdlisch is a clever man, he wants to " Danishise" the Ambles ; he has sueseeded in this respect with his brother commissioners, but he will not mimed with, the Sehleawigers, who, hard as the burden may be he lays upon their shoulders, will not succumb under it nor forget that they are connected with Holstein and Germany. 5; 54 'St i l I 91 i i i nisi Il V lq ni Si 114 11111 U 111 81 11 lop I7i nth Slii HI Nal THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY 1 THE WRONGS OF HUNGARY. The following document haa beta leaned by the Loudon Hungarum Committee: 1. Hungary m an ancient amsdhaticeal monarehy, which used to elect its kings. Every new king was solemnly crowned with the crown of fit. litephen, after taking the coronation oath on Hungrrian ate, In which he swore to spbuld the c . nstitution. In the year 1687 the royalty wee made hereditary in the family of Hapsburg; but, so far was Hungary from becoming a province of Austria, to this year not a single Austrian has been allowed to hold office in the Hungarian kingdom. An Monti= is a foreigner in Hun. garias law sad practice. 2. The kings of the house of Hapsburg have, notwithstand ing, made various attempts to overthrow the liberties of Hungary. After repeated attempts to fuss Hungary into Austria, and repeated insurrections ' a long struggle begun by Leopold I. was ended in 1711 by Joseph 1., who wee con strained to cinfirm the old constitution. Again, by the efforts of Joseph It. to enforce the German linguae, and suppress the municipalities, a revolt was kindled, which his suoceseur Leonld IL finally pacified (in 1790) only by with drawing all his brother's innovations, and by making a pecu liarly distinct avowal, that (Art, 10) " Hungary with her appanage. is a free kingdom, and in regard to her whole legal form of governmsnt (including an the tribunals) inde pendent ; that is, entangled with no other kingdom or people; but having her own peculiar oonsistenoe and constitution, accordingly to be governed by her legitimately crowned king after her peculiar law and customs." Nem theless Francis I. dared to violate hie coronation oath by not assembling the Diet from 1811 to 1825. At last he was compelled to give way by the panne resistance to ell go vernment From that year onward the Hungarians have struggled successfally for internal reforms by conatitational metlu.ds, though perpetually thwarted by the bigotry, ig norance, and perverse ambition of the Austrian cabinet or Crown. 3. The internal reforms which they desired were chiefly the following : —To remove or lessen the distinctions be tween the privileged and unprivileged classes; and improve the principles of taxation and of the tenure of land.—Next, to extend perfect toleration of religious creed to all. Tin high Magyar nobility are generally Roman Catholics; yet they have been as willing to concede toleration as the lower nobility and middle dusts, who are generally protestants.— Thirdly, to establish free trade with all nations. Foe the Austrian Cabinet choose to confine this great country to Austria for its market, while treaties Hungarian prodace is tereign.—Fourthly to maintain • free pew s and the right especially of publishing the debates and proceedings M the Diet.—Fifthly, in inner d to develops the greet moonset , of Hungary by all sorts of material improvement in agriculture, in roads, in bridges. To this of late has been added a struggle for gannet education. 4. One mode of resistance applied by Austria, wee to ex tinguish parliamentary bills by the solo of the crown ; the fear of which paralysed the upper home,—a body always naturally disposed to lean to Austria. Against this the lien garians had no adequate constitutional weapon to use, since the Austrian cabinet was not responsible to the Hungarian Diet. The often repeated legal declaration of their indepein deuce, and in particular the distinct compact of Leopold It. in 1;90.91, justified them in desiring by peaceful and mop, stitutioual means to attain an independent ministry directly responsible to their own parliament. 