peeeible contingency in those civil or military
where are uttered prophecies of victory over the
French as soon as all Germany shall have drawn
the sword, and where vows of final vengeance
are breathed against the inappeasable Italians.
But when the crowd of the diplomatic salon has die•
parsed, and each confidential counsellor of Duff-
els mOnnll marinates on the passing hints
and broken sentences of dubious import that have
reached his anxious ear during the day, that which
recurs oftenest, and which he finds it hardest to bid
away from his waking pillow, is the last indication
of Hungary's silent but inextinguishable sense of
wrong. Words of reproach have long been inter-
dicted on pain of sequestration, banishment, or
worse. Expressions of remonstrance, however
guided and courtly, have for some time fallen into
disuse u valueless. The ancient halls of the Hun-
garian legislature were closed by an order of the day
in 1849 ; and since then the representation of
popular wants through the modern tribunate,
journalism, has been unknown. All is politically
still—still as is wont to be a nation's grave; and
from the foot of the Carpathians to the bridge of
Buds, not a dog is suffered to bark disrespectfully to
the first monarch who has ever exercised despotic
rule over that once free land. But not even those
who have made away perfidiously with all the sanc-
tions of its ancient freedom can persuade themselves
that the old loved liberties arc forgotten. Infinite
pains have been taken, indeed, to set class
spriest class, and to persuade the traders of
the towns and the cultivators of the soil
that the new taxes upon income which the nobles
have been made to pay are a greaterepractical asser-
tion of the principle of equality in the eye of the
law, than any which the old parliaments, with their
separate orders and social immunities, would have
ever accorded. But the satisfaction wherewith men
look upon the abrogation of privileges, which they
have long known to be worm-eaten, is brief
and barren. No permanent impulse comes of
that. All educated Hungarians well under-
stood that had the war of independence lasted
a few months longer the doom of every feudal
exemption would have been sealed; and that,
had triumph crowned the efforts and gasifiers
made alike by all, all would have shared their fruits
in common. The privileges of the Magyar noblesse
were the rusty hinges on the great massive doors of
national liberty, and doubtless made them often open
too tardily and creakingly ; but the people who
have seen doors, roof, walls, and all they looked to
for shelter, glory, and defence, swept ruthlessly
away, and the abomination of desolation set up
in its sacred place, are not likely to be
very grateful for the change. Deeper and
stronger than any reminiscence of domestic lead
amongst themselves, is the distrust and dislike
cherished by the Hungarians of all races and ranks
towards the Germane, as their conquerors and de-
spoilers. The peasantry share in this antipathy as
strongly as their betters, and sentiments of the kind
are seldom measurable in their intensity by degrees
of refinement or education. The Protestant element,
which, though subordinate in point of wealth and
numbers, is powerful in its cohesiveness and its
self-reliant spirit, is naturally hostile to the regime
of the Concordat. The enterprise and ambi-
tion of cultivated life are, as in Lombardy,
irreconcileably disaffected to the Austrian order of
things, in which they have no place, save that of
plotters ; and the aristocracy, although fond of the
gaiety and glitter of Vienna, and subject as they
have ever been to the allurements of luxury and
dissipation there, nevertheless retain sufficient
unity of feeling and national sentiment to prevent
their being absorbed, even in appearance, in the
mingled crowd of imperial courtier.. Up to the
present hour neither frowns nor persuasions have
succeeded in getting the Hungarian nobles to sub-
scribe addresses of fealty and devotion to the throne.
Great uneasiness is un-expressed, but not the less
acutely felt, as to the possible consequences that may
ensue from the presence in the Sardinian camp of
several Hungarian officers of rank who took part in
the war of independence in their own country. A
asps I. said to be already organising which is to be
commanded by these gallant soldiers of freedom, and
which is to wear the Hungarian uniform. In the
ranks of the Austrian army there are a vast cumber
who cannot behold the insignia of their unhappy
country borne by men arrayed against them with-
out deep emotion. To what will such emotion
lead ? At first the habit of discipline and the sense
of hopelessness may predominate; but should the
war be protracted until tidings reach the Lombardo-
Venetian camp that the struggle of ten years ago is
about to be renewed upon the Danube, who
shall tell the extent to which the demoralisation
may spread? For the sake of brave men whom it
were murderous folly to lead rashly into temptation,
we hope that no passionate longing to retrieve the
fatal days of 1849 will lead the friends of
Hungary into any precipitate move. And for
the sake of a generous and freedom.loving people,
who ham every claim upon the sympathy of
mankind, we treat that they may not be betrayed
into premature efforts at national emancipation.
Let them bide their time ; as things now seem to
stand, that time is sure to come. When their op.
pressor has been weakened in the life and death
wrestle now but beginning with France, then
will be the opportunity to assert their legitimate
claims, and then it will no longer be in the power of
despotism to resist them.

