THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1861.

If we maintain strictly, as it may be hoped we
shall in the military sense, our non-intervention
policy, we are not likely to forego the pleasure of
Parliamentary intervention. And if our Ministers,
however closely questioned, maintain the most
becoming reserve, there is no such thing as pre-
venting the out-spokenness of unofficial members of
either house. All the Monarchs of Europe must
make up their minds to having their doings dis-
cussed by English M.P.'s, whether they like it or
not. Austria, wise in her generation, secured the
services of the renowned English Radical to plead
her cause here, but even his advocacy has met with
so little favour, that Mr. PEACOCKE and Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, her Whig and Tory well-wishers, found
themselves last night compelled to renounce Mr.
ROEBUCK'S doctrine, that Venetia ought, for the
good of Italy and Europe, to remain in slavery to
Austria. Rather, we should say, that they both
adhered to the opinion they shared before with
most Englishmen, that Venetia was never likely to
be anything but a burden to Austria, to her mili-
tary resources, and therefore to her Ex-
chequer, and hence a source of weakness,
not of strength. The Conservative member for
Maldon, with English good sense, honestly accepted
the view that with Austria in the Quadrilateral,
the King of ITALY would always be the Prefect of
France, but that if it were re-united to Italy, and
the Alps tecame the Southern boundary of Austria,
she would always have a strong independent power
between her and Franca.

Both Mr. PEACOCKS, however, and our Foreign
Secretary appear to long anxiously for a united
Austria, by which they mean that Hungary should
merge itself into one with the little German Arch-
duchy, of which Vienna is the capital, and which
has connected with itself so many other petty
nationalities and provinces. They may wish this,
but can they hope for it by any means which can
make Hungary a source of strength to Austria.
The identity of Hungary and Austria is the favou-
rite dream of our English Statesmen. Lord PAL-
MERSTON in 1848 sacrificed Hungary to it. He re-
fused to recognise her Ambassador; he would know
nothing of her but as an outlying province of the
Archduchy. And the result was the suppression
of Hungarian liberties by Russia; who, emboldened
by security in that quarter, commenced her attacks
on Turkey, and we thus found ourselves chastised
for our injustice to Hungary by the cost and suffer-
ings of the Crimean war. The truth is our states-
men of the old school, both Whig and Tory, are at
war with facts. Hungary is not a part of Austria,
nor can it be made so. It is an old Kingdom, much
larger than the Hereditary States of Austria, and not
far from equalling in population those States, and
all the other provinces, those excepted which have
always formed part of the Hungarian Crown; which
the Vienna Government has made every exertion
to detach from Hungary; which she so successfully
stirred up against her in 1848; but which cheated
and duped, as all have been who have put trust in
the HAPSBURGS, are now seeking their freedom
in reuniting themselves to Hungary.
The relative positions of Hungary and Austria
are, however, now forcing themselves on the atten-
tion of Europe ; and the simple statement of the case ,
is, that Hungary demands what she is entitled to by
history, by law, by treaty, and by the traditions of
a thousand years, while to all this Austria has no-
thing to oppose but force. Hungary demands to
be de facto, what she is notoriously (le
jure, a
kingdom. Austria wants her to be at best
nominally a kingdom, but in fact a province of an
empire. Hungary is willing to abide by.the
Pragmatic Sanction to which the Emperor of
/Venal himself is, most reluctantly we may
be sere,
compelled to appeal as the basis of his
claim to the crown. But the perfidious lIAPs-
BURG would strike out of that treaty all that defines
his obligations 'King of MING.IRY, and retain
only the obligation of the Hungarians to take him
as their King, to "doas he will with his own." It
scorns impossible that the two demands can be com-
promised. Hungary is the most important part of
Of States called the Austrian
that strange mottos'
Empire. Yet the EMPEnoR wishes to merge it in
the province. If there be an Austrian Fnipire, Hun-
gary is its head of gold, and the EMPEROR and his
stolid Germans would fase the whole, the gold,
brass, iron, and clay, and amalgamate them in the
furnace of a Reichsrath and a Vienna Government.
German statesmen see no other means of creating a
strong Austria; bat Hungarians see in them
enslaved Hungary. They are a municipal and
Cr.ns:itutional people by the discipline of centuries.
They know how to manage their own affairs, and
bow to fight for liberty to manage them. They have
sustained for several generations the treacherous
and violent efforts of the Germans of the Arch-
duchy, to cheat them of their independence or to
wregt it from them. Again and again they have
triumphed over chicanery and violence, too; and
they are now regaining their feet after their Over-
