AMNESTY in EUROPE.
The Austrian Emperor's Amnesty
to Hungary.

The Emperor Of Austria has addressed
tho following autograph letter to Herr
Won Komers, tho Minister of Justice
DEAR CHEYALIER VoS K0NERs: My
heart inclines me, upon the day when
shall assume the crown Of St Stephen,
to extend full forgiveness, even in my
kingdoms and countries now belonging
to the Hungarian Crown, to all those
who have committed an effense against
me or any members of my Imperial
House 1t is my desire chat this highly
important day should bring comfort and
joy, as far as possible, into the abodes of
even we'll deserved misfortune, and that,
therefore, such prisoners as have already
endured the greater part of the punish
ment allotted to their crimes, and are
admitted to be improved and not danger
Gus to society, should receive their
freedom and be allowed to return to their
families. "a
l have, therefore, decided upon re.
hitting, in 80 far as it has not been
already suffered, the punishment imposed
upon all those persons who, up to the
day Of my coronation as King Of Hun
gary and the adjacent countries, have
been found guilty Of high treason or
offenses against the Imperial House.
And accordingly decree that no crimi
nal proceedings shall take place for
slrenses of this character committed
before the aforesaid day, and that any
proceedings still pending on account
thereof at that date shall at once be
quashed.
| have further determined entirely TO
relieve the four hundred and ffty.four
civil offenders, named in the list ap-
pended, from the remainder of their
terms of imprisonment; to commute
sentences Of the four subsequently,
named persons from imprisonment for
life to stated periods of incarceration,
and to desire my Supreme Court to sub
stitute suitable terms of imprisonment
in the cases of the eight criminals mem
toned in your special report, upon whom
sentence of death has been passed by my
tribunals
You will, therefore, see that this act of
grace is carried into effect upon the day
Of my coronation. francis JosEPH.
