FRENCH VIEWS OF THE HU NGARIAN TRoU.



Troublesome times are again Swallowed forth
for Europe in the political difficulties now existing
between Austria and Hungary. The Paris Patrie
speaking of the cause of unrest in Hungary saws
''The Italian war, which was undertaken for the
| freedom of the Italians, has awakened ameng the
Magyars the hope of independence, which, although
repressed for long time, never entirel Y
quenched. The sudden conclusion of the peace OF
llllairanca, although destroying many illusions in
the plains of the Theiss has however not discour-
aged the men, and their number is large in Hun
gary, who prefer for their country modest amount
of concessions, obtained by peaceful MEANS to a
radical change which would be the result of a
bloody struggle.
1t was thought, and not without reason, that the
events accomplished in Italy would serve as salu-
tary lesson Those events showed that Power
which only reposes on bayonets is but an epheme-
raj power. Lombardy was already lost to Austria
previously to the occupation of that province by
France. 1t was therefore to be expected that the
Austrian government would profit by that dreadful
lesson and obtain the affection of the several ma
tionalites by giving them back the rights of which
they have been deprived by system of exaggera-
ted Capitalization. This expectation has not en-
tirely been deceived. The imperial manifesto of
July 10 announced to the people of the Austrian
empire that the Emperor, at the cost of great sac
rifces, had concluded peace in order to give in
future all his care to internal reforms
One single important reform measure has been
that is the organization of the Protestant Church,
which, with political troubles, has caused mucb
dissatisfaction among the people. =
1t is known that the Austrian government tried
to gain the affections of the old conservative party
of Hungary. To ascertain the dispositions of the
magnates who represent that party, NJ. de Hubner
the Minister of Police, had an interview with
twenty-five magnates. He was convinced that all
the ancient divisions of party had disappeared in
Hungary, and that reform is possible unless the
ancient constitution of the country is first re-
established, and the government completely re-
nounces its tendencies towards Germanizing Hun
gary and absorbing the Magyar nationality. Nj.
de Hubner brought those impressions and convic-
tions back to Vienna; few days afterwards he was
no longer Minister.

subject. "What the Hungarian nation requires
it says" is
