To the friends and sympatbzers Of the Hungarian
cause beg leave to appeal As directed, and reques.
them TO renew their generous exerous now thst after
q period Of years since kOssuth's departure
from the United States, that cause is not merely on
the eve but in the actual Of practical solution
The sums at that time contributed have been long
Since expended entirely in preliminary objects essen
tial to the fuItherance Of the cause and now the
moment Of action having arrived aud the limited
1nesns Of the Hungarian National Committee being
currently absorbed by the local necessities 10 Europ"
additional means are required for toe Hungadaus in
the United States to facilitate their passage across the
Atlantic TO the Geld Of action II is hardly necessary
TO aude to the anxiety and mental torture Of the Hun
gsra1 now in Amencs, on daily rejecting that they
are prevented from joining their more fortunate fellow
exiles in Europe who near to the field Of action, are
cooperating in the solution Of that national 'ston
for which we all made every sacrifice ten years ago.
Bitter indeed must be the regret Of these PATRIOTS
If unable to realize that hope which has for ten years
Of exile been their daily thOught-to strike one more
blow for the lber y Of their fatberlaGd. Americans
whose struggle for independence is but of recent date
can fully appreciate such sentiments.
Shepherd Knapp, esq President OF the Mechanics
Bank No. 80 Wall street, New-YOrk, will kindly act
on behalf Of the Hung arian in this matter and
will receive contributions, which, from time to time,
will be published together with names of the donors
A Committee of American citizens is now forming in
NewYork City, which will apply these contributions
to the object in view All gifts of arms viii be gladly
received by the Committee, and shipped hence to Ge-
nos for the Hungarian service. Any Of the many i'm
provements by which the genius of the people of tue
United States has asserted its supremacy iu the arts
of war, az well as in those Of peace sil be highly
valued as appropriate Contributions and will afford
TO their inventors noble opportunity OF being prac
fcaly employed and tested in the field.
Wherever the friends of the Hungarian cause, in
any part of the Union, see fit to form Com"ttees to
.co6perate with the Central Committee n New-York
shall feel indebted to toem for an early intmstion
Of the fact, with the view of affordng them all in
formation and assistance in my power.
