The reports from Constantinople confirm the
facts communicated to you by my last letter.
The predictions of Kossuth in his speeches at
Boston and Syracuse are fulfilled Russia is GO
ing on in her way to get the Straits and har-
Dor in the Mediterranean, and you may be sure
that before winter her army will again occupy
the Danubian principalities. lncendiarism has
subsidized at Constantinople, but the muftis are
yet exciting the people against the Sutana tho
he has dismissed his Reform Ministry, and re.
placed it by Russian partisans. There is but
one hope for the friend of Turkey-that is that
Omer Pasha, the great general, remains at the
head of the army. But it is not enough for
Russia 20 find pretext for the occupation of
the principalities-it is also necessary to direct
the attention of England and France toward an
other part of the Globe, and to involve them in
quarrels with the United States. The fishery
question has been settled, but Louis Bonaparte
has already proved his intention of meddling in
American affairs-he has sent his friend and
minister, NJ. de Persiny, to London, in order to
bring about an understanding as to the state of
Mexico, and he has declared that he is ready
to maintain the right of Peru to the Guano Is
land, which has been called in question by
Mr.. Webster-and as Lord Malmesbury is the
personal friend Of Louis Bonaparte, there is no
doubt whatever Russia will succeed through
him in involving England and France in dilii'
Guilty with the United States. The irst thing
is, of conrse, the meddling with the affairs of
South America
The last news from Austria brings several
sentences of the courts martial in Hungary,
among the those of Francis Dusehek, late Min
lister of Finance under the Governship of Kos
suth, and of Barren Nicolas Way, late Keeper of
the Crown, Vice-Presdent of the Council of
Lieutenancy, Champlain, Privy-Councillor, and
Commander of the Order of st. Stephen
Duschek, asfar as can understand, was not
a traitor to Kossuth, though he is often repren-
ties as such-formerly he was faithful servant
of his master, Metternich, then of Kossuth, and
after the 18th of August he put himself at the
disposition of the Austrians. He had no polit-
ical principles whatever, but was an admirable
fnancier, who slways provided for the wants of
Kossuth's Government and the army, develop
ing the resources of the coutry in such way
that the paper currency of Hungary was no
more deprecated, even after the second evacua-
ton of Pesth, than the Austrian notes. He
was sentenced to the gallows, and had his sem
tence committed to six years imprisonment. The
earear of Baron Way has been very singular
one. rich aristocrat by birth, uncommonly
handsome and eloquent, counrtyman OF, and
the same age as Kossuth, he seemed to be des-
tined to much higher position than the poor
friendless attorney, who began his political ca
reer with the Baron in the ranks of the oppO-
siton in the county meetings in Zemplin. Way
was elected Sheriff of the county and represen-
tative to the Diet, where he soon espoused the
cause of the Court. Though always profess
ing a milk .and-water liberalism, he was promo
ted to the rank of Lord Lieutenant, and Judge
of the Supreme Court, while Kossuth was yet
an humble reporter at the Diet. One year la
ter the difference of position was yet greater.
Kossuth was prisoner tried for his life on the
charge of high treason, and Way was one of his
Judges. The regular forms proceeding were
violated in this case at the command of the
Government One of the judges resigned, and
another protested against the encroachment.-
Way had not the courage to follow their exam
pie, but absented himself from the trial, feign-
inc illness. He was able to maintain his semi
liberal position for long time, and was elected
Keeper Of the Crown by the Diet, and named
Prvy Councillor by the Court, and in this po-
siton he always endeavored to make comprom-
ises between the interests of Viena and the
rights OF Hungary.
Surprised by the Revolution OF 1S4S, Way
became stanch supporter of Court Louis Bat
hyany, and sent by him to Transylvia as Com
missioner of the Government. But the time
of compromising was past-he was suspected
by the Hungarans, and denounced by the I'M
peralists. He made several blunders; Transy |
vania was lost-he was recalled by Kossuth
and nearly killed by the mob on his way to De-
Debreezn. But he now espoused the cause of
the Revolution with all his energies, and re-
NAMED faithful to the Hungarian interest, tho
he had before sent his son to the Austrian ar
my in Italy After the surrender of Vagas he
was also tried, but not imprisoned, and his case
fingered for years without a decision. In the
meantime he has been offered the Governorshp
of Hungary by the Court, but declined the offer.
Now he is sentenced 10 be hurg, but the SEN
tence committed into four years Imprisonment,
confscation of his estates, and forfeiture of all
his honors and titles. His estates have been
granted to his son, who had distinguished him
self as an Austrian officer in the war of Italy
The sudden changes in the life Of this man are
really like the incidents of a novel.
