KossUTH AND HIS Generals


This is the title of an interesting parro,;r,
embracing History of Hungary, and Of II,
incidents OF the eventful struggle for inderaDI
ence, written by Henry w De Puy ESQ ,
gentleman of fine talents, good taste and ora,,
personal merit The work was. We learn spb.
mitted to the inspection of Kossuth bim,.lr
and of Mr.. Pulsky. The latter carefully AZ
amined it, and expressed his warm approval os
it, as the most correct account Of the trars,,
tons it treats of yet extant.
We understand that Mr.. De Puv has anotb..
work near y ready, under the title of Lm;,

publish an edition of the memoirs of GorOev
with notes especially upon those portions where
Gorgeys statements conflict with those of Kos.

THE TREATY Or RECIPROCITY AND THE FISH.

This is, above all other questions affecting
our foreign relations the question of the day.
The proximity of these Colonies, their oneness
Of interest with the United States, their imagi-
nary separation by boundary lines and their
population, equal to all the New England
States, makes the question of our relations of
intercourse and commerce with them, as we
have said The question Of The day 1t has just
now assumed great interest, because our fish
cries in the Bay Of Fundy are liable to be in
teruptcd, and Mr.. Webster at last has been
reused up to the necessity of acting on this
question. MIR lamlin. of the Senate. has in
tlmated that tins Treaty of Reciprocity was to
be conducted under menace A most idle
superstition The facts will be shown. when
the correspondence shall be printed, that our

the Colonial Government of Newfoundland
has been earnest in their representations to the
Colonial Office of Great Britain, urging the
duty of protection to the fisheries of the Colo
NY And all these circumstances have been
politely made known to our Government. But
in consequence of the promises held out by
Mr.. Webster, that the United States were
taking the requisite steps necessary to put them
in proper position to present TO the Senate a
Treaty of Reciprocity, which should forever
settle all such questions the authorities of
Newfoundland have been treated as the poor
pipers COW, who. in default of hay, had a tune
played to her the burden of which was, Con-

DREADFUL CALAMITY.

A heart-rending catastrophe occurred on the
Hudson river, on Wednesday of last week
The steamers Henry Clay and armenia were
engaged in a race, the former having three or
four hundred passengers on board. After
passing Yonkers, the thrilling cry of Fire .
resounded from the centre of the vessel Panic
and confusion prevailed-the boat was run
ashore about two miles below Yonkers; but it
is supposed 100 lives were lost by the occur
renee More than 20 dead bodies have been
recovered from the water but as no list of
passengers was kept by the Clerk, no accurate
list of the number who persisted can be given
Among the bodies found were Stephen Allen,
ex-Mayor of New York; A. G. Downing, editor
of the Agriculturist, Newburgh; J. J. Speed of
Baltimore; a sister of Hawthorne the novelist
and many others The details are appalling

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL Sci
ENcEs. July, 1852. BY Isaac Hays NJ d. Phil
adelphia Blanchard & Lea For sale by Taylor
Maury, Washington, d. C.
The American Journal is one of the oldest of
our medical periodicals, but it falls behind none
of its younger competitors in adaptation to the
present wants of the profession.
This number contains several well-written
and valuable articles. The perusal of one of
Them on the use of phosphate of lime in phthisis,
prompts us to suggest that it is time that all
the recent discoveries relative to this disease
were posted up by some reliable and popular
writer for the benefit of the public. The med
zeal world is not'yet in possession of any GER
tain remedy for consumption when developed,
but if the knowledge already obtained on the
subject were in the hands of the people, and
faithfully observed three-fourths Of the cases
might be prevented.
To physicians, such a journal is indispensa-
BILE; and we think that other persons, who are
skeptcal in regard to the utility and progress
of medical science, cannot do better than to
take this or simila publication, and judge
for themselves.

LITERARY NOTICES.

REVIEW OF LORD MAHoNs History OF THE AMER
ICAN REVOLUTION. From the North American
Review for July, 1852 Boston: Little, Brown
& Co.
The author deserves the thanks of every pa
triot in the land for this able erposs Of most
fragrant instance of the partial and unjust spirit
which characterizes the generality of British
criticism upon everything american" He
not only accuses the noble Lord of grossly mis-
stating some facts, and wilfully or carelessly
disregarding others, but sustains his every ac-
cusation with quotations from, or references to,
various and incontestable authorities.
The latter portion of the pamphlet is devoted
to a generous, and it seems to us, completely
successful vindication of Mr.. Sparkss valuable
compilation of "Washington's Writings" from
the ridiculous and contemplate aspersions of
the noble historian.
The tone of the whole article is manly and
vigorous, yet dispassionate and liberal, to a
fault almost, in the face of such sweeping cal
umnies as many of the quoted charges and
statements contain. There are many interest
ing historical facts and incidents scattered
along the pages, which, being gathered from
sources not accessible to the general public,
add considerably to the intrinsic value of the
book

The text of the French constitution, which we

ables us to pursue the observations we have al

mountable obstacle to any acts OF the Executive
power, though it might still, if literally construed,
leave greater latitude for the expression of opinion
than the declared adversaries of params ntary 60.
vernment had desired.
OF the powers assumed by the President il his
own office, little need be said, for they override
every other portion of the government. We re-
mark, that while an oath of fidelity to tho coasti-
tuition and the President is to be exa,ted from the
embers of all the governing and Legislative as
fem bes, no oath is provided for the President him
self; but recent experience has shoF that moral
restraints are powerless such men, and ho has
ceased to acknowledge any legal obligation 70 tho
