question of the age. He says:
Commerce, so far as climate and soil are
Concerned in Ininistering to its wants and in
imparting health and activity to its influences,
is based upon an exchange of the produce Of
one latitude for the produce of another, and
for the simple reason that the planter who
grows sugar in Louisiana does not wish 10 ex-
change il for Brazil or any other sugar, he may
exchange it for Brazil coffee, or for Brazil any
thing else that is not sugar. For this reason,
Europe, for hundreds of years past, has been
struggling for the commerce of the East"
and for no other reason than that latitudes and
climates, and consequently wants and pro-
duce, that are not IL be found or satisfied in
Europe abound in the East"
Several nations are the owners Of the ANA

the principal. Ia order to obtain the privilege
of navigating it, he proposes to offer in ex-
change to Brazil, the free navigation Of the

DEFENCE OF KossUrH BY COUNT PULszKY.
We noticed some day or two since, statements
of Count Batthyany and Prince Esterhazy,
with regard to the struggle for Hungarian In.
dependence, and the part Kossuth enacted
therein, the New York papers contain a reply
ofCount Pulszky. He alleges that Austria,
failing in her efforts TO crush Kossuth, as
last resort induced Esterhazy to protest against
his being received in Eng land rs the represen-
tative of Hungary. He then proceeds to show
that Estherhazy, as a member of the Hunga-
rian cabinet never before disapproved of the
act of his colleagues.
AS to the allegation of Count Batthyany,
that kossu,h is not the rightful Governor of
Hungary, he challenges an appeal to the
peasantry of his native country, of all clusses
| and convictions, and alleges that it was Kos
suth, by his burning eoquence, the firmness of
his will, and the resources ofhis mind, gather
| ed the people together, when their 'armies
were defeated, aud the capital lost, and the
country invaded from nine different points,
who raised armies, and clothed them, and or
ganised them, and inspired the people with con-
fidence, and led them from victory to victory,
| till the symbol of double faced Austria-the
! double-faced eagle-aew hastily back from
the Thesis to the very frontiers of Hungary"
Count Pulszky also asserts that but for Kos
sulh the cause of Hungary would now be in
d,sconsolate condition-that it was consider
| ed dead ere he was freed. He, and he alone
has reused up the public opinion of Europe
and America, in behalf of downtrodden Hun
| gary.
