inhabitants 10 100000. Not content with this
infringement OF the old rights of Hungary, the
Austrian Government tried TO turn the national
aspirations which have, of late, played SO inn
portant part in the political history of Europe,
TO their advantage and TO incite the non-MagJar
natiOnalities of the countries belonging TO the
Hungarian crown against the Magyars, the pre-
dominant race. The great diversity of races in
these countries furnished to shire wd statesmen
most favorable ground for euch operations, as
will be seen from the folio wing race statistics:-

This table shows that the non Magyar nation
alitIes combined hove a large majority over the
Magyars, aud the endeavors OF the Austrian
Government TO ncite the former against the lat
ter were not altogether unsuccessful. The Ger
mans and Roumanians in Transyyania prevailed
upon the Diet of their Province to send deputies
TO the Austrian Parliament at Vienna notwith-
standing the protest of Hungary; and the Croa-
tlans, although they did not take the same step,
showed an intention OF separating permanently
their union with Hungary and OF uniting with
their kindred in Austria and Turkey for the for
n alton OF q Servian nation. Even IN Hungary
proper, large number of the Sclavi appeared
to be eager TO ally themselves with the Austrian
Government ae ainst the Magyar nationality,
Notwithstanding this very serious danger, the
Hunearians have been successful in their resist
ance to the centralizing policy OF the Austrian
Government, and the latter has publicly
confessed ITS inability to break this resistance.
OF course, the Huugarians make full recon-
citation dependent upon the restoration OF their
former frontiers, and the Austrian Government
has not only ceased It's opposition to the accom-
plishment Of this desire, but it has used its
influence both in TransylvaBia and Croatia for
inducing the provincial Diets to resume their
former relation 10 the Hungarian crown. The
Austrian Government has requested the Diets of
those two provinces to send their deputies to
the Hungarian Diet at Pesth. Both have COM
piled with this request (the Crotian Diet by
majority of only iour), and the Magyars will
have the great satisfaction of seeing again the
whole territory connected with the Hungarian
crown represented at their d .et.
The Magyars disayow any intention to sup
press the other natonaities OF the Hungarian
territory; but this of course, does not exclude
an inevitable tendency to consolidate gradually
the Hungarian countries into one political body,
and to strengthen more aud more the Magyar
ascendancy. With regard to Austria, any sue
Cess that may further attend the endeavorS OF
the Hungarians will promote the schemes of the
'dualists" who want to dissolve Austria into at
least two portions, entirely independent OF each
that of the different ana conflicting nationalltes
within the borders OF the lands connected with
the Hungarian crown and the relation OF Hun
gary to oAustra-constltute problems the soIu-
tion OF which is beset with more than ordinary
difficulties, and will, undoubtedly, form an in
teresting chapter in the history OF the second
half OF the nineteenth century.
