" citizens. 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. •

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.

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

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. Again embarking, the
King steamed op the ri% er to Waterloo-bridge, where the
Quess's carriages were in attendance to convey his Majesty
to Greevasorplace. Last evening the King entertained
Chevalier Tothe, Swedish and Norwegian Consul-General in
Leaden, and a party of Swedish gentlemen, at dinner, at
the residence of the embassy. To-day his Majesty will take

" We regret to have heanl some rumours of an unsatisfac-
tory nature respecting the health of our noble lord-lieu-
tenant ; but, as usual, rumour outruns the fact, we are
glad to say. His lordship, it is true, has bad a alight re-
lapse ; but so far from there being anything serious in the
symptoms, we have authority to state that the noble earl,
the countess, and family, are expected at Castle Hill by the
close of this present week."

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETT.—The old prac-
tice by which in former days this society achieved a great
deal of its celebrity among scientific bodies, viz., sending
out explorers and collectors to foreign parts, has been again
resumed by the society. Mr. Weir, • collector with high
recommendations, has been sent out to explore and collect
in the southern dutricta of Brazil. The society has been
well advised in its selection of his exploring ground, Santo
Paulo and St. Catharine offering greater scope for useful
discoveries than almost any other country which could be
named. Mr. Weir has commenced his duties. He arrived
in Brazil on the god June, and already a box containing
roota has been received by the society, a fair proportion of
which are in sound condition. The collar meat indicates
one direction in which discoveries may stilt be expected to
be made, even in well-known ground.
