LONDON, MONDAY

so extensive as our own Reform!Bill of 1832, was carried.
In 1847, in the month of November, the Diet met,
and in the Diet KOSSUTH was the representative of
Pesth ;at that time, as KOSSUTH tells us, the Hun-
garians were not planning revolutions, were not toil-
ing in secret conspiracy, but were struggling fairly
and openly for their rights. Now, in November,
1847, no throne in Europe seemed more secure than
did that of Louts PauarrE and that of FERDINAND
of Austria; they were at that time planning together
an intervention in Switzerland for the purpose of
putting down liberty in that country a and it is
therefore manifest that the struggle in Hungary was
not occasioned by the French revolution of 1848.
The meeting of the Diet did not put a stop to the
encroachments and intrigues of the Austrian Go-
vernment, and KOSSUTH, like a true-hearted patriot,
felt it his duty to do all in his power to resist them.
How did he propose to do this ? By force ? by
violence ? by revolutionary outbreak ? by intrigue ?
No such thing. He proposed to do this by respectful
representations to the SOVEREIGN himself. He thus
himself relates the proposals which he made :
" I proposed, therefore, that we should meet these
continued encroachments of the Government upon our
rights by resuming the chief source of our rights. On
the head of our Sovereign two crowns were laid—one
was a constitutional crown, the other was an absolute
crown. These two crowns could never agree—they
never could be united—which of them was to prevail
history will show. Bat as we felt that the absolute
crown was the source of all the encroachments on
the constitutional rights of Hungary, and that
so long as the two were united there
could be no solidarity for the future of
the nations, I proposed that it was our duty, as the
elder brother of Austria, to go to the King, and to ask
that he should restore the constitutional liberties of the
other portions of his dominions, so as by this means to
put aside the enchainment that had been put upon the
constitutional rights of Hungary. That was what I
proposed. I believe that no just man will charge me
by this proposition of a measure which was universally
adopted by Parliament—no just man will charge me that
I was a Red Republican or planning revolution—on the
contrary, I was doing the work of a true man, faithful
to the rights of humanity. But this accusation will
never meet with an echo in the breasts of generous
Englishmen.—(Cheers.) My speech was translated into
German • it was read in the coffee-houses and other
public places, when the news of the French revolution
came upon us, and the whole people started into revolt.
That was the Austrian revolution. I frankly own, with
the knowledge of these events, it was my desire not to
be carried away by the elements, but to take the reins
of the elements into my own hands, and to avail myself
to the utmost of this opportunity which God had given,
not Hungary had made.—(Cheers.) Our first proposi-
tion now was for the emancipation of the peasantry.—
(Loud cheers.) Of course, in the circumstances, it was
carried unanimously in both Houses. But I was anxious
not to hurt the interests of any class, but rather to
spare those which, though they might not be exactly
just in their origin, yet by time, by circumstances, by
the lapse of ages, had got interlaced with private for-
tunes, and I therefore proposed, and it was adopted
unanimously, that the people should be free of all duties
—free without paying for it—for liberty ought not to
be paid for; but that at the same time there should be
an indemnity, not for the peasantry, but for the land-
lords.—(Cheers.) There are ample resources for this in
the land of Hungary, which by good financial operations
might be made to give more than two or three times
what it does now; and I engaged my honour and my
word that a full indemnity should be given, and so the
measure was carried unanimously. The second measure
I proposed was, that, whereas before the poor had every
duty and no rights, now an equality in duties and in
rights should be restored, and that every man, accord-
ing to his fortunes, should be obliged to contribute to the
public necessities.—(Cheers.) This measure was also
carried unanimously. The third measure was, that the
people should have the right of electing, not only the
Members of Parliament, but that they should also elect
the magistrates who were to administer the laws."
Who are the men, we ask, who dare to denounce
any of these three measures as revolutionary ? Surely
no member of that party which acknowledges as its
leader the man who emancipated the negro slaves in
the West Indies, and imposed a burden of 20,000,0001.
on the people of this country, as compensation to the
owners, can venture to denounce KOSSUTH for hav-
ing emancipated the peasantry ; surely those who
advocate financial reform, and who are constantly
exclaiming that they must have protection because
they are unfairly taxed, will not object to KOSSUTH
that he laid down as his rule of government that
every man should, according to his fortune, be
obliged to contribute to the public necessities, and if
he gave to the people the power of electing their
magistrates he merely followed the example which
the Parliament of England had set him when they
carried the Municipal Reform Bill.
Our space will not permit us, on the present occa-
sion to follow him through his masterly exposure of the
Austrian Court intrigues, inspired by the Archduchess
SOPHIA, the mother of the EMPEROR, and the treason of
the Serbs underJeLeacurcir,although we must observe,
en passant , that to those conversant with the secret
history of the Court of Vienna, the appearance of
JELLA CHICH, as Ban of Croatia, in arms
against the Hungarians, was quite sufficient to
prove to the initiated who was the chief of the in-
trigue then at work, and was well understood to be
the forerunner of the deposition of the old Emperor
FERDINAND, and of the inauguration as Emperor of
Austria of the son of the Archduchess SOPHIA)
Faalaz JOSEPH. We cannot, however, forbear from
drawing attention to Kossura's vindication of his
declaration of Hungarian independence, of his depo-
sition of the house of Hapsburg. Never has any
great public act of justice been more completely,
more triumphantly vindicated, and if we are, inclined
to find any fault with KOSSUTH, it is not for publishing
the declaration when he did, but for not having done
it long before : the abdication of the Emperor F.
DINAND had left the throne of Hungary vacant, and
lioesurs would have been amply justified in then de-
claring Hungary independent. He, however, bore
with the treasons of the Austrian house for months
longer, and he did not propose their decheance until
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, by calling in the aid of the
CZAR to crush the liberties of Hungary, had ceased
to be an independent Sovereign, until the house
of Hapsburgh had destroyed itself as a reigning house
of Europe. Asawas justly lied eloquently observed
by Kossuzu, " the house of Hapsburgh as a dynasty
is gone ;it exists no more—it merely vegetates. The
EMPEROR can only act by the whim and will of his
master, the CZAR."
We trust this most eloquent,-and most convincing
speech, which may be regarded as the manifesto of
the Hungarian nation, will be reprinted under the
superintendence of KOSSUTH himself, and circulated
by thousands throughout thelcountry, and we com-
mend it to the attentive study of our readers as the
most important state paper that has appeared for
years.

