trian empire, and ruled according to the laws
which his good pleasure might give-notwith-
standing this proclamation, which severed all the
ties between Austria and Hungary, still we did
not even proclaim rupture with the house of
Hapsburg.
When did make the proposal more to ac-
knowledge the house of Hapeburg When got
true and exact intelligence that the Russian inter.
venton was decided on, and had been accepted,
and when had got, am sorry to say, the intelli.
gence that in order to avoid this Russian interven-
ton we had no help in the world-from nobody
no, not one. Here, overcome by irrepressbe
emotion, the voice of M. kossuth faltered he burst
into tears, and for some moments was incapable of
proceeding, while burst of sympathy broke from
the assembly. As soon as he had recovered ne
proceeded, still agtated :l-then considered mat.
ters in my conscience, and came to the resolution
that either my nation must submit to the deadly
stroke aimed at her lie, or if we were not towards
enough, not base enough to accept this suicide, it
would not be amiss iu pnt as the reward of our
struggles-our fatal siruggles-that which should
have the merit of being worthy the sacrifice OF the
people and if we had 10 contest with two great
empires, if We had no one TO help us, if we had
friend, and TO contest in our struggles for the iber
ties OF Europe, because now the Hungarian ques-
tlon Europe" high" ii assumed the dignity
OF a European stion--lf 1t was our fate to
struggle for the liberties OF Europe once We had
struggled for her Christianity, and ii God should
bless us, proposed as reward the independence
OF Hungary, and it was accepted [Cheers
That is the statement the brief-no, not the brief
but the true staten ent Of the relations between
Hungary and Austria. What was the result? I?
How we fell ll-let me not speak about it latter a
pa1sel-that is matter OF too deep to
dwell on. So much | say, that, though for
saken by the whole world, | am to-day confident
we would have been match for the combined
forces of these two despotcal empires, but that it
was my fault, and my debility that |, the governor
of Hungary, who had the lead of this great cause,
had not faculties enough to match Russian diplo-
macy, which knew how to introduce treason into
our camp [cheersl; but had | been capable even to
imagine all these intrigues, we should not have
fallen. AS it is, you know the house OF Hapsburg,
as dynasty, is gone it exists no more-it merely
vegetables. The Emperor only act by the whim
and will of his master, the Gar. If only the Gar
would not threaten every portion of the world
where the prayers for liberty rise up from the ma
ton to Almighty God - if the people of England
would only decide that the Russian should not put
his foot on the nations OF Europe-if England would
but only say Stop" It and nothing more-the
boast Of Paskievch, that he would put his foot on
the neck OF Hungary, would never be realized, and
Hungary, | sure, would have knowledge
enough, truth enough, and courage enough, to dis
pose OF its own domestic matters, the sovereign
right of every nation OF the world loud cheers ,
and to put down any aggression on her liberty.
Cheers.
