KOssuTEH I'm WASHINGTON.

The following extract from letter from
friend at Washington, will be interesting TO those
who would like to have the impression of one
who has seen, heard and conversed with this IL
lustrious Magyar
The illustrous exile who has attracted so large
share of public attention here during the last
ten days, has left us. The prayers and best
wishes o.! aIl.he generous in Washington 90 with
him.
He left not as the 4" New York Express :"
would like to have us believe, without hope, for
kossuth is a man of truth, and exercises living
faith in the final triumph of the great principles
he so eloquently advocates. The wonderful
ness of this wonderful man in winning the hearts
of the people, is the result of his enlarged sym
pathy for the oppressed everywhere, and his own
almost intuilive knowledge of cardinal principles.
Here is one of his maxims Every law is a
principle, and every principle is a law. He is
equally clear and felicitious, in showing the ap-
pcaiions of principles and laws TO the affairs OF
nations and men, and alike powerful to sway the
affections end capliyate The reason Of all vko
hear him. In fact we may justly consider him,
as the Minister eniPotensiary of the enslayed
masses of Europe, seeking to establish DipIo-
matte relations directly with the people ofpower.
full Republican States.
May God bless and prosper him In his noble
efforts. There is no doubt in my mind, that
the present advent Of the great Hungarian chief
is to pave the way for a new era in the history
of Diplomacy, and the international relations Of
States. The reciprocal travel, the increased
social intercourse of nations, under the improy
ed use of steam, will exert hereafter, tenioC
more force, in modifying and improving the pol
litcal connections Of foreign States with eact
