Prince Estsrhazy, ooant caaim,r sattny.ny, and
GOV. Louis KSssatn. .t
Before Governor Kossuih arrived in England nobody
could sumise the deep impression he has since made
upon the people The cause OF Hungary seemed dead,
and the noble hearts which had already shed tear over
the grave OF the once so mighty Hungarian nation were
ready to bid mournfu welcome 10 the exled chief, and
TO offer home, safe asylum and comfortable resting
place Tor The man thrust about by The chances Oh iof
tune But his arrival on the shores OF England was an
electric spark thrilling through the and the pow
of his eloquence, the purity of his designs. tbs cool
craftsmanship with which he steered through all the diff
heues thrown IN his way, kinded fire of enlh usasm IN
all hearts unknown in history since the time of Peter the
Hermit. His progress through England and America
was series OF trumphs never witnessed before the
people turned wherever he arrived by thousands and
hundreds OF thousands all the internal party feuds
forgotten in the oyaons prepared Tor him and the lead
ing statesmen though differing in opinion, united to
press their sympathy for his and their admiration
for his person In monarchical England and republican
America he boldly proclaimed his principles and his mis-
sion and the nations listened 10 his voice with respect
iu attention. and greeted him the OF the future
as the leader of freedoms battle the continent
1t the martyr whom they cheered for his past
struggles and suaerngs, but the apostle Of liberty who
had the ear OF the nations ready 10 act upon his eloquent
advice What modification for Austria and Russia =
what disgrace to their diplomacy! They had sue
ceeded by their combined forestry diplomacy and
treacheyto subdue poor Hungary and to expe the gov
ernor from his native country. They had succeeded TO
have him detained by Turkey, though unwilling to be-
come the ailer to Austria and after two long years he
was 10 be carried away from the Old World across the
waters of the ocean, the United States, where they
did hope that the kindness OF the people would detain
him by hearty welcome in every State, and IN every
city, until he would forget his native land or be forgot
ten by his country They had so well concoced the plan
that its failure seemed be impossible and yet they
failed because they did not comprehend either the great
ness OF his heart the power OF his mind They en-
deavored therefore, destroy him by caumny and Sian
der In Germany and in France, in England and in
America the papers were filled with invecves and
cusaons, now and disgusting. now artfu and
malicious They attacked his private and his public char
ter. There no baseness, no cruelty, OF which they
did him. They exaggerated and misrepesented
his words and fabricated false statements TO abuse him
But he did heed these continued attacks. He went
on in his holy mission and the calumnes left no trace
behind him. The world remembered that in the trumphs
OF the Romans the custom to have the hero follow
ed by man who reviled him ncessantly was neces-
say feature of the trumph and the world remembered
also that this official sanderer was always hired slave
When the Austrians saw that anonymous calumny
proved insufficient, they exered themselves to degrade
the cause of Hungary personal QUARREL in order to
drown the general interest in poemic about persona
ties They induced therefore, Prince Esterhazy to pro-
test in the London Times against Governor kossuth as
| the representative of Hungary. The poor old man He
had introduced himself 10 Kossuh on the 18th OF March,
lsis the of Vienna, while the Hungarian dep
uation was entering the city, cheeed by the people.
Prince Esleazy raised his voice, and in presence Of the
multitude he placed his person at the disposal OF Kos
suth, who then but member OF the Diet, and not
vet minister The name OF the Prince well known
in the diplomatic circles of Europe. and he became there
FORE our Minister for Foreign Affairs in the adminstra
ton OF Count Louis Bahyany, and retained his office
until the first day OF September when he resigned his seat
but five days before the ministry broke up OF nervous
temperament he is always in fear OF losing bis estates
He was frightened in March by the popular movement,
and he is frightened by the martial law In Disgrace
at court since s4s, he TO reesabsh his position
by his protest. and he protested accordingly But how
could he blame ministry of which he had been MEM
Der. To give some color 10 the retracton OF his pas
conduct he the ministry OF Louis Batthyany OF
wing published the deposition OF Ban Jellachch June,
against the solemn agreement entered into at lnspruck
tina, this publication should be delayed until certain
eventuay had taken place. Had this really been the
case why did Prince Esterhazy remain in office after such
a breach of confidence the part OF his colleagues
This the first question of every who reads the let
ter OF the Prince But the Aus,rans do not for the
logic and consistency OF the late ministers il is enough
for them that Prince Eslerhazy, allied in England with
the Vlies, disavows Governor Kossuth in the Times
And the Prince himself forgets that was his UnderSec-
rotary OF State. and that his correspondence with

the policy of his colleagues!
