EsterRazy-B Bathyani-and Kossath..
The two former of these characters have |
had paper war in the London Times, upon
the subject of Hungarian affairs. The latter |
is "a brother Of the Minister who was executed
by Haynau. Though entertaining very OPP
posite views with regard to the Hung aran Re-
volution Of ls4s, they agree pretty well in re-
gard to Kossuth. We only give portion Of
what Bathyani, who was in position to un- |
ders,and him we'll during his government, and
who subsequently, shared his exile in Turkey,
says of him, emitting the remarks Of Esterha-
zy altogether. He draws the picture Of Kos
suth as follows: sza
"Defcient in the knowledge of men and
things, in the steadfast bearing, cool Judgment,
and comprehensive mind of a statesman, and
without the firm hand of ruler setting aside
all sound calculation, while he played game
Of chance and staked the fate of the nation on
the cast of die-encounteriDg danger with

self to he made the tool of every intriguer he
came in connection with-mistaking his mani
fold accomplishments and natural genius for
an aptitude 10 govern country in times of
trouble, and setting, in the flights of fancy, no
bounds to the scope Of his ambition-Kossuth

most impolitic measures, and grasped the high

to be wrested from his hands by the man whom
he had himself most injudiciously raised to
high station, and against whom, although he
had received repeated warnings, as we'll as
proofs, of his treachery and wCrthlessness, he
never dared openly and boldly to proceed-by
the man whom he had hoped to ensare, while
he crouched beneath him in abject fear, but by
whom he was finally outwitted."
In the following paragraph he seems to inti-
mate that the Governor can change his coat
upon occasion:
"The generous sympathy of the English ma.
ton cannot be quashed y.being told that Aus
tria was the benefactor of Hungary, while the
Hungarian Diet was factious assembly, and
the Hungarian ministers a set of rebels. In
doing honor to Kossuth, the English people
have shown their sympathy for the cause ofan
unfortunate country, that has been bereaved of
its chartered rights and liberties, and in foment-
this sympathy kossuth has been obliged TO
pay tribute 10 the feelings of legality tha,
animates even the humblest classes in England,
by eschewing in his speeches the demagogical
rant in which he had INDUCED only week be-
fore at Marseilles. The applause of the Eng
lish people was not given to the revolutionary
character of the man, but to the able manner
in which he brought the grievances of his coun-
try before them.'
Bathyani says he has no claim to be consid-
cred as Governor of Hungary, and that under
the circumstances attending his resignation,
the assertion of such claim is barefaced impu-
dence. lie speaks thereupon as follows:,
"The circumstances are these: He was sum-
moned by Gorgey and three members of the
ministry to resign. He instantly complied, aud
resigned the governorshlp without convening
the Council of State; that he was bound by
law to consult on every important OCCASION
He resigned without intmating his intention of
doing so to the three other ministers, fof whom
| was one,) and who were, consequently, quite.
unaware of the fact. He did not resign his au-
thority into the hands of the mnisters-as un.
der such circumstances he was bound to do
but into the hands of Gorgey. He even inves-
ted Gorgey with power and authority with
which he had not been invested himself-viz:
the dictatorship. He delegated power which
he only held himself personally, and, in fact,
Professionally, by direct mandate of the Diet.
He resigned in the name of the ministry, which
he had no right whatever to do.
"Although it may be safely affirmed that he
was in state of moral and physical coercion
wheG he gave in his resi- gnation, it must be
borne in mind that he voluntarily confirmed
this act when he was free from all re straint.
and could never be persuaded to resume his
abandoned power, neither at Lugos, in the
midst of General Bem's army, nor subsequent
ly in Mehadia, when Benz urgently requested
him to do so and try the last chance that re-
mained of success; to which request he again
returned a negative answer in writing. By
thus acting he abandoned Hungary to her fate,
and exposed all those who had taken part in
the war to the vengeance of Austria.
"He confirmed his avowed intention of retir-
ing Into private life by crossing the frontier and
entering the Turkish dominons before the ca
pitulation of Vigalos could possibly be known
to him, and while there were still fortresses and
armies in Hungary by which the national
cause could have been sustained. In his let
ter of refusal to General Benz he in fact sug-
gested the expediency ofcalling together some
eminent men in order to form q provisional go-
vernment. On his arrival at Widdin he again
publicly declared lin letter since pubished,)
his resolution of retiring into private life-a re-
solution which for a short time he acted
upon.'
THE HULsEMANN TRoUBLEs.-A despatch
from Washington states that Chevalier Hulse-
mann did address to the President renion
strange against the speech of Mr.. Webster, at
the Congressional Banquet. NJ. Hulsemann
explicitly stated that, if the sentiments of Mr..
Webster, encouraging part of the Austrian
Empire 10 rebellion, were endorsed by the Pre-
sident, the only alternative for the Austrian
Minister would be to quit the country. The
| President invited nj. Hulsemann to a confiden.
| tial conversation, which was accepted. Hull
semann was then informed, substantially, that
| the views Of the Executive were expressed in
the annual message to Congress, and in the
Presidents reply to Kossuth's address on his
visit TO the White House; that the Executive
| did mol endorse the speech of Mr.. Webster
With this explanation Cheyalier Hulsemann
expressed himself satisfied, provided he might
