HUNGARY.  The German Tribune, a constitutional journal published at Munich, contains the following In Hungary the agitation of the public has become great. The higher and lower nobility have entered with great warmth into the cause of the Poles, and are anxious, above all things, for their nationality and independence. They recollect with pride and grief, that Hungary itself was independent previous to Ine, when she fell under the Austrian domination. They know that the consequences were, at home, a conspiracy; at one time hypocritical, and, at another, at. tended wi sanguinary violence against the nationality, the constitution, the habits, and even the language of the Hungarians; and abroad, the loss of their finest provinces, which were torn from them by the Turks. Amongst the people, on the contrary (who, being without any rights, have become mere machines) nothing but superstition has existed since the introduction of the terrible scourge of the cholera. 'On this occasion the Austrian Government has been taught a lesson ; and now knows by experience, that it is better to afford the mass of the people enlightened instruction, than suffer them to grovel In ignorance. Not only have the measures against the cholera been rendered in many places abortive by the resistance of a blind population, but on the banks of the Theism, and at the northwest extremity of Hungary, the most frightful prejudices have got full possession of the minds of the lower clean.— They imagine that the nobles and great landholders wish. to exterminate them, and that the physicians poison the air  and the water; that hence it tomes that so many of the poor and so few of the rich die, and that the latter make use of witchcraft to preserve themselves and destroy their serfs. The consequence is, that in the counties of ?AmpEn, Ssibott, Torontal, and Unghvar, and even in some parts of Zips, the peasants are waging a savage war, to which upwards of fifty nobles, and even women, have fallen victims. A greai many of the castles and seats of the nobility have been set on fire and destroyed. Letters from Prests, Presburg, and Vienna, cite amongst the many victims the well.krown names of Chaky, Szinnay, Almasy, Boronkay, and others. Cordons of troops are stationed ; but the fires are no sooner extinguished at one point. than they burst forth at another with increased violence. The strength of the monachy is completely exhausted by these calamities. The government cannot at this moment third of war in any shape, and therefore all that may be said on this subject should be treated as the mere inventions of alarmists. Sleep has fled from moat of the castles and towns of Hungary, from constant apprehension of being murdered or burnt by the peasantry. The end must be, that the nobles will place themselves at the bead of the few followers they have left, and commence a war of ex. termination. The probability is that they would succeed, but the contrary is not impossible ; but in either case what would be the advantage to the nation ? There will be great difficulty in retarding the hour of regeneration ; the enlightened part of the Magnates are pupated for it. Civilization has at length expanded itself beyond the ignoble minority in which it has been circumscribed during the oppression of rges. The dream of Ezekiel is about to be realised, and the scattered members of the nation gathered together and restored to animation. The march of time is irresistible, and will not be impeded by that scrni-barbarity in which it is endeavoured to overwhelm the material and Intellectual powers of Hungary ; even the capture of Warsaw will not arrest its course. We are astonished that the jour. nallists of France and England should be so ill-Informed of the real state of things, and do not endeavour to give Europe better intelligence upon a subject in which she is so deeply Interested, and which is so little understood."
