Powers OF Europe. The reported dis
appearance Of Kossuth in England,
together with the increasing fermen, in
Hungary, creates the impression that
another struggle of the Magyar race for
political Independence is approaching.
The recent Protestant depuiation from
Hungary was not received by the Em-
peror, and although to plausible reasons |
were given in excuse, the refusal appears
to have been none the less obnoxious,
and the delegation respond il man
ifesto, in which they declare that Hunga-
ry, being fatigued with Austrian govern
ment, will detach herself from Austria at
the first opportunity, and unite herself
to foreign power, whatever il may be
even were it China. The cause Of
offence lies principally in Austrian in
terference with the internal regulations
of the affairs of tie Protestant Church
in Hungary, including the management
OF schools and the education OF children.
This interference. truly Austrian in
character, is varied and minute, and
therefore always offensive TO n people
> peculiarly sensitive about their social and
municipal rights. From the singular
and, to western ideas, somewhat extrava-
CANT style of demonstrations affected by
the Hungarians, il is difficult to judge
psecisely what degree Of earnestness and
determination inspires the population Of
Hungary in their present attitude Of
hostility to Austria; but nearly all state
/ ments concur in predicting an outbreak,
unless the Austrian policy is changed.
Another rebellion 10 Hungary, occurring
L at this European crisis, would be pro-
Il ductive of the most serious results. The
( Hungary now recognized as an admis-
{ trative division of Austria, occupies 69,-
