The following statistical summary of the races and
population of Hungary, by far the most complett
and concise we have seen, is taken from the WeSt
minister Revte,o of July. -:A = sEEs5 .
Hungary, but comprising many nationalites, is thai
large tract of country included in the Austrian domin
ions, extending from the Carpathian mountains, on
the north of the Gulf of Quarnero the Adria tic
and the Turkish frontier; longitudinay, 1t extends
from the Austrian boundary line of Moravia, Lower
Austria, Styria, and Ilyra the west eastward tc

flood. Nature has been prodigal in the gifts of a
rich soil, and of climate favorable to all productions
necessary for the sustentation of man. is coun-
try prolific in and wine the broad plains afford
luxurant pasturage for the ocks, and the moutai
yield mineral treasures of boundess extent In the
admirable distribution of Providence, the richer soils
of the plain yield more than enough of the staff of
life to supply the deficiencies of those mountain re-
gons which contribute minerals to the national wealth.
Hungary is copiousy watered by noble rivers. The
Danube flows through the heart of the country |;
and the Thiess, the Drave the Save, and waters of
lesser magnitude, give breadth to Dumas mighty
flood. The superficial magnitude of the country is
estimated at nearly 88 600 square miles.

ry proper, Sclavonia, Croatia Pennsylvania and the
Granz Comiates, or military frontier 1t is subdi-
