liz THE NAME OF THE HUSoAR1AE NAr1or-To
THE SOLDIERS QoARTERED IN ITALY.
Soldiers Comrades My activity is unlim-
tied. am about to fulfill my intent MY ia.
tent IS to free my country, to make her indepen-
dent free and happy. 1t is not by force we have
been crushed. Treason alone did it.
| swear that force shall not conquer us. nor
treason injure US again. Our war is the war Of
the liberty Of the world aud we are no longer
alone. Not only the whole people of our own
country will be with us, not only will those
once adverse to US, now combat with AS ia the
common enemy, but all the people Of Europe
VIII arise and unite to wave the banner of lib
erty. BY the force Of the people Of the world.
the tottering power Of the tyrants shall be des-
troyed. And this shall be the last war.
In this war no nation frateraizes more with
the Hungarian than the Italian. Our Interests
are one--our enemy is one. Hungary is the
right wing and Italy the left wing of the army
lead. The victory will be common to both.
! Therefore, in the name of my nation. have
made alliance with the Italian nation. The mo-
ment we raise the banner of the liberty Of the
world, let the Italian soldier in Hungary unite
with the insurgent Hungarian nation, and the
Hungarian soldier in Italy unite with insurgent
Italy. Let ALL wheresoover the alarm shall FIRST
sound, combat against the common enemy
Whosoever will not do this, he, the hireling of
our country's executioner. shall never more see
his native land. He shall be forever exiled as a
traitor, as one who has sold the blood Of his pa
rents and OF his country to the enemy
The moment Of the insurrection is at hand
LET not that moment find the Hungarian unpre-
pared; for, should it take them unprepared,
should our nation not improve the opportunity,
our dear country would be lost for ever, and our
national flag would be covered with ignominy.
know that every Hungarian is ready fer the
war of liberty. The blood shed by the martyrs,
the sufferings of the country, have changed even
children into heroes.
No nation yet rewardedsi brave sons so lib
orally as the Hungarian nation will reward hers.
After the victory the State property shall be dis
tributed among the army, and the families Of
the victims of patriotism but the coward aud
the traitor shall die.
And I therefore make it known to you, SOL
diers, in the name of the nation, that whoever
brings YOU this, my order is expressly sent to
you, that he may report to me the favorers of
liberty, in the army stationed in Italy, and that
he may tell you in my name, how you should
organize yourselves.
Accept the instructions that are forwarded to
you by the nation through me, and follow them.
Let it be so in every town and district Of our
country and everywhere.
Brave ones The Honveds and the Hussars
have covered with glory the name of our nation.
The world looks upon the Hungarian flag as the
banner Of liberty. We will preserve that glory,
and satisfy that expectation.
From Rome to the Island Of the Sicilians-
from Sava to the country beyond the Rhine-all
the people are unanimous in cry joined 10 the
clang of millions of arms. Let God be our Judge.
Down with the tyrants Long live the liberty
of the people Long live our country!
Brave ones BY this cry, your voice will be
like Joshua's voice, at the bidding of which the
Jericho of tyrants shall fall.
So order, in the name Of the nation. Let
every one obey. / will shortly be among you.
Au ReUoir. God be with you. KOSSUTH.
