LETTER OF KOSSUTH.
The following letter from Kossuth has appealed
in some of the Italian journals :
A large number of my countrymen having addressed me
by letter from various parts of Italy, uking my advice as
to the conduct they ought to pursue in the present con-
juncture ; as it is impossible far me to reply to each indi-
vidually, I hereby declare that,.in my opinion, those of my
fellow countrymen who are employed in the military ear-
vice or in any other way, should remain for the present whore
they are, and quietly await the course of events. Those,
on the other hand, who are not employed, and who desire
to enter the military service, will do well to take service
in the Hungarian legion. They may be sum that, should
masters progress so as to enable them to offer the support
of their patriotic seal in the field of action, they will be
duly informed on the subject.
