Kossuth's Opinions.

The speech of Kossuth which we published
few DAYS since, commands universal atten-
ton throughout the country, from the clear
ness with which it presents mis- views concern
ing the conduct OF the Eastern war. He
al.udes to the fact that some months ago he
expressed substantially the same opinions,
and that they have thus far been verified by
the result. The following is a passage from
a speech which he made in Edinburg, imme-
diately after the expedition to Sebastopol had
been resolved upon: dt 4s
q. 70 take an entrenched camp, linked by
terrible fortresses, and an army for garrison
in it, and new armies pouring on your flank
and rear, and you in the plains of the Criinea,
with also no cavalry to resist them. is an un-
dertaking, to succeed ia which more forces
are necessary than England and France can
ever unite in that quarter for such an aim.-
Ask about it whichever staff officer who has
learned something about tactics and strategy.
And in that position is Sebastopol, thanks tc
your Austrian alliance, which, having inter
posed herself between you and your enemy
in Wallachia. made the Gar free to send such
numbers to Sebastopol as he likes. b
= You aria be beaten, remember my ,cord
Your brave will fall in vain under Russian
bullets and Crinean air as the Russians fel
under Turkish bullets and Danubian fever
Not one out of Eve of your brave, fnrnolatec
in vain, shall see Albion or Gallia again. Blu
[ VIII tell you in what manner Sebastopol j
| to be taken II is at Warsaw that you Cal
take Sebastopol.
The event has certainly shown that in thes
opinions Kossuth evinced far more segacit.
| than the public men and writer's of Englan'
and France, who predicted with SO much con
| fdence the speedy fall of Sebastopol. 1t ]
now universally conceded that the. siege vii
/ be much longer and more difficult than va
4 at first Imagined Kossuth insisted from tn
I first, that Austria. by her neutrality, relieve
Russia from all apprehensions on that iron
tier, and that she could therefore pour reir
/ forcements into the Crimea to any extent
Scarcely man in England gave any heed
this suggestion the Government, certainly
acted directly against the policy which it md
| Gated. Yet the present danger has come en-
! tirely from that quarter IN. Y. Tintes.

How Il Fse,sSo be Shot At.

( A correspondent of the London Times, wri-
ting from the Crimea, of the battle of Ihker-
man, says:
] When we got. under FIRE of the enemy.
large guns, we deployed into line and lay
down, and remained one hour in this recurl-
bent position. with shot, shell, grape, canis-
ter, and every Internal invention for the de-
struction of human life. flying over and into
US, and all about us, fired from 80, "a and s
Founders. Just when we lay down, an is
FOUNDER shot struck and went through one Of
my front rank men, carrying away his pouch
and ammunition he was the third man on
my right, and I thought that things we're be-
coming serious We lay still for half an hour
before any of our artillery came up, and when
they did open FIRE. as you may imagine, nine
and six Founders could not do much against
heavy guns, securely posted in commanding
position, and well worked After lying down
for about ten minutes | began to get little
accustomed to the whiz of the shot and the
screech of the canister, &C., over my head,
and, consoling myself with the idea that if
there was one of them meant for me, / could
not possibly avoid it. / took out my opera
glass, and watched the proceedings of the en-
envy. In a very short time knew every gun
that would bear on my position, and you may
imagine my feelings when l saw those guns
discharged. The intervals between the dis
charge and the arrival of the shot, (Which
was sure to pitch near me, were not con-
fess, the happiest moments of my life. l can't
describe the feeling exactly. 1t was not fear,
but it was something of the same nature, ]
suppose At all events, it was very unpleas-
ant. Ifyou wish to have my autograph, you
had better keep this, as not aday and scarce
" an hour passes without some deadly missile
passing close to as, and perhaps some day one
of them may take afancy to my head, and then
you viii not hear any more from ''your own
correspondent at the seat of war" Just al
this moment, two shells burst close to where
/ am sitting, and one of the men has brought
me very ugly looking fragment of one o.
them 1 ain writing this on my knee under
stone wall. thrown up for the defence of the
picket DIy back is nearly broken, and am
perfectly bothered and confused by the inces
SAINT firing from our lines and the town, which
is now going on for its sixth day. | thinl
the Russian FIRE is slackening, but this maJ
be fancy. I shall now go, for "a change, tc
see if there are any Russians moving about il
our neighborhood.

