KOSSuTH

From the NJ Y. tribune of Sept /.
KOSSUTH.
This day we fervently hope, terminates the long
and dreary restraint in exile of Louis Kossulh,
the fearless self-devoted, high souled patriot on
whose honor and fair fame the INSCRIPTIONS
tools of Despotsm have done their worst for the
last three years. They have spent their strength
for nought! In spite of the immense advantages
enjoyed by those who had ample liberty and d.
| rect encouragement to utter their calumnies
throughout the world, while any attempt to relute
them in any part of Europe darkened by the
shadows of arbitrary power would have subjec-
ted its author to chains and penalties the truth is
still manifest to every interrupted heart.-
Wherever Freedom has an advocate or Justice
a defender theie Kossuth is revered and beloved
as one of the loest and truest souls that ever did
ard dared for Country and Mankind.
We believe the Ottoman Court had fully deter
mined, some weeks since, to liberale its Hungari'
an prisoners this day, and we do not deem it
probable that the threats OF Austria even though
backed oy Russia, can have overruled that deter
mination. Austria is unable at present to justify
| her menaces. She has an immense Army, but
| her dsordered Finances and deeply disafected
People will prevent her engaging in war with
Turkey. She is, while in a state Of peace,
enormously exceeding her income and is endea-
vorng without success to borrow millions to
meet the deficiency. How, then, could she
| invade Turkey on such pretext that afforded
| by the liberation of Kossuth The Rothschilds
would never consent to it, and the Austrian Court
| is poweress for such all enterprise without their
cooperation. We therefore anticipate though
| not without anxiety, the arrival of Kossuth in
this country before the close Of next month.
| The part taken by our Government in effecting
his liberation is noble one, and will secure it the
thanks of Republicans throughout the world
We trust there is no foundation for the rumor that
some American Diplomatic Agent (not Mr.. Marsh,
certainly had proposed that he should be lber-
ated on his solemn pledge that he would proceed
to the United States and never return to Europe
ao'thoM The consent Of Austria! That is a condi-
ton which no American should suggest, and which
the exiled Patriot should never accept. Our Gov
eminent has offered the noble Magyar an asylum,
not prson-hospitality, not longer chains. Aus
tria has no rightful power over hin--he is not her
prisoner-we do not ask her consent to his liber-
alton. We wish to welcome him to our shores
as freeman, not slave-an exile, not prisoner.
We are confident that our Government has not
assented to conditions inconsistent with this.
The following letter from Kossuth to his COM
patriots who were about to leave Turkey for the
United States, was written nearly year ago, but
has not hitherto been made public. We have
translated it for The Tribune because its senti-
ments, so Enthusiastically noble, possess pecu
liar interest in connexion with the writer's expect
ed liberation. He writes
"Io the Chief of the Hungarian Refugees 1oho are
