The government of the duchess commenced
in 1850 No sooner had she arrived than COM
plants were poured in upon her against the
lnquisition, Cardinal Granvele, and the new
bishoprics. The duchess employed fair words
to allay the ferment, but without success At
the head of the malcontents were the Prince of
Orange, Count Egmont and Count Horn, who
strenuously insisted upon calling Council of
the States General, that the grievances of which
the people complained might be laid before
them Such was the menacing condition of
affairs, that in 1864 the cardinal was obliged
to resign his office; but this was only change
of evil for evil, for he was succeeded by two of
his own creatures, Barliamont and Viglius, who
followed exactly his course. They pushed on the
lnquisition to fresh executions, stigmatized the
principal nobility as heretics, and on all occa-
sions showed such bigoted zeal that one of
Philips ministers represented to him the peril
there was of q total revolt of the provinces.
But Philip replied "that he had rather be with
out subjects than be king of heretics." In
conformity to this sentiment all the obnoxious
dccrees were enforced with double rigor The
state of affairs which ensued induced the sending
of Count Egmont into Spain in order to have a
personal interview on the subject with the king
Philip, versed in treacherous arts, gave
smooth answer, such as kings have repeatedly
done in the recent revolutions in Europe, and
ordered the Governante to consult sometimes
with the Prince Of Orange. BY this means
tranquility was for a time restored; but the
secret Vaccinations of the royal and eccesias-
tical tyrants were busly at work. In the year
1866 scheme was discovered for the total ex-
tirpation of the Protestants. 1t had been con-
mother Of France, her son Charles IX, King of
France, and Isabella, Queen of Spain, in q con-
ference at Bayonne This threw all things
again into flame. That the information re-
specting this plot was true, soon appeared, from
Philips disclaiming oil the favorable interpre-
tations which had been put upon his answer to
Count Egmont, and from his aiding the Inquisi-
tion to proceed with more fury than ever The
consequence was, general association against
this abominable tribunal. The confederates
waited upon the Duchess of Parma, but failed,
obtaining nothing but promises and representa-
tions from her to her brother-all, probably
that he gave her power to do. The king him
self returned an equiyocal answer, which was
evidently not intended to be kept.
A SUMNER VIEW OF New BuDA tie aafe,aqed
residence Of Kossmh-The Hungarian settle
ment, under Governor ujhazy, is situated in
the southwestern part of Iowa, in the county
of Decatur, at a distance of about one hundred
and fifty miles from the Mississippi river, one
hundred miles from Missouri, and about ten
miles north of the boundary line of the States
of Iowa and Missouri. The aspect of the
country presents ridges of gentle elevation,
narrow rayines, and occasionally widespread
valleys, all covered with rich SOIL varying
from one to three feet deep, which displays its
fruitfulness in the abundant production of grass,
of fruits, and flowers. The Thompson river,
about fifty yards in width, but too shallow for
navigable purposes, winds slowly through De-
catur county in southwestern direction, on its
way to the Missouri. Its course is lined by q
heavy body Of timber, from one to three miles
wide, consisting chiefly of sugar maple, black
walnut, white oak, and elm.
On high, timbered ridge, on the left bank
of this river, stands New Buda, the residence of
Gov. Ujhazy, and the intended abode of Kos
Suhh. ~ tHl5 pOlnb IuC IlHlDCT tAleUNS only n
short distance from the river, and diverginc
circuitously to the north and southeast, en-
braces an extensive open meadow covered with
luxuriant grass, and crowned with multitude
of flowers, whose varied hues and brilliant
colors increase the loveliness Of the scene.
Viewed from the residence Of the Governor it
seems one of the brightest pictures of nature
its glowing beauties chastened and heightened
by the surrounding gloom Of the forest From
the same place, through the foliage of the trees,
the Thompson river may be seen gliding along
the home Of focks of wild-fowl, and the resort
Of troops of deer, which visit it to slake their
thirst or cool themselves in its waters.
The dwelling is log cabin, about fifty feet
in length, twenty in width, one story high, with
a shinge roof. The interior is divided into
three compartments, and has floor formed out
Of logs, split--the fat sides smoothed and
placed uppermost. One of these apartments,
as is common in the Western country, is used
for kitchen, dining and bedroom A mod
ern cooking-stove stands near the fireplace; and
opposite, on shelves and wall, cooking utensils
and table furniture are neatly arranged At
the other end of the room two single beds are
placed, elegantly furnished, the snowy white of
their linen contrasting with the vivid hues of
their oriental covers. A table stands near q
window, loaded with books, documents, and
newspapers Maps are displayed on the walls
and overhead is placed collection Of guns,
pistols, swords, and scimetars of the best ma
terial, the most skilful construction, and su-
perbly ornamented. But most conspicuous of

on those who lost wealth, exalted rank, endeared
society, md a beloved country, in hapless
struggle.
In front Of the dwelling field containing
about twenty acres is cleared, fenced and under
cultivation. flock of sheep, selected for their
superior wool-growing qualities, feed in the

Of cows and several horses are scattered; every !
