10 Italy, although am not unacquaintod with the
aim OF the Italian nation as resumed IN the person
of MaZzini; still stand here to claim the sover
eign right of every nation to choose its own organ
ization, and "a will not permit any foreign nation
TO interfere in the affairs of Hungary, neither will
interfere with the internal affairs of Italy. Where
people obtain power by obtaining independence,
let them regulate their own affairs; and then II
they do not, when masters of their fate, do what is
best for the happiness of nation, then say that
such a nation docs not deserve to be happy.
[Heor.l Therefore. mix not with the internal af-
fairs OF Italy. We have a common aim and a COM
mon enemy, and we must work in brotherhood to
throw of the enemy OF our mutual Independence,
and to dispose each of our home affairs in an indie
pendent position Acting on that basis declare
that will do every thing possible TO accomplish
such unity In action with the Italian nation, and
believe that in saying so am speaking the senti-
ments of my whole nation. For the rest, believe
that Italy will feel the duty of not hurting the SOW
ercign right of Hungary to dispose OF itsef and i
my part, give the assurance thatI will have no.
thing to do with the interest or home questions of
the Italians"
NJ Kossuth then alluded to Socialism and Com
munism, and said that Hungary had nothing TO do
with these doctrines, because the people did not
want them. He entered at length into an expana-
ton of the reasons why Hungary did not want
them. The people have the land; and, had he re-
manned longer in power, he would have distributed
the public lands among the people

My sympathies for France arc equal to the admi'

not that the French people, Notwithstanding the
resistance its government and the opinions which
divide it, will still take the greatest and most gene

opinions which are discussed in France can
be applied elsewhere for the present. AS for me,

which divide France. ought only to occupy my

The London Times gives prominence to tele
graphic message which appeared in the Cologne
Gazette, of the lst instant, to the effect that Lord
Palmerston had addressed noto of excuse to the
Austrian government in relation TO the reception
OF Kossuth in England, stating that the agents of
the government had no connexion with it, and pro-
missing to do all in his power to bring the "mania'
to an early termination. The London Globe, how
ever-which ia Lord Palmerston's recognised or
gan declares that there ia not the slightest foun
dation for the statement.
