APPEAL OF THE AMERICANf3.
The following is letter dated at Hotel
de la Paix, Rue de la Paix, Paris, Sept
%, 18+9, addressed to Dabney s. Carr,
American Minister, at Constantinoplo:-
Columbia Irteg,uph.
Dear Sir,.-Your fellow citizens, Amer
leans in Paris, are filed with indignation
and amazcment at the attempt now ma
king by the Russian and Austrian Gov
crnments to destroy in cold blood, the he
roes of the revolution in Hungary.
The persons of Kossuth. BEN and
Dembinski, and their companions Of all
nations, are sacred on the neutral ground
of Turkey, by every law, human and di-
vine. TO surrender these patriots to the
brutal demands of their prosecutors,
would be cowardly concession and last
ing disgrace to any country, and we are
rejoiced to see, through the press, that
the Sultan has adopted that honorable
course which meets the applause of civil
lied men, and which will adorn the
brightest pages of his history. We just
learn that he has replied in the negative
to Russia, as well as to Austria, although
he has been threatened with hostilites in
case of his refusal, and their ministers
have actually left Constantinoplc.
1t is all-important to tho Hungarians
that the dignified and hosp, Hblc attitude
of the Sultan should be maintained. and
that Turkey should continue to be able
and willing to preserve the rights belong
ing toneutral powers. so that the fugi-
tives may rest in safety. That attitude
is made more glorious by the hazard of
having two despotic nations, now intoxi-
Gated with thci' successful purchase of
Gaorgey, to contend with; but, at the
same time, the danger makes it so critical
as to demand the support of ali civilized
people and their representatives,
The preservation of Kossuth and his
friends. who have been crushed in their
struggle for republican independence, is
peculiarly the task of an American Min
iotcr. The, chief Of the proposed victims

ton by his deeds and character; and his
companions, in councils and arms, are
made, by their sacrifices. worthy of a
place by the side of the heroes of our
own revolution. Kossuth and many Of
his compatriots haze already lost their
healthin the great cause of human, Iibcr-
ty, and, IL delivered, up TO the tyrants
who have ragsged their country, and on
