has awakend and excited, TO action, various In
terests and influences in this country. The
fires of revolutions are believed by many not to
be extinguished, and that the flame will shortly
burst forth with terribly increased intensity
The sagacious politicians Of the United States
are shaping their course TO be on the popular
side here, in reference to the struggles that it is
believed are to take place there. The shrewd
merchant is preparing for the crisis, with re-
spect to the shipments he is to make, and his
returns. The Hungarian, or Kossuth reyolu,
tionary committee of this city, would, if they
knew how, do something, but they are utterly
inefficient, and should shut up shop. Thsr
continuance Of issuing Hungarian, or Kossuth
shin .plasters, wont do. II is said, some origi-
nay placed on that committee have backed out,
though no annunciation Of their resignation has
been vet made by the survivors. IL is said,
also, that one member of the committee made
the sale of forty thousand muskets, alluded to
by Governor Kossuth in his speech that we
heretofore quoted, and that the miskets sold
were scarcely worth. the two dollars each,
agreed to be paid for Them but we cannot
fully credit this report Whatever is the fact,
the Hungarian committee should forthwith dis
solve, and, unlike the Irish revolutionary CON-
mittee, shoulds make public expose of the
funds received, and the amount disbursed. The
prO,iunciameniO, or advertisement, Of the Hon.
George Law, in the form Of letter to the editor
of the Herald given below, covers the whole
ground of relief to the European revolutonists,
Hungarian, Italian, Polish, German, and French.
The enigres in England, it is said, have CON-
mand Of a large amount of funds. Mr. Law is
the man who can provide them with the needful
implements and munitions of war, on large
scale His letter is as follows:

DEAR SIR Recently in your paper, and in
sot other prints and in one not worthy of no.
tice, my name has been mentioned, and reference
made to transactions Of mine with which
neither newspaper editors nor the public have
any more concern than The public have in your
contracts with your paper makers or your news
carriers. My purchase from the government of
| the United States OF one hundred and fifty
thousand muskets, and my owning several mil
lions of ball cartridges, has been several times
alluded 10, and it has been stated the muskets
| are worthless" and were condemned" and
second hand" and that have sold them to
Governor Kossuth for So piece &c There
| is not one word Of truth in the statement that
any of these muskets have teen sold to Cover
ner Kossuth, or any body else, for Hungary
The statements depreciating.t the worth of the
| arms, denounce as Islander of my property,
calculated to injnre its sale. The muskets cost
the government, to make them, about SI3, and
they are worth that sum. They are new, not
SECOND hand" they are not condemned and
worthless arms" Nevertheless, as they did not
cost me and those interested with me so much,
they will be disposed of for less than half that

equal To ours. Ours are new and in good order,
Of the best manufacture, accompanied with full
accoutrements, boxed up ard in store, ready to

millions of rounds Of ball cartridges. They

be sold for any price, TO any but those who will
use them in the cause of freedom in Europe.

kinds, and for artillery, Dragons, and for rifle.