The Government have not proved inexorable to the
complaints which have been loudly made iu Ireland
in reference to the consolidated annuities. A rumour
which bad been for some days prevalent in that coun-
try has now received a substantial confirmation, and
the case of the most distressed unions has been taken
into favourable consideration by the powers that be•
From all unions which have been charged with a poor
rate of four shillings and upwards during the past
year, the quota of the Government debt will not be
demanded for another year. In cases where rates to the
above-mentioned amount of four shillings have not been
levied, the unions so circumstanced will be called upon
for the amount which constitutes the difference between
the amount of rates for current local charges actually
levied and the maximum of four shillings. This ought
certainly to be received as a satisfactory arrangement,
especially as it may be fairly inferred that should the
same cause for postponement exist next year, or in
any subsequent years, an indulgence of a similar na-
ture will be accorded. The Freeman's Journal, a
usually well-informed authority, announces the arri-
val on Friday in the Irish metropolis of the Treasury
minute, arranging the details of the postponement,
and which may shortly be expected to be published,
This determination has been evidently very recently
arrived at by the Government, for in a letter written
by the Prime Minister's secretary, so late as
Wednesday last, to Sir ROBERT DE BURGO, the
chairman of the great provincial meeting in Munster,
acknowledging the receipt of the memorial of the
guardians of that province, the matter referred to
therein is announced to be " under the eonsideration
of the Government ;" and a letter of similar tenor was
received likewise by the chairman of the Kilkenny
board of guardians in answer to the memorial from
that body. In the case of the latter body the Minis-
terial letter produced the result of postponing the
official act of signing the rate-books for a week,
nor did the spirit which was manifested in the speeches
of the guardians lead to the inference that
the book would be signed even at the
expiration of that term, unless a more satis-
factory reply were received from the Treasury.
I The postponement of the usual signature WAS car-

tied without opposition, although the inconvenience
of its adoption was acknowledged. It is now, how-
ever, to be hoped that the aggrieved functional.' ,es will
take heart of grace, and not obstruct further le pro-

per working of the machinery which is und, !r their
control. Out of the 163 unions into which In Aland is

partitioned under the Poor-law, it may be calculated
that there are about 40 which will, under Vail 3 ar-
rangement, be qualified to claim exemption ftol n the
Treasury in the full from any payment in the i?,:esent
year, and it is probable that about an equal n amber
will not he compelled to contribute many ps rwe to
make up their yearly rate to the magic sum of '" four
shillings," requisite, according to the above state ment
of the forthcoming Minute, to be cc )ntri-
buted by the ratepayers of all ut dons-
It remains to be seen how far this compliance on the
part of theta overnment, which under existing cit.( :um-
stances we cannot but regard as a liberal and juaticious
concession, will succeed in soothing the angry ele-
ments which have been industriously exasperated by
Lord LUGA.N and Co.

