THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1661.

Once more the Hungarians have nobly done their
work. They are engaged in a battle of the pen, it
is true ; but it is a battle which they would most
assuredly be as willing to fight with their swords,
were that the surer way to success, and had not
their perfidious and timid oppressor taken the same
precautions as the Philistines did of old with the
children of Israel. But the time is not lost. Hun-
gary appeals, in fact, to the public opinion of
Europe ; the favourable verdict of that opinion can
be gained only by such a persistent appeal as shall
compel all who attend to European politics at all
to understand clearly the points at issue between
Hungary and the German Camarilla, which advises
the EMPEROR, and is so doggedly plotting against
the liberties of his kingdom. These selfish and
ambitious men see plainly enough that their
Monarch might be a greater and stronger Prince
than he now is, by ruling over a contented and loyal
Hungary, and also over his other domains. But
great would be the fall of SCIIMERLING and RECII-
BERG. They would be Ministers immediately but
of the Archduchy and the States which consented
to cast in their lot with it. A responsible
Hungarian Ministry would strengthen their
master's crown, but it would kick the Ger-
man intermeddlers out of the comparatively huge
kingdom which they endeavour in their military
mortar to pound and grind into one with their own
slice of Germany. This must be the reason which
makes German Ministers even more dogged in their
antagonism to Hungarian rights, than very probable
testimony reports of the Hapsburg himself. Even
half-witted imperial despots have moments, per-
haps hours, of rational perceptions ; and when
FRaNcis JOSEPH'S mind happens to be lucid
and reflective, he must feel that he i:, no gainer by
being cheated out of a willing and loyal kingdom,
and being presented by his Ministers in return with
one kept down only by illegal violence; and one cer-
tain to be more formidable than any invading army,
should such a very possible calamity befal him.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA and King of HUNGARY
has every inducement to prefer the certain result
of legal government in Hungary to the more than
doubtful hazard of attempts to convert Hungary
into a province. Nothing could he do more for his
own advantage than to summon M. DEAK to his
councils as his responsible adviser on Hungarian

Dot mere assertion.

We recently received, by telegram, the infor-
mat ion that the Lower House had voted M. DEAK'S
reply unanimously ; soon after that, on the
proposition of one of their number, the Hun-
garian House of Lords had voted it by
acclamation lirc have now received from at,
eve-witness an account of the manner in which
M. BEAK, and his address to the EMPEROR in
reply to the Viennese rescript was received by
the Lower House. The whole thing is probably
unique in the history of constitutionalism, but it
is worthy of the best days of English Parlia-
ments in their struggles for constitutional
rights ; of course the Magyar is a more
excitable being than the Englishman, but
he has also much of our political strong
sanse, and of our love for maintaining constitutional
rights and introducing reforms by legal means only.
The EMPEROR'S Itescript was a pamphlet, and as
replies must occupy more space than the false
statements answered, M. DEAR'S paper was so long
that it took two hours and a half to read over
rapidly. Yet throughout, the attention was closely
sustained, and d eers were the only interruption.
Seven-eigths of it were a careful and minute
refutation of the Rescript. It was an uncompro-
mising assertion, accompanied by full evidence, of
the Rights of Hungary. When he sat down the
whole chamber rose to its feet, shouting its " El-