6. Sock a ministry had been long talked of and claimed is the Diet. In fact the conservative party and the opposi tion bad differed little as to the objects at which they aimed, ' but chiefly as to the vehemence with which they should press them; the conservatives pleading to "give time" to the Austrian cabinet. But in March, 1848, the conservatives, as a separate party, vanished, by the great mama of them at. ceding to the opposition. Kossuth carried a unanimous vote , that the coustitunon of Ilunguy could never be frill from; Ithe eternal machinations of the Austrieut ablest, until con stitutional government was established in the foreign posses. dons of the crown, so as to restore the legal status of the I period at which the Diet freely sonferred the royalty on the house of Hapsburg. This vote_ paralysed the Austrian audio rides. Vienna roes against Metternich, and a revolution took place there. A constitution and a national guard were i enacted. The Hungarian Diet immediately claimed for it self also a responsible ministry. This wee granted without delay, and Count Louis Besthyany wee made premier. Bat on the very same de y, H arsh 15, Jo i lachich -as appointed Ban of Croatia. In • letter to Vienna, dated Much 2/, 1848, the Archduke Stephen ' viceroy of Human, is found to have suggested three modes oldestroying the Hungarian Constitution ; either to excite the peasants against the nobles, as in Gillian, and stand by whin the ponies slaughter each other ; or, to tamper with Hatthyany's honesty ; or, to invade and overpower Hungary by military force. A transcript of this letter in the arch duke's handwriting was afterwards found among his papers when he fied from Yeeth, and was officially published with all the necessary truncations. The Austrians have not dared to disown Before March ended, a deputation of all the leading mem ben of both houses from Unwary append in Vienna, eanyiag to the King their unsaisnme Males that he would consent to various bilis In them** semtlealkmal change was the restoration of the vii mien between the Diets of Hungary and of TraraylomiL But socially the most important laws were the equalising of all climes gal creeds, and the noble enactment whisk manned the per ▪ into freeholders of the soil, quit dell the old feudal burdens. This bill had passed both the bosses by Feb. 4, 1843, before the French revolution bad broken out ; so little had thst great event to do with the relormdeg efforts of the Hungarians. The Austrisambinet, eseingtheir overwhelm inr unanimity, felt that resistance was impossible. Accord ingly Ferdinand proceeded with the court to Freeburg, and ratified the laws by oath. This is the reform of April 11, 1813, which all patriotic Iltregarians fondly Poked upon Si their chatter of constitutiosal rights, opening to them the promise cf a career in which they should emulate Great Britain, as a pattern of a united, legal, tolerant, free, end loyal country. 6. Croatia is a province of the Hungarian crown; and Mere Jelleohnh, as goverser, openly organised revolt wenst Hungary, by military terrorism, end by _promising Munk supremacy. On Bstthyany ' s urgency, King Fer dinand declared Jellsohich a rebel, and exhorted the Diet to raise an army against him; but always avoided finally to mention their bills. Meanwhile Radetskl debated Charles Albert. Jellschich dropped the mask of Croatianism, and announced to Battlnany that there should be no peace, mail • ministry at Vienna ruled over Hungary. In Sep tember, as the king would neither allow troops to be raised in Hungary, nor the Hungarian mimesis to be recalled from Italy for home defence, a Hungarian deputation was seat te the Austrian Diet ; but it was denied admittance lay aid of the Slavonic party. To catch stray votes (st seems). Latour, Austrian minister at war, in the Diet, Sept. 2, solemnly disavowed any connection with Jellachich's movement yet on Sept. 4, a royal ordinance (officially published in Croatia only), reinstated jellashich in all his dignities; who, soon after, muted the Drive to invade Hungary, with a well-appleff army 05,000 string.

It likewise distinctly an- Inman' the determination of the crown to incorporate Hungary into Austria. Troops from Vienna were pu)licly ordered by Latour (Oat. 6) is march against the Hungarians. This order, coupled with alarm, inspired by the approach of Jellashiets (whose defeat was kept secret), led to the enteuts in Vienna, in which Latour was murdered, a murder which was made a pretext for bombarding Vienna, and destroying Me newly eanedoned constitution.

