United States is to instruct its Government in the
duties, such as Mr.. WALKER in his speech had
in part proclaimed, which it owed to other nations,
and even to itself The public press Of England
contributed its aid to sustain and fortify this lu-
sion Thus, considering the alliance between the
United States and Great Britain to have been made
certain by Mr. WALKERS and Mr.. CRosKEY's en-
gagements for the United States, the London
g Daily News" commenting upon these things ex-
pressed itself as follows:

On our own side Of the water, the coming pf M.
KossUrH had been heralded by certain presses in a
manner calculated greatly to mislead him, not to
speak of those inconsiderate readers who lcould
be influenced by such mere flights of fancy. The
press from which we shall quote examples of such
excessive laudation and exaltation Of M. Ko$uth,
in order to show our readers the extent to which il
has been carried is the New York "Times, which
seems to have devoted itself entirely to the nculca
ton of Intervention policy, TO suPerscdc the
present and we trust never-to-be-changed policy Of
the United States This paper, it should be under
STOOD is not long ago established in the dty OF
New York, under the charge Of gentleman former
ly associated in the Courier and Enquirer and who,
since his separation from that journal, has, made
tour in Europe and has returned home with some
ideas which are, as the reader will readily discover
not only absolutely in our political circle, btt
almost absolutely incomprehensible.
The first revelation, in this country, upon the
object of M. KossUTH in visiting the United
States-the first revelation at least 80
our attention-was in the following intimaton,
thrown out by the New York "Times" of Noyem-
Der g. on the occasion of the publication Of certain
letters from Marseiles giving account OF the high
tone used by him on board of the United States
ship-ofwar in that port In justification OF the de-
pertinent of the Ex-Governor, as complained OF by
the United States Officers in the Mediterranean, the
/" Times gave to the American Public the following
information, then entirely to us, as we venture
to say it was to ninety of the Amer
can People:
"Nothng could be more natural than the feeling which
is charged crime upon KossUTH in regard to the poi
itics of Europe and his relations to them 1t would UNI
questonably be thought very fine for Kossuth having
escaped from his Turkish prison. to abandon all thought
of further service to his country turn his back upon
Europe forever, and take up his abode farmer in
section of the United States. Expectations
have been formed in this country that this would
be his course and many respectable papers deprecated
the idea of giving him public reception, and pruden
tally advised that the money should be devoted to the
purchase of farm whereupon Kossuth might spend the
remainder of his days.
ssAl this is very WE'LL but it indicates gross isapre
henon Of his character POSITION. He Is no bfuxen
down aventurer destitute of purposes friends to aid
in their execution He has escaped from his Austrian
prison. but he has abandoned all thought and oil love
of his country made peace with its tyrannical oppes
sors lie has acork to do in Europe and are glal to
find he has the courage and the energy to enter upon it.
This, we repeat, was the first intimation that we
had from any quarter that the visit of M. kossUTH
to the United States was connected with "work which
he had to do in Europe" We were simple enough
to believe, with Mr. Secretary WEBSTER, that they,
the Hungarian and his associates, entertained no
hope thought of other attempts at revolution in
their own country.
What is jeered at by the Times" as a thing that
would unquestionably be thought every fine, we
have already shown, was the precise thought Of our
Secretary of State, when writing on this subject,
under the direction of the President, to our Minister
at Constantinope. 1t was the very thought express
ed in the Resolution of Congress in obedience to
which he was writing. Little did the honorable
Secretary think, we dare say that instead Of relas
ing gallant man from CALLING captivity, he vas

to present himself here, backed by the reception
given to him in England, to take :" position not
on the platform of equality enjoyed by all wellds-

ors such as it has never offered to any foreigner.
But we anticipate. On the first of the present
month, the same paper, noticing slightly the
opening Of the Grand Council of the Nation at
Washington on that day, thus prepared the mind
Of its readers for that transcendenty greater event.
