Political fact of some moment in Central Europe :—Hungary has

again a Honveul army, or, as we should call it, a Militia, Count. Andrassy has succeeded in raising and organizing once more really useful battalions aud squadrons of national troops. They have just been brigaded with the Regulars, and, divided into two. armies, have gone through a brief campaign in the very country between Pasth and Wait= over which twenty-three years ago. their Heaved predecessors fought the German, Italian, Polish, and Bohemian regulars of Austria in grim earnest. Reconciliation is. said to be complete. Whether it is or not, the notable fact is that Austria has now got a puissant Hungarian reserve, and Hungary trained and organized and armed bands of her gallant soldierlik& sous. It is a fact for Russia to reflect on.
