Hungarian ExIIes.


Hungarians now on their way to the far West,
cannot fail TO be interesting to our readers.
These unfortunate patriots are the more wor-
thy Of the sympathy of the american people,
inasmuch as they have distinguis led themselves
by an energetic and courageous defeace OF their
ancient liberties, which has rarely been eqnalled
And they would have been successful in their
lust cause, but for the basest treachery.
Three of their best officers Captains BRICK,
LIcHTENsREIN, anu BUKoyITZ have been on
mission to Washington, Directed by the noble
KossuTH to apply to Mad'lle JAGIELLo, (now
Mrs. TocHMAK) to advise and assist them in
reaching the colony founded by Gen. UJHAzI in
Iowa . They have been entirely successful in
their mission.
II Is to be hoped that at no distant day, these
brave men may be restored to the land OF their
birth-a land now for the first time deprived of
its ancient liberties, and trodden under foot by
Russian and Austrian despots.
WASHINGTON, Sept 6, 1861.
Sir AND MADAME The undersigned, acting
in our own name, and as committee OF one hun
dred and twenty eight Hungarian exiles, whose
names Won will fad in tire enclosed list, have
the honor of presenting to you both, their most
sincere and respectful congratulations upon your
marriage union.
Nav it please Providence to pour upon you
happiness and success in the new path of your
earthly life. This, we assure you, il the senti-
ment of all true Hungarians who know you,
either personally, or by your respective services
rendered to the cause of your native land and
Hungary.
We, and our fellow exiles, whose names are
in the list, are those Hungarians, who last ar
rived to seek an asylum and home on the hos
pitable shores of this far off western land. Dur
ing the preceding two years OF our exile, we
sought and obtained shelter and protection in
Turkey Shuma was the place of our sojourn
during that time Justice requires of US to say,
that the Moslem inhabitants OF that eastern
city received and treated us with kindness and
social 'hospi aity, which greatly allayed our
other sufferings, whilst we were among them,
which only the political exiles can feel and ap-
preciate.
We proposed to establish Hungarian colony
near Smyrna, in Asia Minor. Our leader and
patriot Kossuth, approved of this place, and as
it could not have been done without special per
mission of the Sublime Porte, one of us, Capt
Brick, was delegated to Constantinope for the
purpose of supporting memorial, which was
presented to the Sublime Porte. Kossuth gave
the delegate certificate or letter OF general in
PRODUCTION, recommending him to all friends OF
humanity whose protection and support he
would require. The original of this certificate
or letter of introduction, written in the Magyar
and French languages is herewith enclosed
Delivering this letter to Capt. Brick, the Hun
garian leader, Kossuth advised him. and through
him his band of exies to proceed to this coun-
try, should the proposition Of forming colony
near Smyrna be rejected by the Porte-and he
further advised Capt Brick 10 seek aid and pro-
lection in this country, through your medium,
l.L.. f.s, ataf AZ ata and
ing which was fomented by some unseen agency
between the true Magyars and some foreigners
who, served in the Hungarian army, and came
here with the former as Hungarian exis, could
but cool the friendly and hospita6le dispositions
and sympathy of the people of this reputlc,-
and he said that under the circumstances OF the
present position Of the Hungarian exiles in this
country, Mile Jagelo and Major Tochman
may be Of some service in promoting our OBJ
iects. The plan Of forming n co,ony near
Smyrna having actually been rejected, because ol
the political objections of the Austrian and Rus
sian ministers accredited to the Sublime PORE,
we have come to this country. Our un-
> changeable design and determination is TO join
our patriut and countryman, Governor Ujhazi,
and settle in New Buda, a colony, which he
formed in Decatur county, Iowa, where our
leader Kussuth WILL rs he sid, JOIN us, If he b.
allowed 10 come here.
Just when we landed in New York, we learned
of your marriage unitn. Hearing that you were
somewhere at tie Springs, We postponed ad-
dressing ourselves to you.
We do /, now confo.mably to the advice OF our
leader Kossuth We bring no letters from him
10 you, nor to any other friend Of Hungary-for
none Of us could see him after the 23d OF Octo-
Der, 1885, which il the date heretofore alluded 10.
and the herewith annexed letter Of general intro
duction given tu Capt. Brick. We resp ctfully
bee YOU to advise with the friends cf humanity
and the Hungarian exiles about raising fund for
the purpose Of transporting our hand OF exhes
from New York to New Buda, which Is the
name tf the colony formed by Gov. Ujhazi, in
Decatur county, Iowa.
Ir the unfortunate Misunderstanding between
the Hungarian exiles, who first came to this
country, has in any way preiudiccd the public OF
this great country against us, we appeal TO you
Madame You are not n Hungarian lady by
birth, but, probably, you knew well the national
character of the Hungarian people, before you
left Poland and came to Hungary to aid her
cause Say, then, Madame, whether you have
any reason to complain against the true Hun.
garians. They respected you when you were
amongst them, at Comorn and elsewhere. Some
of us have seen you there; and we respect you
now, with grateful remembrance Of your services
10 the Hungarian cause.
We remain, with great respect, Sir aud
Madame, your most obedient fellow exies and
friends,
Noiar du Comte Forontal, Chief des
Emigris de Shumla.
