A !ate edition of the &pm' is published every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day's races. THE Address drawn up by M. DZAK, in reply to the Imperial Rescript, and voted so unani mously by both Chambers of the Hungarian Diet, is now before the world, and it certainly deserves the high eulogium unconsciously passed on it by ono of the extreme imperialist journals of Vienna, of being equal in outspoken firmness to the mani festoes of the English Parliament that resisted CHARLFA I. There is, in fact, a considerable analogy between the two cases. In our own country a constitutional monarch attempted to destroy the existing form of government, to abolish the constitution he had sworn to support, and usurp absolute authority. And in order to ac complish this purpose he naturally began by assailing the ancient rights and fundamental pre rogatives of Parliament. The most essential of these rights he first practically denied by levying taxes on a royal warrant instead of through the representatives of the nation. Having partially succeeded in the forcible col lection of an illegal revenue, be attempted with a high hand to justify the usurpation, and hoped to succeed through the guilty subserviency of a weak, intimidated, and treacherous faction. Had the daring attempt succeeded, the constitution, and with it the rights and liberties of Englishmen, would have been utterly destroyed. Parliament having lost all reel and independent authority, would have been degraded into a court for register ing imperial decrees. This is precisely what the Emperor of AUSTRIA is striving to effect in Hun pry. The only legitimate connexion he has with the Kingdom of Hungary is that of a constitu tional monarch, bound to observe the ancient statutes and govern according to the fundamental laws of the realm. For a time the constitution was violently suppressed, and FRANCIS Jones, having established a military despotism, ruled in Hungary as an absolute prince. However harsh and oppressive such a government might be, it could hardly be considered dangerous to the fun damental rights and liberties of the nation. Being utterly violent and illegal, it simply suppressed without attempting to change the laws. The recent attempt to subvert the constitution indirectly by a species of political fraud was in all respects farmers dangerous, and had it succeeded, the ancient liber ties of the nation would have been more hopelessly destroyed than they could have been by the sword. The representatives of the nation have, however, met the attempt in exactly the same way the English Parliament met the attempted usurpations of Csanns L They may be said, indeed, to have acted with even greater modera tion, and a more scrupulous regard to the letter of constitutional law. So far from having at all exceeded its legitimate powers, the Diet has throughout kept carefully within view the letter and the spirit of the fundamental statutes it had solemnly pledged itself to support. This final address recapitulates in a firm but re spectful tone the constitutional rights which the Mamma has attempted to destroy. All the Diet has asked from the first was simply the fulfilment of the legal conditions on which alone the crown of Hungary can ever be worn by the Emperor of Anemia. "We asked in our Address," say the representatives of the kingdom in Diet assembled, " for no concessions ; we proposed no new laws "to guarantee our rights. We wished only that " the Pragmatic Sanction, with all its conditions " and the mutual obligations it imposed, should "be strictly observed. We required only that " our ancestral constitution and the laws enacted " by our Diet, which have been suspended by " force, should be re-established, and that the " right of altering and repealing laws should in "no degree be withdrawn from the Diet. In a " word, we wish that legality and constitutional " procedure should not half, but entirely, take " the place of absolute force." This legal claim the Imperial Rescript refuses to grant. The En 'axon promises to restore only certain isolated fragments of the ancient Constitution, and even these would be given as Imperial favours, not as national rights. The legal constitution of the Diet is not even reco6mised. It has never yet been completed according to the terms of the constitution, and even if assembled it would, under the new scheme, be deprived of all real power. Its ancient right of determining all questions of taxation and mili tary service, all its independent legislative power indeed, while nominally handed over to the new fangled and dependent Reichsrath, would be really transferred to the Enmities and his Government. The Diet accordingly decides in the mart emphatic and decisive terms that it can have nothing to do with any such act of national suicide. "We declare," say the repre sentatives of the nation, " that we will maintain " unimpaired the right of the nation to vote its " supplies, and regulate its taxes, and military " levies in its own Diet, and will never agree to " the transfer of these rights to the Reichsrath." The writers add that they are compelled to regard all negotiations through the Diet as broken off. They are, however, quite prepared for the result of this serious and decisive step : " It is possible that over our country will again " have to pass through bard times ; we cannot " ward them off at the sacrifice of our duties as THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1861.

