HUNGARY. — The important position assumed by the people of Hungary gives deep interest to all their movements. The annexed article i from the Boston Atlas preseuts in a condensed form an intelligent view of her existing rela j tions with Austria. THE HUNGARIAN WAR. It is a very prevalent, but a very erroneous idea, that the contest now raging between Hungary and Austria is a mere rebellion of one of tbe provinces of a great Empire—that the Hungarians are but a half civilized race— her noblesare tyrants, and herpeople aie slaves. But Hungary is an independent nation ; her government is a limited monarchy, and her constitution, in many respects, similar to that of England. She has a Parliament, called the Diet, composed of two chambers, Peers and Commons, which the King is bound to summon at least once in three years; and this Diet regulates the interna! aflaire of the State.— Unfortunately, however, it cannot originate laws—its action is confined to those subjects which the King chooses to present for consid eration ; and it is for this reason only that Hun gary has been behind the age in political re form. Until 1817 her population was divided into two distinct and entirely separate classes —nobles and peasants; and all of noble descent belonged to the first class, whether rich or poor, titled or not. The entire class was exempt from taxation, and the whole burden of the State was borne by the peasants. In the course of events, the Dukes of Austria—the residuary legatees of all the rulers "by divine right" with whom they have ever intermarried—be came kings of Hungary, and thus it happens that Hungary has come to be considered merelv an Austrian province. Each of these Dukes more recently Emperors—on his accession to the throne was obliged to swear that he would govern in a constitutional manner and support the institutions of the State ; but most of them —like the English Stuarts—have broken their oaths and endeavored to substitute "divine right" tor law, despotism for liberty, consolida tion for independence. But these attemps at usurpation have always been manfully met, and neither force nor traud has ever yet been able to deprive the Hungarians of their laws and their independence ; the most that Austria could accomplish was to keep them from ad vancing. For more than half a century the Hungarians have been trying to induce their kings to call the attention of their Diet to po litical subjects, in order to bring about impor tant relormations in a legal manner; petition and promise has followed promise, only to be evaded or broken. At length, in 1*47, the long sought favor was granted; the Archduke 1 Palatine—representing the king—called the ! attention of the Diet to those subject which had I been so long the object of petitions, and the re- j suits of the deliberations of that assembly are 1 without a parallel in history. The upper House —like the English House of Lords—was com posed of the hereditary nobility—owners of the soil, who received its produce and were exempt ; from taxation ; and the lower House was elect ed, in a great measure, from the class of nobles who were in like manner free from all the bur dens of the State ; and yet, m the words of the writer in Blackwood— "By unanimous votes of both houses, the Diet not only established perfect equality of civil rights and public burdens amongst all classes, denominations, and rices in Hungary and its provinces, and perfect toleration of re ligious worship; but with a generosity perhaps urijMtralieled in the history of nations, and which must extort the admiration even of those who may question the wisdom of the measure, the nobles of Hungary abolished their own right to exact either labor or produce in re turn for tbe lands held by urbarial tenure, and thus transferred to the peasants the absolute ownership, free and fort ver, of nearly half the cultivated land in the kingdom, reserving to the original proprietors such compensation as the government might award from the public funds ot Hungary. Afore than 500,(HH) peasant fam ilies were thus invested with the absolute own ership of from thirty to sixty acres of land each. The elective tranchise was extended to e\erv man possessed of capital or property of the val ue ot §l5O, or an annual income ot §SO ; to ev ery man who has received a diploma from a university, and to every artisan who employs an apprentice." We repeat it, such an instance of liberality, ottrue patriotism,of disinterested love of liberty, cannot be found in the history ot the world.— And this splendid deed is the true cause of the present war. It was this which roused the sluggish Austrians from the sleep of ages, and made them think of freedom. 1 was this which lighted the flame of liberty in despotic Prussia. It was this sacrifice of time-honored vested rights—this great concession of a gal lant and generous race to the claims and long lost rights of the people, which came near over turning all the despotisms of Europe ut one swoop. To crush this noble nation, despotism is arm ed and arming. For an open attack there was i\ew picric*—Vol. 3 —Hfo. 31. jnn apology. Hungary had legislated for her ! self a .'one, as she had a perfect right to lrgis i iatp Ihe Archduke Palatine—the represen tative of her King—had sanctioned her acts, and Austria could not complain. The effects in truth, was not foreseen, nor was is suspected until the Austrian people themselves began to taik about freedom, expelled the Emperor from Vienna, and almost accomplished a revolution. Resort was then had to