not the Liberals, because what they want is
absolutely to destroy the Churcb's existence

Hungary.-In Hungary a conflict with tie
Church also threatens. The Hungarian Gov
eminent has requested the Austrian Minister
Herr Stremayer, to give them the plans upon
which he elaborated the Confessional laws for
the country on this side of the L-itha, in order
that they may frame similar laws for the
benefit OF the Hungarian Catholics. But in
Hungary thu situation is very difficult, on ac-
count OF the hot, fierce character of the people,
and it may easily happen that the laws
which the liberals desire to force upon the
Church may be executed on themselves.
Already voices arising which declare
that the Hungarians viii permit
the Church's rights to he violated but
that they, as one man, answer for them
and if necessary, in their way, way
with which meddlers and interlopers, Pandours
and even Governmental officers, have, before
now, got more acquaintance than they may
have found agreeable. The point from which
the Hungarians view the religious conflict is
doubtless peculiar; but while they acknow-
ledge that the Church prohibits all violent
resistance to the Powers that be, they are
nevertheless, convinced that they will be doing
a good and pious act if they can extirpate
4" modern ideas and their partizans; and they
believe that by SO doing they will do their
king aud country great service. AS affairs
stand at present, the conflict in Hungary conld
it will terminate in the benefit of the Church
and of the country. At any rate. we need not
be anxious about the result of the Confess
expect that the Liberals now in power will
act, as they have done elsewhere, rashly and
unadvisedly, aud commit some fatal blunder
that will Incense the country and put an end to
their despotism The Austrian and Hungarian
Delegations have finished their work, but in a
manner which may easily astonish stranger,
but nobody who has experience in the specf-
all parties stood and talked in the Delegations
against the propositions of the Ministers but |
in the last couple CT hours they gave in spite |
of all. their consent to the Ministerial desires
in submission to the advice of their leader |
who feared that other wise one or the other of |
the Liberal Ministers might have the misfor-
tune to tumble out of his seat. 1t was really |
shocking to see the man who was sent to pre-
serve the welfare of the Monarchy and mind
tho just wishes of the different nationalities,
neglecting his holy duties for the purpose of
in Austria only the eighth part of the whole
population. This evolution Count Andrassy
brought about: with bis diplomatic Boosting,
and his declaration that the conflict with Rome |
will be pursued in decided manner. Count
Andrassy knows his people just as we'll as the
circumstance that in a decisive moment he
need only feed his people with Rome or the
Jesuts, and they will consent to all that he or
he other Ministers want. In such an unwar-
antable manner our Liberal Ministers and '
deputies play with the wealth of the land, 6
he welfare CT the people, and the authority I
f the Crown. In the middle of June, two i
liberal meetings will take place in Austria, !
ne at Krems, the other at Warnsdorf, for the r
purpose of forcing the Government to bring .
avs into Parliament decreeipg the civil mar. ,
ias", the expulsion of the Jesuits, and the
of the Old Catholic sect.
