KossUTH's PRoPHEC1Es.-A New York
paper, in alluding to Kossuth's recent
speech, says:
This being the first occasion on which
the Hungarian orator and statesman has
appeared in public since delivering his great
speeches at the time when the. Allies were
just entering upon the campaign, it was
naturally subject of great interest in Eng
land, where his words Just now have great
weight The fact that his predictions, with
regard to the results of the years diploma
cy and fghting,~have been generally real
ized added, as we learn from London, to
the universal desire to hear him at this
time.
The speech thus alluded to was one in
which was compiled his former prophecy
together with its realization. In speaking
Of the Allies, he says:
AS yet the Allies have put forth only a
portion of their strength. The burdens of
the war have been scarcely felt, except by
the widows and orphans Of the slain. But
the time has come when we must go to
work in more terrible earnest. There must
no longer be any talk Of paying for each
campaign out of the taxation of the year.
We cannot pay as we go with such nigh
ty undertaking on our hands. We must
put forth all our energies, and spare no
money that our credit can raise. The honor
of Great Britain is at stake. If we do not
conquer, we fall back, and are no longer the
great nation that we were. We are no
longer the foremost in Europe: without
whose consent no hostile gun could be fired,
or an inch Of territory appropriated by one
State from another. We must not only
have men enough but money more than
enough and if the year will not afford it,
we must borrow of the future; and mortgage
the resources of our sOrs and successors to
pay the cost'of conflict, in which, if we
were beaten, we should have neither resour-
ces, nor character, nor standing as nation,
or sons that would not blush for the names
Of their fathers
And again, in reference to the policy of
the Allies with regard to oppressed Poland:
The present complications of Europa
necessary result Of the crimes and errors of
the past-cannot be brought to a definite
end without Poland acting her part. OF
two things, enc: either an insufficient ar
rangement, leaving the next future unset
tied and the war to recur again, more dan
gerous to some, more frightful to all who
are parties to it; or, the war carried on to a
definite issue This is the only alternative
In the first case, Poland may lose time, but
will not have lost her cause. 1t is Others
who will have to rue the imprudence of such
an irresolution. And none more than Eng
land, be sure Of it; England, the great na-
ton, which the Times contesses to be ''tot-
tering on the Gilman Of ats greatness" If
this war is not carried to happy deinitive
issue the next time it recurs, l apprehend it
shall be England's turn to present in her
fate a second Poland in her history-may
be, even here at home, who knows? But,
certainly in and about America, and in In
dia, England's proud standing presents
many vulnerablepoint So far, there is a
difference between Russia and the British
Empire, not to the advantage Of the latter.
England has many vulnerable point. Rus
Sia has but One-POland Woe to those
who, though at war with Russia, still dis
rprard that fact
