been removed to Tahiti by the French had mt
themselves under the command of several Euro

ton composed of one hundred and siXty men The
CaledonIans, who are styled 'insurrectionists,
stoutiy opposed the French, and in the first three
davs killed a captain and nineteen soldiers. How

1t was rumoTed in Paris Yesterday that a reyou-
ton had broken out in Hungary.
Vienna letter says that military preparations
continue to be taken against the agitation appre-
hended In Hungary. Several regiments of heavy
cavalry, which had been kept on war footing
have been marched towards the old frontiers sepa-
rating Austria from Hungary. The Minister of
Justice had given orders for the prosecution of the
President of the Protestant assembly held at Kar-
mack, and all the persons who took an active part
In the proceedings there.
BEGINNING OF THE CONFLICT.
- The following letter shows that the discomfort in
hungary Is assuming n seriOnS aspect:
PEsrH, Dec l6.-Events in this country have for
sometime past been marching toward fearful cri-
SIS, and the Viennese government, apparently, is
doing all it can to aggravae them and to aston an
explosion. L have to record to-day scandalous
outrage committed by that government in this very
city OF Pesth an outrage which has excited intense
indignation in all classes of the population.
An immense crowd as stated in nv letter of
yesterday, assembled in the Catholic Cathedral to
attend the mass celebrated for the repose of the
soul of the dramatist kisfaludv, whose remains
were recently clandestnely removed by the Aus
trian authorities from the old to the new cemetery
1t so happened that at the time this mass was cee-
brated the Protestants Of the Lutheran communion
were attending meeting on the subject of the ev-
erlasung imperial patent in the schOolroom attach
ed to their church in the coal market When the
mass was over, the greater part of the persons who
attended it,and nearly all of whom WERE of course
Catholic, resolved to go to the Protestant meeting,
IN order to display once more the sympathy with
which Catholics regard the struggle the Protest
ants are making to prevent the oppression of their
religion by the Viennese Cabinet. Not to interrupt
the Protestants the Catholics remained outside the
school-room and the church, and were perfectly
quiet. All at once the tramp of soldiers and the
clatter OF horses hoOts were heard approaching,
and presently large bodies of cavalry and infantry
charged the people. Not a summons to disperse
was lssued-nOt ord said but the brutal
soldiers with bayOnets fixed and swords hasbinp
rushed right into the midst of the crowd and drove
them right and left. Women and children shrieked
In terror, and ran as fast as they could; but many
OF them were overtaken and were knocked down
by blows from muskets, and others were trampled
under foot by the horses.
Then men, after retiring some little distance
rallied, and groups of them here and there showed
disposition to resist but, in compliance with the
earnest entreates OF some influential personapes
they retrained from hostility, and at last all went
home shouting the national ralIYing cry "E5ena
nGSd!' (long live the country)-a crywhch CRATES
peaceably dispersed, great number of persons
were subsequently, arrested, and are still in Jail |
learn, besides, with regret, that several of those
who knocked down or trampled under foot
are in a deplorabe plight.
Ihls wanton outrage is regarded as of the very
greatest Importance in n political point of view
IL Is, IN truth, the beginning of conflict between
the Hungarians and their oppressors, of which no
one can predict the end. The belief is that the
Austrian authorities will follow it up by declaring
resin IN state OF siege, and by quitting down.
the wearing OF the national costume, which in their
eyes Is symbol of revolution.
The persecution of the Protestants is continuing;
everywhere arrests are being made and prosecu-
tlons ordered. The Austrians are boasting that
the frotestants ot certain places have adhered to
the imperial patent; but if they have those places
are SO obscure that scarely anybody ever heard of
them, and the Protestants must certainly have
been subjected to extraordinary pressure-most
likely threatened with arrest and ruinous fines
Doubtless the weakness of these brethren is to be
regretted; but il is not every one even among
Protestans, VINO is capable of suffering for consci
ence sake.
The Vennese government appears determined 70
persist in selling the crown lands of Hungary
though to do so would be as scandaOus a spolia-
ton as was ever perpetrated, even by the Hapsburg
dynasty. knowing well that Hungarian rich
or poor, gentle or simple, will disgrace himself by
purchasing those lands, the Viennese government
has conceived the notable project of authorizing Is
raetes to possess real property in order that they
may become purchasers; but the Israelites of Hun
Du,
and have over and over again, both during and
since the revolution, proved they are So To at
tempt then, to seduce them from the side of their
cOuntrymen by the bTibe of lands sold at less than
the cost price, is gross insult, and the Jews will
resent it as such.
THE PRoTESTANTS IN HUNGARY.
During the last few days there have been indica-
tiOns of an approaching schism between the Magyar
and Slavonic Protestants in Hungary, and it is
averred by the former that the seeds of discord
have been sown by the agents of government The
number of Protestants in Hungary il 3,O48, ,l41 of
whom ,GS4 ,033 have, by means of their represen-
tatives, pettioned the Emperor to suspend the pa
tent OF the lst of September. 9,Gl0 Hungarian
Protestants principally Sclavonic) have voted an
address of thanks to the Emperor for his patent,
and the other 1874 49S have not vet given expression
to their sentiments.

AN AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.-The National hteVi-
9encer understands that it is in contemplation to
make an improvement in the bureau arrangements
OF the Interior Department, by relieving the ad-
ministration of the Patent Office from the Agri-
cultural division of that bureau, and placing the
latter on separate footing, and that the bureau
has been offered to Hon. Thomas G CIumson, for
meriy Minister to Belgium, and for several years
past resident of this State The hlteigencer saws:
"By scientific attainments and practical acauain-
tance with agriculture in its various branches no
less than by personal character Mr.. c. is peculiarly
well fitted give to the bureau its widest scope of
usefulness and, having doubt that his bioh
qualifications rather than any party considerations
have moved the Government to tender him the an
pointment, we indulge the hope that he may ac-
