FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.
The Marquis de Moustier will leave Paris :for
Vienna probably to-morrow. Some journals have
stated M. Tavel would leave France on a special
mission for Italy ; but nothing is known of such a

mission in the diplomatic world.
We are told that the Cabinet of Vienna, when
inviting the Powers to meet in Congress, sent at the
same time a memorandum which explains on what
terms the Austrian Cabinet would despatch Envoys
to the Congress. The main object of this meinoran-
dum, I am told, was to protest against the nomina-
tion of M. Buoncompagni as pro-Regent of Central

Italy.
The agitation at present prevailing in Hungary
suggests to the Siecle some considerations which
are not without interest. The writer explains in
the following terms the causes of the movement
which has set in so strongly :—" Four important
circumstances contribute to embitter the feeling of

Hungary at the want of franchises and liberty to
which she is at present condemned. As we have
already said, she has not been conquered. Of Aus-
tria, properly so called, and of Hungary, if one was
compelled to conquer the other, nature and force
would be in favour of the latter. Hungary has
constantly aided the power which now op-
presses her as an indefatigable arm assists the
head. The Hungarian, in his oppression, enume-
rates all the services which he has rendered to
Austria since the time of Ferdinand 1., all the battles
in which he has shed his blood. all the sieges which
he has maintained for the House of Hapsburg, and
all the gold which he has given to it. He has fought
for Austria against the Turks, the Poles, the Rus-
sians, and the Germans, and against Prussia, Italy,
and France. He saved her under Maria-Theresa,
and has on several other occasions relieved her from
embarrassments of various kinds. History proves
the fact ! The second circumstance which renders
the mourning of the Hungarians deeper is their
superiority. A weak nation must support what it
cannot overcome, but with 10, 12, or 14 millions of
souls, it becomes a force which must be taken into
account. The third circumstance, of which we have
spoken ,arises from the little time which has elapsed
since the fall of Hungarian liberties and from their
very antiquity. was free during centuries,'
Hungary still says, ' and it is only during a few
years that I have not been so. The confiscation
of those liberties is evidently only an unfortu-
tunate incident in my history: I was not born to
obey ; I have commanded, and until yesterday have
been free. What reasons are there to prevent my
again becoming so ? Are there any treaties against
me ? Is there any historical condemnation ? No ;
the chance of war has done the whole.' The fourth
circumstance which swells the heart of Hungary,
arises from the recent triumph of Italy. If the
Hungarians had been told that the Italians would
have been free before them, they would not have
believed it. They remember what took place at the
Diet of Presburg, by which the revolution of Hun-
gary was preceded. Hungary was then the hope
and the beacon of the nations subjected to the
Austrian sceptre."
