THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1881

The Emperor , of AIISTRTA'S Message to the
Reichsrath is now before us in full ; a contempo-
rary's correspondent who witnessed its indignant
reception at the National Club or Casino in Pesth
characterises it very briefly :—" .Nearly every lime
(tie says) is a lie." Pretty well that of an Imperial
document ; he declares, however, " that a falser or
more treacherous document could hardly have been
devised." . And he looks at it as a " provocation
which will put to the proof all the predetermined
patience and forbearance of the Hungarians." The
Vienna Reichsrath was of course subservient enough,
though even there a voice or two was lifted up to
point out the wrong done to Hungary; the majority,
however,wcro very well content that their decisions,
in the absence of nearly half the members who
should compose the assembly, were to be law for
the whole empire—Hungary, Croatia, and Transyl-
vania included. The Hungarians, however, will
see to that. Enforced, the Imperial edicts registered
by the Imperial Reichsrath may be ; obeyed, in
Hungary they never will be. The conceit of the
Germans will be met by the freeborn spirit of the
high-souled Hungarians ; and though taxes may
be trampled out of freemen, they will not be paid
by them.

We shall probably before long have some com-
petent Hungarian comment on this audacious
document; meantime, even we, here in England

can perceive

etearly that _touch of it is

what the correspondent referred to says—" Nearly
every line a lie." A lie told too to an authority
which the Hungarians refuse to acknowledge, and
told. audaciously in the face of Euror e. Let us
notice a few of the more obvious Imperial lies.
Tho very first paragraph is a web and tissue of lies
—with one exception—" the profound grief of his
MAJESTY," The " ancient institutions" of Hun-
gary are not "re-established"—the Diet being dis-
solved for insisting on their establishment; and the
attempt being made to enforce on Hungary a per-
fectly new institution soalch annihilates all the
glory and value of the ancient ones.. The country
is not in an " intolerable condition," except as the
foreign, that is, Austrian troops, make many a Hun-
garian's life almost intolerable. The country is
able to get out of its difficulties, such, as they are, by
" its own efforts," Indeed it only demands to
be allowed to 'ise its own efforts, and
that the Imperial efforts which cause all the
difficulties, should be withdrawn. There is no
" lamentable mistrust" no mistrust at all except
of Austria, and lamentable will it be for
the Hungarians, if they should cease to mise
trust her. ." Confidence in the administration
of justice" is not " shaken.:" but there can be no•
confidence in Austrian injustice. " Anarchy" there
is none. The order is as perfect as it was in the
Italian Duchies. The only anarchy, in the literal•
and etymological sense of the word, is that of the ,
Austrian civil and military interlopers in the
country, who, by order from Vienna, overturn law-
ful rule in the country, and substitute for it
Imperial lawlessness. The "protestations against
the decrees of the Government" do not " enervate
the moral strength of the pleople ; on the contrary,
they aid in, bracing them to a national quiet heroism
which makes them the admiration of all Europe, save
the Vienna Canaarilla ; and we believe that even
those_ selfish tyrants are compelled in their inmost
hearts to admire the nation which all their politi-
cal and military torturinee
s cannot induce to sur-
render theirforefather's bequests and their children's
rightful inheritance.
Thus ranch of the first paragraph • and there is
not one probably on which. '
which every Hungarian could
not comment in similar
style. What more irritating
than the second porag„ph.
It is based on "pardon-
ing " the Hungarians for abolishing the dynasty in
1849. , The Hungarians will retort ; the
dynasty needs our pardon for the unexampled
treachery which compelled us. to
he
it; and
for the worse treachery and treason, if worse be
possible, which, after 7e had routed Wistizsz
GRATZ, called in the R ussian arms to overwhelm
us by numbers, The pan graph speaks of our being
" brought back to our (It ity by force of arms"—ye„,
the Hungarian will bii.terly reply :when your
arms could not force us back beneath the rule of
