POPULAR FEELING IN HUNGARY.

The Vienna coriespondent of the ' Times,' wntmg on the 14th Dec , says — The Hungarian Obergespane are making preparations for the re-oiganisation of the counties over which they are to pieside, although they continually have occasion to lemark that the nation is not satisfied with the concessions which have been made A person of my acquaintance, who has laige possessions m Hungary, yesterday assured me that haidly any one in that countiy considers the Impeiial lescnpts of the 20th of October an equivalent for the constitution. At fiist the mot a'orch c was that no appointments made by the Government were to be accepted, but subsequently the more moderate Liberals came to the conclusion that it would be unwise not to take advantage of the concessions whioh had been made. They, theiefore, lesolved to leave all the moie impoitant questions in abeyance until the Diet should meet, and assist the Conservatives in the re-orgamzation of the counties. Frequent confeiences have recently been held at Foth, a chateau belonging to Count Stephen Carolyi, and the lesult of them is that the Impeiial nominees, with the exception of nine, have consented to serve their king and countiy. Somewhat to the smpnse of the Hungarian world, Count Stephen Carolyi has accepted the office of Obeigespan of Pesth, and on Saturday next he will confei with 300 of the notables of the county, and at once pioceed to its oiganuation. At Pesth, it is said that an amnesty is about to be granted to all political offender", but I gieatly doubt the coirectness ot the lepoit. At all events, M. Kossuth, and thiee or fom other peisons whom I could name, will do well never to come ■nithin reach of the eagle's talons A list of the proposed members of the Pmnatical Conference was sent to this city from Gran some days ago, but we learn from Pesth that it has not yet been leturned to the Pumate of Hungary. Gieat insecuiity pievails in some of the Hungarian counties, and it is said that the leadeis of the revolutionaiy paity instigate the lower classes to molest the paitisans of the government. What truth there may be m this I am unable to say, but it is a notorious fact that Jews aie moie fiequently lobbed and ill- treated by the so called "poor fellows" than by Chustians. The Hungaiians aver that the government made concessions in older to induce them to ftght " pi opeily" against the Italians, and they loundly declare that the Hungaiian Diet will Cfiant neither money nor men for tde pmposc of replacing the Austnan yoke on the necks of the Lombaidb, Komans, Tuscans, &c The iinpiession on my mind is that the Hungaiians will eventually obtain evoi^ thing they lequire, but I doubt whether they will ever consent to

send iepre«sentatives to the Eeicksiath. There is now a great political ferment in Slavoma, tlie "Voivodina, Banat, and Transylvania, but in geneial the inhabitants of Crotia aie indiffeient to what is passing alournl theta. The Slavonians appear to wish foi a complete ie-union with the Hungarians, and the Servians talk of a conditional incorporation of the Voivodina with Iluugaiy, but the inhabitants of the Banat consider themselves Hungarians, as do the Magyars and SicUeis in Transylvania. The Croat"! aie so poor, and have recently suffered bo much fioin famine and disease, that they caie very little about politics.
