Tha Late Hungarian War A writer in the Times of this city, published last week, what he was pleased to denominate an answer to our article upon the cruses and oojects of ihe late war in Hungary. In that pretended reply, we are charged with falsehood some thirty times; and altogether its character is such as determined us not to notice it. Its argument consists of abuse ; and when a formi dable document presents itselt it is got over by very deliberately pronouncing it an erroneous translation! A correspondent insists, however, that we are bound to republish certain docu ments which have heretofore so triumphantly sus tained our position that the Hungarians an l Kos.siith.did not light for Republicanism, and that the cuuse of their defeat was their refusal U> extend to Croatia and other Sclavae ciiun tries, the liberty they themselves demanded and wrung fiam the imbecile Ferdinand. Ihe writer in the Times does not pretend to impeach the authority of Schlessinger ; and for the very excellent reason, that Count Pulaski, who is now present in this country with Kos suth, said of him : ‘•The author is an Hungarian by birth, hut long “ago quitted his native country, residing first in Prague, and subsequently in Berlin. He is perfectly familiar with Hungary, andhixcon ception of persons and chaiacters is essentially accurate.” Preface, by F. Pulzsky. We quote from Schlessing* r’s War in Hun gary. “The Magyar movement is widely distinguish ed, both by the power which called it forth, and the object it had in view, from all the revolu tions that convulsed Europe during the last two years The political knowledge of the Magyars does not extend much beyond that of their own constitution; and it is remarkable with what singular affection and constancy this ancient constitution,with ell i s defects and abnormities, has been hold fast and cherished by the people. Whilst all tho other nations huve sought to en large more or less their representative co stitu tions, the Magyar has dreaded any change in his,clinging to its very letter, as the Mussulman to the words of the Koran "—Sch/essinger's War in Hungary, vol. i. p. 1i 4. “Jellaehich’a first appearance was such as to command respect. In Crotia there was no pil lage, hut there was equipment; there was no murdering—there was arming. The Ban roused his fellow-countrymen to the war against the Hungarians with the same irresist ihle elo quence as teat which subsequently enabled Kossuth to perform such iud editable exploits; he took the field for the independence of iiis na tion with great talents for agitation and inflam matory enlhiisiasrn. He entered the arena of the revolution with raised visor, in a spirit of self-reliance, ofconfideuco in the power of his race, right to revolt. “The question naturally arose, why the (’roats should noteujpy privileges which the Hungari ans had obtained without a struggle, and which the Italians on the field of battle, and the Ger mans in their Parliament were striving ! o ac quire 7 No one who does not condemn all re volutions as indefensible, can consider the Croat insurrection less justified than those in Italy and Poland. In fuel, at its commencement, Jellachich met with considerable sympathy both in and out of Austria; notwithstanding that Sclavism bad never enjoyed any great favor in Europe. Ib. pp. 26, 27 This solitary extract from an authority thus endorsed, should be conclusive ; audit is so in the minds of all who bear in mind, that it is only since liis downfall that Kossuth and his imme diate followers have b come Republicans That they are now Republican's, we rejoice to know; and whereusthey only had our reaped in their last struggle, should they make another attempt, they would command our sympathy as well as our respect. On the fourth of July. Kossuth and the Hungarian Ministry applied to the Erpppror of Austria to aid in putting down the Crotians, who, as Schlessinger fays, had only demanded from Hungary the liberty which she had extorted from the weak stiff ptnbecile Emperor of Aus tria. Ferdinand, it must ho i«hH»u}k»red, vv:i9 , a perfect imbecile, arising from a succession ftf epileptic fits, which utterly and entirely de stroyed h»S intellect and compelled his counsel lors to depose him 111 favor of his nephew, the present youthful Kn?p«ror, who has proved himself a reckless Despot, and openly violated; all his pledges to his people. From a Memorial presented to the Archduke by Kes-ulli uud the Hungarian Ministry, July 4th, 1843. “Ifhis Highness, the Archduke John, will be stow a careful attention upon all that wa