MIR. Clay and Hungary.
Correspondence Of the ~. Y. Com. Adosrtise

Correspondence Of the ~ Y. Com. AdoUtiso.
WAsHIsoToN, January H.
M. Kossuth's interview with Mr.. Clay ID spoken
of as one of the most interesting and ahec ting cha
racter. IL has been well known that Mr.. Clay has
often expressed, IN the strongest manner, his en-
tire opposition to M Kossuth's views and doc
trincs in regard to intervention IL was and is his
wish to proclaim to the country and to the world
his sentiments in opposition to Intervention Some
persons have undertaken to deny this, but the fact
is 30. Because Mr.. Clay, in 1921, proposed to
knowledge the independence of Spanish American
provinces, il has been judged that he would favor
a doctrine that would lead TO inevitable war with
the absolutisms of tho Old World The fact is, that
Mr. Clay, while he expressed sympathy in the
struggles Of the Spanish Americans for national
independence, never dreamed OF recognising any
government but a government de fact0. The pro-
vnces, after protracted struggle, had actually
established and maintained their independence,
when he interposed in their behalf. The came
thing he would doubtless do for Hungary to- NOR
row If she maintained her Independence. But the
fact is, there is no existing struggle in Hungary
for independence or for liberty, much less is her
independence actually established.
We do not find that Hungary has many refugees
or exies She has few representatives OF her Sc
we're struggle abroad-not tenth part as many as
Poland has In fine, we have little actual proof Of
the existence of disposition, on the part of the
mass Of the people OF Hungary, to establish an in
pie enough in Hungary-some fourteen millions =
TO maintain their liberty if they wished it.
Suppose we should attempt to send supplies into
Hungary-hOw could it be done There is one
port-Fiume-- and that and the country around it
in the possession of the Croats, who more
hostile to Kossuth than the Russians and Aus
trians. Are we to send arms? There fifty
senas in Europe that contain more arms than a II
ours put together. Are we to send troops? There
are more soldiers on foot in Europe than there
were at the time of the battle of Lepsic But Hun
gary alone can raise million of fighting men
the intruders than with them. Major Hagadorn, !,
and his two hundred thousand bayonets which he
offered to Kossuth, need not cherish the conceit
that, nvncible at the militia muster and at the
polls, they therefore to drive the Gear from his
throne. Mr.. Clay, at all events, is neither Major
Hagadorn nor a Captain Bobadil.
Mr. Clay expressed much kindness for Kos
suth as any one has done; but he had risen from
his death bed to protest against the doctrine of in
terventiop.
