EMPEROR.
PEsTH. Jan 12.-At to-days meeting of the Lower
House of the Hungarian Diet, NJ Deak brought in the
draft of his new address, which was read TO the
House. Ii is as follows:
IMPERIAL ROYAL, AND APOSTOLIC MAJESTY: When, in
our recently submitted address, again and repeatedly
besOught your Majesty to deign TO restore in its full in
tegy state treaty which forms the basis OF
mutual relations Of right wiz the violated Pragmatc
Sanction and the constitution therein guaranteed, but
suspended by absolute power when we explained that
so long as we stand outside the consttu-
ton, we are not justified in taking any
decisive step for bringing about the desired reconciliation
we were with right able TO expect and did confidently
hope, that the hOroughness Of motives woud be APP
precated, and request would be speedily fulfilled
But apprehension and doubt take the place OF hope
When that in the domain Of legislation, as well as
in that Of the executive absolute power continually dis
poses Of most sacred interests recently shown
by decree bearing upon the future That undoubted
right Of Hungary according TO which the settlement
of the defensive system, and every modification, can