have just said, he cannot but bo aonvinced of the ! true character of the rebellion of those Slates, which make great pretensions of fidelity to the Sovereign whilst violating the royal authority. ! he cannot but perceive, that even their offer off joining Austria is merely a feigned pretext, in order to give at the crisis of the struggle such a superiority to the Sclavish a'Binent in Austria, that after thus completely paralizing the Ger-1 man element, and undermining the Austrian throne, the empire shall be split up into inde pendent Sclavisb kingdoms, and the very exis tence of the Austrian Imperial House shall he thus buried. And yet loyalty and attachment to the King is so deeply rooted in the heart of the Hunga-i riart Nation, that the Illyrian rebels are well aware that, in openly exhibiting their intentions, they will not meet any sympathy They have therefore come forward in the spirit of reaction, as the pseudo heroes of the royal authority, and against the Hungarian Nation, who have not ' attacked the royal power, for whom a legal in dependence and a constitutional administration is not a recent grant, hut anjancient right, sanc tioned by innumerable royal oaths, —against the Hungarian Nitfen, which at this present ino moot, when almost every throne in civilized Europe is tottering, rg mains not only the firm est, but the only‘firm prop of the Austrian throne. This feeling and this experience have led us to request the kind assistance of his High ness. the Archduke John, with respect to the Illyrian rebellion. •'*## * * * * “The disloyal rebels actually boast of tho sup port of the offended ruling House itself! And when we requested His Majesty, in order to enlighten the unhappy and deceived pe"ple, by his own hundwriting, to let the people know that His Majesty disapproves of the rebellion, and is determined to maintain in all their integ rity the solemnly affirmed inviolability of the Hungarian Crown and the authority of the laws, the lenders of the rebels deceived the people by declaring that this has not been done voluntarily on the part of His Majesty, Jmt that it is merely and unwilling expression extorted by the Hun garian Ministry through means of compulsion ” We need not dwell upon the character and spirit of this api eal to Austria against the rebel Sclaves, who detrmined to throw off the bon dage of their Magyar masters, with whom their brother Sclave, Kossuth, was acting. It speaks for itself, and gives an insight into our history of events. But the Croatmns and their brother Sclave*, were not idle. They too, approached Austria, not as miserable suppliants, who sought for power to continue the slavery of his fellow AUGUSTA, GA-, SUNDAY MORNING DECEMBER 28, 1851. creatures, hut as men who demanded justice, and felt their ability to obtain it. They felt that. they were speaking the language of nine millions of men. as capable of maintaining their rights as their four millions and a half o°f masters. And being nobly determined to ac.ueve their freedom or to die, they spoke as men capable of such determination alone can speak. Thus spoke these Rebels to the Emperor of Austria:— “Emperor, if you reject our prayers, we shall know how to vindicate our liberty without you ; and vve prefer to die heroically like a Sclavonian people, rather than to bear any long er Bitch a yoke as imposed upon us by an Asiatic horde, from whom wo have nothing good to receive or to learn. Emperor,know that we pre fer, if we must choose between them, the knout of the Russians to the insolence of the Mag yars - " e W ‘* l ,lot ’ on a »y terms, belong to the Magyars. Remember that, if Croatia forms but a thirty-fiiih part of your empire, the Croa tian constitute a third of your whole ipfaiUry.” The commentary made by Scles-ingcr upon Jellachich uud his people, is the only one uec cessary to he made here. Every reader can arrive at a sound conclusion in regard to differ ence in character between the MSgyars begging of Austria to aid in enslaving Croatia, and the Sclaves demanding their Liberty ! We care not what others think or how they feel ; our sympathies were with the “Illyrian Rebels ’ and against Kossuth and his Magyar c .laborers. The foregoing extraordinary official docu ment, signed by Kossuth, Battbiany, Szemere, F.otvos, and the other Hungarian Ministers, and addressed to the Archduke John, at once throws light tipou a contest which has so long been involved in darkness. Dates are now impor tant 1 In March, 1848, the revolution in Vienna took place, and Ferdinand was driven to Inn spruck. In April, 1848, the Hungarian Diet compel ed Austria to concede the Independence and separate government—even to a Secretary o! War and Foreign Affairs—vhicli had been pre viously refused for three centuries. In May, they ordered Ban Je lachich to appear before them and submit to their authority in stead of that of the Emperor of Austria ; and he not only contemptuous y refused to obey tliem, hut finally threatened to march upon Pe-th itself. 