SYMPATHY OF THE HUNGARIANS.
The . Hungarian exiles—sufferers by the troubles of 1848—have promptly taken advantage of the state of affairs, far the purpose cf endeavoring to improve the occasion. . In the Corriere Mercantile of Genoa there appears a proclamation from the exiles addressed to such of their countrymen as are still living under the dominions of Austria. Tin's docu ment is well calculated to inflame the minds of the Hungarians, and to detach them from an allegiance which is but. forced and distasteful. The following is a copy of the proclamation:— " Magyars! The Italians are your brothersRecollect 1849, when the Sardinian Govern* ment., notwithstanding its difficulties, extended a friendly hand to you, the only one offered to you io all Europe. Austria, by a thousand promises, will s«ek to induce you to fight for her ; but do not forget that Italy is fighting for her independence, and that the principle proclaimed by her is also ours. Recollect, Magyars, how Austria remembers her promises when the danger is past! The Italians and we are oppressed by the same yoko. Brethren in slavery, let us aid each other in reconquering and recovering liberty, and in battling for the cause of Italy you will promote your own !"
