LONDON, TUESD kY, OCTOBER 21, 1851.

The calumniators of the glorious KOSSUTH are
doing yeoman'i service to the cause of constitutional
liberty, by their constant attacks on its most illus-
trious representative, his It xcellency, the "de
jure' Governor of Hungary. We give to KOSSUTH
this his legal title advisedly—for the Red EMPEROR
is only ruler over Hungary after the same fashion,
and by the same right, that the late Mr. LEVI HAR-
WOOD was for a time despotic ruler in the Frimley
parsonage ; he has murdered some of the lawful oc •
cupaiats, forcibly expelled others, and, like his
pro,totype, is now plundering the premises.
Had the partisans and agents of Austrian
despotical in this country been content to have ob••
served a decent, becoming silence, or had they left
the dirty work of calumniating the Hungarian patriot
and whitewashing the woman-floggers of Austria to
those ingenious and Right Rev. Gentlemen who re-
pudiate, with the system of constitutional government,
the system of CorunNicus also, and who include in
offs and the same anathema KOSSUTH and Sir ISAAC
NEWTON, the glorious demonstration of the citizens
of Westminsteryesterday would, in all probability, not
have been called forth, and we should have been
without that clear, and forcible, and undeniable de-
monstration of the entire and strict legality of all the
proceedings of Kossuzu, and of the treason and
terjut of the Austrian EMPEROR (treason and per-
jury grosser than any ever committed by any executed
traitor in any age or country), which have been fur-
nished to us by the speeches of General Sir DE
LACY EVANS, M.P., and of Lord DUDLEY STUART.
That meeting, as was justly remarked by Sir DE
LACY EVANS, was assembled to do honour, through
LOUIS KOSSUTH, to the sacred cause of which Louis
KOSSUTH was tl9e champion. That cause is em-
phatically the cause of constitutional liberty, the
cause of right as opposed to might, of justice as
opposed to fraud, of legality as opposed to treason
and perjury in high places. To quote the words of
Sir lila LACY EVANS---
