The Comitat of Honth has resolved upon send-
ing an address in reply to the Imperial manifesto.
The following is a summary of this address :
The Comitat has not transgressed, and will not
transgress, the limit of lawful rights. It will,
however, prserve all its ancient rights, and will
maintain the laws of 1848 until the Diet shall
have resolved upon a change in the same. The
Comitat is of opinion that without the existence
of an independent Hungarian Ministry, which
was guaranteed by the laws of 1848, Hungary
cannot be considered to be lawfully governed.
The Comitat will gladly submit to the decision of
such a Ministry.

ARRIVAL OF THE KANGAROO.
QUEENSTOWN, Jan. 24.

The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Steam-ship Company's steamer Kangaroo, with
the American mails and 143 passengers, arrived
here this afternoon. She left New York on the
12thqinstant. Having landed the Irish portion
of the mails, she proceeded for Liverpool. All
well.
The New York herald of the 12th instant
says :—Four States have now bolted from the
Union as follows—South Carolina December 20th,
Mississippi January 9th, Florida January 10th,
and Alabama January 11th.
Our dispatches from lirashingtorr announce an
abatement of the excitement in consequence of
pacific news from Charleston. The authorities
relinquished possession of the steamer Marion,
and she will resume her place on the line between
Charleston and New York.
A despatch from St. Louis states that yesterday
evening, by order of General Scott, the Federal
troops took possession of the sub-treasury, custom-

The legislature of South Carolina re-assembled

ron Monday, the 7th instant. The first business
taken up was the bill appropriating $300,000 for
arming the States, and there is a general desire
to make the appropriation at least one million.
The bill had already passed the Senate. The
Crittenden resolutions are popular in the States,
but the belief grows stronger every day that it is
folly to expect anything from a party who deny
plain constitutional rights, and offer nothing at
this tremendous crisis but coercion, instead of
justice and compromise.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—The proceedings of
the Legislature yesterday were unusually impor-
tant,—both Houses, with but two dissenting

adopted resolutions appropriate to the recent
special message of the President to Congress,
and tendering him whatever aid in men and money
may be required to enable him to enforce the
laws and uphold the authority of the Federal
Government.