The constitutional freedom of the " land is not our possession in such a sense that " we can freely deal with it ; the nation has with " faith entrusted it to our keeping, and we are " answerable to our country and to our conscience. " If it be necessary to suffer, the nation will sub " mit to suffering, in order to preserve and hand " down to future generations that constitutional " liberty it has inherited from its forefathers." A nation that maintains so noble a struggle for its rights—for its ancient and constitutional freedom —in such a spirit appeals to the deepest sympathies, and will assuredly secure the heartiest support of every free people. But it has a peculiar claim to the sympathy and admiration of Englishmen, who have themselves more than once had to pass through conflicts of essentially the same kind. Yet on the very day when this noble address was being read to FRANCIS Josxru by the deputation from the Hungarian Diet, two Englishmen, not only distinguished in public life, but once noto rious for their liberal opinions, were ostentatiously applauding the Emperor of AUSTRIA at the ex pense of his Hungarian subjects. Lord BROUGHAM at Dublin, and the member for Sheffield at South ampton, were celebrating with equal praise, and almost in the same breath, the virtues of self government and the Emperor of Amara's recent attempts to destroy it. Mr. Reim:cies panegyric we have already referred to, but Lord BROUGHAM'S authoritative decision on the most serious consti• tutional struggle of modern times is too remark able to be passed over without a word of com ment. "In Hungary," says the noble and learned Lord, " the ancient constitution as it " existed before 1848 is restored, and the esta " blishment of that which was formed in a season "of civil war is alone refused." It need scarcely be said that not one word of this sin gular statement is true. The ancient consti tution of Hungary has not been restored either in part or as a whole, either as it existed before 1848, or at any previous period. The ancient constitution of the kingdom has not been recog nised or allowed by the EMPEROR, in any shape or to any extent. Both the Imperial patent and the Imperial rescript alike ignore its fundamental pro visions. The Diet of the ancient constitution in cluded representatives from all the territories of the Hungarian Crown ; but the Diet summoned by the EMPEROR included only a portion of them, the rest being carefully excluded. The ancient Diet was not only a national but a legislative assembly, possessing supreme authority over taxation and finance, and having an independent voice in every question affecting the kingdom as a whole. But the Diet the Exrzaoa proposes to establish would be simply a provincial assembly, deprived of all real authority, and having little to do beyond ac cepting the decrees of the Imperial Council. But it is needless to multiply these contrasts, or refute in detail such a glaring misrepresentation. With referenoe to certain speeches which the British Consul-General in Egypt is represented, in an article published in the Conatitutiound of the 17th of July last, to have made during his recent visit to the Isthmus of Suez, we are authorised to state that the language attributed to the Consul- General on that occasion was not held by him ; and that in the few words which he addressed to the principal employes who had accompanied him on Ins journey, thanking them for the courtesy that they had shown him, he abstained from any allu sion to tue political question involved in the con struction of the Suez canal, or to the feasibility of the works ; and that in the remarks which be after wards made in reply to an address from the work men, he confined himself to saying how sensible he was of the compliment paid to him, and to point ing out to them how incumbent on them it was, as subjects of one of the most civilised nations, to conciliate and attach to them by gentle treatment the mild populations among whom they were labouring. • CU Court. —•— OSBORNF, Avow 16. . _ The Queen and Prince Consort, accompanied by this Crows Prince and Princess of Pruesia, Primer Alias, sad Prime's Helena, drove out yesterday. Major Dm Plat attended on horseback. The Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, with Priam William end Princess Charlotte, atteuded by Countess &Uhl, Baroness von Dobeoecic, Count Fiirstenstein, Lieute nant-Colonel von Oberaits, and M. Duocker, left Osborne for the Continent this morning, at five minutes before 7 o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort accompanied their Royal Highnesses on board her Majesty's ship Osborne, whkili was in readiness to convey the royal party. The Quests and Prince were stwonapanied by Princess Alio% Priam" Helena, Princess Loris, Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold, and were attended by the ladies and Gen tleness in Waiting. After remaining a short time ce bawd the Osborne, the Queen, Prince Consort, and Royal Family re-embarked in the barge and returned to the pier. The Osborne immediately started for Antwerp. