MORNING J.. MARCH 9, 1850.
Affairs Of Hungary.
Matters seem to be rapidly approaching
crisis In Hungary, and the probability Is, that
before the spring shall have ended. the whole
population will be in arms against the House
Of Hapsburs II 10 well known that every
man IL tina. country. except few ofhcials, Is
opposed to the domination Of Austria, and
that nothing keeps the people from asserting
their independence but Austrian hayonets.-
1t is doubtful how long even Austrian bayo-
nets will - able to keep down the spirit Of
revolt evidently unanimous among all classes
At best, the Magyars hear the rule Of the
Haps0urgs with sufficient impatience; but
the present Emperor. BY forcing religious
quarrel upon them, has rendered their rule
even more intolerable than it otherwise might
have been.
To all appearances, the chances Of success
are better now than they were in 1915. Even
then Hungary would have shaken on the
yoke, had 1t not been fastened by Russia at
the very time it was about to fall. 1t is hardly
probable that Russia will interfere second
of the Austrian Court for the important favor
che conferred upon the Hapsburgs in saving the
monarchy from destr uction. When she was
struggling In the Crimea, Austria offered her
no assistance The probability is, that she will
retaiiate now by allowing Austria to fight her
own battles in her own way. Even were she
disposed TO lend her helping hand, there are
dific ulties in the way, which she is too wise
unA Ero, ni..o
tho right of every people to choose their own
form Of government, and in obedience to this
maxim the Emperor of the French took up
arms against Austria one year ago. II left to
themselves, there can be no doubt AS to which
party will be successful. The Hungarians
are among the bravest people in Europe. Their
soldiers are the best in the motley army
Of Austria. Deprived OF them, and Of the
italian troops, Austria is nothing. She will
not dare to bring the Italian troops to fight
against Hungary, and tho Hungarians in her
army, will not fight against their country
men. Let all hands stand of, aud Hungary
will soon be independent.
JOHN BULL is welded to the belief that no
country in which the population does not
drink beer and eat beefs steaks, and which has
neither a chop-house nor a House Of Lords,
is fit to govern itself When the Italian war
was on the point Of breaking out last year, in
Vulnerable writers in magazines and newspa-
pers, proved, greatly to their own satisfaction,
that liberty would be a gift to the4talians
more fatal than the box Of PANDORA to the
children Of men. 1t was to be productive of
every imaginable i'll that could spring out of
the worst possible anarchy. The most strik-
ing feature OF these doctrines was that each
writer proved what he said to be true by
tnnumerable examples drawn from the annals
OF all the Italian States, thereby proving, be-
yond question, that the famous dicsMm 'history
is philosophy teaching by example," is not Il
particle more true than any other specious So
phism by which mankind may at any time
have been deceived. For the Italians not only
proved themselves competent to the manage
ment Of their own affairs, but more competent
than any other people in Europe that had
ever taken their affairs out Of the hands of
tyrannical and incompetent rulers.
Now, SO far as We know, the Hungarians
have none Of those accessories which are re-
Corded by Mr.. BULL as necessary to the proper
understanding Of An art SO difficult AS that OF
self-government. But they possess one adyan-
tage which may almost ccunterbalance the de-
plOrable absence OF clubs and home. brewed
beer. They were, in former times, accustomed
to manage their own affairs, and the hope Is,
that they have not forgotten how. For five GEN.
taries they proved themselves perfectly capable
of conducting their own government, without
any assistance from abroad, and the presum
ton is, that they will do it again if allowed to
try it. That they will be allowed, we suppose
is certain. England and France will permit
nobody to interfere, and so the Hungarian and
the Austrian will fight it out in their own
way.
A Glorious Chance for the TOadies.
