THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 25, ISCI

Our readers will not wish to let Hungary slip
out of their sight. Americans, who occupy so
much attention, share, indeed, our language and
our blood, but we believe it is the truth that the
Hungarians share rather more of our political tem-
perament than do our transatlantic descendants.
Hungary is a Constitutional Monarchy. She loves
that form of Government as ardently as we do.
She cherishes like us the memory of a long Consti-
tutional history ; and the present struggle is, simply
and solely, to preserve intact, tb,pugh with the im-
provements made in 1848 with the sanction of FER-
DINAND, the Constitution under which she has
lived for more than a thousand years. She exhibits
in this struggle all the law of love and order, all
the respectful demeanour towards a Sovereign in the
hands of bad advisers, and all that attach-
mcnt to the forms of Constitutional pro-
cedure, which distinguish Englishmen. With
such a nation England must sympathise ; and
we are glad the Hungarians have had an opportu-
nity of seeing that we do. Much as we regret, for
his own sake, the Austrian eccentricities of Mr.
ROEBUCK, his reception at home has shown to Hun-
gary that we are all on her side.

Even the old Tory papers of this country, greatly
to their credit, refuse to sanction the revolutionary
conduct of the EMPEROR, and stand by the Hun-
garians as true Conservatives. Some Tories here,
perhaps most in the highest circles, would like to
see a fusion of Hungary with the rest of the Aus-
trian dominions; but even they disapprove such
pounding of all into one mass as the SCHMERLING
Cabinet is attempting. It is a voluntary fusion
which our Tories desire ; and they have the sense,
and the political experience—taught by the union
which makes the British Isles—to assure them
that the way to an effective union is not the
coercion of the Hungarian Parliament. They see
with dismay a Sovereign professing to be consti-
tutional, dictating to the Parliament of the people
what it shall do, and withholding those rights
which it has always enjoyed, and which Tories and
Whigs here, quite as much as Radicals, deem fun-
davaentel—the right to vote troops and supplies.
Well, the Diet is dismissed, and
another is to
be chosen. And here begins another chapter of
Royal Revolution. The Comitats, or county
Parliaments in Hungary, are very
efficient
municipal bodies ; they immediately commenced
voting resolutions approving the Diet's proceedings
and immediately they, too, are forcibly dismissed ;
and the business they should transact is ordered to
be done by arbitrarily nominated Royal Commie-
sioncrs ! An utterly illegal proceeding. It was
once before attempted for ten years by the liberal
despot JosErn 11., who was never crowned King
of HUNGARY, and who WQS compelled to the
bitterly mortifying act of repealing everything he
had done during the ten years ; treating the whole
period as a nullity in legislation. The descen-
dants of those who accepted commissons under
JOSEPH are, it is said, to this day held in
odium in Hungary, and can only redeem
their character by acts of special patriotism.
Hence FRANCIS JOSEPH finds it impossible to
get liqngarianl.4 of position and character to ec-
cept an office which will make them and their
children objects
of hatred to their fellow-coun-
trymen.

To estimate the bitterness (a correspondent