THE VAR IN ITALY.

SUCCESSES.

A telegram from Turin, dated this morning
(received by Mr. Renter), lays:

Garibaldi has received reinforcements at Como.
The artillery has been organised and a national
guard mobilised. Volunteers are hastening to
increase the militia.

" The national movement is spreading and the
town of Lecco is free.

" The Austrians, in considerable force, have occu-
pied Bobbio."

It was on Friday evening, after a furious fight,
which lasted from 5 to 8 o'clock, that Garibaldi en-
tered Como. The combat was renewed at Camer-
late, and the Austrians again gave way and re-
treated. The town of Canso was illuminated, and all
the steamers on the lake are in the hands of the
patriots.
A telegram sent by General Garibaldi, dated
Como, May 28, 10 a.m., states:—" We attacked and
defeated the enemy yesterday evening, and entered
Como at 10 o'clock the same night. The Austrians
were completely routed, and fled in the direction of
Moan."

This news was received at the Sardinian head-
quarters, The Xing sent in reply a telegram to
Garibaldi eulogising that general.
It is announced from the Lego Maggiore that the
Austrian war steamers Benedek and Radetzki can-
nonaded Canobbio during three hours, which town
was admirably defended. No loss occurred on the
Sardinian side, while several of the enemy were
wounded.

On the eastern bank of the Stria, facing Vercelli,
a trifling engagement took place, in which the Aus-
trians were repulsed.

Insurrectionary movements have taken place in the
Valteline, and 800 Valteline insurgents are now on
board the Austrian steamers.

The telegraphic connexion between Turin and
Como is re-established.

Generals Garibaldi and Niel were expecting the
A uat rian corps d'armee commanded by General Urban.

We read in the Independance Beige:
" Garibaldi's operations have been blamed as
dangerous because they are apparently not con-
nected with any general movement, but they do
not deserve the criticisms directed against them.
Garibaldi was to have been supported by the allied
army, but it would appear from Vienna despatches
that the Franco-Bardinian army have met with un-
expected difficulties on the. Sala and the Po,
which they have not as yet succeeded
in overcoming. Their most admired posts are at
Borgo-Vereelli, where they have been for some
days. As we said yesterday, they had obtained a
footing at Candle, but they were dislodged from
this position by the Austrian artillery. It is to be
observed, however, that the Ifonileur telegram
makes no mention of these incidents, merely saying
that there is nothing new in the situation. The
Austrians occupy very strong positions at Stradella,
and it is doubtful whether the allies will attack
them on that point. The battle of Montebello,
therefore, although • brilliant achievement, will
produce no practical result, on future operations."

Prince Napoleon. The Tuscan ifositere gives the
following text of the order in question :
. . . _

Yucanaoldiers,—At the fret rumour of MUCCI' war you
sought a chid to lead you to the Geld against the Inlanira of
Italy. I accepted that leadership, steins that it we. my
duty to give order and discipline to all the forces of the
notice. You are no longer the soldiers of an Italian pro-
vince; yea Sum part of the ar.ay of Italy. Deming you
worthy of fighting by the side of the brave soldiers of FTILIWO,
I plus you under the orders of my wan-beloved son-in-law,
Prince Napoleon, to whom important military operations are
entrusted by the Emperor of the French. Obey him as you
would obey me. He sham in the thoughts and offs:a .na
entertained by me and the generous Emperor who has come
to Italy to avenge justi, e and defend the national right.
Soldiers, the day el great trials has arrived. I depend on
yen. Yon have to maintain and enhance the honour of the
Italian aria. Vic-roa EMILLIMZ.L.
