HUNGARY.

The Gazette d'Augsburg states that the families
of the high nubility of Hungary appear determined
to live in retreat. The arrangements which they
are making in their hotels indicate their intention
to return to the country, which they have but just
quitted. A very small portion of them are likely
to pass the winter in Perth. The merchants and
shopkeepen will feel their absence sorely, and the
pleasures of the carnival are likely this year So be
reduced to a nullity. They seem resolved to meet
the measures of government by • mere passive
resistance, sod this, it is thought, will em
government much more than active agitation could
possibly do.
THE JEWS AT MECKLENBURG.

The amens d' Augsburg says, that at Rostock the
Jewish population are not only forbidden to pur-
chase landed property, as is the case all through the
duchy, but they are even forbidden to live in the
town. In fact, they are only allowed to visit the
town during the fair time, for the purpose of carry-
ing on their business. Some short time sines a
more liberal spirit began to prevail. Part of
the municipal body, the second section, as it is
called, consisting of deputies from the trades-
people, have lately passed a resolution empowering
the Jews permanently to reside in Rostock. It is
thought, however, that the first section of the
municipal body, which is composed of the magis-
trates and merchants, will oppose this liberal pro-
position.
