AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

-
We announced exclusively in the fourth edition of
;The Sun of last evening, that Hungary had declared
her independence, and had chosen KOSSUTH as Pre-
sident of the Exeeutive.

We now publish in extenso—
THE HUNGARIAN DECLARATION OF INDE,

PENDENCE.

The 14th of April, 1849, is an eternal era in the his-
tory of Hungary.
The representatives of the nation assembled on this
day at Debreczin, in their accustomed house of meeting,
to resolve one of the leading questions of their great
mission, and to decide the lot of Hungary, in relation to
the ruling dynasty of Hapsburg-Lorraine. In order,
however, that the resolutions to be taken might be at-
tended with the publicity and solemnity befitting so
great an occasion, the sitting was held in the great
Reformed Church, in presence of thousands of the people.
Ludwig Kossuth, President of the Committee of
National Defence, reported upon the battles won, and the
victorious career of oar brave army. Then he declared
that now the time was come for Hungary to strip off the
shackles which she had worn for three hundred years,
and to take the rank which she deserved among Euro-
pean states. Now, once for all, must she renounce all
submission to the sceptre of a dynasty which had repaid
her services with ingratitude and her allegiance with
treachery. This decree of the National Assembly was
longed for by the nation, who had borne with loyal and
patriotic readiness the burdens of their struggle for
liberty ; it was demanded by the army, which had
poured forth its blood so liberally to save the country;
it was necessitated by circumstances, in order that Hun-
gary might be properly represented at the European
Congress which was contemplated, in order to settle the
new face of things in some more possible shape than the
entirely broken up old one was. In one word, the
country, the world, God, all required from the House of
It, pt.( sentatives this final resolution.
The President of the Government then proposed
the following motions :
" 1. Hungary, together with Transylvania, and all
parts, lands, and provinces appertaining to the Hunga-
rian kingdom, is publicly proclaimed as a free and in-
dependent European State. The unity of its surface is
declared indivisible, and its integrity inviolable.
2. The House of Hapsburg- Lorraine, through its
treachery, perjury, and employment of armed force
against the Hungarian nation, no less than through the
boldness with which it has dismembered the territorial
integrity of the land, by severing from Hungary, Croatia
and Transylvania, slit inked nut from the slaughter of
the people with armed forces, has, with its own hands,
torn up the pragmatic sanction, and sundered that bond,
which, upon, the base of a mutual connexion, subsisted
between the said house and Uungary with its annexed
lands. This perjured house of Hapsburg-Lorraine is
for ever excluded from the aoveignty of Hungary, Tran-
sylvania, and the parts, provinces, and lands appertain-
ing to the Hungarian kingdom, in the name of the na-
tion, deposed, and banished from the enjoy went of the
ground and all civic rights.
"3. While Hungary, acenrintig LP 114 inaeleaaible
natural rights, enters into the Luropean family of states
as a semi dependent, independent, and tree state, she
declares at the same time that it is her firm resolve to

observe towards all the other states, as long as her own
rights remain 'uninjured, relations of peace and friend •
ship, especially towards those states which were hereto-
fore united with and under the same sovereign, and to
live on terms of good understandin;; as well with the
Turkish empire a; with the DaHui states, and to lay
with these the foundation of a friendly intercourse upon
reciprocal interests.

" 4. Tne future system of government will in all its
details bi- brought to completion by the National Assem-
bly. Meantime, until this is done, the country in its
whole extent will be governed by a President of the
Government, with the Ministers, to be appointed by
him, at his side, under his own and their personal re-
sponsibility.

- The representatives of the nation, with one will
and one voice, accepted the motion of the President,
KOSSUTH; and thousands of the people expressed
with the most fervid enthusiasm, their unanimous ad-
herence to the resolutions cf their representatives.
Upon the 4th proposition of LUDWIG KOSSUTH the
house chose him by acclamation for First President
of the Government under the new order of things.
The committee of three chosen consists of KOSSUTH,
EMERICH CZACZVARZ, and STEPHEN GOAGYE•
The President of the Upper House, Baron PERENG,
put to the vote, on the same day, the resolutions
adopted in the Lower, which were passed with enthu-
siastic unanimity, all the members rising up from
their seats.
