Hungary is said to be suffering under one of the
most severe of national visitations. The facts leak out very slowly, but it is stated that no rain has fallen there for two years, the crops arc gone, the stock is perishing, and the people have commenced a great emigration. The Reichsrath has voted 2,000,000/. for the relief of the sufferers, and there are reports of serious agrarian risings. The country is nearly roadleas, and the greatest difficulty of the Government will be to convey the food to the people which the loan enables them to purchase.
