| Now of Batthyany:
1.-The vanity Of Antisthenes peeps throuxl, the
modesty OF the count and blinds him 90 far a. To
forget that since these last ten years he AZ wetf %
his cousin. Count Louis. fought many parlia,
mcntary battle under the standard Of this same
Kossuth whom he revilcs now; that they belouxsd
to his party long before 1S48J that they we're his
associates in more than one political and Industrial
enterprise The count forgcts that by his own con-
currencc the arstocratic constitution Of Hungary
was already, in l64S, relnodclied into democratic
one; that since the days Of March and April there
was no political difference between tie classes
In Hungary; that the count himsclf consented TO
abolish the feudal rights and to enlarge the fran.
chse nearly to universal suffrage. He forgets that
it was Kossuth alonc who at the time when Count
Louis Batthyany left Hungary without the means
OF defence provided for the defence of the BETRAYED
country; that when Jellachich entered Hungary,
and the Archdude fled and Count Louis despaired,
it was the eloquence Of Kossuth which gathered
the people on the plains Of Pakozd and led them to
victory. He forgets that at the time when our ar.
mics were defeated, and the capital lost, and the
country invaded from nine different points and
there were no arms in Hungary. and no powder
tor the charge, and sulphur 10 manufac.
turc tho powder, and no money to pay ths SOL
diers, and no hope in the brcast of the braycyt--
1T was kossuth, who, by the firmness of his will
and the resources Of his mind, raised ARMIES and
clothed them, and armed them, and ose1nxed
them and inspired the people with confidence, and
led Il from victory to victory, TIL the symbol CT

flew hastily hack from the Thciss TO The very from
tiers OF Hungary. And the count forgets that after
the deposition of the house of Hapsburp he did
accept the Ministry Of Foreign Affairs from the
hands Of the Governor. and took the oath to main
tain the declaration Of independence, and did be-
long to the administration Of his shighly coli.
vatcd' friend, b. Sxemere, Who without the pre-
vious knowledge of the Governor declared openly
to the Dict thar his administration was to DO re-
gets, even that after the days of Arad snd Villa
gos, already in exile, no countcrsigncd orders is-
sued by the Governor in his official capacity.
What IL now the value of those accusations which
are overruled by the conduct and the acts OF the
count himself WHY does he now sock technical
niccties to deny in Paris what he affirmed in Tur
key by bis own SIGNATURE Because he il ready to
treat with Austria, while Governor Kossuth nakes
no bargains with the encmies of his country
