kossuth on the Present Aspect of
 the War.


 occasional contributions from the pen of M. hossuth, issued the first of the series entitled "The lssue," on the 9th inst. The whole of the letter IS commentary upon the last official declaration of Lord J ohn Russell in the House of Commons, Dec. 22d, that "we must have some security for the future The four points are preemlnently moderate; however, we ac- cept them. The English government has no "lSh' no desire, either to have Russia dismem- Dered, or have her deprived of any portion of her territory" Upon this statement Kossuth makes the following comments:
 The fact is that you, England and France. q mean the nations,) have both the will and the power to deliver Europe for all eternity from the preponderance of Russian despotism; only that your governments placed the issue in the hands ot Austria. The means of victory and success are within your reach; 1t Is but to strike q blow at the heart of Russians power--Poland '--only that your governments dare not resort 10 that means, because they fear Austria There IS the source of evll-the source of either your weakness or irresolution
 give It as positive fact, upon authentic in- lellgence, that they are perfectly aware at Vienna, of England and France having fear of Austria. They are very proud of it, and determined to profit by it.
 Now, there is the 2d of December treaty(?D with Austria. It does absolutely not bind Aus trla to become party to the war; but it posi- tive y is binding upon England and France to defend Austria, should she be attacked. No man Ill his senses should imagine that any gov ernment on earth could sign such treaty. There must be some secret article. There Is secret article. Its existence already we know, It's contents we shall learn by -and-by, and may have word to say about them, word address ed to the morality of nations.
 Nevertheless, be that secret article such as 1t may, human reason cannot possibly be brought to the belief that despotic Austria will draw her sword against.the Czar. The expectations held out for the I'd af January have proved already mere fudge; many 2d will do the same.
 However, 50 much, in the mean tme is cer- tain beyond the possibility of contradiction, that so long as Austria is permitted to have d voice in these transactions, 1t is absolutely i'm possible that anything could be somuch as con-, templated which would essentially reduce the power and thwart the weight of Russia in Flu rope. Austria will never consent to anything alike. Lord John Russell himself fairly in tlmated so much in closing the debates Oil the Queens speech. But it is not on this lai f. anG- half intinlation that 1 establish my argument: common sense is my basis and my guaranty And yet Eng iand and France handed over their very will, band and feet bound, to Austria by pIedgng themselves not even to entertain any proposition without the previous consent of Austria
 At this very moment it is not either the re- solution or wisdom of the English and French Governments the world has to thank for not seeing already an insecure and insufficient peace" patched up, but the fact that the amb- tlous Czar chngs too much to the prestige of his arms. Let something happen satisfying him in that line, and we may live to see the Czar say ing, "I am not able to drive you into the sea you are not able to drive me out off, town. Say great is the Czar and l will say great are Eng land and France, and let us shake hands" Her Majcsty's ministers will communicate the treaty to Parliament with satisfaction" of course. after the ratification, when there is no human help any more possible; then one nights stormy conversation in Parliament, with no division, or with a majority of or 38, and then "Rule Br- taln"-and day of thanksgiving--and " God save the Queen!''
 In the meantime the Turkish army has been divided; one-half sent to the Crimea-to perish there. Oh, there is nothing like dividing, if we wish to have no army at all. After Maya rino, Turkey has been left without navy. Af- ter Sebastopol, Turkey will find herself with out an army, and with her finances ruined; and she shall have nothing to lcarany more Noth- ing. The worst that could befall her shall have been done. She shall have no army and no money, but she shall have five protectors in re- turn, and three foreign fleets in her seas, and Sabnc+ono1c rclo integrity, and still more perfect independence, ofcourse--and thus the oriental question shall be definitely settled.
 Is it for such an issue that the British nation has taken up arms? Is it for this that the Brit ish heroes have thrown away life, and the Brit ish people its millions? Is this to be the conso- lation the British government means to offer to the moaning grief of tens of thousands of Brit ish families? And Europe, Europe with all its hopes,
 Sad to say, but such are the auguries of 1855.
 Well, let England do as she likes Europe despairs of her. Yours, men of Downing street! yours will be the responsibility if Europe, de- spairing takes advice from desperation
 You may scorn me, but have said
 And Is there no remedy against all this? Yes, there is. MT. D'Israel has pointed out the re- medy by saying-"No Austrian assistance, and no four points,"
 While have tongue to speak, and a pen to write, repeat these words, like Cato of old, his saying about Carthage.
 I certainly do neither care about, nor have the pletension to meddle with your petty whig and tory matters. But go upon principles There is principle in those words. And say, whoever be the men who will act on that prin- ciple, and carry out with mainliness, resolution, and consistency, history will bear testimony of them that they have served England well in the present momentous crisis; have spared Eu- rope many bloody trial, and have benefited humanity.
