LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 19, 185

A sorrowful but dignified protestation has, within
the last month, been addressed to the Sublime Porte
by the late Governor of Hungary, from Kutabja, the
place of his imprisonment. In this eloquent appeal
to the justice of the Ottoman Cabinet, KOSSUTH has
exhausted the vocabularies of reproach and lamenta•
tion. His rhetoric appears in no respect to have suf-
fered under the deteriorating influences of incarceration.
On the contrary, his voice rises in accents more than
ever persuasive under the incitement of almost un-
paralleled wrongs, and under the anguish of
almost unendurable disappointment. He re-
minds the Government of Constantinople of the
peculiar circumstances attendant upon the arrival in
their territories of himself and his compatriots. He
calls to recollection the fact that the refugees from
Hungary came as expatriated unfortunates to seek
from the Sublime Porte either safe passage or protec-
tion. He reminds the Ministerial advisers of ABDUL-
MEDJID that their Cabinet opened its sheltering tent
to the fugitives—" it entreated us to cross the threshold,
and swore by its GOD and its faith that it would grant
us hospitality and a safe asylum." Allured by this
show of humanity, the Magyars trusted themselves to
the honour of the Turks with implicit confidence.
salt—we e ate of their bread," says KOSSUTH, " and of their
reposed under their roof—we prayed to
GOD to bless, and we offered them our courage, our
experience, matured by vicissitudes, and our everlast-
ing gratitude." What, however, has been the un•
happy consequence of this brilliant generosity and
this noble reliance ? The banished children of Hun-
gary have been kept in rigid seclusion in the interior
of the Ottoman dominions. For more than a year they
have been pining in bootless expectation of a release
that has not yet comforted them in their misfortunes.
" Pursued by those misfortunes," exclaims Kossune,
"we stopped before the threshold of the Mussulman and
asked from him in the name of GOD, in the name of
humanity, in the name of his religion, a hospitable
asylum or a free passage." How has this appeal for
assistance been responded to ? The hero himself
answers us, alluding to the conduct of the Turks
towards himself and his compatriots—" They
offered us hospitality, and they gave us a
prison ; they swore to us that we should
meet with an asylum, and we have found
banishment." Well may he cry out in an agony
of indignation—" GOD will judge, and GOD is just."
There is a tone very touching in the sentences which
follow immediately upon this ejaculation, sentences
eloquent in their simplicity. "We have suffered,''
says the leader of the Hungarians, at once their Dic-
tator, their Liberator, and their participator in cala-
mities, " we have suffered; but, for the sake of not
causing embarrassment, we have been silent. They
begged us to have confidence ; we have shown it.
They begged us to wait ; we have waited long."
Long! well may he speak thus, twelvemopths having
already elapsed since their first entrance into
the land of the Mahometans. In contradiction to
the apparent faithlessness of the Turks, KOSSUTH
points to the honourable truthfulness of the Hunga-
rians. " The Hungarians," he says, "keep their
word. Look," he continues, "at Bosnia, where
Mussulmans, subjects of the Sublime Porte, are in
revolt against it. A handful of Hungarians are in
the ranks of its soldiers. It is but a handful, for the
Porte would not accept more. Well ! who are first
upon the breach ? Who are first in the charge ?
Who are they who never retreat, who advance in the
midst of fire and grape-shot, bayonet in hand, to vic-
tory ? They are this handful of exiles. They die
for Turkey. The Hungarian keeps his word." From
this reiteration of the veracity of the Magyars, it is,
we conceive, sufficiently apparent what inference is
implied by the illustrious leader of the Hungarians.
While regretting the course pursued in this in-
stance by the Sublime Porte, we cannot but regard it
as traceable entirely to the unfortunate position of
Turkey as one of the powers of the European Conti-
nent, and not as in any way attributable to a want
of magnanimity on the part of its Government.
So many splendid evidences of liberality
have already from time to time been afforded
by the Sultan ABDULMEDJID that it would
be unfair to regard his conduct towards the Hunga-
rian refugees as arising out of anything but a miser-
able and unavoidable necessity. England is remote.
France is remote. Austria, on the contrary, is con-
tiguous, and so is Russia, and, through the Danubian
principality, both these despotic powers bring to bear
upon the Ottoman Government an influence scarcely
in any way resistible. KOSSUTH seems to allude to
this where he reminds the Sublime Porte that the
date of his emancipation was fixed at the indefinite
period when Austria should have thoroughly re-
established order and tranquillity, " the order," says
he, "of oppression, the tranquillity of the tomb."
" Well," he resumes, " she has re-established this
order, this tranquillity by her executions. She has
re-established it so far as to dare to provoke Prussia
to war; so far as to dare, trusting to the support of
her master, the CzAR, to encroach upon the nations
of Europe, to extend her forces from the Baltic to
Rome—so far as to threaten Piedmont and Switzer-
land—so far as to bribe the border provinces of
turkey to revolt ; she has re-established this
tranquillity—she has even announced its re-
establishment to the Sublime Porte—and we
are still prisoners." The subterfuge has conse-
quently been rendered by time sufficiently transparent.
Nevertheless, though delayed thus lamentably, the
prospect of ulterior liberation has not been altogether
denied to the refugee Hungarians. Our confidence,
in spite of every disappointment, has been at length
here verified. The protest of KOSSUTH has hardly
reached its destination before intelligence is
received that even the Cabinet of Vienna has
consented to the liberal project so long cherished
by the Government of Constantinople. Before
many more weeks have elapsed we may
have the gratification of welcoming amongst us, on
his way to America, not only the illustrious
KOSSUTH himself, but the majority of his distin-
guished fellow-sufferers. The LORD MAYOR will
consequently have, we trust, an early opportunity of
redeeming his promise of hospitality to the Hun-
garian Liberator ; and among the more remarkable
visitors to the Crystal Palace may be not only the fu-
gitive CABRAL, the exiled BRAGANZA, and the fallen
princes of the Orleans dynasty, but the European

