England and K0ssutll. s,
The infamous designs of Lord PALMERsroN up
on the liberty Of KossuTH viii recoil terribly up
on himself It is now conclusively shown that
his charges against the great Hungarian are al
together baseless. Mr. WILLIAM HALE, Junior,
has written q letter to the London Times, in
which he says th at the building, with its ammuni-
ton, reported to have been owned by KossurH,
belongs to his Mr.. HALE's) father, and is Moth
ing more or less than rocket factory; that the
Manufacture of these rockets has been carried on
foryears; that they have been repeatedly urged
upon the notice and patronage of the British gov
ernment, and that KosssTH had no connection
with the establishment in any way or shape. Be-
aides this Capt MAINE REID writes to the Daily
1smes, with the special sanction Of KossutH, as
serting in terms equally explicit that his distin-
guished friend had nothing to do with the rocket
factory, and that the statement the Times was
pure fabrication. His structures upon the lat
ter paper are as just as indignant. They are pep
per, sait and vinegar, with medicum of mustard,
-aall well rubbed in. We picked out few of
the most pungent titbits.
sA0nce more you have assailed NJ Kossuth-
once more you have shot your yenomed shalt
and once more, glancing back from the pure
shield of that gentleman's honor, year poisoned
arrow has recoled upon yourself Unscathed
stands he. His escutcheon is unstained. Even
your foul snk has not soilea it. 1t is pure as ev
er-spotless as the pinions of the SWANS the
wing of the wave-washed albatross.
*raYou have created an abyss of infamy. In
"a this you designed to drive N. Kossuth. You
essayed to push him from the cliff. Headlong
you rushed upon him; but, bliaded by bad pas
sion, you missed your aim. You have staggered
over yourself. aad your intended victim stands
triunphantly above you
From the declarations ofthe gentleman him.
sell, from my own personal knowledge of facts,
Ipronounce your whole statement regarding Kos
suth and his Rotherhithd arsenel, web of wick
ed falsehoods. But the cold-blooded audacity,
the Aanietic abandon, with which you have uttered
these falsehoods, and commented upon them, is
positively astounding. It is difficult to believe
you in earnest; and one is inclined to fancy you
the dupe Of some gross deception But the pail
pable dnimus that guides your pen will not per-
init this charitable construction; and we are pre-
vented from giving you even the benefit ofa doubt.
Wshays no alternative but to believe you guilty,
with deliberate forethonght, with with "maiice
prspease. .
know not what course M Kossuth may pur-
sue towards you Doubtless he will treat you
with thatdigni1ed silence he has hitherto observ
ed He can well afford. He need not fear to be
silent. He shall not lack defenders You may
double your staff of faeile scribes, and arm each
OF them with a plume plucked from the fGtid wing
Of the Austrian eagle. You will find among the
champions of truth brains as clear and pens as
pungent as your own; and though You may stuff
ysur columes with wordy sophistry, it will be
scattered like chaff before the heaven-born wind:
Irepeat it, N. Kossuth can afford to treat you |
with sublime silence; but Who am gifted neith-
er with the divine endurance nor Christian for
bearancenf that noble mani cannot help telling
you the contempt / feel for you and yours I feel
the paueisy Of language to express; and l doubt
net but. that every Engishfaan will experience
similar difficulty True, we might get over that,
BY borrowing little from your vocabulary, but |
shall not condscend to do SO. Even now, feel
that am sinking the gentleman, in coming thus
forward second time to call you to account.
Two things have been made manifest in the
course Of this dastardiy affair.
In the FIRST place, Lord Palmerston is a weak
and cowardly leader. He fears Austria. Why,
We know not. But the fact is certain. He never
would have made this guilty and sneaking over
tafe TO the double headed eagle, unless urged by
craven and baseless dread.
In the second place, the mass of the English
people have shown themselves right and sound
on the question Of foreign interference. They
have reafirmed in a louder voice than ever be-
fore, the freedom-the perfect freedom-of ref
ugees withing their borders. KossUrH is press
ed with kind and sympathising friends from every
quarter. A1lthe London journals, the mercena-
y Times excepted, are unsparing in their denun-
ciations of Lord PaImerston, and eloquent in their
defence of British faith and hospitality.
Its determined to adopt legal proceedings again
ct the Times, for its connection with this foul
transaction. .-Pla5n Dealer.
