Accounts from Europe speak of gen
eral expectation of revolutionary move.
ments during the present year. Kossuth's
last proclamation to Hungary, which has
caused great excitement at Vienna, is as
follows
BY ORDER OF LOUIS EossUTT, THE NATIONAL
CONM.rTEE OF INDEPENDENCE TO TIE NATION
Fidelity to the flag OF ls49 survives in
| the heart of our nntiou. Refusing to ac-
cept any kind of compromise, the great
majority of the nation is firmly resolved to
shake oil tue detested yoke Of German
domination. But rs the external signs Of
our national life have in recent times not
been in harmony with that resolution, our
natural allies abroad have conceived
doubts as to the firmness of our designs.
These doubts have been the greatest OBJ
stacle to the efforts Of our government
tending to the delivernnce of the country.
The removal of that obstacle becomes an
imperious necessity before the new turn of
European events-a turn offering pros
pect full OF promise to all tue people who
groau under foreign yoke. We must
give sign of life in order that our nat.
ural allies may be convinced that against
the common enemy they may surely count
upon the arms OF tue Mngyars. We must
bold ourselves in readiness, in order that
the les OF the terrified Austrians may not
entangle our nation in the snare. We
must prepare to be in n state to seize co.
orgetically the favorable opportunity
For these purposes the Governor, Louis
Kossuth, aboIishing every previous order,
and having judged it necessary to decree
the formation OF a new general committee,
makes known, by the present document,
to the nation, that in consequence of that
order the general committee of iudepen-
denCe is constituted that it has for its
end the realization of the declaration of
independence of l849, and that, full of
resolution and ready for all sacrifices,
it has taken in hand the direction of at.
fairs, according to the instructions re.
ceived, o. to be received, from the chosen
governor Of our country. The committee
expects, from the patriotic sentiments of
the nation, that the orders enlauating from
1t will be promptly executed ; that ITS iu- |
structions will be followed, and that its |
measures will be speedily accomplished. |
At the same time it calls upon the enc
mics, open and concealed, OF fhe flag OF
1919 to abstain from any plot or intrigue
il they would not incur the penalty in
tiicted upon traitors. At all events, the |
general committee of independence de. |
ClarCs that it will know how and that It is |
Determined, to secure obedience 10 its |
orders and the accomplishment of these
measures which it must take Long live
the nation aud good hope. Let every
honest patriot prepare himself for action |
Our motto is-ls49 and victory.

The following correspondence between
GAribuldi and Victor Hugo, is also strik-
ingly suggestive:
CAPRERA, Nov. 25, 1863.
Dear Victor Hugo: was certain of your |
assistance, and you must be certain OF my |
gratitude. What you say is true; and |

which would render war needless. /, like
you, await with confidence tue awakening
Of the people; but to realize truth without
suffering, aud following the triumphant
rond of justice without watering it with

who are the light bearer, to point out y
less painful way, aud for US to follow you.

and the most necessary, have their re-
sponsibilities, and you, like myself, are OF
those who dread for them the enormous
weight of drop OF blood unnecessarily

the ideal: and why not the ideal! When
the ideal is reached by men, and you your

we must fight the last battle we may be |