It is then impanels to doubt that the Aus trime had supplied him with arms, money, and authority bus the beginning, and that they began this bloody war by combined violence and treachery, while Hungary was in:pro 7. lretbiust now tried to obtain from Ferdinand a direct permission to carry into detail the reseript of Oat. 3 and belie Hungary by right of conquest. Bat as Ferdinand began to be trou bl ed with religious scruples, they resolved to depose him, and put his nephew on the throne--• youth of eighteen, eduated by the Jesuits, and ascustemed t o o b ey his mother the Archduchies Sophia, who was so identified by the Viennese with the cabinet as to be called the Lady Camarillo. _ By intrigue of some sort they induced the half-witted emperor to 6.ga the set for his own abdication, and at once seated Francis Joseph in his pine., who, not having token' the coronation oath, might be assured by his directors that he committed no wrong in invading the laws and constitution of Hungary ! Aa Austrian army marched into the country, and in the course of January and February overran and occupied it es far as the Theism eastward and as high as the Nemeth northward: the Russians meanwhile into Transylvania. The usurpation of the arch =ata ke r estu d id cabinet seemed to have triumphed. 8. On March 4th, 1849, Count Stadion published his new ocreatituti7n for fusion down Hungary into a part of the Marian empire. If previously - Hungary had been under Russian despotism, this constitution would have sesmisd highly liberal; and from an Austrian point of view, such it war: but to the Hun garians it wee an intolerable slavery. Fint, it virtually annihilated their municipalities, and subjected their police to Vienna. Next, it would have enabled the Austrian cabinet to put in Austrian civil and military officers every where in Hungary—an innovation es odious to the Hun garians, as would French poike magistrates, excisemen, overseers, colonels and lord-lieutenants, be to the Englis h Latina. Thirdly, it swamped their piuliamant among a host of foreigners, ignorant of Hungary and its wants, and incapable of legislating well for at. Fourthly, it was enacted without the pretence of law, by the mere stroke of Count Stadion'. pen. It the Hungarian constitution, four teen times solemnly MOTS to by kings of the hostas of Haps burg, was to be thus violated, what possible security could the nation have for this new fanglad constitution of Stadion, it it were ever so good in itself ? If they admitted suck a right in the Austrian crown, in six months a new ordinals°e might reduce them under a pun despotism. In the fats of wrong so intense, it is not worth while to name secondary grievances; but it was most bitteriy felt that such was tie reward of the constant loyalty of Hungary to the house of Hapsburg, and such the sequel of that solemn act by which Ferdinand had so happily ratified their recent gloriou re forms On reviewing the constitutional question, it was clear to the Hungarians, &et, that Ferdinand had no legal power to ab dicate without lease of the Diet, which leave it was int poesihle to grant, since, in the course of nature, Ferdinand might yet have direct heirs; eecondly, that if he became in capacitated, it was the right of the diet to appoint a regent ; thirdly, that if Ferdinand had died, Francis Joseph Cu not the heir to the Hungarian crown, but his father, Ferdinand's brother; fonrtbly, that allegiance Is not fully due to the true heir, until he has been gowned; fifthly, that if Frowns Joseph had been ever so much the true heir, and had been ever so law:ally crowned, the ordinances would be a I breach of his oath, essentially null and void, and equivalent to a renunciation of his compact with the pen le ; sixthle, that even to Austria the ministry of Stadion—or, ra• thee, the Archduchess—was no better than a knot of intriguers, which had practised on the clouded intellect of the sovereign to grasp a despotism for itself; while over Hungary it had no more ostensible right than had that of Prussia or Feiss*. All Hungary therefore rose to resist, Slovache and Magyar, Germans and Wallachs, catholic. and proteetante, Greeks and Jews, nobles, traders, and peasants, rich and pour, progressioniate aid conserva tives. Ferdinand was still regarded as their legitimate, but not' wfully d posed King. 9. Between the Theirs and the Munich, Kossuth had or ganised the means of fabricating nuns and money ; and in the course of March and April a series of tremendous battles took place, in which the Austrians were some fifteen times defeated, and without a single change of fortune their &emits, 130,000 strong, were swept out of Hungary with immense slaughter. Only certain fortresses remained in their pallor, and those were sure to fall by mere lapse of time. The Austrien cabinet was desperate at losing a game in which it had risked so much. Its more scrupulous mem bers had retired, including Stadion himself. Bloodier gene rals were brought forward, and the intervention o Russia (long promised, and granted as early u February in Transyl vania), was publicly avowed. This act finally alienated from Austria every patriotic Hungarian. 