The Hungarian Observation-Disclosures,
September IL, ls75.-The proceedings in
the Hungarian Assembly, called in Ger
map!the Reichstag-an appellation not to be
COMPOUNDED with that of DO less august
Parliament at Berlin-have now commenc-
ed and from the frat there has been waged
therein bitter conflict, which will reach
two portions ofthe Empire and the Budget
shall come under discussion. The arrange
| ments concluded in the years 1867 8, and
which were only to subsist for ten years,
| were not satisfactory to the Hungarians at
! the time, and are less 80 now. That people
wishes for self government and separation
| from Austria, and, in fact, to become an in
dependent nation. The Hungarian demands,
if agreed to, mean the ruin of the Empire.
The other point, namely, that of the Bud
get, will, if it be settled according to the
| desires of Messieurs the Revolutionists of
1s43-some of whom now occupy pests of
honor and power in the county,
to this, that Hungary h. relieved Of the
small Gropos''"- 80 per cent.) Of the ma,
ueot allotted to her by the arrange
ments above mentioned. AT that time
Austria was saddled with 20 per cent. Of
the State debt-obviously an unfair proper
ton but now it is demanded that the CHS
Lothian community take the entire burther
ON itself and let Hungary go scot free. The
financial affairs 'of the latter country are
indeed, in anything but prosperous state
aud are daily becoming more embarrassed
owing to the mismanagemento of the author
titles. Tue taxes are in arrears, and the
arrears are not collected, and are growing
heavier from gear to year, while the Fl
nance department appears unable to devise
or at least to apply, any remedy to this
| wretched state of things. One principal
reason of this helplessness is the large
numbers of non-taxpayers to be found
amongst the higher GLASSES. l could ever
name two individuals, at the present mo
ment Ministers of State, who have got
themselves exempted from all payment 0,
taxes. Such exceptional privilege may
seem almost Incredible to you in England
but it is the lamentable fact in Austria
One cannot therefore blame the common
people, if they initiate their betters, anC
evade the payment of their taxes in every
possible way. In middle class houses the
tax gatherer is not unfrequently shown the
door and told "When the lords pay theil
taxes will pay minem
