Kossurn.-Whcn Hungary was invadedhy

med men were collected in a fortnight in
the neighborhood of StuhlweisSenburg to re-
pei the aggression, Kossuth issued a procla-
nation, from which we extract the follow
ing sentences:
1T IS an eternal law of God that whosoey-
er abandoreth himself, will be forsaken bv
the Lord. 1t is an eternal law that whose.
ever as8lsteth himself, him will the Lord as
slst. 1T isa divine law that false swearing

these eternal laws Of the Universe, swear
that my prophecy will BE fultilled-it is that
the trccdom of Hungary will be effected by
this nvitatsion OF Hungary by Jel!achich.'
This proclamation, which electrified tho
chlvalrous people to whom it was addressed,
concludes in a style notunworhy an Eastern
prophet, nor rmsuited to the genius and orr
GIN Of his race, by these words: Between
Eesprim and Weissenburg the women shall
dig deep grave, in which we will bury the
name, the honor, the nation of Hungary, or
our enemies. And on this grave shall stand
amonument inscribed with a record of our
shame, so God plnishes copcrdice :; or VIC
will plant on it the trees of freedom entirely
green, from out of whose foliage shall be
heard the voice of God speaking, as from
the fiery bush to Moses, The spot on which
thou standest is holy ground : thus do I re-
ward the brave. To the Maygars freedom,