10. Upon the entrance of the Russians w;th the consent of Francis Joseph, the Hungarian parliament, on the 14th of April, after reciting_ the sots of perfidy and atrocity by which the house of Haptburg had destroyed Its compaou with the nation, solemnly pronounced that house to have for ever forfeited the crown. During the existing crisis, Kossuth, according to constitutional precedent, was made governor of the country. 11. We all know how Hungary—deprived of her ports, taken by surprise, isolated, and abandoned—has been over whelmed by the combined hosts of her unscrupulous foes. But has England nothing to say to this ? For three centuries at least Hungary has been a prominent number of the European family of nations. Her constitutional union to the house of Hapsburg has been a notorious public fact; and in the Emperor of Austria, as King of Hungary, Europe has long seen a powerful barrier against Russian en crotchm nt. Tnat Hungary is not Anstria,—that the Empe ror of Austria has no right in Hungry except as its consti tutional king,—is as public a fact in Europe as that Hanover was never part of England. When Hungary proclsimod to us that the Emperor of Austria was no Lager her king,— that she had found the house of Hapsburg traitorous, and had legally deposed it ; and when the Hungarian nation had by a unanimous effort actually expelled her invaders,—there was the very same reason for our acknowledging the independence, of Hungary, as we ever had for recognis ing the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary at all. We have grievously neglected our duty by supineness; but the Emperor of nalleithas perpetrated a breach of inter national law, most cruel end dreadful; only less wicked than the outrage of Austria, t Vallee it was not also treacherous an 4 ungrateful. Indignation and pity for the Hungarians is for a moment swallowed up by admiration, when we contrast their humane generosity towards prisoners of war with the ferocious cruelty of the Austrians towards the aimed and unarmed of both sexes. 12. The English crown is peculiarly affected by these events; became they destroy the oonfidence of rations in the oaths of princes ; especially considering that Hungary was the only great community on the continent, whose ancient liberties bad not been violently aid treacherously annihilated by its king. No guarantees of right any longer exist, except those which have been wrested out by popular violence, and established on some doctrinal,. has's. The erietomacy of England are deeply concerned, when the only ' reml,ining continental aristocracy possessed of constitutional rights and taking the lead of a willing nation, is remorse lesely trampled under foot. Our commonalty is concerned, when deprived of commercial intercourse with fourteen mil lions of agriculturists. Our religious feelings are shacked, when Hungarian zeal for universal toleration is overridden by the Romanist bigotry of Austria. Our liberties are en dangered by the spectacle of two sovereigns tearing in pieces a noble nation from pure hatred of its constitutionalism which nine centuries have not made marred in their eyes, Ike security of all Europe is endangered by the virtual vaasalage of Austria to Russia. which this milamitous out rage has entailed ; for Austria is now so abhorred in Hun gary that she cannot keep her conquest except by Russian aid. Every one foresaw this from the beginning the go vernment of Vienna knew it, as well as that of St. Peters burg. Such are the results of the conspiracy of an Auetrian cabinet against their emperor, against hie kingdom of Hun gary, sgainst the newborn liberties of Vienna, and against the balance of power in Europe. 13. What remains for England to do, but firmly to declare to Austria :—" Until we see the constitution as it was before October, 1849, reestablished in Hungary, we do not sclusow ledge your position in Lombardy ; for Hungary had a far better right to her national ex/stenos and independence, than you to your empire over the foreign Lombards ?" A military tyrant may at any moment commit an act of rapine with summary speed; sage and modt ram bystanders need time to learn and judge of the cue. If we extend the doctrine of faits accomplis to the high-handed crime under which Hungary still lies bleeding, we proclaim impunity and recognition to every unprincipled marauder.

