stained tyrant Of Naples, or the lavish cour-

We do no. speak at random about the
American officers in the Mediterranean. Our
information is derived from the best and
most reliable sources. They frequent Italy
and associate there manly with Austrian or
Neapolitan officers and dignitaries, aud ma
turally absorb and assimilate very much.
far too much at any rate, of their peculiar
ideas and animosties. 1t will be remen-
bered that not long ago an American
Commodore received the King of Ma
ples-a man notorious for his crimes, the
scorn of all freemen in Europe, COM
pared with whom the midnight murderer Is
honest and spotless, with all possible
honors upon the deck Of his ship; AID we
are credibly informed, that lately, when the
officers of the squadron got short of money,
the same monarch kindly supplied their
wants without interest or security vi
course, then, they adopt something OF his
likes and dislikes. But, however this may
be. we know that their associations in those
regions, and the opinions and sentiments
they acquire, are unmitigatedly Austrian
and anti republican. They learn there more
than elsewhere to despisc the people, and to
make mock of all efforts to free and I'M
prove them. And our diplomacy, we are
sorry to say, runs too much, though not al
together. thank God in the same bad
channel.
Is it surprising then that such men should
fail out with Kossuth Or that they should
write letters to this country such as would
delight the hearts of Haynau or Radetsky?
But here is Kossuth's error in this business.
He should have been more reserved and po
lite. Situated as he is, and because he IS
so situated, wise policy and patience ought
to guard every step and control every &C
ton He should have been especially care
full to do nothing that might. directly or
indirectly, ALLEVIATE from himself the con-
fdence of the American people. He
should have reflected that ships com-
pany could not represent the feelings and
opinion of nation, and have suppressed the
disappointment with which he found that
republican officers might be far from repub-
lican at heart He should have postponed
for few weeks the So much and SO justly
desired communication with his cOmpeers IN
the work of reyolutioDizing Europe, and
coming directly to America, should have Sc
cured the affection and support of the masses
in this country. In that way he would
have accomplished more for the object he has
most at heart, than in any other, and the end
would have been worth the sacrifice.
Two Europeans are more desperately
subtlest and most INSCRIPTIONS intrigues
than any other men we know of They are
LOUIS KossurH and JOSEPH MazzINI-
Each yields vast power in the confidence
and affection of his people, and In the fact
that he is laboring to destroy an Gillette and
outrageous dospotism. To their hands the
destinies of Europe are largely contded
and as things arc now going, II cannot be
long before the revolution they promote
AGAIN convulses that continent. We invoke
the day. Its terrors can bear no ccmpar-
son with the abuses and inhumanities that
now bear sway over almost all that contl-
nent. But wherever and however 1t may
come, we will say to those who rejoice IN or
who listen to this petty, talsbearlng, this back
stairs calumny about such a man as Kos
suth, that imputations like these can no
more blot his fame, or diminish his power
and his significance in history, than the
light and heat of the sun are extingushed
by the dust in the air that may temporarily
diminish its warmth ard its radiance.
