Ksssuth, which will sarte into action the Christian
world that abldes in the United States, and which
may even rouse that most dormant Of all sympa-
thes, to be found in the hearts of the British OLE
garchy. BY the great HungarIans letter Of the
10Th ult.. from Widdin, it appears thatthe Sultan
asks the five thousand hungarian refugees who
are there imprisoned, 70 turn Turks, or he will
have to deliver them up TO Russia and Austria
that u to say, to the cord and the scaold. Unless
the dread OF repubbcansm is eth superior, at this
hour Of its apparent fall, 10 all feeling and every
other interest, the handful Of England's masters
who govern this crushed and helpless people, must
speak and act the side of humanity. tits doubt
full whether they will do anything, for they have
had three cabinet ceilings this week, to no pur-
poses which proves the extreme reluctance OF her
Majesty's government TO extend hand to save
the lives of few doomed and fugitive republicans
There lies the deep and damning offence of Losis
Kossuth. Like the rebel Washington, he il a re-
publican, who tolerates, and probably has pro-
seyted thousands, and whose cause Is not the
cause of England, but of America not of olgarchy,
but Of universal surage not of the few but of the
many; not of peers, but of mankind. To approach
ham, will be to spread the psstience of free inst-
tutiens, and the accursed idea of popular sove-
reignty. The creatures who administer the lives,
fortunes. and destinies of the countless millions
composing the British empire-about one-ffth of
the entire human race, scattered over every chine
get no sleep at night when they think of the
near approach Of Hungary to independence, and

day, all over Printing House square, publicly, to

love Of oppression, and in their scorn of justice

Nebuchadnezzar, the autocrat has been foot-locked

yesterday, their organ The Globe bestowed on him
the epithets "gentleman," imam of honor" and
exclaimed in agony OF thankfulness, that he had
pious trust In religion. Besides all these consde-
rations, there has been a secret alliance between
Russia and England, to get the forrnera seaport
