their stand on the basis of historical right. They do not wish for a new Constitution; they only ask for their old laws from their King. The Emperor expressed a persuasion that when the Hungarians reflected on his position and their own they would feel it impossible that their existence as a distinct kingdom should ever be recognised, and would cheerfully take their places in the general Parliament of the Empire. The reply of the Hungarians is that they have nothing to do with the Empire or its general Parliament. They are entitled to their own Diet as the supreme authority for the regulation of their own affairs, and that they will never agree to abandon that to which they have so undeniable a claim.

If this is the final decision of both sides, the only solution lies in an appeal to arms. It is possible that this appeal may be made and decided by the occupation of Hungary by a force large enough and strong enough to prevent a rising; and thus the Hungarians may yield to force without any open rupture.

The Austrian Government seems determined to try to attain this result. It is drafting large bodies of troops from Italy into Hungary, and it has announced its intention of employing its soldiers to enforce the payment of taxes. No attack on the side of Italy seems probable at present, and the Hungarians may be obliged to yield for the time. That is, they may content themselves with a protest, and may consent to pay the taxes which are extracted from them at the point of the sword. But this is a very different thing from their joining heartily in the plan of a common constitutional government. The Reichsrath will not represent the Empire at large, and although it may register the decrees of the Cabinet, and although these decrees may be wise and beneficial, there will be no life or power in the system. Even if Hungary is coerced into silence and despair, it can plant its sting in its enemy, and can plague Austria with the curse of an inherent and incurable division in its members.