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, end Princess Alice, attended by lady Auguste. Bruce, Lieutenant• General the Hon. C. Grey, and Colonel iliddulph, left Osborne at three *Week to-day for Frottnore House, where bet Majesty will per the night. Viaoonnt Palmerston left town yesterday for Walnut Castle. Her Majesty's Commissioners for the International Pahl hition of 1862 have received an intimation that the followiag gentlemen have beau appointed commie nolloll for the kingdom of the Netherlands : Mr. J. W. L. Visa Verde, of Rotterdam, president ; Dr. E. H. Van Baumbauer, of Amsterdam; Mr. J. A. Van Eyk, of Amsterdam ; Mr. J. Gmll, of Haarlem ; Mr. M. L Herman., of the Hague ; the Hon. H. G. C. I.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-oflice, from the Governor of Canada and the Lord High Commis sioner of the lonian Islands. Despatches were sent to the Governors of the West India Islands, British Columbia, and Goads. up by the London and North Western Railway Company, who have prepared, regardless of cost, a superb new alma carriage for the use of her Majesty. The directors and officers of the several railways traversed by the royal party will attend the Queen over their respective lines ; but Mr. Cawitwell, general manager of the London and North West ern Railway, will accompany her Majesty throughout the whole journey. The royal train will be pnscedel at fifteen minutes' interns! by a pilot engine ; and in order to ensure perfect gaiety to the royal parties, no other engine or train of any kind will be allowed to travel on the main lines between the Bushbury Junction and Holy head within 30 minutes of the time named for the passing of her Majesty. The royal train will be provided with a means of communication from the last break-van to the engine. It is announced that ou this occasion the public will not be admitted to the stations along the line of route, and no cheering or other demonstrations on the part of the companies' servants is to he allowed—the object being that her Majesty shall be per fectly undisturbed during the journey. The Queen, if the weather be at all favourable, will cross to Kingstown on Wednesday evening, and, with the known speed of the Victoria and Albert, her Majesty may be expected to arrive at the Viceregal Lodge before midnight, though un foreseen circumstances may possibly delay the royal diem• berkation until Thursday morning. THE KING OP SWEDEN AND NORWAY. His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway received Viscount Palmerstoo al dinner on Thursday evening at the residence of the Swedish embassy, pre viously to visiting the Haymarket Theatre. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the King, accompanied by his brother, Prince Oscar, and attended by the members of his suite, left the embassy in two of the Queen's carriages, and proceeded to the British Museum, where his Majesty was received by Mr. Panizzi and the other principal officers of this national institution, over the whole of which, including the Dew library, the King was conducted. Prom the Museum the King drove to SR Paul's Cathedral, where his Majesty was received by the Dean and several of the canons resideutiary, by whom he was shown the various objects of interest. The King descended into the crypt of the cathedral, and inspected with much interest the sarcophagus containing the remains of the late Duke of Wellington, and also the tomb of Nelson. On leaving the cathedral his Majesty proceeded in the royal carriages to Woolwich Arsenal, where the commandant of the garrison nod a brilliant staff of artillery officers were in attendance. The arrival of his Majesty was announcesi by a royal salute fired from a field battery ; and a guard 5f honour, composed of a com pany of foot artillery, we, damn up in front of the barracks to receive the royal party. After partaking of luncheon in the officers' mem-room, the King was conducted through the laboratory and over the various departments of the arsenal, including the establishment where the manufacture of the Armstrong gun is carried on. His Majesty was greatly inter ested here, and deleted at long time to a thorough examina tion of the mode of manufacture of this destructive projectile. Before taking his departure, the King complimented the commandant and the officers of the artillery upon the soldierly appearance of their corps. His Majesty left under a second royal salute, the bend of the Royal Artil lery playing the Swedish national anthem. From the arsenal the King proceeded to the dockyard, where, under conduct of Commodore Nicholson, his Majesty embarked in a river steamboat, and proceeded up the Thames to Greenwich, where the royal party landed and inspected the college and chapel.

