LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1849.

Our suspicions as to the treason of ARTHIR
GEORGEY in laying down the Hungarian arms un-

conditionally at the feet of PASKEWITCLI, are at
length definitively confirmed. The name of this
miserable traitor will henceforth be enrolled with
AIARoTo, of MONK, and of DUMOURIEZ. By his
last act of double-dealing—the consummation of his
prolonged intrigues—he has damned himself to ever-
lasting infamy. From this time forth and for ever
he will be a horror and a scoff, and a hissing, and an

abhorrence to all posterity. We have feared this for
a long period; and now all our fears are deplorably
realised. For Louis Kossuru, the greatest, the

noblest, the purest, the bravest of the Hungarians, in
many respects the foremost man in all Europe, Louis
KossuTH, the Dictator and for a while the Liberator of
his fatherland, has pronounced his judgment upon the
recent proceedings of GEORGEY. Even in the
communication addressed to BEM announcing his

abdication from power, Kossuxu sufficiently inti-
mated the culpability of the once-honoured victor of
Ofen when, informing the conqueror of Transylvania
that G BORG EY, in the very crisis of airs,
proclaimed his intention no longer to obey but to
govern, he exclaimed in such despairing accents, " I
implored him to remain, at all events, patriotic and
faithful to his country, and I ceded to him my place."
England, Hungary, Europe, have seen how faithful
and patriotic this man prored to his country, how his
very inaugurative act on his accession to the Dicta-
torship was to deliver up the fortunes of the land of

his birth unconditionally to the vengeance of Despotism

But GEORGEY'S guilt has not been merely implied by
the reproachful language wrung from the soul of the

great KOSSUTH in the first moment of his supreme
anguish and desolation. No! The voice of that
illustrious hero has declared in the most explicit and
emphatic terms the depth, and the darkness, and the
atrocity of the treason of this execrable renegade.
In a letter addressed to Count CASSIMIR ESTERHAZY,
the Commandant of Comorn, Louis KOSSUTH has
asserted in tones that will resound through the
trumpet of history the shame and criminality of his
fellow-countryman. " My slender hopes," says he,
"of being able, by resorting to extraordi-
nary measures, to give our cause a more
favourable turn, have been wholly destroyed by
the shameful ingratitude of GEORGET ; for the
sudden revelation and execution of his plans, which
I have long perceived and feared, WAS A TREASON
TO THE CAUSE OF THE NATION, and inflicted on me,
and through me on the Republic, a deathblow." After
that, who shall be insane enough to question for one

instant the accuracy of the assertion that ARTHUR
GEORORY is a traitor ? Who shall be idiot enough to
doubt that the gold of the Ural mountains has had
something to do with the policy of so very base and
ignoble a character ? KOSSUTH has said it. Hence-
forth the name of GEORGEY will be a byeword in the
mouths of the people. Henceforth he will be loathed
and anathematized as the assassin of liberty, and as
the murderer of the nationality of the Hungarians.
While the inexorable justtee of public opinion is
compelled to pronounce itself upon the infamous au-
thor of such stupendous calamities as those which have
rec*ntly befallen the Hungarians, the integrity of
those illustrious men should not be forgotten, who,
uninfected by the contagious turpitude of the epoch,
have remained true, to the last moment, to the cause
of this righteous and glorious Revolution. It was BEM
who, though opposed by the preponderating strength
of Lunaus, was the first to hurry from the mountain-
ous regions of Transylvania to carry succour to the
head-quarters of the Magyars, then threatened
doubly by the legions of HavisAn and of PASKE-
WITCH, by the troops of Austria and by the hordes of all
the Russias. It was AuLICH who not only marched in
sudden triumph into the citadel of Raab, but carried
dismay to the suburbs of Presburg, and panic even to
the vicinity of Vienna. It was KLAPEA who, in the
neighbourhood surrounding the unconquered
garrison of Comorn, kept alive in the ago-
nies of a great emergency the flames of civic
ardour, and by the influence of his splendid
example induced the burgess to forsake his home and
the peasant to leave his fields, to fight as soldiers in
defence of their common independence. It was
Guyorr who, after raising the siege of Peter-
wardein, and routing the Croats under JELLA-
CHIcH, prepared to direct his energies northwards
against those who were yearning after his dis-
comfiture. It', was DEMBINSKI who, besides devot-
ing hts superb genius as a military commander
to the
contrivance of a plan of campaign, such as
will (even in spite of the disastrous result of
the treason of GEORGET) be remembered for ever
among the masterpieces of modern generalship, placed
his life continually in jeopardy whenever he deemed
that its exposure would be to the advantage of the
holy cause he had espoused. But above all, and
beyond anis in the estimation of contemporaries, and
in the recollection of posterity, it is and will be felt
that it was the immortal KOSSUTH who called into
being this gigantic and glorious movement on the part
of the Hungarians—it was kossuzu who was the
soul, tl-.e voice, the genius, th? head, the arm, the
inspiration of the Magyar revolution. As such his
memory will be preserved by the love of millions,
through all generations, among the names of those
wonderful men who have been the liberators of the
multitude, who have suffered and fought in the
cause of freedom. As such his name will be enshrined
in history with the names of the GRACCHT, with the
name of RIENZI, with those of BUUTUS, of EPAMI•
NONDAS, of TELL, of HoFER, of HAMPDEN, of
LEcTIDAs, of BoNNIVARD, and of WASHINGTON.
