I'M this contact with so many classes OF men,
that afterward learned that these men, though
belonging to the highest nobility OF Hungary,
were nearly all of that party of the magnates
who have always done least credit to their coun-
try Men OF immense wealth, but desplsing
their people, and squanderng their fortunes at
the Court of Vienna, or in Paris. They took no
part IN the Revolution, and never cared anything
for Hungary, except for the rents they could
squeeze from their tenants and the studs they
could collect on their estates. They have before
this been satisfied with the smiles OF the Court,
but now. when everything Hungarian meets
with g. the cold shoulder at Vienna, they have
come back to Hungary quite as disconnected as
the rest Of their cOuntrymen. 1t Is such PRIV
ileeed droneS as these that are always the weight
upon any country They meet with little re-
spect in Hungary and, even with all Their
wealth, have very slight influence indeed over
the people.