1 And in July, this Hungarian Ministry headed by Battbiany, humbly approached the throne of the Emperor of Austria, through the Archduke John, then the German Confederation, and en treat his kind assistance in putting down “the Illyrian Rebels”—Croatia being ancient Illyria. Rebels against whom 7 Wby against the Mar tyrs of Hungary ! And why rebels 7 Because after nearly eight centuries of bondage to a Tartar race, only halfas numerous as themselves —with skins as white, and intellects as vigorous as their masters —these descend nits of the an cient possessors of the soil of Hungary, de termined baldly to assert their liberty, as did our lathers, without a tythe of the cause, determin ed to assert the’r independence of England. But with this difference. Onr patriot “sires, fought only for a redress of grievances, the Sclaves rose against their masters, who held them as slaves. _ worked them as slaves, and as slaves, legally inflicted upon them the lash, and even death itself! Yet, for thus acting, Jvos- j suth himself a Sclave —denounces them a* “It- i i lyriau rebels ” and beseeches the G mpan Con- federation and Austria, to put them down on the distinct plea that they are the enemies of Austria, while the Magyar “Hungarians are not niffy the firmest, but tho only firm prop of the Austrian’.hronp, at 4 moment when almost every throne in civilized Europe is totfo in.g f” The historian Puget, who admits that he was opposed to the success of the Croats, givies the following as one of their grievances : (‘Since the Hungarian Diet has proposed to enforce the use pflhe Magyar language, instead of the Latin, in public transactions throughout all Hungary, a spirit of opposition has been ex cited among the Sclavish population, which threatens yery serious consequences. The first effect of the measure proposed by tlje tjjej. W4S the rousing up in Croatia of a strong sentiment of nationality, which found vent in the estab lishment of a periodical something like the :{fepqj Magazine, in form, in the Sclavish lan guage; This is the Daqipn. [lirsjra, edited by Dr. Gay. It is published once a week, is very respectably got up, and contains national songs, original articles and translations. “It is no uncommon thing to hear them reck oning up the Croats, Sclavonians, Bosnians, Dalmatian*, Servians, Montenegrins, and Bul garians, and then comparing this mass qf Scluyes with the tlnee or four, millions of Magyars, and proudly asking why they should submit to deny jheir language and their origin because the Magyars cpmujapd if, “1 am very tar from wishing this parfy suc cess, though I cannot help in same degree sym pathising with a people who resist when they thjijk a stronger power is williug to abuse its strength by depriving iffe vvpqger qf those ob jects - laaguage and religion—which they hold as most dear. “The act has passed, however, which declares (hat in ten years's time, uo Croat shall he eligi ble to a public office wffo cannot read and write the Magyar language, and the consequence has been the creation of a feeling of hatred against the Magyars, which bodes but very ill for the speedy M«gyarizing of the < rotiau people.” -r-Pages, Hungary, vol ii pp 562—589. It was in July, JB4B, that the hall of Revolu tion was set in motion in Paris. In March, the empire of Austria was driveu from Vienn ito Innsprack ; and then it was that the Magyar Diet of Hungary demanded their inde pendence of Austria, and promised certain changes to their bondmen. We quote the fol lowing on this subject, as well worthy of atten tion : “ The other races, however, th.it were cou cerued in these changes (effected in March and April, 1848,) and especially the Sclavonians, immediately saw that the tendency of the Magyars was to merge all the other nationalities in their own, and to suppress them altogether, to which end the separation of the Hungarian government from the central government of the empire, was a necessary means. This convic tion, supported by recent experience, soon brought out the most determined opposition. The Croatian and Sclavouian member, of the Diet, in the proceedings of the two Houses, (pr