Paris. II was written apparently som
time early in June. Our readers W i'll fin
it Intensely interesting:
On THE DANUBE, NEAR PARKAN,
On board the steamboat used as til
seat of government.
| write from the deck Of the vesse
which cauies the fortune of Hungary
our great our inviDcible Kossuth.
You have learned that an armed steam
er is the palace chosen hy the hero,
aoating palace which transports him Il
Pesth, TO Comoru, to Rabb, 10 Buda
wherever his presence is necessary.
Hardly does the palace touch the shore
before The popul alton, full Of enthusiasm
throng up from every side,
The red sword and the red cross al the
head Of the procession, the clergy come
followed by the people, who ourronnd
! Kossuth, Then there is profound silence
aud in rapid and striking improvisation
the apostle Of independence pres ches the
holy war, exslts the memory of the dead
besses, in the name of the FaIhe rland
the mothers who have borne such sous
and promises victory because the LorJ
aud his sword are with US.
Then the priests raise their voices 10
piuus hymns: every head is bowed; we
pray for the Fathe,laod, and amid bene
dictlous and good wishes, Kossuth re
turns to his floating habtatiou, which al
once moves wlth fuli steam towards nav
shores, where be electrlies other mas

What a nature is that Of this man! II

Once BEN had not slept for three days.
He was near giving out with fatigue; and
Ia the midst Of desperate battle, at
moment of respite, asked for cup ot

was engaged writing an order with
pencil, he had 1t set upon pile Of wood
a hand, over which E0aled The banner oil
Independence aud which was naturally
tie point aimed at by the enemy'a arDl i
lery. A 1lght o: shaiis carried away the
wood with the coffee, aud wounded Benz
sIEhtly in Que heel.
"Anolher cuF!" he said quietly, fold lug

lmplored him to change his position, aud

General rslused.

dependence of Hungary will no longe'
be dispuled !" he replied simply, witI
that soIi ard sad look winch GU know is
euliarto him.
Ii cannot be denied that there is a
provideujial aureole about the men

seen us at Peslh, a Gan, aud who knows
us neatly all, know tbis better thau an,
