The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-02-20
From the N. Y. Times.


The Imperial DEGREES Of December 81, abol-
ishing the last vestiges Of liberty throughout
Austria, were understood to be particularly lev
eled at Hungary The reception they might
meet with there has consequently been the sub
Ject of much speculation. Our dates, however,
are not late enough to inform US Of the popular
temper on'.the subject. The PeSti Napl0 gives
us TO understand that the measure was not an
ticipated. The coup d etet at Paris is doubt
less responsible for the precipitaney. From the
NaPtO we disgest the following inter esting
items, indicative Of the state Of affairs in Hun
gary.
The energetic act" Of December.2d, created
intense excitement throughout the Kingdom
Newspapers were and still are watched with un-
precedented anxiety, to gather the probable
meaning and tendency Of the measure
Government finds itself embarrassed at every
step in enforcing its DEGREES. The tax upon
wine is very generally resisted, and extracted
only by military aid. Some Of the provinces,
too, refuse to buy tobacco, because it is gov
ernment monopoly, and put all manner Of herbs
and leaves into their pipe and smoke them.
The military levy for 1852, has a singularly
happy effect in promoting mstTimOny. As mar
Tied men are exempted, all the boys and bache-
lors that can find them have taken wives Thus
not only funds, but fighters, threaten to run
short
The price Of food has increased beyond al
precedent The one article salt has advanced
$50 per cent and is but type Of the other ne
cessaries Of life. So great is the destitution in
the counties of Presburg ald Cas- ovis, that the
ArChdnke Albert has been obliged to feed the
disbanded soldiery with the same rations as be-
fore their discharge.
The newspaper tariff for 1852 has been issu-
ed. Prohibited journals can only be admitted
upon an order Of a member of the reigniDE
family, or Of the Ministry. The tariff informs
us that the whole number of newspapers ana
political periodicals published in Austria En-
pire is ninety.three OF these 46 are German,
81 Italian, Sclovach 3 Polish 3 Hungarian
2 Ruten, | Sclavonian, Cotian, l Illyrican
There are besides one hundred and forty-fiVe
non political periodicals. of which IA are Ger
man 5 Hungarian, 9 Ruten, l Sclavoniau,
Croatian, Illyrcan, &c. In all 238 From
this it would seem that Hungary is not repre-.
sented by the press in fair proportion to the
number and intelligence Of its population.
Talking Of newspapers, an order was issued
by the Hungarian Government, on the 9th
December, that no paper shall insert a single
line directly Or indirectly referring to Kossuth
and the emigration. 1t is very clear from this
that the Austriaus know very well whence their
true grounds for apprehension should be plac-
ed.
In the Waiwodina, the German has been es-
tablished as the judicial language. Some of the
proceedings, however, are allowed to be in the
Servian dialect.
A fearful disease among the cattle partially
accounts for the national starvation. The agri-
cultural interest, too, satfers from the same
cause as oxen were the main dependence of the
farmer for hauling plowing, and other rural la
Dor. Horses have consequently experienced an
enormous alvance in price, since the revolution
Of 1883.
The Cholera has made its appearance in
the County Of Lipto. 1t is remarked that
it broke out in the very dwelling house in
Palugya, where the first victim fell in 1881.
The Danube Steam Navigation Company
carried on its boats during the past year, 253 :
O5l persons obtaining a revenue Of 4 058 ,0S2
flOrins.
The Archduke Albert labors anxiously to
quiet popu ar discomfort. He has Just ordered
the erection Of a splendid National Hnngar-
ian Thatre at Debretzin
Rosa Landor, one If the military leaders in
the revolution, has maintained guerrilla warfare
with the government troops ever since. His
headquarters are in the ueighborhood Of To-
Disco. The Honveds, anxious to avoid Austrian
service, have gathered about him in large mum.
bers and each day adds to his strength, and pro-
duces new feats Of courage aud daring. His
lightning like rapidity strikes terror to the
Austrian gendarmerie and solCiers who are the
special objects Of his vengenCe. Families de-
voted to the Austrian interest arc constantly ex-
posed to plunder, and their plantations TO des-
truction. Their forced contributions support
this little army. This chivalrous band will
probably form the nucleus of the great move
ment now in preparation.
A letter from Vienna, Of January 9, says that
the famous Col. May, commander Of the Hun
garian artillery at Comorn during the siege, re-
Gently committed suicide at COnstantinople.-
He was 10 prison at the time, upon charge of
melting insurrection among bis fellow refuges.
The mode of the death be choose was terrible.
Wrapping himself in the bed -clotes, he set fire
to them, and was literally burnt alive.
Pennsylvania is groaning under the admins
tratiUn Of Austrian officers, who knew nothing
of the language character, orneeds Of the peo-
pie. The Gazette contains a long list of capi-
tal sentences passed upon officers for the crime
of high treason. Death by the rope, and con-
fiscation Of property, was the verdict in each
case. Imprisonment in fortress was the pc.
nalty inflicted in some Of the cases; others were
pardontd The names of forty three more indi-
viduals convicted of concealing arms, also ap-
pears. lhe population of the province accord
ing to the latest returns, consists Of 1925
males, and ,035 26l females-in all 206l,-