Tables) had not raised their voices against these innovations, because the terrorism exercised by the Magyar party had deprived them of all freedom of speech, and because they also hoped that the Crown would reject the propositions of the Diet, which would inevitably have caused the empire to be divided into two hostile por tions.” •‘The pretence of the Hungarian, that they took up urms to secure the adoption of liberal principles in ‘he empire, was a fraud, which exposed itself by the tone of independence they arrogated when they perceived the author ity of Austria was oil the wane, and were em boldened in consequents to pat forward the tqr moderate demands which originated the war, and called forth tha Ban, a Croat, who dread ing the servitude intended to bcimposeo on his countrymen, unsheathed his sword to save their liberties and the undivided power as the empire. Should the Hungarians and Kossuth succeed, (a result little to be apprehended,) the Sclavo- | nians would be subjugated and deprived of all t,j their privileges, and would fall into the hands of wild theorists, instead of being regenerated.” —Thompson’s Austria, p 396. - The writer in the Times quotes against Ban Jellachich, the Emperor of Austria’s Procla mation, setting forth the wonderful things which the Magyars had done for Hungary, and ad vising the Croats to return to their bondage, and superceding their Ban! It is said that “ Fools rush in where angels fear to trend,” and had the writer allnded to not been as ignorant of his subject as he is reckless in assertion, he would not have dared to refer to that docu ment, which is well know to have covered all concerned in its forgery, with disgrace.—■ Kossuth will not thank him for bringing it to light; but now that it has been produced, the following from Count Mailath’s Geschite, pp. 421. 422, will exhibit the Hungarian Ministry in no enviable predicament. Ihe Hungarian Ministry must prepare for a struggle.. if it would obtain its object, of breaking off’ Hungary from the tnotiarchy; for Croatia and Sclavonia would not obey the commands of the ministry. In the beginning ol the movemeut, the Croats also hud claimed a ministry of their own, and put forth sundry other demands, which were any thing but faxor ahle to the unity of the monarchy. But all this went into the back ground as soon as they saw that their nationality was menaced by the Hungarian ministry. The tyranny of race and language, which had been exercised for many years by the Magyars was now severely expia 4 ted by the resistance of tho Croats. At the last meeting ot the Diet, Kossuth hud exclaim ed in open session :— ‘ But where lies Croatia ? I cannot find it on the map.’ He now foutid out to his cost where it 1 iy. * * * * * * The Magyar ministry tried in vain various m-.-aus to bring the Ban ino subjection. He was summoned to Buda-Pesth; he did not come. A royal commissioner, General Hrnbo wsky, was ordered into Croatia ; but he was not disposed to enter the province. The Ban was called to Innspruck to answer for his con duct; he obeyed, and. soon convinced the em peror that he wished only the welfare of the monarchy and the dynasty. On his journey home, he learned from a newspaper that he was deposed ; but Croatia continued to obey him, and soon a royal ordinance appeared which reinstated hirn in his dignity and office. This disposition of the Ban was one of the most enigmatical occurrences of the time. Os the numerous reports which were circulated in retereuce to it, the most probable one, is that the President of the Magyar Ministry, who was for some time in Innspruck, by some unknown means obtained the Emperor’s signature to a blank sheet of paper, and fheu, without the Emperor’s knowledge, filled it out with the de position ol the Ban. This report was some what confirmed by the fact, that not the slightest protest was made by the Hungarian Ministry, when the Ban continued in the execution of his office ; the Magyar Ministry dreaded any thorough investigation of this matter.” VVe have no commentary to make upon this. It tell- its own story The following extract from Kossuth’s Speech in Ihe Hungarian Diet, when called upon by Austria to aid in conquering Italy, will best show how much of Republicanism, and what «»f IVtbcfly, tUc.l pjrAVftltMlt WltU the Magyars. Extracts from a DeLate in a crowded meeting of the Diet, July 20th, 1848, on the question whether Hungary should send troops to aid the Emperor of Austria in putting down the Italian iusurgenta in Lombardy. “Kossuth, the Minister of Finance, resum ing his address, [which