Kossuih ON the War In Italy-Vehe.
ment DenunciatiOn of the Treaties Of
1885,
Or the 10th day Of May, few days prior to
bis proposed departure for Genoa, Governor
kossuth made very powerful speech, which
was listened to by large audience, at the Lon
don Tavern. He urged the neutrality OF Eng
land as the only position consistent with her
honor and safety IN the present crisis; pointed
out the leaning of the Ministry to the side Of
Austria; end argued strongly the necessity Of
Parliament and public opinion holding the Gov
eminent to strict observance OF their declared
neutrality. Concerning the treaties OF 1915, he
held the following language:
y now come to the pretended inyiolability Of
the treaties Of 1915. 1t is the more important
to have the mists of prejudiccs cleared away in
this regard, as it can admit Of no doubt that
should it so happen (which God forfend) that
England Were to depart from the principles Of
neutrality it would be done in favor Of Austria,
it would be done on the ground and under the
pretext OF the insiolabty OF the treaties of
1915. 1t is wofu to remember, my lord, that
the soveresns who, on pretence of asserting
the liberties OF Europe, ent!ced the nations to
shed their blood in streams for nearly gu ,rter
of a century, and 10 waste away the prosperity
OF generations for the preservation of dynas-
ties, at last requitted the deladed nations at the
Congress OF Vienna, by selling and bartering
them like cattle, and by treating Europe like an
allodial farm. Hear, hear.I Thus it is that
Lombardy, thus it is that Venice, the Fairy
of it, plr :,,1a 80
thirteen hundred years. standing, were tossed
over like cricket ball into the grasp OF the
House of Austria. Hear, hear. These last
forty -four years of Italian life, with their groans
with their ever-growing hatred and discomfort,
with their ever-recurring commotions, conspira-
cies, -evolts, rev olutions, with their scaffolds
soaked in the blood of patriots, with their hor
rors of Spelberg and Mantua, ard with the
chafing anger with which the words, "Out with
the Austrians," tremble on the lips OF every
ltalian-these forty-tour years are recorded il
history as a standing protest against those i'm
pous treaties. The robbed protested loudly
enough the compact of the robbers. fCheers. !
Ye-, torsooth, we are still told that the treaties
OF 1915 are inviolable! Why, have heard it |
reported that England rang with a merry peal |
when the stern, inward judge, Conscience, led |
the hand OF Castlereagh TO suicide; and shall |
we in 1859 be offered the sight OF England |
plunging into the incalculabe calamities of |
great war for no better purpose than to uphold
the accursed work of the Castlereaghs, and |
from no better motive than to keep the accursed
house OF Austria safes Loud cheers. In
vio.abe treaties, indeed Why, my lord, the
forty.four years that have since passed have
crlbbled those treaties Ike sieve. The Bnur-
boIs, whom they restored to the throne OF
France, have vanished, and the Bonapartes,
whom they prescribed, are restored. Hear, +
hear Two changes-the transformation of
Switzerland from a confederation of States into
. coniederated State, aud the independence of
Belgium, have been accomplished in spite OF
those treaties, to the profit of liberty; but for
The rest, the distinctive feature of the cribblng
process through which those treaties have
passed is this, that every poor plant of free
iom which they had spared has been uprooted
by the unsparng hand of despotism From
ne Republic OF Cracow, poor remnant OF Po-
and, swallowed by Austria, down to the free
lom Of the Press, guaranteed to Germany, but
educed to such condition that in the native |

vas not OF evil in those inyiolahle treaties has
