KossUTH. - The Hungarian enthusiast
has denied, over his proper signature, the
paternity of the recent Proclamation bear
ing his name which was said to have been
sent to the Hungarian soldiers in Italy, pre-
vions to the recent ridiculous outbreak at
Milan. But he accompanies the denial with
a real proclamation of his, which is, if pos
ssible more absurd than the one that was
attributed to him. In this he tells his coun-
trymen and warns the despOts of all Europe,
of what he is going to do one of these days
But they will take especial care, now that
the short sighted mortal has given notice of
his intentions, that he shall do nothing of
the sort.
