Austrian Minister al Paris has received orders from Vienna
10 extend the pardon TO the Hungarian refugees
who shall publicly assa Kossuh and that these orders ex

pardon he OF course receives back his large estates which
had been confscated This is cited to explain the Counts

whom Kossuh proposed for President Of Hungary 1t would
