WHAT kossUTH THINKS or Fran IT,
HUroARiAN LEADERs.-The following E,;a. -
letter from Hungary, dated Pesth, July xviii
be read with interest. "
81 send you the present by the wife Of trsA
Of Vienna, who is about To join her husband, and
who, thanks to her German origin, may perhaps
with IMMUNITY pass the hedge of bsyonets that sep
arates US from Europe. take this opportunity Of
warning you not to believe the accounts which may
reach you from the seat Of war in Hungary. You
know that for moment our country is an oasis Of
liberty, bathed by desert of oppression and that
the nature Of events in our land is at the mercy of
our enemies.-So every time you hear of the victo-
ries gained either by the Austrans or the Russians
examine the story twice, and recoect thata retreat
is not always defeat, and that even it we evacu-
ate Pesth, town of little use to us in an admins
traiive strategetic point of view, the Hungarian
cause is not lost.
"We no longer count on the aid of France in our
supreme struggle with despoiism. When tho
French Republic is spoken of to Kossutl, he says,
with smile Of pity, Let us leave old men to die
IN peace, and ask not from dotage what can only
expect from YOUTH In the mean time, this aston
Ishing man displays an energy of which can scare
ly give you an idea. Despite his precarious state
OF health, he does prodigies of activity. Seated
country car, with his wife and child at his side,
he crosses the country, calling the people 10 arms,
and communicating TO the Whole nation that burn
ing ardour which beams round his immortal face.
uc Arrives III the camp OF MS WARRIORS,
where, thanks to the Inconvenience of every popu-
lar war, want of provisions and ammunition drag
Encouragement in their train Then he rises on
his car and speaks, and at the departure of the die
tator the soldiers have forgotten their misery and
fatigue: they are full of enthusiasm, and ready to
Tight and conquer, were it only TO give reposo to
Louis kossuih and his family.
"He is admirably seconded by his leutenants--
Georgey. wounded slightly in the arm during the
last battle, proves that revolutions can only be ac-
compished by young and new men. Knowledge
and experience ever give way before youth, and in
every national movement the errors of ardour are
better than those of calculation. Dembinski, whose
force is scattered along the frontiers of Gacia is
trying to draw Paskewi,z into the country. You
know this general. who gained every rank in the
French army. His dream for eighteen years has
been 50 600 men with whom to annihilate the Mus
covite empire. His dream is realized, and, though
aiar off my reasoning may absurd, ii in one
battle Dembinski gains victory Hungary is saved,
and the Polish general will enter Gacia and the
kingdom OF Poland.
''Ihe Russian troops are demoralized. The Hun
garian war is unpopular in Russia, and If were
sure my letter would not see the light, would
prove this. Dembnski is general of Arlosto, 10
whom nothing is impossible. Sudden blows fasci-
nate and tempt him, in which he differs from BEN,
whose perseverance is his principal quality Benz
may be 5eaten, but never discouraged destroyed"
