VIENNA, JULY 2.

The imperial rescript to the Hungarian Diet was
read to-day in the Upper House of the Council of
the Empire, and was received with great enthu-

siasm.

Count Clam Galas proposed that the house should
declare that it considered any violation of the im-
perial dignity and rights as an attack against the
whole monarchy, and that the Government could
not only reckon on the concurrence and devotion of
the house, but also on the active co-operation of the
whole empire.
The proposal was received with cheers.
The following are somewhat fuller details of
what passed in the Chamber of Deputies at Vienna,
on the 2d inst.

It was by order of the Emperor that M. de
Schmerling communicated the tenour of the Impe-
rial rescript relating to the Hungarian Diet. The
Emperor, says the rescript, has learnt with regret
the decisions of the Diet relative to his sovereign
rights, as also the attacks against his incontestable
and legitimate rights in his quality of hereditary
King of Hungary. Nevertheless, the Emperor
considers those discussions rather as the result
of individual aberrations than the real expres-
sion of the sentiments of the Diet. But as
those views have been expressed in the address the
Emperor holds it his duty to decline receiving
it, as wanting in respect to his person. His
Majesty, nevertheless, being desirous of pronounc-
ing himself without reserve on the important
questions contained in the address, has invited the
Diet to draw it up in a form compatible with the
dignity of the Crown and those hereditary rights
which the Emperor will know how to defend
against any attack. The Government hopes, said
M. de Schmerling, that after this communication
there will soon be a solution of this important
question.
