PiESBU ItG, SEPT. 16.—Their Imperial 41a-
: ties arrived on.the 12th, in the evening, at the
Palace of Schlosshof, two leagues from this city:
Their Majesties will make their public entry
4lte the city on the 17th, and the coronation of
♦'tier Majesty the Empress will take place on the
Uth.

Their Imperial Highnesses the Archduke
Francis Charles, and his consort, the Arch-
tiachess Sophia, arrived here yesterday evenin. -
The 11th, 12th, and 13th having been em-
ployed in the visits of the Magnates to his Im-
p•tial Highness the Archduke Palatine, and of
111 e Estates to his 'Nlajesty's Commissioner, the
Diet began on the 14th with the first sitting of
the Estates at nine o'clock, who met in the cen-
tral Hall in the Palace of the States. The As-
sembly was extremely numerous, and was
opened by the Royal Commissioner, in a ,
powerful speech, in the Hungarian language,
which was so perfectly adapted to the occasion,
that the whole Assembly broke out into unani-
Mous expressions of applause. The Reverend
Canon, Alexander V. Jordansky, Abbot and
Deputy of the Chapter of Gran, replied in the
name of the States, also in the Hungarian lan-
guage, with the eloquence for which he is so re-
-a arkuble.

Half an hour, later the Magnates and higher
Estates assembled in their Hall, founded by his
Royal Higlmess the Archduke Palatine of the
kingdom. The-dignified speech, profoundly af-
fecting the •hearts and minds of the whole assem-
bly, delivered by his Imperial Highness in the
Latin language,made a more powerful impression,
as his Imperial Highness took a retrospective view
of the manifold merits of many eminent statesmen
who have died since the last Diet, held 26th
May,lBl2. This speech was received with ex-
traordinary enthusiasm, and the highest degree
Of cordial attachment and respect for his Impe-
rial Highness was shewn in the most grateful
expressions. While his Grace the Primate of
the Kingdom was replying to this speech, a de-
putation was chosen by the States on the motion
of the. Royal Commissioner, which was to repair
to the Hall of the Magnates, and to express their
respect and gratitude to his Imperial Highness,.
and to compliment the Magnates and higher
States. The above-mentioned Rev. Canon Jor-
density was at the head of this Deputation, and
was answered in the Hungarian language by his
Excellency Baron Ignatius Von Szepessy, Bishop
of Transylvania. Hereupon a Deputation was ap-
pointed by both. Chambers to proceed to Schlesshof,
and to earry to their Majesties the submission of
the whole Hungarian nation,aud formally to invite
them to make their public entry for the corona-
tion of the Empress. The Royal Commissioner
then named two Members to keep the Journal of
the Diet, and the intention of the Archduke Pa-
latine to proceed to the Church of St. Salvador,
for the Veni- Sancte, -being made known, the
Assembly rose, and proceeded on foot to
church. The Primate
.of . the Kingdom, in
„ponfificalibus, and, attended by .a great number of
the superior Cloirgy, received. them at the door of
the church, and conducted his Imperial Highness
to the seat prepared for, him.. After the Veni Sande
and high mass, the Assembly returned to their
halt, 'and all the Estates held a joint sitting, •and
t•le three letters addressed by his Majesty to the
Archduke Palatine ; Ist, Oo the entry of their
Majesties on the 17th ; 2d, On the delivery of
the Royal proposition ; 3d, On the coronation
of the Empress on the 25th having been read, the
protocol was read, signed, and sealed, and the
Lest 44ting closed by his Imperial Highness, who
