HUNGARY.

PESTH, Dsc. 12.

The declaration addressed by the Comitats Com-
mittee to the Chancellor of Hungary, contains, be-
sides the four points already announced, an urgent
request that the enlistment of soldiers and the
tobacco monopoly may be suspended until the
decision of the Diet has been taken on these
questions.
VIENNA, Fumy.
The Ott Deutsche Post, in a leading article, says :
" The accumulation of arms and ammunition in
Moldavia and Wallachia and the orenization of
foreign legions in Italy are to be attributed to an
extensive scheme which partly aims at the separa-
tion of these provinces from the Porte, and partly
at a rising of several other nationalities."
Not only a Hungarian but a Polish legion has
been organized. In view of this state of things
Russia has depatched a threatening declaration to
Prince Couza, and has concentrated 12,000 men in
Bessarabia.

The same journal also publishes accounts from
Perth, according to which some Hungarian and
Polish soldiers fraternised while drinking spirits
together in a coffee-house, and made a demonstra-
tion in favour of their nationalities. They also
tore the yellow and black stripes off their trousers.
They were carried to prison by a military patrol.
The Austrian Gazette publishes a despatch from
Perth, dated 11th inet., announcing that some in-
habitants of that city had resolved on submitting
an address to the Chancellor, which had also been
communicated to the other comitats for their ac-
ceptance. This address contains the following
points :-1. The convocation of the Hungarian
Diet at the earliest possible period on the basis of
the electoral law of 1848 ; 2. The promulgation of
the press law of 1848 ; 3. The collecdon of taxes
due to be suspended until the assembling of the
Diet ; 4. No judges but those elected by the people
to hold office in the different comitats.

SYRIA.

The French papers publish accounts from
Damascus, stating that aims the departure of Fuad
Pasha from that city the Dlussulinans have re-
sumed their misdeeds, and killed tuenty Christians.
The remainder are emigrating, and their number so
increases at Beyront that thee te-e cruwdedtogether
like sheep. At Latakia the Diussulmaua are furious
against the Christians, anti load them with curses
and insults. Some of theca threw a letter
before the door of the Russia.: zunsul, couched as
follows :—"Cursed consult Do; that you are I
We will soon make you perish, with all the Chris-
tians of this town." The cous-2 c-,T.lpLained to the
Pasha of Tripoli, but he obtained no redress, and
he then laid the matter is-ore the Paella of
Beyront.
A recent letter furnishes some details of the
operations of the French army in Syria :

The Turkirli column, which has ;s_-t left Beyrout, went
by sea to whence they marched on Basbeya and
Bascheya, while other Turkish troops, starting from Daman-
cue, were to hove combined their movcr'euts with theirs.
A French column, about 2,000 or 3,000 strong, would, at
the same time, march from Beynat oar Deirel-Kamar.
These three corps, when properly divided, would hem in
the Druse country iu a quadrile.oic, of which the sea
forms one of the side.. As to the programme of the
operations, they are to be as follows : Detachments will
be directed on all the Dress villsgee meet seriously
compromised tin the late event.; toe mLibitants will be
assembled, either of their own free sill 4' by force, and,
after being assured that the Eitt!'en., ttr.,.y is tmrtninga
VOA of justice and not of eaterminati:7o, they will I,e called
on to deliver up certain guilty parties nuneal to them. The
spirit of solidarity which couatitittes almost a!one tleJ reli.

for the interest of all ; and after II e tneiation r.nd de-

amount, as a guarantee for the completion of the
works, retaining the right of withdrawing the same
deposit a year after the entire construction of the
railway.
With the conditions touching mechanical details
I do nut trouble you ; but I may mention that, as
any portion of a line, is finished, it will be con-
signed to the government, who will organise the
service according to its wishes. The society is to
form a committee of direction, who will present

PORTUGAL

(now ova owe COMIPOND11111%)
LISBON, Bac. 18.
A good deal of excitement has been caused ire
in consequence of the contents of a despatch of the
nuncio, Mgr. Ferrieri, having transpired. The
provisions made for the levy of Peter's pence
throughout the kingdom of Portugal haveawakened
the wrath of the Jornal do Commercio, which paper
has declaimed very bitterly on the subject, and
some bad feeling exists.
The Kiug and Duke of Oporto dined on board
the Mersey. Some of the high state functionaries
were also invited, and partook of the hospitality of
the captain. During the recent stay of the English
fleet in Lisbon it was generally remarked that there
occurred fewer cases of disorderly conduct among
the men when on shore-leave than usual.

There appears to have been a much better vintage
in the Port wine districts this year than for several
seasons past ; but it will still take some time before
there can be anything like a stook laid in or a reduo-
tion of prides obtained. Latterly a great propor-
tion of the spirit used for fortifying wine, both in
Lisbon and Oporto, has been imported from Eng-
land—chiefly from Glasgow—and this fact evidently
shows the sad falling off in the quantity of
wine produced. It is considered here that the
measure adopted by Mr. Gladstone for levying the
duty ou wines according to the quantity of spirit
they contain will put the Portuguese wines under
great disadvantage, as they are all full bodied and
highly brandied, and will not consequently be able
to compete with the lighter French wines.
Since the departure of the last packet there has
been little alteration in foreign exchanges. The

owned his allegianoe. It is by their bearing, or their
want of bearing upon Hungary that all great
measures of Austrian policy are just now judged.
The reforms by which, as our telegrams show,
M. SCHIMLLNO is marking hie accession to office
would be highly important in any circumstances
other than those of the hour. But the main
question is wh►t to do with the demands of the
Hungarians, that their Parliament and that only
shall vote Hungarians for the Imperial Army,
Hungarian money to the Imperial Treasury. Until
that is decided not a step can be taken towards a
real settlement of Austrian affairs.

