ADDRESS IRON THE HUNGARIAN DIRT TO THE RING

OF RUNGART.

" Sire,—Late events impose upon us the sacred duty
of turning our most anxious attention towards those
measures which the present time makes it necessary to
demand for the welfare of our own country, for the wel-
fare of the whole empire, and, consequeetly, for the
welfare of our beloved Fatherland. Looking back upon
our history, we feel convinced by the experience of the
past, not only that it is our duty to maintain our consti-
tutional rights, but that by strong efforts we should have
been able to strengthen and increase them but for the
fact that your Majesty's Government was not in unison
with our independent and constitutional Administration,
and they, fore no real and sincere understanding can sub-
sist between your Cabinet and our Government.
" The tendency of your Cabinet is always directly
opposed to that of our Administration—the one being
anti-constitutional, and the other most anxious to main-
tain the ancient constitution of this kingdom. But at
present we see clearly that if a good understanding be
not soon established, the throne of your Majesty, as well
as the welfare of the whole •mpire, will be seriously
endangered; and to prevent this great calamity, there-
fore, our well-known fidelity to the house of Hapsburg
compels us to make the following representations.—
(Here follow the same demands that have recently been
made upon their Sovereigns by the ►arious states of Ger-
many.) We pray your Majesty's immediate consent to
these measures, and more especially that of submitting
the finances to the control of your faithful States. For
this purpose it will be necessary to come to a full under-
standing with several of the provinces of your Majesty's
dominions, and, with a due reservation of our constitu-
tional rights, we most cheerfully offer our assistance for
that object. It is further necessary for the welfare of
our country, that an entirely new and separate Adminis-
tration be formed, independent of the rest of your
Majesty's dominions, and that the Ministers it may
please your Majesty to appoint be at the same time
made responsible to the majority of the Hungarian
people.
"It is in this" sense that we interpret our most im-
portant mission ; and to come to a full and thorough
understanding with your Majesty, upon these matters
of ♦ital importance our fixed and unalterable deter-
mination.

" Our fidelity to your Majesty compels us to repeat,
in the strongest terms, that it will not be our fault, but
that of your Majesty's Government, if peace be not pre-
served at home aryl sufficient protection afforded against
invasion from abroad.

"Presburg, March 6, 1848."
We learn from Prague, under the date of the Bth
instant, that some disturbances had occurred there,
which resulted in an address from the City Council to
the EMPEROR, making the same demands as have
lately been preferred to most of the German So-
vereigns.
The Zeitungshall of the 10th inst. contains the
following, under date Presburg, sth inst.—
" The greatest agitation prevails here. The fate of
Hungary and of the monarchy depends on the resolu-
tions the King will will adopt. The exchange of couriers
with Vienna is very active. The Hunga►ian nobility
reckons 150,000 men able to carry arms. The Archduke
Palatine left yesterday for Vienna, not to be obliged to
preside at the Chamber of Magnets and proclaim
the adoption of the address of the Second
Chamber. The address was read, but its adopi
tion is postponed until the return of the Archduke
Palatine. Count Batthyany, chief of the Opposition,
questioned the right of the Archduke to suspend the
deliberations and resolutions of the Chamber by his
departure. The House adjourned amidst the greatest
agitation. The Archduke returns this evening. To-
morrow the Chamber of Magnets will pass the address.
The least delay might compromise AIL The King must
make concessions in order to obviate immoderate pre-
tensions."

The Carlsruhe Gazette of the 11th inst. publishes
a decree of the Grand Duke of BADEN, abolishing all
feudal rights.

Madrid papers of the 7th have arrived.
The QUEEN had expressed the most lively satisi
faction at the intelligence which she had received on
the previous day of the safe arrival of her sister the
Duchess of MOITPENSISR in London. On the even-
ing of the Gth the petition from the Progressista press
was presented to the QUEEN by a deputation, consisting of Senors COARADI, LIIIRINr LABRADOR,
PRINSIPE, and LuzAJte. On delivering the petition
into her MAJzsTr's hands, Senor COER•DI addressed
the QUEEN M follows :--
" Senora,—The Committee of the Progressista press
has the high honour of placing their petition in your
Majesty's hands, with the object that you may deign to
deny your sanction, when the time arrives, to the
project of law presented by the Government to the
Cortes,
guarantees, and to raise 200 millions upon the public
asking authority to suspend the personal
fortune.
" The right of saying the truth to Sovereigns is as
ancient, Senora, as the traditions of the monarchy.
In this conception, and when there is no symptom
that can give even a pretext for measures so alarm-
ing, the adoption of them in such circumstances
would be to inflict an insult on the proved loyalty of '
the Spanish people, whose blood and patriotism
secured, the Crown upon your; Majesty's brows, in the
days of proof and of danger.
"There exists not a single Spaniard, Senora, who
