Opening of the Trapsy va4444 Diet,

KLAUS U .NT V
NB Id. ,-0 . 20.

The Transylvanian Diet was opened yesterday
by the Royal Commissioner, Field-Marshal Count
Crenneville. His excellency addressed the Diet in
Hungarian, requesting the members to enter upon
their deliberations in a unanimous and conciliatory
spirit, for the well-being of all the peoples of the
monarchy, whose eyes were bent upon their pro-
ceedings in confidence and hope. Baron Kemeny,
the president of the Diet, then read the following
rescript from the Emperor :
" We, Francis Joseph 1., by God's grace Em-
peror of Austria, King of Hudgary, Bohemia,
Galicia, &c., offer to the members of the Diet of our
Grand Principality of Transylvania, assembled in
obedience to our summons for the 10th of Novem-
ber, our royal grace and welcome.
" In our imperial diploma of Oct. 20, 1860, pro-
claimed as a constant and an irrevocable constitu-
tional law for the entire monarchy, we recognised
it to be our duty, as Regent, to uphold the power of
the monarchy, and to confer, for its security, gua-
rantees of clear and unequivocally established con-
dition of rights and of unanimous co-operation. We
have also declared therein that such guarantees can
only be based upon institutions and rights equally
corresponding to the historical legal position, the

"Within the limits therein laid down we there-
fore graciously promised, in our said imperial
diploma, the restoration of the ancient constitution
of our countries belonging to the Hungarian Crown,
and therefore also that of our well-beloved Prin-
cipality of Transylvania. We only comply with
the internal suggestions of our paternal heart by
convoking the legal representatives of the country
upon the basis of their former laws, in accordance
with the constitution of the Principality laid down
in the diploma of our glorious ancestor, Emperor

Leopold 1., rooted in the subsequent Pragmatic
Sanction, and settled by measures afterwards
passed.

" In accordance therewith we havebeen graciously
pleased to convoke the Diet of our Grand Princi-
pality of Transylvania for the 19th November of this
present year, in our royal free city of Klausenburg,
upon the basis established by Law XI. of 1791.
"But in order that all classes and persons not
formerly entitled, though now fully authorised to
participate by the equality of all our subjects in the
eye of the law, repeatedly expressed and guaranteed
by us, as well as by the free exercise of religion
granted to all, by the capability of holding offices
independently of station or birth, by the equal and
common obligations of defence and taxation alike im-
posed upon all, and by the abolition of compulsory
,service, should also be represented at this Diet, we
have not only declared all competent to take part in
the elections who, according to the late taxation re-
turns, have paid the sum of eight florins in direct
taxes without war addition and poll-tax, but we have
also taken care that persons belonging to these classes
of the people not formerly represented have been
included among the other component parts of this
present Diet.

" We greet you joyfully as the legal representa-
tives of our Principality of Transylvania; and while
informing you herewith that we have graciously ap-
pointed our well-beloved Privy Councillor Field-
Marshal Ludwig Count Folliot Crenneville, Knight
of our Order of the Iron Crown, &c., to be our
Plenipotentiary and Commissioner at the Diet, we
request you our lieges to place full confidence in al
he lays before you in our royal name, and thankfully
to accept at his hands those our resolutions with
which you are already acquainted.
" Summoned to take into mature deliberation the
settlement of the poltitical condition of our Grand
Principality of Transylvania, and in order to bring
that question, having regard to the intimate con-
nection in which the Principality stands towards
our Hungarian Crown, to an ultimate solution in
the well-understood interests of both these coun-
tries, we herewith lay before you—equally, as it is
our intention to call upon the Hungarian Diet,
already convoked, to revise Law VII. of 1847-8
as the sole and exclusive object of your deliberations,
the revision of Article 1 of the 'Transylvanian Diet
in 1848, respecting the union of Hungary and
Transylvania, which was left provisionally unaltered
in our resolutions of Oct. 20, 18G0, and we graci-
ously call upon you immediately to submit the pro-
visions of that law to minute examination with
reference to the common interests of both countries,
and thereafter to lay before us the results of your
deliberations for our royal sanction.
" We remain, well inclined towards you in sove-
reign and royal grace and favour.
(Signed) 6 4 FRANCIS JOSEPH.
(Countersigned) "FRANCIS, COUNT HALLER.
" STEPHEN VON HORVATH."

THE VIOLENCE OF FENIANIS3I.—The leading
orator of Fenianism, Morrison, in his St. Louis
speech, thus exhibited the proscriptive spirit with
which Fenianism would make war on its Irish ene-
mies in the day of its power, should it attain power:
"Irishmen—There aro men living upon you here, and
in every city in America, who, having by some misfor-
tune, escaped the poor-house at home, came out here and
got into some little business, and have made out to own a
few dollars, and are now looking down on the blistering
hands which have made them what they are. But I will
toll you that we will take measures to ferret these fellows
out ; we will find them out, every man of them, and we
will make it better for them to be living in England than
in America when their names are published. We will
make the grass grow before some of their doors, and we
can do it, as you are not bound to trade with any man ;
and before God I would rather deal with the bitterest
Englishman that ever was born in Yorkshire than ono of
these West British Irish serfs. (Cheers.) Yes, we'll drive
them out."

NORTHERNERS MARRYING SOUTHERN LADIES.—
The Richmond correspondent of the Wheeling Intelligencer
writes :—" Among the rumours prevalent is an on dit that
General Terry, commanding the department, will shortly
marry the daughter of a well-known merchant of Rich..
mond. The young lady in question is about eighteen, and
belongs to a family remarkable for its beauty, of which, in

daughter of our richest tobacco merchant, who is said to
have secured within the coffers of the Bank of England a
princely fortune, will marry a Federal officer now on duty
in Richmond, and I have heard of one or two instances of
a similar nature. Stars and brass buttons have a proverbially
dazzling effect upon the youthful female imagination, and,
with some of our Richmond misses, it seems to be a matter
of small concern whether the stars and buttons adorn the
loyal blue' or rebel grey.' "
THE BLACKS or 'JAMAICA.--At the last census
of Jamaica, in 1861, the white population was 13,816
May,
in number, being in the proportion of one white to 32
black or coloured. Since that time some thousands of
Indian coolies have been introduced into the island as
labourers. The total population in 1861 was 441,264. The
number of children in schools was returned at 26,167 in
1863 ; the return for 1861 had shown the exceptionally
large number of 40,670, but that was the census year, and
it is supposed that returns were taken in that year which
included Sunday schools. The present is the fourth
negro rebellion in the annals of Jamaica. On the 2nd of
Jamaica, 1745, about 900 negro slaves were detected in a
conspiracy to destroy all the white inhabitants of the island.
In 1795 the Maroons, a community of fugitive slaves who
had obtained permission to settle in the northern part of
the island, and were not reduced to subjection until March
11, 1796. The most alarming outbreak, however, took
place on the 22nd of December, 1831, when the island was
placed under martial law, and most stringent measures
and numerous executions followed.
A Yankee at Nassau, who had on hand a lot of
" queer" revolvers, no sooner heard of the revolt in Jamaica
than he sailed with his entire stock for Kingston, where
owing to the panic he sold them at fabulous prices. He
immediately left the island, remarking to a friend as ho re-
embarked for Nasan that the only persons who would be
in danger from his revolvers would be those who used
them.

TIIE UNITED STATES AND HAYTT.—It is reported
that the Cabinet have decided, in concurrence with the
President, to send a fleet to Hayti, to stop the effusion of
blood on that island. The fleet, it is said, will consist of
four war steamers and ten transports, with 5,000 troops.—
