One ofthe principal persons of Kossuth's S

unbounded influence over him. Yet this
man comes on board with him as one of
the Hungarian patriots, (God save the

The French government, in my opinion,
was quite justified in refusing him pas

citable and unsettled state of the public

political animosities existing among the
different classes into which the people are