he had suspended from exhaustion,] came now to speak of the Italian question. This is the first European question which the nation had had to consider since it as tained its majority, [or its age offreedoin.] TheX should not therefore allow themselves to be so far carried away by it as to forget their own country. He wished that this question should not agitate their minds, but that they should consider k oalnffy. When the fate of the na tion is at stake, all sympathies and antipathies must be laid aside. Here the matter ought not to he viewed according to abstract principles; if it were, we should be obliged to bear their iron potuetjuences; if wo protect the Italians i because they are fighting for their freedom, then we must also concede the point to Croatia and Bohemia, and con ess that they are in the right. [Murmurs.] He openly confessed, he wished the Italian nation was free. At the former Diet, the queetion came up whether ffipy vvprp willing that the ministries of war and finance should be at Vienna. We answered, no. Thereupon, those persons [the Austrian ministers] said ‘What shall we do 7 You will not assume any part of the State debt, and if the Italians break loose from us, we shall be driven to national bankruptcy ; help us, at least, to end the war with houer.’ We plead im possibility as an excuse. The ministry is con stituted, and the insurrection breaks out on all sides. Then they aaid at Vienna, • Hungary will not help us, but Jellachich will; then we will make terms with Jellachich.’ This lies like a curse upon the Hungarian ministry. .4t YtomfSi fbay appeal to the Prugn,atio Sane, ti6n to show that we ought to help them to ob tain an honorable peace. Now, before the opening cf the National Assembly, where we claim that every member of the Dynasty should labor to support our integrity as a State, the Hungarian ministry must be very circumspect. Idle fancies are here of no use. France would help the Italian Republic, but not the Italy of Charles Albert, who has just as much right to Lombardy, as Jellachich has to Croatia, or the Russian Czar to Hungary. I will explain fully the policy of the ministry- (H« ‘eaffs the protocol of the ministers 1 plan, in which it was resolved, that if peace and order were restored to Huugary, they would then send the troops they did not need at home to effect an honor able peace.) Herein, continued the orator, we only say, ‘ procure for us quiet iu Hungary, and we will help you to gain an honorable peace.’ But to the Italians we will ray, • strain not not tho cords too tight or it may happen that we shall come to the help of Austria.’ They have desired us to call back onr troops from Italy. This is easily said, but not so easily done. We have from 10,600 to 12,000 men in Italy ; but there are also 35,000 Croats there, who would also come back, and we have no particular need of them. He had here spoken only of the past policy of the min istry. He did not say that they would inline dtatfely send an auxiliary army to Italy, or even haw many they would send, but the moral power of such a declaration was very great, and by that alone, they might he a great help to Austria. (Unanimous applause.) This tells its own story, and p. eseuts Kos suth as publicly declaring that if Austria would aid in bringing tha Croatians into subjection to the Magyars and the “ancient institutions” of Hungary.be w«s quite willing to aid Austria in putting down liberty in It Iy ! Until then* “all sympathies” with men striving for freedom must h$ crushed ! But listen to his own con fession, nnd a precions one it is : If we protect the Italians because they are fighting for their Freedom, then wc must also concede the point to Croatia and Bohemia, and confess that they are Right.” And thus only sixteen days after signing the petition for Austria to put down J “ the Illyrian rebels,” he admits in debate that if ;t be right “to fight for Freedom” then the cause of Croatia is a just one; and as that must be put down at any rate, it ia better to tell “ the fighting for strain not the cord too tight, or it may happen that we shall come to the help of Austria.” !! Jellachich then, with the boldness which murks his character, and which had induced hitn to de fy the Austrian power, though an outlaw, pre | seated himself to the Emperor at Itnspruck, and succeeded in convincing him that the Sclaves were his true friends; and that being twice as numerous as the Magyars, if he would guaranty to them equality of rights, they woula compel the Magyars to respect his authority. The Em peror