Long as this synopsis is, we copy it
entire, in order that our readers may see
what are the pretenses now set up in be-
half of Austria by her freshest American
champion. The facts which upset these
pretenses are already familiar to most of
our readers, and we can make room only
for the briefest restatement of the more
important among them. We follow The
Courier's numbering and comment on its
various assertions as follows:
/. The great measures of Reform adopt
ed by the Hungarian Diet in March, l848,
and approved by the then Austrian Empe-
Tor, had all been advocated by KOSsuth
and the steadily growing National party
for gears before 1915, and were all debated
and matured by the Diet before " the Rev
olution in Vienna which drove Mettemich
from power"
?. Hungary was not, cOnstitutionally and
legally, "a dependency of Austria" but
distinct, independent kingdom, which for
the last three centuries has chosen a success
sion of Austrian Princes for its Kings, in
accordance with its ancient Constitution
