uments alluded to- The writer in the
Journal of Commerce alludes, irst, To

written two days after. We have no
comments to make, ary further than to
say that these documents explode the
claim set up that Kossuth is yet Governor
of Hungary. Whatever may be the facts
in this regard. we do not see that it has
any bearing upon the discussion of A
merican policy.
