" ROSSETTI PAPERS" is the heading under which
the Daily News of this morning commences the publica-
tion of a series of " documents prepared by M. Kossuth, in
illustration of his views upon Hungarian politics, hitherto
unpublished." The Dai y News proposes to print them,
from day to day, as fully as space will allow. The paper
commenced this morning is entitled " Summary of the
Principles of the Future Political Organisation of Hun-
gary," and embraces the views of H. Kossuth on the future
government of Hungary, written whilst the illustrious exile
woo detained in Turkey. After setting forth the necesaarily
injurious effects upon the liberty of any country (exemplified
by France) of too great and too much centralised a power
being vested in either executive or legislative government,
" though issued from universal suffrage," he says:
" However this may be as regards the French, 1, as an
Hungarian, and knowing the character of my nation, whose
tendencies are quite opposite, and whose equally invariable
traditional sentiments revolt sgaiuot centralisation-1, not
aspiring for my country to the vanity of conquering glory,
but for real liberty, and the happiness of complete demo-
cracy—l hate centralisation of power. I hate the preten-
tion to omnipotence of either government or legislature. I
shall lend no hand to burden my country with such institu-
tions, which I consider absolutely contrary to the rights of
man, that ought not to be air-orbed by the state, and can-
trary to political liberty, which cannot be combined with
a centralisation diametrically opposed in its natural
direction to liberty. I would have these rights and that
liberty free from the encroachments of authority. There-
fore, here is the sketch of the principles of the political or-
ganisation which I should propose for the sanction of the
people of my country. As a lundamental principle, I pro-
pose the sovereignty of the people, constituted as a demo-
cratic republic." H. Kossuth then proceeds to develope at
some length his ideas of the importance, as the sole guaran-
tees of real liberty of " the family, as regards the affiirs of
the family—the commune, as regards the affairs of the com-
mune—and the department, as regards the affairs of the
department." M. Kossuth defines, upon principles already
made public in his speeches, the powers and duties which
should belong to each of these, observing, among them,
that " each department must have and manage at least one
secondary departmental school in the language which shall
be determined on by the department," and that "the law
shall fix the minimum of instruction in these schools; and
the respective functionaries of the departments shall be
responsible to the governmen: fur this minimum." The
article concluaes as follows:—" As regards the legislative
power of the sate: The legislature is composed, as in the
United States of America, of the assembly of the repre-
sentatives of the people and the senate. The former
elected by universal suffrage in elictural circles, the
senators to the number of two for each depart-
' ment. The members of the central government of the
country, and the public functionaries of its appoint-
ment are not eligible, either as representatives or senators,
unless they resign their functions; and every representa-
tive or emitter accepting an office is supposed by that step
alone to give in his resignation as s member of the legislative
assembly. Tho government may, nevertheless, send its
members or its functionaries to the assembly to give expla-
nations or make communications. It is obliged to do so if
the assembly desire. it. Representatives and senators may
be removed by their electors; the law defines the mode of
proceeding for such revocations."
DINNER AT LIVERPOOL TO THE HON. MR.
WALlCER.—Yesterday evening about seventy of the prin-
cipal merchants and gentlemen resident in Liverpool, and
the members of the American Chamber of Commerce, en-
tertained the lion. It. J. Walker, late Secretary to tho
Treasury of the United States, at dinner at the Adelphi
Hotel. Mr. Walker is one of the candf.ates for the presi-
dential chair, and is favourable to the participation by Bri-
tish ships in the carrying trade to California. To him, also,
the British mercantile interests are indebted fur the intro-
duction of the bonding system, and many ameliorations of the
American tariff which have proved beneficial to British inte-
rests. W. Brown, Esq., M.P., was to have taken the chair, but
m fro indisposition, that gentleman was unable to attend, and
William Itathbone, jun., Esq., President of the American
Chamber of Commerce, officiated in his stead. The usual
loyal toasts having been duly honoured, the chairman pro-
posed the toast of the evening : "The lion. R. J. Walker, to
whom both countries are so much indebted for his exertions
to promote commerce, that great bond of union between
the two branches of the Anglo-Saxon family." The toast
was drank with the greatest enthusiasm, accompanied by
musical honours. The Hon. Mr. Walker, in acknowledg-
ing the compliment, said that it afforded him the greatest
pleasure at all times to reciprocate courtesies and friendly
relations with those upon whose efforts' intelli-
gence, end prosperity, so much depended for the
advancement of civilisation, refinement, and peace. It
was not to him, as a humble citizen, now without power
or patronage, thetEssdattheir honour that evening, but to
the country and icy of the American Congress and to
her commercial . The speaker then entered into a
series of statistics to prove that America in reducing her
taxes more than one half at the same time doubled her re-
venue. Comparing the high tariff of 1812 with the effect
of the policy eines 1846, he went on to say that duties had
been lowered 60 percent., population had increased 19} per
cent., tonnage 471 per cent., railways 452 per cent. ; and
the official account of the first quarter of the fiscal year re-
ceived bythe steamer the day previous announced a surplus
oft} millions. High tariffs reduced the amount of exports
more than imports, excluding there from foreign ports.
Their munaseree was not geographic—it belonged to the
world sad it was a singular fast that America and England
were the only nations whose receipts exceeded their ex-
penditure. He concluded by proposing" Prosperity to Liver-
pool." The Chairman then gave the following toasts, moos of
whichwere appropriately acknowledged by the respective
parties honoured—" The Right Hon. the .Piatl of Sefton "
Mr. Bosley and Mr. Aspinwall Turner, presidents of
the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the Commer-
cial Association, and prosperity to the manufacturing in-
terest, on which our own so much depends "—" That active
philanthropist, always foremost in every good work, inde-
pendent of country and creed, H. °rumen, Esq. of Net,
York "—" The Mayor and Magistrates of the lionagh,
and their excellent Representative on the Bench, J. Mans-
field, Req."—" T. L. Crittenden, Esq., Consul fur the
United States." A number of other complimentary toasts
followed, and after an evening spent with the utmost con-
viviality and harmony, the company separated.
BABINOSTOKR AND SALISBURY RAILWAY. On
Saturday a meeting of gentlemen interested in the comple-
tion of the above line was held in Andover, the Mayor of
that town in the chair, when a resolution, moved by H. B.
Coles, Esq., M.P., and seconded by Mr. Alderman Cnbitt,
31. P., and which was to the following effect, was unani-
mously adopted :—" That the London and South Western
Railway Company, having failed to complete the line of
railway from Basingstoke, via Andover to Salisbury,
within the time allowed them by the original and
extended acts, and being, therefore, now unable to
I complete the same without fresh powers from parlia-
ment, and not having given the necessary notices of their
intention to apply for the same, H. B. Coles, Esq., M.P.,
Mr. Alderman Cabitt, M.P., W. H. Heath, Esq., M.
Portal, Esq., M.P. Rev. Thomas Beet, and R. Rawlins,'
Esq., attended by the noticing.' of the company now form-
ing, be appointed a deputation from this meeting to wait
neon the directon of the Londoa and South Western
Railway Company, to urge upon them to take advantage of
the steps which have been taken by an independent railway
company, called the Basingstoke and Salisbury Railway
Company, which is now being fanned to complete this line
of railway, and to pledge themeelves by proper documents
to obtain the necessary powers to consolete the same within
a time to be agreed on, and in ease of refusal this meeting
considers the independent company entitled to its support.
Sir J. W. Pollen, Bart, stated that the Marquis of Win-
cheater was prevented attending by illness, but he most cor-
dially concurred in the terms of the resolution.
