The Free-so branch OF the Coalition boldly claim the

Of this Government boasts Of a correspondent in
the suite Of KossUTH. Whether it be the same or
another, it can hardly be doubted that the Wash
ngton correspondent Of the New York "Times I"
represents in the following paragraph of his Letter
of January 9th, the impression made by the pro-
ceedings in Congress, if not upon the mind of M.
KossUTH himself, upon the minds Of the persons
about him
" II is mistake to suppose that the passage of
the resolutions Of welcome [by Congress] to Kos
sUTH have no political meaning. They mean
much they indicate much. In the discussion the
issue was distinctly made upon the policy advo-
Gated by KossUTH. True, the result is no indi-
cation that all who voted for the resolutions are
ready to vote his policy to the fullest extent but
it is an indication that of them are prepared
to vote against it. Depend upon it, should the
question be presented 10 Congress tomorrow, Kos
sUTH's view Of the obligation Of tie great lqao Of
nations toould be e6ectuatly sustained"
Our respected friends in both Houses Of Congress
will we are satisfied be as much taken by surprise
as any body else at this construction put upon
their votes Of mere civility and courtesy to the
distinguished Hungarian.
