Batthyany, the grand- father of the unfortunate Louis Batthyany, was the man who in that memorable sitting of the Diet at Presbmg in which the Empress Maria Theresa implored the help of the Hungarians against the victorious army of Frederick the Second, pro- nenneed the famous words " Moriamur pro rege nostro l "—a cry which was en- thusiastically repeated by the assembled Magnates, and which at the time saved the house of Hapsbarg-Lorraine.—Solner Zeitung.
