Tho Austrian Empiroe is composed of TWO NATIONS, more diatinot in origin, race, and language than aro the British and Fronch., Tho union is an artificial, or, more oxactly spesking, s dyoastic one. - The crowns of both nationa—Austria and Hungary—are united in the Hapsburg dyuasty, Bevoral centurics ago, the Emporor of Auetrin married tho heiress apparent or Queen of Hungary, thus uniting the two mon- archics. But, while tho ruler of Austria was entitled Emperor or Empross, that of Hungary was called King or Queen, Hence tas present monarch, Francis Joseph 1., is Emporor of Aus- trin and King of Hungary, and is called by tho poople * Dor Kalgor-Koonig.,” In this bipartito Btate, tho ruling clement of the Western or Cisloithan half is Gorman, and of tho Eastern or Traneloithan balf is Magsar., Tho former pos- seased, at the consne of 1870, a population of 20,394,980 souls, ocoupying 109,630 equare mlles of torritory; and the Intter numbercd 15,509,455 inhabitante, wich 117,203 square milos of torri- tory ; maling togathor a total of 85,004,435 1NuABITANTS and 276,793 equars miles, The mafor part of Hungary is & lovel plain, while moro than half of Austiin—tho wostorn and southorn portions— 18 covored with mountaina, Alps over Alps ariso ovorywhora, excopt in Bohemin, Moravia, and Galicia; but Bobomia is walled in Dy other monatains of its own. The ruling etomont in Austria, as remarked, is Gorman, which numbers 10,000,000 of tho 20,000,000, But thero sre 4,000,000 of Bolie- mians, a8 many millions of Poles and Rutheni- and, beaides 1,600,000 of Croats, and 1,000,000 of Xtalinug,—ench raco epoaking a difforont lan- gunge, In Hupgary tho Dlagyars—who aro sprung from the same stock as the Turks— numbor 5,600,000, while the Blavonic racos, callod Sorvians, Bulgarians, Slavoniaus, and sov- ors otbors, number about 10,000,000, The Mag- yurs coomtitute tho aristocracy, own noarly all tholand, enjoy all the special privilogos, and hold all the ofcos in both Btate and Church. Tho Slavonio tribes have hoen purposoly kopt in \gnorance and degradation, and consequentiy 1in poverty and a condition of serfdom. The orator Kossuth, whodeclaimed so fervidly about Liberty, througbout tho United Btates, a quarter of a century ago, wna n Magvar loader.whoso political mchieme or platform conristed of dismombermont of the Empiro, independence of the Emnporor, and domination of the Magyar arigtrocracy.

Provious to 1867, tho Austro-Tlungarian Par- liameut lield their scsrions in Vienna for manv yonrs; but tho Magvar and German factions quarreled like cate and_dogs, nnd wera 1 & can- tinual hroil, approaching o stato of quasi-c-vil war. Whatoyer one side proposed, the other opposed without rhvmo or reason., The Map- yars rofused to vote taxes orsupplies, and mployed _every method and dovico to embarrass ‘and broak down tho Oovernment., long a8 t, 80 Austria remnined at the head of tho Gorman Bund or Confadoration, the German faclion in ‘Austrin felt strong enongh to dofy the Aagvar faction in Hungary, Flually the Austrinne camo fo blows with the Prusslaus and Ttalians in 1866, and were vanquishod in a great battla, and com- polled to mako poace on tho humflintmf tarms of enrrandering tho beautiful and fortile Pro- ¥inco of Venico, with {ta 2,500,000 inbabitants, to Vicior Emanuol, and of complotelv withdrawing from tho German Pund; which latter loft 1he German faction unsupporton, and io @ dncided minonity, in the Austio-lluneerisn Empire. 'Le Magvars, aver on tho ulert, Jost no time in takiug advantage of thia situation of affairs, and extorted from tho weoulnoss of tho Qorman party the Constitution of 1867, wheraby Ilun- gory was constituted AN INDEPENDENT KINGDOM, with a soparate Parliament, Minintors, laws, courts, Inugunge, and unages; the only romain=- Ing ligamont to unito or bold togother the bi- yalve Govornment was tho acknowledement on the part of the Magyar fuction of Franz Josenh I, us King of Hungary, to whom they promised sllegianco.