Ferdinand, who was as weak in mind as in body, was convinced of the force of this just reasoning, changed his plans, and not only com missioned Jel'achich, Ban of Hungary, but sub sequently appointed him specially to put down whal had become an Hungarian Rebellion of the Magyars against Austria, by the Diet’s throwing off all dependence upon the Emperor, except to crave his aid against Croatia and the Sclaves. Jallachich returned to Croatia without his reconciliation with the Emperor having beeu proclaimed. It was suspected, however; and the Hungarians united with the Socialists and Red Republicans to get up a second revolution iu Vienna. Professor Bowen, in a truthful and powerful article in the North American Review for January, 1856, thus describes what then en sued ; “These reasons (of ihe Bau) appearing con clusive. ihe Emperor did not hesitate at once to change sides, to unite the Imperial forces with those whom he had just before denounced as rebels, and to commission the Ban Jelluchich, himself the chief rebel, to put down the insur rection in Hungary This arrangement, how ever, was kept secret for a time, to await the results of negotiation with the Magyars. But this haughty and imperious race waited for no compromise, and their spirits only rose as the number of their enemies increased. Their Diet voted an extraordinary contribution of a hundred millions of florins, a levy of two hundred thou sand men and an issue of two hundred millions of paper money. It was also proposed to re call the Hungarian regiments that were serving under Radetsky iu Lombardy; but Kossuth cried out, ‘Beware what you do! They are Croats and Sclavonians whom you wish to re call ’ ” On the 10th of September, 1848, after the re turn of the Emperor to Vienna, a deputation of one hundred and sixty members of the Hunga rian Diet arrived in that city, demanding of the Emperor that he should approve of the.r vote to raise men and money, issue a proclamation de nouncing Jellachich, and take up his residence iu Pesth! byway of proving to ttie Sclaves that he sided with the Magyars 7 The absurdity of such demands is only equalled by their impu dence. They were of course rejected ; when tiie haughty Magnates and Magyars withdrew, threatening vengence ; and nn eye witness in formed us, that he was present when they reach ea the steamer on the Danube, two miles dis tant. They immediately drew down the Aus tro-Hungariati flag which was waving on the boat, trampled it under foot, hoisted a red flag in its stead, and proceeded down the Danube. Another deputation sent, a week later, to Vien na.

The war fairly commenced, Kossuth despatch ed General Bern into Transylvania, to strike terror into that region, and thus preveut assault from the Sclaves of that quarter, which ho con sidered his rear.

Heabowsky, dated “Carlowitz, August 1,1848.” “With a bleeding heart, I take the pen to de scribe to your Excellency the horrors that have been committed by the Magyar troops at differ ent places on the theatre of the civil war. There was uot a single enemy in the Servian town of Futtaok, when the Magyar troops un der your Exellency’s command fell upon the place, slaughtered innocent children, women, and old men i while others shamefully heat a priest, stripped him to the skin, and so dragged hint naked round the place, while they plunder ed some of the houses, and burned others. In Mohul, they ripped open the belly ofavenerahle priest, and also beat his son to death. “The abomination* are indiscribable which these savage soldiers committed in the churches at Futtaok, Foldvar, Mohul, und Kikiuda. I will pass over in silence the destruction in these churches of the seats, doors, prayer books chandeliers, and other articles of furniture de voted to God’s service; but it i* a thing unheard of in all history, that Christian troops, in an open place possessed by them, should seize on the Sacrament of the Eucharist, standing in rea diness for tlm dying on the holy altar, should throw it down, and trample it under foot, should kindle a fire on the holy altar, and commit other i abomination* on it not fit to be named ; should j tire pistols at the image of the Holy Virgin, and stab out the eyes of the other images of the saiuts. As they could not cool their courage on the armed Servian*, they violated women and maiden*, hewed down children and other dc- i fenceless persons, cut off their ears and noses, plundered everything they could carry away, and destroyed the rest.” “From thi* picture, falling far short of the reality, of the horrors thus far committed