thence it is said he went directly the hasd-quar
ters Of The allied army, where, according t, Mar
settles correspondent Of the L1ndOn Tinfs, he vas
to have an interview vita NAPoLEox and vIcrOR
EAAzUEL, for the purpose Of Organizing means to
secure the national independence Of Hungary, which
he affirmed the allied sOvereigns had agreed to re-
eoguiEe. He also ststed that the allies would lend
their aid to lberate Hungary from Aussrisn rule
This movement is remarkable, and is prospective
ly full Of Importance. Il is remarkable in more
than one respect, Permission even to llnd on French
territory, as mere traveller to England, was re-
fused him sumo ten years ago. when ss political
refugee he fled thither for shelter Yet KossurH il
the same to-day, holding aud teaching the same
principles the same adVoeate of liberal sentiment
the same political agitstor.
There may be some expIsnstion Of this matter in
The fact that then LOUIS NAPoLEox vas no greater
in the worlds estimation than KOssUrH, and that
the wlTmest sympalhies of European lovers Of free
dom we're Win the latter, and he showed himself not
wanting in the disposition to tske s1Vantage of that
synpsthy for the promotion Of revolutionary ends,
and that the former deemed it prudent, in view of
his Owu interests, to keep KossUrH clear Of France
France, has reached height in power and political
influence where he has Aothing to fear from Kos
sUT and the latter is to slip through France
under tie protection of the former, so that he can
reach point Wkere he can operate against Austria,
so as to avenge himself upon her for the oppression
exercised over Hungary and for the defeat that he
met with at her hands.
But here comes up a still more remarkable fes-
ture of this movement. In the correspondence Of
the English and French Governments, recently pub
lshed in England, Lord COwLEY represents Count
WALEwsKI as most distinctly dsavowing ell pur-
pose Of coutenancing revolution in Isly and Hun
gary, It is true that Lord CowLEY stated to the
French Minister that this assurance could have but
little weight, because Sardinia, entirely under
French influence, is directly encouraging revolt in
Italy; but Count WALEwsKI does not seem to have
admitted the force Of this remark, or in any way to
have qualified the assurance he had given in the
name aud behalf Of his imperial master. Yet it is
impossible to doubt that KossUTH has been called
to Italy by NAPOLEON III, for the express purpose
Of 'acting en- the Hungarian regiments in the Aus
trian service" as the London Times remarks, "aud
of producing, if possible, revolt in Hungary it
given By Count WALEwsKG to Lord CowLEY. Pcs
sbly, however, this departure from az avOwed pur,
pose may be defended upon the plea of unfor-
seen necessity.
But q graver prospective questio on arises, and it
is thus boldly stated by the London Times After
mentioning Gen. KIAPKA's proclamation, Published
at the French headquarters, in connexien with this
step by KossUrH, that journal says:
The meaning Of these proceedings Is not doub'-
fu. The Austrian Empire is 10 be att ,cked beyond
the limits Of Italy. The is TO be carried into
the oiher hereditary doninions of Francis Joseph,
mt, indeed, by French army-at le lst for the pre-
sent-but BY Revolutionary propaganda, supported
by the whole strength OF the French, and perhaps
the Russian Coart. Ii would be useless to affect
unconcern at this new development of FrancO-Rus-
sian policy. The consequences may be of the very
greatest importance. 10 the present state Of Ger
many the side, and the D8nubian population
on the other, second revolutionary outbreak in
Hungary may ght up war from The Baltic to the
Black Sea.
alt would seem that, while there is favorable
spirit among the people, the superior classes keep
aloof from the government, much after the fashion
of Lombardy. The most reasonable supposition
seems to be hat if lefl alone, the Hungarisns would
reconcile themselves TO the Imperial Crown, and
gradually forget the traditions for which they fought
under Bem and Gcorgey But they may not be proof
against the temptation held out by two powerful
despos, who threaten to crush the whole fabric of
Austrian domination When they find the Italian
peninsula throwing of the yoke. aLd when, by the,
most open and Ostentations means the French En-
peror invites them to the rebellion OF 1649 il
is possible that the stimulant will be too powerful
for the moderate party to eOuntersct. No one can
tell what another month may bring FORTH aud it may
prove that the promise Of "loealizng'' the war, so
often reiterated in April, at time when the Aus
trians in f2rce on Piedmontese territory, may
be dsregarded in July, when they struggling to
maintain themselves at the limits Of their own Ital
ian Kingdom"
The assumption that because KossUTH is to be en-
plOyed in sedueing the Hungarian soldiers in the
Austrian service from their allegiance, the Allies,
something more than the liberation of Italy, star
ties by its bOldness aud by its plausibity But
on sober reflection it becomes 8 question whether
the assumption is justified or the premises tena-
bic. Many reasons for his visit may be sup
posed quite as plausible as that assigned by the
London Times and none of them involving any de-
psrture on the part of LOUIS NAPOLEON from the
limits which he has himself more than Onee as
signed to bis present operations.
Nevertheless, this new relstiOn of KossUrH to the
Emperor Of France is calculated to awaken suspi-
eiOn that more than the expulsion of Austria from
Italy is contemplated. II the humiliation of Aus
tria is aimed at-if the liberation of Hungary as
we'll as Italy from her sway is determined upon by
the AlIies-a European, and not merely an Italian
war; seems inevitable.
