but after six months of careful observation OF the po
litica movements in the capital my mind is entirely
changed. The President is more than match tor
all his enemies; and he will give them something
Napoleonistic by and by. Mark my word
The Means of Russia.
Gov. Kossuth, in the course of his speech to the
New York military, said
1.-THE whole power of Russia, or what it can raise
consists of 100000 men. This is the entire power
of Russia. And you must consider that 1t has an
immense territory and territory the population OF
which is oppressed. The tranquility and the order
of the grave, and not the order of contenment, can
only be kept in Russia itself by the armed power OF
the Gar. Now it is not much when | say that at
least 200, 900, or 100000 men are Indispensable to
keep up tranquility in the interior of Russia itself
100 900 men, at least it wants to guard its frontiers,
which extend from Siberia down to Turkey; lOO-
900 men it wants. at least, to keep down the ripe
spirit of oppressed Poland: Cheers Now take all
these together and you will that Russia scarcely
can, at the utmost, employ 800, 900 men for for
e1gn war And really, in any case, did she ever
employ more? History tells US that in the greatest
struggles for life, for existence it not able to
dispose of more than 100000 men, at most, for
"Now, the million of citizen soldiers of Hungary
would not want to be so brave as they are to be
match to those 100000 men. Great applause. j.
And therefore the first effect of restored indepen-
dence and freedom of Hungary would be, that should
the Gar of Russia-that arrogant mortal, but dust
in the hands of GOd-once more have the pretenslon
to put his foot upon the neck OF other men-as he
dared to boast he had the destiny to do-hs power
would break upon the first barrier-upon Hungary.
Not only would it break, but Hungary would as
saulted and attacked by Russia carry home the dan
ger to itself And it would find mighty allies in the
Russian empire. You know, gentlemen, that even
after the short war in Hungary Russia was Obliged
to raise loan in England. We would find in our
ally in Russia the oppression of the nation And,
of course steps would be followed and accompanied
by liberation and we would find to be our ally the
Polish Nationality which is not restricted in Poland
it is spread through the provinces of Lithunia,
Galacia, &C.
"This all proves that the might of Russia is not
so immense as to be intimidating in Just cause
Hungary once free. Russia would never more dare to
threaten European liberty. But if Russia is really
so weak as this, why do | ask your support and
your aid against Russian Intervention The motive
of my humble request is that Russia is very near to
Hungary Only at thirty hours one of its great ar
mics stands prepared to move at whatever tune, to
crush down liberty. So, being so near, these $780,
900 men of Russia, which it can employ for for
eign war, would crush down Hungary before we had
time to organize and develop our forces"
The New York Courier and Enquirer, whilst de-
monstratng very conclusivey the Impractical bty of
Kossuths schemes in this country, speaks highly of
him a 1t says:
'Freely as we have discussed the causes and the
principles Of the Hungarian struggle and earnest as
are, and ever shall be, endeavors to save the
neutrality policy of this country unmpared, we still
cherish sincere respect for the man Louis kossuth-
He is of the great, gallant spirits of the age-of
unquenchable enthusasm-of unconquerable cour
age-of undying patriotism-gifted with the most
splendid endowment; and master of an almost ma
gic power over the hidden energies of the human
soul If he has his faults he belongs to that rare
order of men whose faults spring from the noblest
parts of their nature. 1t is the very oftness of his
Imagination, and the very spirituality of his temper
ament that betray him into practical error Cues
ton his means as we may, we know that his ends
are high and his motives pure He is man of faith
and of hope-but, alas faith and hope that but too
rashly spurn the actual realities of life-that like the
faith and the hope of the Alpine hero of the Excel
sior, urges him into sublime untred paths, the end
whereof is glorious ruin. Surely. the generous, fer
vent nature of NJ Kossuth too quick to believe what
his burning earnestness yearns for ught to be dealt
with in this strange land with perfect fairness, and
if possible, be secured from imposition.'
The CIaret County of Medoc.
About couple of leagues north of Bordeaux COM
mences the caret county par erceence-the district
of Nledoc. Its reputation is of comparatively re-
cent growth The early wines of Guienue, which
were freely imported into Ems land, the strong
bodied and rough tasted products Of the oamy banks
of the Garonne Until within a comparatively late
period the land upon which the grapes of Chateau
A1argaux, Chateau Laftte and Chateau Latour, now
ripen, deserts arid and barren the neigh

solitary country of Medoc." Time rolled on, howe
YER; the demands of an increasing commerce plant

grown tract, which separates the black loan of the
Garonne, from the hot sand of the Landes: and the
marvellous properties of that gravelly region
soon tasted in the flavor of the wines which it pro-
duced Vineyards multiplied rapidly; villages and
hamlets rose thick the green expanse; the ra-
pldly enriched propretors of the most favored tracts
of land, studded the country with their white trim,

celed out the greater portion of it, into thousands of
Gus branches Of subsidiary industry followed the
march of the Vineyards Coopers poured into Me-
doc, establishing manufactures in every hamlet
while the cutting shaping and setting of the slaves
devoted to supporting the clusters of the precious
fruit, furnished a distinct branch of industry and
Medoc gradually became what it is-one of the most
famous Industrious and populous districts in France