by the Magyar troop*, your Exellency can easily infer, that tiffs national war for war of races j pro- j voked by the Magyars, is already not far from j turning into a religious war, aud must haute in | such a war, if some limits are uot put to these barbarities. I greatly fear that very soon I shall 1 no longer bo able to hold hack our own officers ! and troops front similar deeds of horror; 1 greatly fear that Bacskca, the Banal, and Syruiia will soon be made a wilderness. After what has now happened, I believe that the Servian peo ple find themselves reduced to extremity, and as l know them, they will fight with the energy of despair for their nationality and their religion, aud will rather die than allow themselves to he robbed of them. I must frankly confess to your Excellency, that from the barbarities al ready committed by the Magyars, the Servian nation already draws the inference that the Magyars are waging against them a war of ex termination What will be the issue 7 I believe it will be nothing else but this, —that they will adopt these practices of tho Magyars, and will repay them like for like. “The Servian nation has not the means for carrying on a war which are at tho disposal of tho Magyar Ministry; but would never.have thought of. war if they had not been urged and driven to it by the attack made on the 12th of June, upon poor innocent Carlowitz upon their sanctuary. They were Tirinly determined td recover their undoubted rights by legal mgans Therefore they sent me with it leapectabie dep utation to the foot of the imperial throne, in or der that they might find Help there, where they were always accustomed to find it when in dis tress I remain with all respect, Y’our Excellency’s obedient servant, Joseph Raiachich, Archbishop.” (CONCLUDED TO-MORf>OW.) VOL. XV.—NO. 151 The Treaty tof Guarantee. A resolution, we observe, has been offered in Congress calling for information iu reference to the rumored tre'aty between England and Francs guaranteeing to Spain the possession of Cuba. If the treaty iu question exists, it is, we may presume, says the Baltimore American, a secret I treaty, the disclosures of which will scarcely take ] place until some occasion may rise to call for its enforcement. But th re is evidence official and conclusive that the policy of guarantee which such * treaty would establish is a'ready recogn'zed and adopted by the Governments of England and France. This fact is announced by the communications, published recently, from the diplomatic represent, fives of the two Governments lit Washington giving information to our Government of the orders issued to the naval commanders of England and France on the West India station. A special treaty of guarantee may exist or not. So long as it is confined to pap'er, and gives rise to no infringe ment upon our rights or our interests, we can remain indifferent. The orders, however, just referred to, are known to exist, and they em body the spirit of such a treaty, and if carried into effect would present the full question of foreign interposition in our affairs. The remark ; of Cen. Cass, in the Senate of the United States, on this subject are very perti nent. He said: “American eitizei.s offending against our laws are resp nsible to our tribunals, and to no oilier earthly jurisdiction, except iu the case of pir cy, which by universal consent i< a crime against uIS civilized nations, and jnay be punished by either of them. If an unlawful expedition against any other, they are of course liablo'to the con sequences of their acts—punishment by the j Government injured when taken in the attempt. ! But this rs far different from tne voluntary inter position of other Powers to watch the high i seas, under a pretention which canuot be car ried into effect, without assuming its corollary ! the right to search every vessel which may make j her appearat.ee upon the Gulf of Mexico, or | indeed along our coast, wherever these prolec | t‘»g Powers may choose to exercise this rude jurisdiction “For the claim to prevent vessels of a certain character from approachiug Cuba, includes of course the claim to examine all vessels found within the “tabooed” region, iu order to ascer ! tain whether they come within the condemned | class, whether in fact the trick may not be taken, jby virtue of a little well-timed doubt. Or, iu other words this doctrine, if established, would I establish the full right of* search at all times upon 1 waters of the ocetn, whose f'reu navigation is ' as essential to the United States, as the English Channel to England, and