THE " KOSSUTH NOTES."

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department how Sir Richard Mayne became
possessed of, and who translated for him, " the Kossuth
Note," manufactured by the Messis. Day, upon which he
gave Sir Richard Mayne instructions ; and whether the
said note was the same that was afterwards exhibited by
Count Apponyi in the Court of Chancery ?
Sir G. C. LEWIS, having repeated some of the state-
ments he had made on a previous occasion, said he under-
stood that nothing had occurred in consequence of the
interview that had taken place between Mr. Day and Sir R.
Mayne since the statement he (Sir G. C. Lewis) had made
to the house. Sir R. Mayne became possessed of one of these
notes in consequence of its having been brought to him by
a policeman, and he wished to state most distinctly, on the
authority of Sir Richard Mayne, that he never employed
policemen, or other persons, to watch the proceedings of
M. Kossuth, and that he knew nothing about these notes
until the one in question was brought to him. There was
no person in Sir Richard Mayne's office that could trans-
late Hungarian, and the note was accordingly taken to the
Foreign-office when the document was translated. At
one of the interviews which had taken place be-
tween Mr. Day and Sir Richard Mayne, the former
stated that he acted under legal advice, and
he (Sir G. Lewis) acquitted him of any blame. The Go-
vernment felt bound to submit the note to the Austrian Go-
vernment,and he referred to the authorityof Lord Lyndhurst
and other learned lords to show that any person committing
what might be calculated to embroil this country with
foreign nations was guilty of a misdemeanour. He there-
fore felt bound to refer the question to the law advisers of
the Crown, who considered that the proceedings in regard
to the publication of these notes were illegal, but they did
not advise any indictthent or other legal proceedings to be
adopted in respect to them. •