VIENNA, Ammer 17. A semi-o ffi cial statement published to-day con tradicts the reports of an eventual change in the system of policy pursued by the government, and of any personal change in the cabinet. It says : "On the contrary, a perfect harmony of views upon the Hungarian question exists between the chief of the cabinet and the Hungarian Chan cellery." Telegraphic despatches received here from Agram state that the Croatian Diet had decided upon making representations to the Emperor, requesting the re-admittance into the Diet of the deputies from the military frontier, and the enlargement of the littoral territory attached to the Croatian free port. The collection of taxes by military execution has been stopped until the middle of September next. The Times correspondent sends the following telegram from Pesth, dated yesterday : "The dissolution of the Hungarian Diet is con sidered certain within a few days. A similar mea sure is expected for the county committees. "An imperial rescript is expected shortly." The Journal des Debuts, of to-day, says :—" A telegraphic despat:b, from Vienna, which we have received at the last moment, brings us information of the resolution adopted by the Austrian government on the affairs of Hungary. After a long consultation, which took place yesterday, the Council of Ministers decided that the Hungarian Diet should be dissolved. The Vienna Prose announces this news as positive. The same journal states that the imperial rescript which is to communicate this reso lution to the Diet of Pesth will be immediately published, as well as a manifesto addressed by the Emperor to the states of Austria." The Nord of this day, speaking on the same subject, says :—" Austria at this moment is in one of those extreme crises out of which it is impossible to see any issue. The Emperor Francis Joseph has received the Hungarian address, and replied to the Presidents of the Diet that he would consider. At Vienna they affected to know that the rescript ordering the dissolution of the Diet was prepared, and that the Emperor would issue a manifesto to his people explaining the situation, and justifying the measures which the salvation of the empire would impose upon him."

(nc 00i OWN PARIS, Panay Evniuki. The intelligence from Austria of the approaching dissolution of the Diet of Pesth, and of the raising of the amount of the troops' lodging money i n Venetia from 600,000 florins to 2,500,000 florins, comes out in somewhat startliug contrast with the speeches recently delivered at Southampton by the Archduke Maximilian and Count Apponyi. The general opinion here seems to be that these speeches are, like certain celebrated railway accounts iu past days, 000kod, to make things pleasant—dished up for English palates. That the " constitution " so much talked of will prove anything but a sham, is a possibility which cannot enter into the ordinary French mind. M. Neftzer, whose sentiments towards England are too well known to need comment, treats the subject with more than common serious ness. He says the visit of the Archduke proves that Austria, " in endeavouring to become liberal, has not only yielded to very pressing internal neces• sities, but has at the same tune considered her posi tion in Europe, and her relations with other powers. Austria, it is well known, is the old ally of Eug. land. But in these times political action is too public, and too much subjected to the ceaseless con trol of opinion, to allow of a real and sin cere alliance between two powers, one retro grade, the other liberal. Publicity has given to political action a modesty and a sense of decency wholly wanting to it when it was confined to the closet of diplomacy." He argues against the pos sibility of au active alliance between England and Austria, so long as the latter power shall retain Venetia in subjection. He declares that publics opinion in England would utterly repudiate such a proposition, though it came backed by the popu larity of Palmerston himself. Certaiu bishops are reported to have availed themselves of the opportunity furnished by the fate of yesterday to interlard their addresses to their clergy with political allusions likely to prove far from agreeable at the Ministry of the Interior. It is thought not unlikely that one or more of these zealots may come under M. de Peraigny's whip. The Freese observes upon this subject that to such bishops should be addressed some expres sions used by Baron Ricasoli in his recent letter to the liberal priest, Monsignor. Caputo. "It is deeply injurious," says the great minister, "to religion and to the clergy, to make them foes to the sacred feeling of patriotism with which God has filled man's heart, while He at the same time condemns by His holy word all slavery and all oppression."