stratagem—the Ban of Crotia (a Hungarian province inhabited by a < different race of people.) was encouraged to rebel, and taking Hungary unawares, he burnt and destroyed ail before him. Hungary ap pealed to her King—the Emperor— to put (low a ! this rebellion, or authorize her to raise troops j for her own defence. The Ban was openly proclaimed a rebel and ordered to repair to the Emperor, hut secretly instigated to persevere. Then came the siege of Vienna, in which the Croats, under their Ban—who stood branded as a rebel—joined the Austrian troop?, and was permitted to hold his command. In the mean ; time, the Hungarians took their affairs into their own hands, raised armies, and followed the Croats till their junction with the Austrians under the walls of Vienna; and out of this act of self-defence, the Emperor has made the os tensible cause of war. To punish this rebel lion, the armies of Austria and Crotia, under Windischgratz and Jellachich, were sent into j Hungary, and for a time it appeared as if the iron foot of despotism would crush cut the last spark of liberty in that glorious land. But the men who could nobly relinquish their undisputed rights for the common good, could do more. Hungary rose en masse—no bles and peasants—men and women! Thirty thousand gallant Poles escaped from Russian slavery and raised their lances once more for liberty—and these united, have driven back the Austrian hordes, defeating them in battle ' after battle—to their own borders. Hungary ! is free from the invader, but whether she will I be able to maintain her freedom is a problem j yet to be solved. Austria, beaten, disgraced, ; alarmed, has appealed to Russia; and Russia, ! only too glad to fight against liberty, has pro mised her aid, and her armies are already on the march to redeem the promise. It it said that England and France have re monstrated against Russian intervention. We hope it is so, and if Russia does not heeo the remonstrance, we trust they will go farther, and sustain, with all their power, the gallant Hungarians in the unequal contest. We are no lovers of war. but in such a case as this—ir the despots of Austria and Russia will tempt tiieir fate—we shall be glad to see one grand struggle—a union of all the lovers of liberty— ot all the advocates of equal rights, against the last strong holds of despotism and tyranny. We 6hall rejoice tisee the fires of freedom, so boldly kindled, so brightly burning on the plains ot Hungary, extend over the mountains of Bohemia, reanimate fallen Poland, penetrate Austria, and shed the first ray of light over Russia. But even tor Hungary, single-hand ed, we will hope for success. Out of this struggle may grow up a general war in Europe, it Russia persists in her in terference, France and England may do some thing more thaa protest; and such a war can hardly end without rooting out the last vestiga of "the divine right of kings," and restoring the people of Europe to all the rights of man. The London Spectator says that the Hun- I garian artillery is served principally by young I men of good family and station, advocates, en | gineers, employee?, all without exception men of scientific and literary training. But the ; pride and boast ot the Hungarian army are the . thirteen Hussar regiments, (each at least 600 strong,) five of which have been newly organ j ized. One of these the nation owes to the I patriotism of Count Stephen Karolyi. This ; great nobleman, who almost vies with the head of the Esterhazys in wealth, and who has hith erto taken but little part in Hungarian politics, in addition to a contribution in money amount ing to twenty thousand pounds sterling, did in last November, at his own sole expense, raise, mount, and equip a regiment of this brilliant army, which he now commands in person in the field. All the troops are well clothed and armed, amply provisioned, regularly paid, nnd sufficiently provided with stores and ammuni tion of every kind. HI'KGARIAS DECL.VRA.TIOK OF INDF.PENDEKCF. According to accounts received at Vienna the Hungarian Parliament on the 14th of April, on the motion of M. KOSSUTH, adopted the follow ing declaratory resolutions : 'l. Hungary, together with Transylvania, is and shall be a free and independent European State. 'd. The House of Ilapsburg Lorraine, is, and shall be excluded, and deposed and banished now and forever, from the dominion, sovereign ty and enjoyment of the territories of Hungary, as well as of Transylvania, and all the parts, countries, and provinces thereunto appertaining. ' And the said House is and shall be declared in the name of the nation to have forfeited the throne, and to be excluded and disowned and banished. ' 3.

'The execution of the principles contained in these resolutions is confided to a committee of three persons.' The accounts go on to say— M. Kossuth's motion was adopted by tho unanimous vote of the Parliament, amidst the most enthusiastic cheers of the people. 4 This thundering voice of millions,' adds the Consti tutionelle Zeitung, 'is the shout of the resurrec tion of the Magyr nation; it is the dirge of th • exiled and traitorous house of Hansburg Lor raine.' With respect to paragraph lof Kossuth's mo tion, the house protested that they placed un limited confidence in Kossuth, the mover of tha bill, and that they elected hitr. to be the Presi dent of Hungary.

The above proceedings of the lower House of i the Hungarian Parliament were in the course (of that day (14th of \pril) sanctioned by u ! iianinious resolution of the I pper House.