A well-abused Member of an Irish constituency, on
whom the vials of wrath were recently poured with
unsparing hand by the " patriots" of Kinsale for his
support of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, has laid aside
his official trammels. Mr. HAwEs has resigned the
Under-Secretaryship of the Colonial department, and
the office thus vacated has been accepted by Mr-
FREDERICK PEEL, the Member for Leominster.
Whether Dlr. HAWES'S resignation has been a vo-
luntary act, induced by a weariness of having to
champion the unpopular proceedings of his chief, or
whether he has been imperiously dismissed, it
is impossible at the moment to determine. A
morning contemporary shrewdly enunciates that he
has been made a scape-goat to carry away the sins
of the Colonial-office from public animadversion, but
we are much mistaken if the step will in the least
better the condition of the chief rock of offence, Earl
GREY. It is he who is popularly and properly re-
garded as the great and real obstacle to a fitting recon-
struction of our colonial relations, and in putting
himself forward in the Lower House as the exponent
and upholder of Lord GREY'S generally ill-judged and
obstinate views of policy, Mr. HAWES exhibited a
faithful devotion to his principal, for which he has
now reaped the usual reward of those who lend them-
selves to do dirty work : when the orange is well,:sucked
the rind is flung away. Nevertheless an easy cushion
has been provided for the ejected Secretary, and he
now reposes as Deputy-Secretary at War in " the
comfortable obscurity of a well-paid and permanent
place," whence he can serenely smile at the dire de-
nunciations of the immaculate electors of his savoury
borough.
The progress of emigration from the Irish shores
goes on with ceaseless, nay, increasing rapidity.
" The cry is, still they go." Flying from their natal
soil to the more plenteous and wealthy shores of
America, myriads of the much-abused Celia
go to swell the ranks of an active and in-
dustrious population. In a land where idle-
ness is unknown the latent energy of
the national character will not fail to be most advanta-
geously developed. Self-reliance and perseverance
being found to be essential in that " go-a-head"
land, we have no hesitation in expressing our full
confidence in the future welfare of the great mas 9
of the Irish emigrants, in whom America will
receive a powerful accession of active spirits,
whose descendants will form a startling contrast to
the semi-civilized condition of their progenitors
in the Emerald Isle. In reference to this continually
augmenting connexion between the sister island and
the great Republic, it gives us great pleasure to ob-
serve, at a recent meeting of the town commis-
sioners in " the city of the Tribes," the chairman
read a most cheering letter from Mr. JOHN J. HUGHES,
of New York, dated the 9th instant, stating that
150,000/. had been subscribed, and four first-class
steamers ready for the grand Transatlantic route from
the New World to the favoured port of Galway, and
that his fellow-citizens now looked to Ireland for its
support and assistance in the completion of the
materials necessary for the arrangement of a
company on a scale commensurate with the
object in question. The Americans have their eyes
on Galway, and look with anxiety to that enter-
prising contractor, Mr. DARG AN, for carrying out
works that will make its harbour complete in
every sense of the word, and render it capable
of receiving vessels of any size or magni-
tude. It is the intention of the authorities there
immediately to set about the necessary arrange-
ments to apply for a Royal charter of incorporation
for a steam-packet company between Galway and
America, and the American people await with
anxiety the proceedings on this side. A reply from
the Mayor of Belfast, addressed to him by the
chairman of the Harbour Commissioners, is
daily expected, and looked forward to with
interest by the Galwegians. Whatever be the port
selected for the establishment of a Transatlantic packet
station, in that, and in every particular wherein the
resources of Ireland can be brought forward to the
promotion of her prosperity, our sincerest wishes are
offered for the welfare of her denizens and children,
wishes more generally entertained on this side of
St. George's Channel than many ignorant or in-
terested individuals on the opposite shore wish to
I make it appear are existent in the English mind.
