Inshia. — Lord Derby is reported to be at Pesth, and going
on to Agram, perhaps to see for himself the condition of Hungary. It is reported that in the counties where the committees have been dis- solved, sentences are now passed by court-martial, bat this requires confirmation. The only marked change in the Austrian situation has occurred in Austria itself. There the Reichsrath has been adjourned for a month, or over the time when the budget must be voted, and the press and Liberal politicians are now calling for concessions to Hun- gary. It is believed that M. von Schmerling will be dismissed, the constitution abolished, and autocratic rule once more substituted in its place. The Government, it appears, apprehends an outbreak on the coast of the Adriatic, and believes that Hungary will rise. It seems certain that new measures are being taken for the defence of the coast, and that in Vienna the constitution is admitted to have collapsed.