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
M. DUPIN, took his seat as President of the As-
sembly on Friday, his leave of absence having ex-
pired. The Minister of the Interior presented a Bill
for concentrating into the hands of the Prefect of the
Rhone the whole authority, police and administra-
tive, of the city of Lyons. Urgency was declared,
and the Bill was ordered to be referred to the
B ureaus.

M. MAzzINI has wrote to the Debuts, denying the
authenticity of the m anifesto published in his name
simultaneously in that journal and in the foreign
correspondence of some of the English organs of the
reaction. The document furnished internal evidence
of its own falsehood; it was apparent on the face of
it that it was a clumsy forgery.
The Constitutionnel says that the three reactionary
clubs representing the Buonapartists, the Legitima-
tists, and the Orleanists,•have determined to petition
for the Constitution. This is, however, but the be-
ginning of the end of the party of reaction. Have
they determined in what sense it is to be revised ?
The sub-committee, on the proposition of M. Bezz,
for preventing the sale of journals in the streets, met
yesterday, and, after a short discussion, adopted the
principle of the proposition, but with a modification
permitting the sale in the offices of the journals, in
booksellers' shops, in reading rooms, and at the rail-
road stations. .

General FADVIER has laid. on the table of the
National Assembly a proposition that the state of

The Evenement has been siezed for publishing an
article against the punishment of death. It would
appear from this circumstance that the guillotine is
taken under the especial patronage and protection of
the reactionary party.
The committee on M. DE ST. BEUVIS'S proposition
for the abolition of protective duties has reported

GERMANY.
A letter from Stuttgard, of the 13th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, states that there is not the
slightest truth in the rumour that has been current
of serious differences having arisen between the
Cabinets of Wirtemberg and Vienna.
The Cabinet of Vienna, • in compliance with the
reiterated requests of England, have at length con-
sented to set at liberty KOSSIIi'II and the other re-
fugees, on the express condition, however, that they
shall immediately leave Europe, and engage not to
return without the formal consent of the Austrian
Government. One of the secretaries of the Austrian
Embassy has conveyed this decision to Constantinople.
We have received the following from Berlin, dated
the 15th in the evening :
" The Queen will not accompany the King to War-
saw, as was first intended. She is retained by indispo-
sition and on account of the death of the Dowager Em-
press of Brazil. The conferences of Dresden are
definitively closed. Prussia has rejected nearly all the
demlnds of Austria."
The following telegraphic dispatch has been received
at Paris :,—.

