Amount. REMARKS
S. III. TURNER, Collector.
An AR,tEieatson.

His Exceency, Gov. Kossuth, in a very solemn adj
dress to the AHas newspaper has abdicated the high
Office to which he had appointed hnself-that of ad
viserGeneral to the British Parliament, people, Min
istry, ETC. He had undertaken in the most conde,
scending manner and with all that singular modesty
which marks the man, to dsabuse Great Britain OF
fuse into her some elementary notions OF her interests
her policy and her constitution none Of which she
had ever been able at all to comprehend, until blessed
with the radiant presence Of his anscendent nelli-
gence. 1t may be remembered, that this heroi2aI
parsonage, had with equal aitfidenGe assumed like
function in this country and lent sundry lifts, in
order to help us into proper conception of how we
might make figure in the world, how become ma
ton worthy Of his approval and how arrive at some
obscure acquaintance with the meaning and the max
inns of Gen George Washingtons advice to us, which
neither we nor the said George knew much about
1t may be remembered, also, that this universal sage
soldier and patriot laid down his selfConstued cOGn
sellorship, in some dudgeon at the thickness of
our skulls and the soWness Of obedience to his
modest and disinterested edcts, and Quilted u.s.
without having eased MS Of all the cash that he had
proposed to finger for our benefit in getting up Hun
garian revots for his 1t seems from the amen-
table tenor Of his letter. that he has been scarcely
more successful in his proposed patronage of English
politics than he was in ours For he depIores in his
epste the benighted condition of British statesman
ship and the general stoldity of the nation in paying
not the profound attention to his sovereign views
OF what was good for them. After properly charging
therefore, upon the benefit which they would have
derived from letting themselves be directed by him,
he formally lays down, with the most sublime subm-
lty, his dignity of contributor to the London Atlas
and dictator general of British politics. Henceforth
Britain will have to get along without his assistance
ana with no better resources than her own senseles
ness Of her own affairs. He throws up the leading
strings, and tlaty says she may go her own way in
asmuch as he could not help it. He will no longer
waste the pearls of his advice upon either her or U.s.
1t is an awful catastrophe! There can be no doubt
that the Emperor Alexander will take advantage of it,
and that it will go very hard with Britain and France
either in the peace which they may make or the war
which they shall continue. The date of his letter
December 90 lS55-will be marked in history as the
downfall of Britain, of France, and probably of
America. For he will, no doubt, also abdicate his
correspondence with the Neao York Times, seeing
that his letters there have produced no revolution in
our Government He may possibly withdraw into the
London Punch; the politics of which viii be much
adorned by his lucubrations.

The following is an extract from an interesting
letter of the editor of the ST. Louis Advocate written
while on a "journeyof pleasure"
odd you ever see prairie on fire? Perhaps you
have, but many of our readers never did. 1t is a
grand sublime, and to us it was, on Saturday last,
a terrific sight We were in the midst OF a large
prairie covered with grass full six feet high as thick
upon the ground it could well stand, and much of it
as dry as finder. For several miles had noticed
in our front and on our left, thick columns Of dark
smoke curling in the distance, and on reaching the
top of hill we suddenly beheld the fire some miles
ahead roaring and crashing, shooting up its flames
at least twenty feet high, and darting Gapng, and
plunging forward, like ten thousand ures bent on
the destruction of everything before them. The
wind bewa perfect gale, and Oil the fire The
roar was more like that of
"Ocean into tempest wrought
than anything else ever heard. One or two of
company had witnessed such scenes before. To me
it was new, and of the most sublime have ever
beheld. On our right and left the flames extended
for miles upon miles, sweeping over the wide prai-
RE as with the Bosom of destruction nor leaving
a stick or straw behind. Our condition would have
been anything else than safe but for the fact than
of the company was a smoker, and, being smoker,
he happened to have a supply of matches, which
now, in place of Lighting his pipe were found very
convenient to light the grass OF the prairie and thus
meet fire with fire. So while the flames were still
mile ahead, we drove to one side of the road
and fired the grass on the other side.
Away sprang the flames before the wind like in
uncaged eagle, and the wind fayoling us, we easily
prevented them crossing the road until space was
burnt into which we drove the horses and carriages.
and in safety stood to witness the terrible scene the
two fires produced The smoke and heat were severe,
but we escaped unburnt. Others may do as they
choose, hut will certainly never venture far into
OF these large paires when the grass IS dry without
having with me the to fire in seItdefence 1t
is the only way by which, under some circumstances
q man can save his life
have often heard and often read of fire on the
prairies but certainly had no adequate idea of it.
No tongue or pen could describe it as then saw it.
While looking on was forcibly reminded of an ex-
preston Bonapare is said to have used reference
on fire y and thought if Longinus had only wit
messed that scene he might still have improved his
excellent work on subtnity. We have yet to pass
some fifty Or sixty miles across prairie most of which
was unburnt when we went down. How it is now,
cannot say, but will most certainly carry the
matchesa