THE CZAR AND THE HUNGARIAN REFU GEES IN TURKEY. TO TRH EDITOR OP TIM EXPRESS.

A month ago it would have seemed quite needless that a public demonstration should warn a liberal ministry of each a duty. But since we have a Colo nial Secretary and a Prime Minister either so base, or so infantinely weak and credulous, as to be capable, the one of sanctioning, the other of defending, the conduct of More O'Ferrall, it is quite time that the public should rouse itself, and give strength to tho only member of the government who stands between us and the Aberdeen policy, between us and a mean complicity with the new " Holy° Alliance.

WRECK UPON TUE' ESSEX COAST.—The strong wind with frequent heavy rains early on the morning of Saturday last, and late the same night, occasioned the wreck of two or more vessels on the Gunfire; and Sunk Sande, along ' this coast ; end although, happily, no lives were sacrificed, It was attended in one instance at least with the total lees of vessel and cargo. About half-past two cm, on the above day, the Margaret end Emily, master, Wattley, of Sunder land, bound from Sethi= to London, with 260 tons burden of coals, came ashore off the Ounfieet Sands. The exertion* of the crew to save her we're unavailing, and she remained in the same situation during part of the day, when the fol lowing smacks, all belonging to the port of Colchester, came to her assistance:—the Orwell, Cook (muter); Flambe, Taylor ; Friends' Good-will, Howland; Joseph, Cook. The Gae-mentioutil ,musk rescued the crew, consisting of eight, and landed them palely at Wircnhoe between six and seven o'clock the same evening. Meanwhile the remaining smacks were actively engaged on board the wreck, and having cut away one of the ship's masts, and secured a large quantity of her rigging and chains (nearly new), they repaired to WMenhoe with their salvage. No part of the cargo wee recovered, and i: is believed the ship had sines become a total and complete wreck, Laving sunk a considerable 'depth into the sand.—A second vessel, the Commence, a Norwegitn barque, Capt. T. Lawson, was bound front Norway to Havre sima la passeneers beside her crew, whose intention it was on arriving at Havre to depart on board en emigrant ship for America. From the set of the tide And a strong N.B. wind, she struck on the Sank Sand at about half-put eleven o'clock On Saturday night, and, while in this•peakion, was seen on the following morning by the smack Elizabeth, belonging to Mr. Charles Heath which succeeded in rescuing the passenger+, including eight women, and the rest men and boys. They were with the crew, consisting of ten or twelve men, conveyed to Wivenhoe, and landed about five o'clock in the afternoon, where the hospitable doors of J. G. Cham berlain, Esq., were at once opened for the reception of the passengers. They were comfortably lodged in that gentle man's warchousea, and under his kind and prompt dine dons a hot supper wee quickly provided on the spot for the necessitous visitor,, who were truly in • wretched condition, having saved nothing from the wreck beyond the clothes they wore. They were all natives of Norway, and unable to utter a syllable of English. It is unnecessary to describe the rapacity with which the poor creatures welcomed the good fare so bountifully and generouey *applied ; and, after a hearty repast, the whole party, with grateful = alli tt g their benefactor, retired to rest on the same pre ' 134 . 4 .• In the morning the same liberal hand bestowed another ample meal; after which the passengrn, having been joined by their crew and the captain and craw of the collier Weather &,out 4.5 individuals) nocompseied by Mr. Coamber:in, deputed for London by train.
