THE WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA
AND HUNGARY,

ltE w AR BETWEEN AUSTRIA
AND HUNGARY.
The Boston Post in an article on the
subject, gives very clear statement of
the condition of affairs and the object of
the contest. AT first it was a war of races
the outrageous demand of Austria went
far to turn it to a national war, and some
OF those who were fighting against each
other turned their common arms against
the common enemy. Austria demands
that Hungary, even to the sacrifice of its
ancient independence, shall be incorpora-
ted into the Austrian monarchy. Hun
gary demands that lerindependence shall
be recognized Kossuth, Georgy, BEN
and Dembrinski, the Hungarian comman-
dcrs have agreed upon the following
terms, for which they contend :-Albany
AtioS.
1. The recognition of the kingdom of
Hungary in its ancient limits, including
Croatia, Sclnvonia, and the military boun-
daries.
2. Union with Pennsylvania as decided
upon by the Hungarian diet at its sitting
last year. 5a
8. General amnesty for the whole of
Austria, the immediate release of the Oc-
tober prisoners, and indemnities to the
families of those who were murdered.
4. Transmission of the Hungarian regi-
ments serving in italy and elsewhere
throughout the empire to Hungary.
3. Recognition of the Hungarian con-
stitution of 1849.
9. Hungary shall remain under the
government OF provisional executive ad-
ministration, elected from among the diet,
until the hereditary succession shall have
been legally restored, and the king who
shall have been elected shall be crowned
at Buda Pesth, and sworn to the consti-
tuition.
q Galicia shall stand in the same rcla-
ton to the Austrian federal state as that
In which Hungary now stands, and will
stand under the name of the Polish king
dom OF Galicia it will, therefore be link
ed to Austria only by personal union, hav-
ing its own army and its own finances.
8. The participation of Hungary in the
Austrian national debt shall be decided
by the Hungarian diet by majority.
The Hungarians, who are composed of
Magyars, Poles, French generals, and va
llous races, are carrying everything be-
fore them. They have cleared their coun-
try OF the enemy. But this is not the
best of the news of their condition. Troops
are flocldng to Kossuth's army from ev-
cry quarter. When Pesth was taken pos
session Of by them, they were received
with frantic enthusiasm. Crowds of young.
men hastened to enrol themselves. 9th
or places were equally prompt, ezghere is
one spirit pervading the country the two
towns of Szegedin and Ketskemet sent
SIX thousand horserhen to Che army, and
their cavalry is the most splendid ever
gathered, it is said.--~Kossuth is more in
need of arms than of men.--It is difficult
however, to find a clear account of his
strength, 1t was above one hundred
thousand made up of the finest troops in
Europe, aIa under officers who have well
displayed their skill and bravery. 1t is
constantly Increasing Their victories have
been great and decisive.
The next news from Hungary, now the
great battle ground of Europe, will be OF
absorbing interest. VIII the Magyays,

They are we'll commanded, brave, united,
inspired by a spirit of freedom, and fight

tria become Ccssack? Will those who
are struggling in the same cause of ma
tionality see the autocrat stiiie this spirit
in Hungary? Will not Austria, after
striking down Hungary, strike down tile Iii

tionality? Well does the London Times
say "itis scarcely possible to overrate the
importance Of these events