would give to two great maritime Powers the control of the Gulf of Mexico and the mouth of the Mississippi. I ord Palmerston, indeed, assures us that our commerce shall not be interrupted. Cold com fort this! We had rather depend upon our own right and power than upon his moderation or that of his country. “ 'Timno Danaos’ is a wise cgution in political affairs when counsel is proposed by those who are not with us nir i f us. We know the Brit ish Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is not easily turned from his purposes. He has stamp ed his character as a bold statesman, if not a cirpumAiiori nri«. unan tHo r »—lq* intercourse of his country; and if he has not always scrupulously regarded the rights of other nations, he has kept a steady eye upon the inte rest of his own. He undertook to convince us a few years since that because England had formed a treaty with so ie of the European continental Powers for the suppression of the slave trade she had therefore a fight to search our vessels, in order to carry these engagements into effect. And now, because France and England have constituted themselves the guar dians of the Spanish Government in Cuba, therefore their cruisers are at liberty to violate the American flag iu seas couterminous with our own coasts, and which arc navigated by a large portion of our mercantile marine. The former effort failed, and this will fail, as will the others, in wh itever fruitful brain they may orig inate, which are designed to follow. 1 -I must exp ress my grut ification, in looking over the papers, at the ground taken by Mr.Ciittenden in his communications with tho French and Bri tish M inisters. He laid down the true doctrine, the doctrines, for which wo have always con tended ; and I trust the Administration will firmly anhere to it. They will meet lam sure with the general concurrence of the country. This is precisely one of those questions before which party disputes should be hushed, and which ap peal to the hearts of the whole American peo ple. We may remark says the Baltimore American, that intmention of England ami France, or of either nation, in regard to Cuba r would present such as would call for our adverse inter vention, simply because it would be uimed at our interests, and could not take place practi cally without offence to the honor of our flag. It is by such a rule as this that vve are to regulate our foreign policy in the matter of intervention. I When Kossuth in his speech to the B dtimore i Deputation, alluded to foreigu interposition, in : respect to Cuba, and to the determination of this country to repel it, he undertook to apply the principle in this case to Iti3 own country, and said the only difference was that Cuba wus distant six days from New York and parts of Hungary were eighteen days distant. But the difference in the two cases is as great as that between an obstruction and a reality. It would be in self-defence that vve would repel the armed interposition of England and France to assume control over Cuba under the name of a guarantee; for the position of Cuba is such that its possession would give, as Gen. Cass re marks to two great maritime power.- the control of the Gulf of Mexico and the mouth of the P i ississippi. We could not allow our com merce in that quarter to be at the mercy of acomuiercial rival. - Now we do not see that it would subserve any interest of onr country, or accord with any principle of national policy, to engage our selves to restore and maintain the nationality of Hungary. Oo the contrary we behold in such a pledge nothing but the assumption of uncalled for responsibilities, which if made good, as they be if assumed, would involve us in a series ot conflicts and of expenditures that would end * only with the overthrow of the power of jffussia —a result which those muy look forward to who know nothing of her strength, her position and , j,er resources. - - . . ,» w Lynched.—A man named Atkina was da tected at Vicksburg a few days ago, tamper ing with negrdes, offering to sell them passes, for each, which he assured them would guarantee their safe escape to a free State. He was punished with between 300 and 400 lashes and turned loose. There is reason to bellevo that there aresome rascals of the same styipe with Atkins prowling about Memphis, Our police should be on the alert, and if any of them should be caught, they may be assur ed of a still more condign punishment than, eveu that wJiich Atkina received at Vicks burg. > " ’ ' , WASHING FLUID, » sujply Just isesursd and for sale low by nls WM.
