Insertion, addressed to Major Dembinsh by Mrs, |
Brown. II contains important and very interesting
Information in regard to Kossuth and his family.
Mrs. Brown is widow lady, now some 10 years
81 age She is the sister Of the late Com Porter, and
mother Of John P. Brown, dragoman to our lega-
ion at Constantinople, who is now accompanying
Amin Bey on a tour OF observation of our country.
Mr. Brewn, in common with his generous and
noble mother, has always taken great interest in
behalf of the Hungarian refugees. Mrs. b. ar
rived a few month ago, IN company with her son,
from Constantinople, on visit to her native land,
after long absence, having been his companion
for many years in Turkey. We are very certain
that the perusal of her interesting letter will re-
awaken the interest In behalf of Kossuth and the
Hungarian refugees, which has been slumbering
for the past few months Last year, upon the ar
rival of the first refugees who visited our shores,
deep and general sympathy was extended 10
General Ujhszy and his companions, and money
was freely raised for their assistance. Never mas
there been time when the aid of the good and
generous was SO much needed in behalf Of the
Hungarians and never was there q cause having
stronger claims upon the hearts OF the citizens OF
this country. The Hungarians who have arrived
within the past year, and settled in this city, have
established society to aid their countrymen
as they arrive upon our shores. The gentlemen
comprising the society have determined to make an
eiort to raise funds whereby they may be enabled
to extend the hand OF succor to Kossuth and his
compatIiots, and provide the means to relieve the
daily calls smade by their countrymen when they
first land IN our city. A great many influential
citizens have proposed to unite with them IN getting
up benefit for Kossuth and the Hungarian refu-
gees and the meeting to carry into effect the de-
sign, will be held at the Mercer House, corner of
Mercer and Broome streets, this evening, 18th in
slant, at seven o'clock. Annexed we give the
letter from Mary P. Brown, referred to:--

Thing that concerns yourselves, but all that you

who brought the Countess Emily ID. 10 our honse,
and who returned 10 Vienna to bring to hossuth
his children, has returned to Turkey, and is at
kutaia, with Kossath and his family. The Austr-
ans had liberated the children before Madame
Wagner reached there, and had given permission
for them and their tutor TO leave Austria, il any
body would pay. their expenses to Turkey. Ma
dame Wagner, hearing this, was rejoiced, and in
disguise she found her way to where the tutor and
children were staying, and gave to the tutor the
money that hossuth had furnished her with for
that purpose and as public conveyance would,
in d few days. be ready to take them down the
Danube, they were to be on board in time. Ma
dame Wagner kept herself in strict disguise, as q
high reward was offered by the Austrians to any
one who would capture her, as they had learned
that it was she who had gone IN search of Madame
Kossuth, in the interior Of Hungary, in the midst
of those vast pasture lands, Inhabited only by the
pasurers and their horned cattle, and where, after
long search, she found her, and after encounter.

told Madame Wagner she had her carriage at the
door. The poor sick lady left her bed. with only
her wrapper, &c, on, went down, and drove TO a
place Of safety, leaving behind her two trunks
filled with the vaiuables Of kossuth, which she
had got possession OF in hungary, and was then
taking to him. With difficulty, she reached the

was still in strct disguise, so much so that when

steamboat, as II would stop at place where none
permitted to pass. She wrote on a scrap of paper
