New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1854-07-03

This eloquent agitator, after remaining eau.
tiously quiet for some time during the progress
of the great movement in Europe, as if awaiting
some particular conjunction of events and cir.
oumstances, appears to have aroused from hi
inactivity, and made up his mind to go to work
again What he will or can#do, however, to in
fuence the course of affairs, does not appear t,
receive much consideration from any body, ant
certainly does not enter into the calculations o
the great managers Of the game Of fleets ane
armies.
1t appears that he has been called out by hi
great fear that Austria is about to secure the
friendship Of the allied powers, by taking sides
with them in the present struggle, and thus ut
terly defeating his darling scheme Of making
the present difficulties the means Of rescuing
Hungary from the grasp Of her oppressor.
N. Kossuth, in recent address to the Eng
hsh people, declared that if France and Eng
land should humble the pride of the Gar,
obtain all their demands and bring about q
peace without having reestablished Poland and
procured the independence Of Hungary, the
people would find that their blood and treasure
had been expended in vain, and that they were
farther than ever from the realization of Euro
pean freedom and that balance of power for
which they had been contending He endeav-
ored to show that a coalition between Austria
and the Western Powers would result to the
disadvantage of the latter in almost every way j;
but in this attempt, however ingenious may
have been his argument, his success must GER
tainly have been very Indifferent it is not in

convinced against their interests.
He certainly has hitherto been very unsuc-
cessful in his attempts to get up grand indig-
nation meeting of the democracy of the world
against despotism, though it has been from no
lack of speeches and writings. He has, besides,
lost his reputation-if he ever had one-for
being a man Of practical availability for the
purposes to which he has devoted himself. He
has no doubt applied himself very closely to the
study of English opinions and feelings upon'th
subject, yet he does not appear to have learned
what almost every body else knows, that in this
as well as in every other matter, the English
will consult their interests and nothing besides,
except, perhaps, their pride. He will be about
as successful in persuading them out of the idea
of coalition with Austria, or any other
earthly power that should offer to make common
cause against the Gar, as he was in stirring up
the people Of America to an armed crusade
against European despotism.
We shall look to hear from him in Constanti-
nople shortly. making speech to the Turks or
advising with the Sultan and his Cabinet upon
affairs Of State.
GREAT CIRcuLATIoNs-IH Question Settled
The public will probably be disappointed to
learn that the long agitated question between
the Picayune and Delta. in regard to their com
parative circnlations, and the Post Office prut-
ing, has at length been decided, and, perhaps
altogether settled. The Postmaster-General, to
whom the matter was referred, declares that he
finds the circulation Of the Delta larger than
that Of the Picayune by several hundreds daily,
and he sees no reason to change Postmaster
kendall's disposition Of the Post office printing
We say the readers of the two journals will not
be oyermuoh pleased to hear this, having been
so long accustomed to the fun of the dispute

NEW PAPER.-We have received the first
number of q smart little sheet called the
s. Know Something" published by somebody
somewhere about town. 1t really does seem to
know a thing or two from the manner in which
it squares off and pitches into the press Of the
city. The Typographical appearance of the
paper is very neat, and the EDITORS portrait is
inserted in the head line with fine effect This
device is very ingenious and appropriate; the
face has an expression of comical humor, as if
something excessively funny had just turned
up on reversing the picture, however, new
face is presented, bearing most grief-stricken,
woe-begone expression, and appearing to medi
tate IN the deepest detection upon the trials and
hardships its unfortunate original is about to
undergo The convenience of this arrangement
will be readily appreciated when one under
stands that this latter feature of the picture is
intended to be used at such time as the pros
poets Of the paper begin to look unpromising or
