PIUNGARY.
The Universal p an Gault. sive :
The text of the peti by the Hunpriaa nobility
kw presentation to peer of Magri& is now kamse. The
petitioners request the use of the Hungarian leaguage
shall be officially established in the echoole and public ad-
ministrations; only Hungarians be admitted to exercise pub-
lic functions ; the Woiwodine and the Banat be reunited
to Hungary; the constitutional regime be again brought into
operation ; a national representation be restored to Ilungszy,
and the times be better divided. So long eis the present system
of centralisation prevails in Austria, the fate of ■oeh a pe-
tition cannot be doubtful. As the Magyar etateamen are not
wanting in political prapimeity, it is astonishing that they
cold have presented a petition which evidently has no
chance of mamma. It has been signed by upwards of 000
notabilliles, among whom are all the Hun,,,mrian episcopacy.
The only two important penamages who have refused to sign
the petition are Prince Esterhacy, who bus doubtless with-
held from family moveless, end Prince liatthyani, who,
having been educated abroad and not speaking the Magyar
language, attends but little to polities.

ration of the political priaoners. In several towns the inha-
bitants spontaneoualy illnmineted.

empiftli from Mareilles, which lately appeared in that

geenneral whom Lamoriciere relied upon to lodge Napoleon in

here." In reply to this allusion, Lamonciare rye—` Yottr
oa.oeporident, wishing to make people believe in the plc-
tended conspiracy, previoue to the 2nd of December, 18.51,
has here repeated one of those oalumniee which were attempted
to be speed attar the coop trete by those who were ac-
cempliem in that set. But France is well aware that the
cause of my meet and my exile wan only my well known
resolution to defend her lava and her liberties. Am for my
comrades of the army, there is not one of them who ever
looked to me fur an invitation to forget their duty. I appeal
to their own consciences to attest my assertion."