" BERLIN, MAY 20.
"In the closing sitting of the Conferences of Dresden
it was decided that the contingents of the federal army
should be held ready for certain eventualities. Some
plenipotentiaries having demanded delay in order to
obtain instructions from their respective Governments a
fortnight was allowed them. It was decided that pleni-

RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.
In consequence of adverse votes in the Belgian
Chamber of Representatives, the Ministry, finding
that it was impeded in its projects for financial re-
forms and in its plans for the execution of great pub-
lic works, resigned en masse on the 17th inst.
The Chamber met at half-past twelve. After
reading the proceis verbal of the sitting of the pre-
ceding day, the Minister of the Interior rose to
speak, and in the name of his oolleages made the fol-
lowing declaration : •

CREMORNE GARDENS.
Thee° extensive grounds, the must delightful place of
recreation within the confines of the metropolis, to those
who aspire to the economi al enjoyment of a summer's
evening alfresco, with luxurious variety, re-open to day
for the season of 1851. Air. Simpson, who so liberally
catered to the public entertainment last year as director
of this popular resort, has, during the recess, evidently
devoted his utmost energies to the production of novel-
ties of a highly attractive character, and to the develop-
ment of arrangements calculated to meet the demand for
amusement, so increased by the influx of visitors to the
Great Exhibition. Extensive improvements have been
effected for the accommodation and enjoyment of the
public. Much will be found that will suit the admirer
of the picturesque, and amuse those who seek the more
exciting pastimes, while, for the mere sight=seer there
are the Bushmen of South Africa and other objects of
curiosity, enough no doubt to satisfy his taste. A
circus is in course of erection on the grounds, and M.
Franconi, of the Cirque Nationale, is understood to be
engaged during the season. The brothers Elliott, of
gymnastic fame, are to exhibit feats of summersault,
barrel-dancing, sphere-vaulting, &c., and the Ethiopians
and other popular favourites are to exercise their vocal
and instrumental powers. The entertainments to-night
open with a " grand gala," called the Feast of Roses,
illustrative of Moore's " Lalla Rookh," a concert, and
a new fairy ballet, entitled the Star of Beauty. A band
of 80 instrumentalists, conducted by Borine is engaged
for the lovers of dancing, and s pyrotechnic display is
to conclude the amusements of the day. Those familiar
with these grounds will find that the maze has been re-
moved, in order to make room for the circus, to the
other side of the bridge, where a new and larger one has
been planted.
A private view of these preparations was afforded on
Saturday to a party of about fifty gentlemen, whom Mr.
Simpson entertained at seven o'clock to a sumptuous
dinner, worthy the renown of the celebrated host of the
Albion. Universal admiration was bestowed upon a turbot
of extraordinary magnitude, which rivalled in size that
famous fish of Ancona, the "spatiumaimitabile Rhombi,"
immortalised by the Roman satirist as having been pre-
sented with senatorial solemnity tithe last of the Twelve
Caesars. Grouped near the host were Messrs. Richard-
son, O'Dowd, Martin, Greene, Foster, Sterling Coyne,
Denison, Timms, Swift, B. Hughes, &c.; and the vice-
chair was amply filled by the Lord Chief Baron
Nicholson.
Grace h eying been said, and the usual loyal toasts
drunk with affectionate enthusiasm,
Dr. RICHARDSON proposed the health of the esteemed
chairman, observing that, although the Crystal Palace
was almost monopolleing public attention, he felt con-
fident that Cremorne Gardens woultleot fail to attract a
large amount of popular patronage. Prince Albert and
Mr. Paxton were levying contributions with extraor-
dinary skill and facility, but he would predict that Mr.
Simpson would come in for a fair proportion of the
" ready."
Drunk with loud cheers.
Mr. SIMPSON returned thanks in an. able as well as a
spirited and feeling speech, which wets., interrupted by
frequent applause, and concluded lanai* hearty cheers
and congratulations.
The VICE-PRESIDENT, in felicitoue4erms, proposed
" The Press."
Mr. MARTIN, being unanimously called upon, re-
sponded to the toast. It was always a pleasing duty for
the journalist to give lcgitimate encouragement to meri-
torious exertions, and Mr. Simpson's antecedents
afforded Lair promise of his deserving the support of the
organs of public opinion.—(Applause. Aberdeen
