KOSSUTH AND LOUIS NAPOLEON.

From al OccShoLA! NorltsPSreel|
LONDON, Sept. 5, 1859.
You will recollect that about year ago made,
throu Oh the columns Of THE TRIBUNE, some curl
Gus revelations in regard to certain Banya, his
mis,ion to Circassia and the squabbles hence arts
ing between the Hungarian and Polish emgrshons
1t Constantinope. Although the facts then stated
by me afterward found their way into the European
press, no attempt to dispute their accuracy has
ever been ventured upon. 1 have now to call the
attention of your readers to another secret chapter
Of eotemporaneous history; mean the connection
between Kossuth and Bonsparte. ltcannot longer
be tolerated that the same men should receive with
the one hand the psy of the ASSASSIN of the French
Republic, and in the other hand hoist the banner
of liberty; that they should play the part OF both
martyrs and courtiers; that, having become the
tools of an strocious usurper, they should still e1-
hbit themselves as the organs of an oppressed ma
ton think the moment the more opportune for
revealing facts long known to me, as Bona
parte and bis sycophants, Ko'suth and his parti-
sans, are equally busy in throwing vail over trans
actions which could not fail to compromise the one
before the monarchs, and the other before the peo-
pies of the world.
It will be admitted by the most prejudced ad-
mirers of Mr. Kossuth that, whatever his other ac-
compliments may be, he has always sadly lacked
one great quality-that of consistency. During
the whole course of his life be has more resembled
the improrisatore receiving his Impressions from
his audience than the author imprinting bis own
original ideas upon the world. This inconsistency
of thought could not but reflect itself in dupcity
of action A few facts may illustrate the truth Of
this assertion. At Kutaya, Mr.. Kossuth entered
into an intimate liaison with Mr.. David Urquhart,
and, accepting at once the prejudicesOf that 70
mantle Highlander, he did not hesitate to pass SEN
tence on Mazzini as Russian agent. He formally
pledged himself to keep slOof from Mazzni. But
be had hardly arrived at London when be formed
triumyirste with Mazzini and Ledru ROllin. The
incontestible proofs of this double dealing have
been laid before the British public in the corre-
spondence carried on between l.. KOssuth and
David Urqubart, which the latter gentleman has
printed in The London Free Press. In the frst
speech Mr.. Kossuth made on landing on the En-
slish coast, be called Palmerston the friend of his
bosom PalmerstOn, through the fundamentally
of a we'll known member Of Parliament, intimated
to Kossuth his desire to receive the latter at his
mansion KOsauth demanded ~ be received by
the British Minister as Governor of Hungary,
request which, of course, was at once scOrntully
rejected. Mr.. Kossuth, on his part, now gave,
through Mr. Urquhart and other acquaintance Of
his, the British public to understand that he had
rejected Pslmerston's invitation because he had
made sure from a close study at Kutaya of the
Blue Book relating to Hungarian affairs, that Pal
merston, ~" friend of his BOSOM" had, in secret
understanding with the Court Of st. Petersburg,
played the traitor to "dear Hungary" In 1853,
when Mszzinan tmeme broke out at Milan, there
appeared on the walls of that town proclamation
addressed to the Hungarian soldiers calling upon
them to side with the Italian insurrectonists, and
bearing the signature of Louis Kossuth. The
tmeute turning out failure, Mr.. KOssuth, through
the medium of the London newspapers, FASTENED
to declare the proclamation forgery, thus giving
public dtmtnh to bis friend MszzDi. Neverthe-
less, the proclamation nas genuine. Mszzini Ind
acted in concert with Kossuth.
Proceeding upon the settled conviction that to
subyert Austrian tyranny the united action Of
Hungary and Italy was indispensable, Mazzini for
some tine tried to replace Kossuth by a more
trustworthy Hungarian leader, but his efforts
splitting on the dissenslons of the Hungarian
emigration, he magnanimously pardOned his
uncertain ally, and spared him an exposure that
would have ruined Kossuth's position in England.
To draw nearer to present times, I may call
% AZ hat IN, AMIR Of
Dir. Kossuth made tour through Scotland, deliver
ing lectures in different towns, and soemnly warn
ing the British against Louis Bonaparte's
trescherous designs. Take, for instance, the fol-
lowing extract of lecture delivered at Glasgow,
on Nov. CO. 1853:
81 have" said Mr.. kcssuth, ALREADY alluded, in
nv other lecture, to the broth Of national hatred
which Louis Bonsparte is brewing | do not mean to
psnuae that he is medtsting invasion Of this ooun
try: 10 doubt he would only like the fox in the
fable he does lot hAe grapes. 1t is not long ago
that with the exception, perhaps, OF the gentlemen Of
ST. Petersburg, WHO very likely know all about the
mystery, LOUIS Bonaparte put the whole diplomacy OF
the world to their wits end by his gigantic preparations
at Cherbourg, pushed on to the last shilling Of his
empty treasury, and with haste ss If his existence
was depending on minute gained Cher

He meditates lew conflict in the East iD company
with Russia. IL this conflict he means to check the

to strike deadly blow al your vital interests in the
