Captain Long evidently judged Kossulh by
himself, for we take it he Just one Of that kind
of heroes that can crow like cock on his own
dung hill, but sinks away in the most abect ter

same day that the former letter was written, and
the following extract from hat letter, let's US into
Kossuth's views upon the timid, cowardly con-
duct of himself and the Consul.

people and hear their remarks, saying that they
have escaped from one prison, and are pris-

far as 1t has been published, in which the former
gentleman makes erparte statement of his
own course and conduct in the affair, 10 offset one
which Kossuh assured him he should publish up

caprces ofan insignificant French official, on the
part Of the officers of this Government, who are
concerned in this affair." as must make the cheek

outcast, did not forget that he was man, and
