letter from Pesth in the PARIS Patrie has

'Klapka, the defender of Comorn. is at present |
here. The part taken by that General IN the
Hungarian war will not have been forgotten
He returns here without any feeling OF Jealousy |
or personal ambition, and avoids the curiosity |
of the people as much as Kossuth courts 1t.
There is scarcely shop window without por- |
trait OF the ex-Dictator. These are OF three
sOrts-frst, Kossuth as student, the counte-
nance bearing already serious cast; the second
rs Dictator, with the chc eks hollow and the
look fixed, seeming TO say, Admire me;' and the
third as an exile, with the upper portion of the
forehead bald, the beard long the eyes without
fire, and the physioenomy appearing to seek to
represent moral suffering.
''Do you sell many of those portraitsT l
asked o printseller. Very few, he replied;
'Kossuth nowexctes butlittle interest among us.
He was always prouder than the most naughty
magnate, and even abroad he turned his back
on such of bis countrymen as did not salute him
with the title of eXcellency. la fact, We have
now a king, and the days OF dictatorships are
past And GeoreeyY 100
"iOh y said the tradesman, never mention
his name; were the ocean to separate his house
from the rest of Hungary, he could not be more
of him, truly said, 'Georgey is a Spartan by
education; a stole, or rather cynic, BY temper
and habits; a stranger to the ideal, and be-
heVing only in tue reality; unpublished also he
is detesting forms, and abhorring the rhetoric
and flourish OF the revolutionary literature.
For him the mysterious power of Kossuth
was only an insupportable imposture' OF
the three men-Kossuth, Georgey and Klapka
the last is the only one that may still emerge
from his obscurity. The Others are dead to