The Russian Troops and their Habits


It is said that the Russian soldiers had been
literally supplied with liquor previous to the
cominencement of the attack ofthe 9th. Their
continued and loud shouting. and the impe-
tuosity of their attack, rendered it probable
that they were under the influence of some ar
tiicial stimulous of the sort. In the canteens,
also, of many of the killed on the field was
found mixture of raki and water The men
who have fallen into our hands, though gen
orally of short stature, are of sturdy frames,
with broad chests and well developed muscu-
lar legs. Their clothing is well made and
warm; and, though course in texture, an am
ply sufficient protection against the weather.
The voluminous folds of their great coats, the
sleeves of winch doubled back nearly as far
as the elbows, while the skirts decend to the
ankles throw the 'skimping' ordnance great
coats issued to our troops completely in the
shade as regards comfort an9 warmth. To
prevent the length of the coat from inconve-
niencing the wearer when walking the skirt all
around is made by a very simple contrivanct
to loop up above the knees. So, also, the
coat can be worn loose Ike cloak, or drawn
in at the waist. The men carry. with them
mitteus Of thick black cloth. the four fingers
being together in one, the thumb in another
division Of the glove.

The Boston Courier has, from the first, ta-
ken ground against the Allies, in there inter
ference with Russia. The editor in a recent
article, thus argues the case - 7l
"Franee and England opened warfare
with Russia without reason and without con-
sideration, andthey are reaping its dreadful
fruits in the humiliation of their troops, in
the fearful loss which has been entailed upon
them in the ill-success of their armies,-a loss
which has been felt with agony in every fam
ily in England that has had a representative
in the Eastern War,-and they cannot even
come out of the contest with any sort of glory.
They had no definite ideas of what they were
about when they began the campaign. and
their men in the Crimea have only sustained
themselves by personal yalor, while every
project of the campaign upon which they have
rentured was loose and unregulated. They
commenced an invasion of an enemy territory
being. in the language of the Great Fredrick,
'stoo strong for peace and too weak for war. !"
Then forces have been decimated by disease
and nearly cut up by attack. They have
gone upon war without calculating its
charges"

Starvation at the Lake Stations.

The inhabitants are leaving some of their
settlements on the Au Sable River to escape
starvation. A party arrived at Detroit on
Tuesday night, having left the Au Sable Riv-
er in an open sail boat for Point Au Barques.
Here two of the party had to- remain in the
light house for want of food and the rest,
with packs on their backs, walked thirty miles,
aud then took a boat to Port Huron. and
thence by stage to Detroit The Detroit Ad-
vertiser says: ~ a
The people at .Au Sable Station have been
Disappointed in receiving supplies. Only one
man there had his winter provisions when our
informant left, and he had refused an offer of
$35 for barrel of -four The boarding house
Keepers had given notice that they could no
longer provide their boarders with the food
necessary to maintain life There were at the
Station seven families and fcrty-seven boats.
On Thursday morning last, eighty-three men
started to walk by the coast to Saginaw
Some have, probably, not been able to bear
the hardships of the journey. and have per,
ished on the way. One man who accompanied
Mr.. Thompson came near freezing TO death.
He lay several times ON the snow. and almost
torpid. and it was only By great exertions that
hrs friends could rouse. him.
HI fact, all along the coast of Lake Huron
winter supplies are needful. We fear we
may, ere long, have TO record some sad cases
of death, occasioned by starvation and death
