WHAT KossUTH THINKS or FRANoE.-TAe
Hungarian LeadeTs.-The following portion of
letter from Hungary, dated Pesth, July l, viii be
read with interest:
send you the present by the wife of trader
of Vienna, who is about to. Join her husband, and
who, thanks to her German origin, may perhaps
with impunity pass the hedge of bayoneta that
separates us from Europe. | take this opportunity
of warning you not TO believe theaccounts which
may reach you from the seat of warm Hungary.
You know that for a 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
victories gained either by the Austrans or the Rus
sians examine the story twice. and recollect that
retreat is not always defeat, and that even if we
evaeuate Pesth, town Of little to us in adj
ministratve or strategetic point Of view, the HIM
garian cause is not lost.

our supreme struggle with despOtism. When the
French Republic is spoken Of TO kOssuth, he says,
with a smile Of pity, Let us leave old men to die
in peace, and ask not from dotage what we can
only expect from youth. In the mean time, this
astonishing man displays an energy of which
l can scarcely give you an idea. Despite his pre-

He is admirably seconded by his lieutenants.
Georgey, wounded slightly in the arm during the
last battle, proves that revolutions only be ac-

and experience ever give way before youth, and in
every national movement the errors of ardor are
better than those of calculation Dembinski

You know this General, who gained every rank in
the French army. His dream for eighteen years
has been $4,000 men with whom to annihilate the
Muscovite empire. His dream is realized and,
though afar of my reasoning may seem absurd, If
In one battle Dembinski gains a victory Hungary
is saved, and the Polish General will enter Galieia

The Russian troops are demoralised. The
Hungarian war is unpopular in Russia, and if
