KossuTa's triumphant reception in England and the
United States, besides tending to console that illus-
trious man in his misfortunes, will inevitably prepare
the way, we conceive, for the ulterior liberation of the
European continent. Already the intelligence of the
welcome accorded by the people of England to the
leader of the Hungarians has carried dismay into the
councils of absolutism. A little while longer and it
will have awakened anew the hopes of the democracy
of Christendom, and have inspired in the bosoms of
the nations an irresistible yearning for their emac-
eipation. In this manner it will be seen that the
very crimes of the despots have brought about
in the end their own punishment. The avenging
cruelty of the Czau and cf the KAISER impelled them
to hunger for the life of Kossuru ; this lust of
hatred on their part superinduced the magnanimity of
the SULTAN ; the magnanimity of the SULTAN led to
the liberation of the exiles who had sought shelter in
his dominions, and their liberation has elicited from
England and from the United States of America the
expression of that sympathy which must ultimately
secure the blessings of freedom not alone to Hungary
or the surrounding provinces, but to the whole of the
great family of mankind, irrespectively of creed, or
caste, or country. Such is the wonderful sequence dis.
coverable in the carrying out of the almighty designs
of DIVINE PROVIDENCE—SUCh is the mysterious re-
lationship traceable between the wickedness of the
world's rulers and its final and unavoidable expiation !
It is from our conviction of the reality of these,
among the various consequences of recent events,
that we are disposed to regard with such peculiar
exultation the spread of enthusiasm visible on all
hands in reference to the remarkable man now
amongst us, with whose person are inti-
mately associated our ideas of the liberty
of the whole European population. If any
rronage who has of late years occupied

more than another identified his name with the cause
of the oppressel races of Europe, that personage ageisolia his various

to have permitted him to survive his last great
victory at Trafalgar. For in his regard,
says that
biographer,
"the people of England grieved that
funeral ceremonies, and public monuments, and post-
humous rewards were all they could bestow upon
him, whom the KING, the Legislature, and the nation
would have delighted to honour ; whom every tongue
would have blessed; whose presence in every village
through which he might have passed would have
awakened the church-bells, have given schoolboys a
holiday, have drawn children from their sports to gaze
upon him, and `old men from the chimney-corner' to
NELSON era they died."
