Hungarian Struggle.
The following extracts from tho sddfess of the
Hungarian representative at Paris, to the Minister
Of Foreign Attain Of the French Republic, pre-.
SCENTS The position Of Hungary 10 very strong
light: fsf4 re+g - fen.l 80 :
l., The legal nghg of Hungary. Hungary has
ever been lndePeldeut Of Austria. Ferdinand |,
NE Inst prince Of the house Of Austria that ever
tteIgsed IN Hungary, received the crown IN 1926.
IN accordance with an election by abe Diet. lie
'wore 10 maintain the constitution aud independ-
ence Of Hungary. Al his ncctssors took the
sane oath. The crown ot HnngsTY hrst became
hereditary In the house OF Hlp-huIgh IN virtue OF
The Pragmatic Sanction. passed by the estates OF
Hungary in 1857. In IT'S This settlement was ex
tended by the Hungarian Diet 10 the FINALE line
Of The house OF haPsbnsh Second Pragmatic
Sanction1 But the independence OF Hungary was
maintained and guaranteed NOT lens by these very
acts than by the osihs OF MI the kiags of the house
OF tlspsouIgh L. rraine, even down to our own
days. by article 10 OF the year i79O the Emperor
King Leopold ii. recognised Hungary a free and
independent state ia It's whole legislative and ad.
ministTauye system. Hence the article of the
year lSi6, by which parliamentary government
was seiled in Hungary, introduced no change in
us relations 10 Austria. This law was no IN re
than development of all the foregoing laws. Ii
was passs by unanimous vote of the Two houses
IN the Hung arian diet, and was formally sanction
ell by the king, Fefdinano V.
AL that we demanded OF the house Of Austria
was that our chatter should henceforwaTd be a
truth; our demands did not 60 che step beyond
what had been guaranteed 10 as 10 succession by
a our kings. -nr -.. :
2. Conduct of the house of Austria.-The h0use
OF Austria has broken all her engagements with
Hungary, from the moment when, in consequence
OF her victory over the army of Charles Albert in
July, she ielt herself sIong enough 10 venture H.
She put IN force every means which could lead 10
her end Of oveTthIowIng the Hungarian eonsritu.
ton, and incorporating Hungary IN hez. Austrian
monarchy.
She publicly preached revolt abroad; she raised
up national hatIeds among uss she ex oiled men 10
pillage, 10 barn, 10 GsuIdsI; she weakened the en-
nifty OF The Poot against The Tich she offered the
hand of friendship 10 all our enemies; she deere ed
The PARTITION OF hupsmyinto nnueTons Provinces;
che launched armies against us, snd declared all
those 10 be rebels who Itmained faithful 10 their
county and its laws. Lust OF ALL she, has called
IN Russia 10 her aid, and has thus caused her own
states 10 De invaded by The most dangerous Of her
own rivals. 'rt't.E st...l'.
IL is, therefore, 10 the exercise of legal right
that the Hungarian diet has cecIeed the 5edHcs
OF the house Of hApsburg Lorraine, which has
shown Itself the most b,llef enemy of our country
leel an intimate conviction that Europe, Thai
France, ought TO take an interest IN ue.
For we ale at once The champions of freedom
and OF legal order; we are The defenders OF good
snd OF society; and II Is the house OF Austria
which, in reference 10 as and 10 DUR constitution
legally guaranteed, is in the state of rebellion.
8. Hungary Is The champion OF ciyllsatIon.--
THIS Russian Intervention Is totally adverse 10 the
interests OF the whole Of Europe. Austria has al
ways been looked upon as ths proper bulwafk OF
Europe against Russia. But th,s intervention is

CINE that Russia marches her armies, and perlls
bel finances, with the suie object OF setting up a
barrier against herself. Her intervention, lheTe.
fore, will be nothing bu. means of sublugating

the real intentions OF X Issia with regard 10 the
Sceyic populations Of the Austrian empire. The
Russian autoerst Hlready looks upon himself ia
the light OF theU legitimate sovereign. Hence,
when she has succeeded IN reconstruc,ins Austria
after her own fashion, Russia will have pushed