The following is a description, abridged front Ga/ignani, of the imperial fats which took place at Paris on Thursday last : The Bmperor's fête took place on Thursday, and, though the absent* of his Majesty and the Empreu from Paris deprived it of one of its main elements of attraction, went off with great crf.ll. A fête in France would be considered incomplete unle,s ushered in with a great expenditure of gunpowder, and accordingly at 6 o'clock in the morning the boom of the guns of the Invalidee, ringing out through the clear, still atmosphere of the yet slumbering city, intimated to the Parisians that the anni versary of the national holiday had come round once more, and that the fête had officially commenced. The publics rejoiciop did not of course begin until a much later hour, but as the morning wore on, excursion trains from every part of the country poured their living freight into the capital, crowding the streets and the Champs Blyabes with picturesque specimens of provincial and foreign costume, among which the tall caps of Normaudy, and great va rieties of that popular but hiclious headgear, the "pork pie" hat, far outnumbered the nat. Whilst the foreign and provincial visitors wandered about, seeing the lions, and breakfasted a/ fresco in front of cafs and wineshops, the first, sad though the least brilliant far from the Wei interesting, portion of the programme was being gone through by the authorities—the distribution of food and alms to the aged and indigent at the 'talons Msiries and Bureaux de Bienfaisance. At about 10 o'clock, the old soldiers of the First Empire assembled in the Place VendOme. They marched round the pillar, each laying a crown of immortals at the foot of their hero's statue. This muster of the survivors of the Glands Armee formed a melancholy and touching episode among the sights of the day. According to annual custom, they all dined together in the evening. At 1 o'clock a Fe DCUPA was celebrated at Notre Dams. at which all the great bodies of the state were present, Services of a similar character took place in all the other churches. At the same hour the principal theatre* gratuitously threw open their doors to the lovers of the drama—the population of the manufacturing quarters showing, as usual, a marked predilection fur the performances of the Thisitre Frencais, where classic tragedies are performed on them occasions, which few Frenchmen, however humble their station, are not acquainted with. The attention they paid to the performance might be imitated with advantage by better dressed audiences. In addition to the theatres, the Hippodrome and the Circus in the Champs Elystes were filled to overflowing, and the instrumental concert in the Exhibition building was attended by a crowd that evidently both enjoyed and appreciated what they heard. Theme amusements, however, absorbed only a small por tion of the sight-seers. For the great mass the fête would be a disappointment were the favourite " grand Ape,ta inatr de eorayne," &c., to be omitted. The mi litary spectacles consist of two huge booths, on whose boards the skill of the scene-pointer represents some inten•ely on pregnable looking fortress ; a good deal of gunpowder is ex pimled, and after some desperately Amp skirmishing, the French army gees in and aim Yesterday the lucking Cochin-Chinese receive a further lesson at the hands of the Troupier Franruise. Near the Military Theatre, four Mate de Coragnes exhibited their well-soaped propor tions, surmounted by the usual army of prizes. On the river there were rowing matches, of the merit of which there is but little to be said. The best sport in the water was afforded by a tilting match. Each champion stands on a platform in the bows of a yawl, armed with a long pole, with a kind of mop at the end. At a given signal, the boat, row against each other, and each champion trim to push his oppouent into the water. In many instances both were successful, to the great merrimeut of the multi tude. Considering the temperature on the quay, the duck ing must have been rather pleasant than otherwise. Nine o'clock was the time fixed on for the fireworks, sod as that hour approached crowds might be seen wending their way towards the Trocailero to see what marvels the prince of pyroteehnists, Euegieri, bad prepared for their amusement. Precisely at the appointed hour the first signal rocket was seen rising in the air, mud in a moment after a brilliant flight of those projectiles followed, which, on bursting displayed the national colours --blue, white, and red. bunting, these had disappeared a dazzling column of light bunt into view, surmounted by a large eagle and the initial of the Emperor. On its subsiding, the smoke had hardly been swept away by the breeze wheu the whale of the Pont d'lCna started into a blaze of light from a gigantic cascade of fire , the effect of which, when reflected by the calm surface of the river, was beautiful in the extreme. The grand fenture of the night's display consisted of a representation of the Suinuier Palate of the Emperor of China at Pekio, which, it may be re membered, was sacked and destroyed during the late war by the allied troops. This building was described as miles in extent. Its representation in variously-coloured fire wee on s ansmemmereesactle, preseutiog a facade of more than 900 yards—a more hrilliait specimen of the pyrotechnic art Us 2~ bees produced. The tires of constantly e bees, the bouquets of flowers, end th e th ou s a nd ottT eli Z fatless of Chinese orniunentatiou, altogether produced an effect of which no description can give an ides, and which reflects the highest credit on the celebrated artist. The illumioations commenced at nightfall, and were 000 of the principal attractions of the fete. The most important of them were at the Arc de Triomphe da l'Etoile, and then vast crowds collected. AU the public buildings were more or less gorgeously illuminated. All the foreign emlessies were also illuminated. The facade of the residence of the English ambaseador in the Faubourg St. Honore displayed au imperial crown, the letters "N. xal E.," and a wreath, all on a large scale, and all in gas.
