We publish this morning a telegram from
Pesth, january IL, which states that the Hum
garian Diet with remarkable unanimlty evinces
design TO break its negotiations with Aus
tris il that government continues to oppose
tho wishes Of Hungary In insisting on the army
organization scheme and other measures
equally oppressive and odious 10 the people.
The HERALD has already alluded to the Axcd
determination of the Hungarisns to preserve
their autonomy and to the enthusiastic resist
ance which they would be apt to make to
Austrian Interference with it In order to see
how Ear Austria is from being able at present
to cope successfully with the heroic spirit man.
ifested by the Hungarians In opposition to its
tyranny il is only necessary to look at the
picture Of the financial condition Of the Aus
trisn empire presented in the ofilcial report Of
Count Larisch, the Austrian Minister Of
Finance. A summary Of this report Of the
financial position Of the realm, as this will
appear, mp to the close Of 1867, Is contained in
q letter, which we also publish to-day, from
our Vienna correspondent The enormous de-
Hcit In the treasury Ii explained by Count
Larisch in what must be an unexaggersted 40
count Of the terrible effects Of the general dis
order Of commercial relations, the long cessa-
tion Of trade and industry, the backwardness
Of the railway system, the impovcrishment Of
the landed proprietors, the want Of pecuniary
circulating medium, the weakness Of capital, Of
credit and consumption, the pestilence and
famine in the Bukowina and Eastern Galicia,
the bad harvests, the fall Of the price Of grain
in Hungary, owing to the depression Of the
iron trade, the late unexanpled frosts and the
scourgs Of invasion and war. All these causes
combined sufice not only to account for the
dencit but to reveal the faot that Austria h
lily enough prepared for war with Hungary,
which might prove the signal for general
Europsan war. e... ...,,.

We referred briefly few days ago to the
decree Of the Emperor Of Brazil declaring that
the river Amazon was about TO be opened to
the free navigation Of all countries. We have
since published that decree in full, by which
it appears that from tho 7th of September,
1867, the navigation of the river Amazon as
far as the frontiers of Brazil, Of the river
Tocantins to Cameta, Of the river Tapajoz to
Santarem, and of tho river Madeira to Manaos,
shall be open to the commerce Of oil nations
The river ST. Francisco shall be opened at the
same date as far as the city Of Penedo. The
navigation of the tributaries Of the Amazon, IN
places where only one bank belongs to Brazil,
shall depend upon treaties yetto be made with
the States holding title TO the other bank, as to
the respective limits of each State as well as to
fscalsnd police regulations.
This is most important concession in view
Of the, vast and productive territory which Is
thus, thrown open to the commerce and enter
priao of this country. We have the authority
Of Professor Agassiz, who has just returned
from tour of scientific investigation in Brazil,
that the valley Of the Amazon is an immense
Cx'Sutcu Vltiu, WIN an OCCUd uOnb Vi OuC
hundsed and fifty miles wide, through which
the river and its tributarics discharge fresh
water ocean into the Atlantic. This grand
strcem is dotted with fertile islands, and for a
distance Of over thousand miles the navi-
gator cannot see both shores. Tho tributaries
which are also TO be opened TO foreign nayiga-
ton next fall are as colossal In their character
as tho Amazon isself, and are navigable for
hundreds Of miles into the heart Of the 50est
tropical countries On the American continent
= The actual population Of this vast valley,
with its gigantic intersecting water courses and
facilities for development, is not over quarter
of million, and Professor aAgassiz is probably
under the mark in his calculation that it could
sustain snd enrich population of twenty mill
lions Under the thrifty hand Of American en-
terprisc it might be made to support from fifty
70 Q hundred millions. Cattle innumerable
swarm over all these South American coun-
tries, affording fine export market for hides
and tallow and, If attention were directed to
that purpose, for beet also, which is now con-
Rdered Of little account In consequence Of
the large supply. Horses, TOO. are there n
abundance in their native wildness. Tropical
fruits Of all kinds, timber in every variety,
dyewoods, medicinal gums and thousand
other productions valuable In commerce only
await the application Of capital in that genial
region, which, though on the line Of The equa-
tor, possesses q healthy climate and even tenn
perature, ranging from seycnty-6ve to ninety
three degrees. We hope. then, that our mer-
chants. ship owners, shipbuilders and skippers
will put themselves IN readiness before the 7th
of next September to accept the golden oppor-
tuni.y offered by The liberality Of the Brazilian
government to make princely fortunes In the
region Of the Amazon. IF they do not we may
be certain that our Bostonian neighbors will
get ahead Of tliem. s
