HUNGARY.

A letter from Peath, of the 26th, nye :
The committee of sixteeu, charged to present a report on
the rescript, has requested IL Doak to draw it up. Nothing
was more natural than to confide the defence of the address
to the writer of it. In the rescript, the argument of real
union reposes on the incontestable fact, that since the some-
Ginn of the Hapsburg dynasty to the throne of Hungary, the
kingdom has never been represented separately abroad. and
has always been comprised in the concert with the European
Powers with other provinces and kingdoms under ther:o%e:
tine Lame of empire of Austria. Another argument for a
more intimate union than a personal one is taken from
Art. 2 of 1741, in which it is said that the
foreign affairs of the country required the nomination
of Hungarian members of the ministry. But if Hun-
'sty hid been separately represented in foreign countries,
there would have been any union between her and
Austria; there would have been an alliance, but no union.
Had Scotland and Ireland, before the real union with &g-
-land, ambeawdors distinct from those of the Kings of
Failand ? Has Norway, which is united personally to
Sweden, *odd replesentatives in the Courts of Europe!
HAS Holstein, which undoubtedly forms part of Germany, a
special representative different from that of the King of
Denmark at the Court of Austria, or of any other country
whatsoever' Hungary obtained by compacts the guarantee
that, in Hungarian affairs, the tninisters of Austria should
exercise no influence ; but since there are questions which
may concern her interests, a Hungarian Minister must be
able to watch over and control the acts of the Austrian
Ministers.

FRA G lACOMO AND MI Pots—A correspondent
of the Slide says :—" Brother Gineamo, who attended the
lateCountCavour on hisdeath-hed, bed bad his first interview
with the Pope, who exhibited great displeasure on the oc-
otillo% After having heard the account of the last moment.
of Count Cavoor, and learned that be hail made no
retractetioe, the Pope and those who surrounded him
were of opinion that the only way of settling the matter
was to obtain from the monk an acknowledgment that be
had failed in his duty, but this, though threatened with the
terrors of the Holy Office, he declined to give. He said,
moreover, that he followed the dictates of his conscience,
and that he should be glad to see aU his parishioners die in
as Christian a manner as CountChvour."