GUILDHALL.

George Brown, alias Andrew Poky, and Janie* King, were
itharied with the following watch robberies.
It appeared that the prose ally an elderly gentleman,
who wore a great coat buttoned up to his throat, was stand-
ing in Alderegateetreet, on Thursday last, while the City of
London Hides, who were to form a guard of honour to Lord
(lyde and General Outrun, on the occasion of their visit to
Guildhall, were piratic, when the prisoners and another
MP placed themselves in front of the prosecutor, and Brown
was 906 P by one witness slipping his hand between the but-
tons of the old gentleman's coat, and on withdrawing his
hand the same person observed him pass something to some
one behind him, upon which they all ran away.
Ifr. Chem an hotel-keeper of Akierspteetreet, said
he was stars at his own door when two men stopped in
front of hiss, and soon after King forced his way between
them, and took op a position by the side of witness, who
very shortly after saw all the men hurry away, and imme-
diately mused his gold waten, of the value 21., which he
imagined must have been taken from his waistcoat pocket
while his arm was raised in the at of saluting some mem-
bers of the Hite Brigade.
Both robberies took place almost on the earn, spot,
and within a few minutes of each other ; but as the pri-
soners were not known to the police, the court decided
upon dialing smartrily wit► them.

Mr. Beard tubmitted that it was an impossibility for
Brown to have stolen the watch, as deecribed by the wit-
nem, as the old geatleman's oast was buttoned on the con-
trary side to the pocket in which the watch was kept ; and
with regard to King, there was no evidence of his taking
Mr. Champion's watch.
Alderman Hale said it was clear to him that the prisoners
were prowling about with a dishonest purpose in view, and
he therefore oommitted them for three months with hard
labour.

the palatinate ; the 29th restricts the privilege of
immovability of the officials to the judges ; the
30th gives instructions to the minister of public
works ; and the 31st speaks of theatres.
Of these laws, the Imperial diploma of October
20 confirmed the Bth, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and
13th articles. The counties and towns insist now
especially upon the revivification of the sth, 16tb,
17th, 23rd, 25th, and 28th articles, about the fmn-
tibiae and the organisation of counties, towns, and
districts ; together with the 18th, about the liberty
of the press. There is no doubt that the confer-
ence of Gran will accept them all. As regards the
third article, creating an independent and respon-
sible cabinet, the country has at yet remained
silent ; and if Austria should yield on all
the other points, the Diet might be will-
ing to strike out that law from the
statutes, and seek some other guarantees for
the liberties of the country. The march of events
is, however, so rapid, that it is difficult to see the
way clear. Prudence and forbearance at Vienna,
two qualities which until now were not to be found
at the court and in the cabinet, might perhaps
make an arrangement posaible, but according to
the views which predominate at Vienna, and to the
general distrust in Hungary, there remains scarcely
any possibility to avoid an explosion and a confla-
gration. The country cannot so easily forget the
oppression of the last eleven years—tempua ipsa
pace stevum—nor the perjury by which she has
been robbed of her rights.

POPULAR EXCITEMENT AT ROME.

ROME, Dsc.
The Pope delivered an allocation in the consis-
key held on the 17th inst. His Holiness spoke of
the persecutions of the Christiana in Byria and
China. He condemned the pamphlet of M. Cayla,
entitled " Le Pape et PEmpereur ;" and announced
that the Grand Duke of Baden had violated the
Pontifical concordat.

The Roman patriots have posted up on the walls
of Rome bills bearing the arms of King Victor

led to any arrests.

AUSTRALIA.

We have received advice"! from Melbourne and
Adelaide, dated August 25.

Another ministerial crisis forms almost the sum
of political events contained in the summaries of
the Melbourne journals. The remote cause of the
crisis is the general disagreement between the
two Houses of Legislature respecting the princi-
ples which ought to govern the adjustment of
the land question. At the time the mail left,
the late Nicholson ministry were at work again,
and a re-construction of that cabinet was to be
sought. Business in both hou..ws had been at •
standstill

The delay in completing the purchase of the
Geelong and Melbourne Railway had caused a con-
siderable amount of ill-feeling. The bitch arises
from a dispute between the government and the
company as to whether the purchasers or the
vendors should be responsible fur any claims which
may hereafter be brought against the company for
auy acts doue by them up to the present date.
The ticket-of-leave system had been abolished.
Of the gold held, the Herald reports :
The falling off in the yield of gold, to which we have
had oucrion to allude in previous sumniaricia still con-
tinues, although the dimiuution is in a smaller ratio than
during previous montlui. Since the departure of the last
mail, 193,200 or. have been brought to town by government
escorts, as compared with 209,257 in the oarrespoading
period of 1869, arid 249,438 in 1868, 11 may perhaps be
urged that a larger amount of gold reached Melbourne by
private hands than during footer years, as a large number
of diggers are now at work in the ranges at the head of the
Yana and in Gipps land, but the produce of thaw dis-
tricts is not nearly enough to &comet for the dreary.
The quantity shipped since our last summary amounts to
2/0,842 oz., compared with 245,693 in 1839, and 232,8;i3 in '
1&58. no mining companies, from which so much wee
hoped, have not turned out at all equal to the upeetations
they excited, for although some half dozen are highly pro-
Stable, sod poyiug dividends at the rate of from 25 to tiD
per cent. per annum, several are being now wound up, r
hopelessly lad, and the prospects of a large proportion are
more than doubtful.

have sailed from Melbourne mince the let ut July :
