Whe Great Latter of Kossuth—The Effect in Eng- land—The Condition of the British Empire, §c. of Ireland, in the manufacturing towns and dis- tricts, and if they had only ten thousand muskets, they would end the present system at once. But, like the Insh, they have for thirty years disarmed to a man, and to a man distrusted, There have been some late disclosures from | while their substance has been absorbed by taxes, Kessuth,which will startle into action the Christian | ## much as that of the Irish by rack-rents. An En- world that abides in the United States, and which may even rouse that most dermant of all sympa- thies, to be found in the hearts of the British oli- garchy. By the great Hungarian’s letter of the ‘Wth ult., from Widdin, it appears thatthe Sultan asks the five thouswud Rungarian refugees who | whatever. And it reli are there imprisoned, to turn Turks, or he will have to deliver them up to Russia and Austria— that as to say, to the cord end the seaffold. Unless the dread of repub!icanicm is otil! superior, at this hour ef its apparent fui/, other interest, the handiu! of England’s masters who govern this crushed and helpless people, must speak and act on the tide of humamty. It is doubt- ful whether they will do anything, for they have had three cabinet meetings this week, to no pur- pose, which proves the extreme reluctance of her Majesty’s government to extend a hand to save the lives of a few doomed and fugitive republicans. There lies the deep und damning offence of Louis Kossuth. Like the rebel Washington, he is a re- publican, who tolerates, and probably has pro- selyted thousands, and whose cause is not the cause of England, but of America; not of oligarchy, but of universal suffrage; not of the few, but of the many; not of peers, but of mankind. Te approach him, will be to spread the pestilence of free insti- tutions, and the accursed idea of popular sove- reignty. The creatures who administer the lives, fortunes, and desti of the countless millions composing the Britith empire—about one-fifth of the entire human race, scattered over every chime —get no sleep ut night when they think of the mear approach of Hungary to independence, and its consequence, a republic in the heart of Europe, and the third huk of a chain of such States, stretching from Ruesia westward through Austria, Switzerland, and France, to within twenty odd miles of that island which 18 the seat of their de- spotic power. They thank God in their beds, at the most private prayers; and burn incense every day, all over Printing House square, publicly, to the autocrat of all the Kussias, who has delivered them for a little while from the pest of republican- ism—because contagious. All the presses of the metropolis, and the post office, have been loaded with printed and manuscript sheets of gratitude addressed to Nicholas, fur more than a month. He has always been the natural ally of England, and, since February, 1845, the indispensible bosom friend of the British oligarchy. He it is who sym- pathizes in all their fears of the people, in all their love of oppression, aud in their scorn of justice and humanity. Aud being utterly helpless them- selves—destitute of any urmy to keep down the unarmed and plundered masses at home, the Czar has come forward and crusned their mutual enemy, b wo that he adds actual services to his other claims upon the love, respect, and inti- macy of the government class in England. After all his Knaveries in. Hungary, from the hase of Goorgey, nape his at ea ea maak gad 15 hig ‘areaw tou, filed with the insanity o! Jlsbeshasaen , the autocrat has been footlocked in the embrace of the court circle in London. But their organ (ihe Giobe,) bestowed en him Yesterday, the epi ts “gentleman,” ‘man of honor,” and exclaimed in agony of thankfulness, that he had a pious trust in rehgion. Besides all these conside- Tations, there has been a secret alliance between Ruesa and Englang, to get the formera sea-port Meaiteranean, #0 us to assist | ment of the ld German contederation, ery the 5 n feet, which could be associated with the Britwsh navy, and thus control the seas, and ‘hman, however, rarely starves, because the poor jouees are thick enough, and so accessible, that every laborer knows his way to them. It is, how- ever, true, that two chartists were totally starved to death in one of the metropolitan prisons, The go- vernment feels, throughout its organization, ite own great danger in wering any liberal effort also, somewhat on the ineffectual agitations of Lord Dudley Stuart & Co., to save its credit with the world, while it knows that he has not @ corporal’s guard in the House of Commons. He and Feargus O'Connor have been lately co-operating together on Hungary, aided by bden; but the Times and Downing street . fe all feeling and every | gre deaf to all their displays of sympathy and cries of assistance. May not the attempted forcible conversion of Christians to Paganism, be sufficient to budge the Briush government? It is a new and most extraordinary addition to the strength of the case of Kossuth and his compatriots. The Church may take it up—yet I have not anything like faith in the Church of, England—that Protestant estab- lished Church, which is often administed, in all ite holiest services, by preachers who have acquired their places in the pulpit in the quality of the highest bidders at auction on the sale day for livings in ’Change alley! And I cannot forget that the same Church se detested republicanism, as to to form an alliance with the head of the Catholic States, to place the crown of constitutional mon- areby ‘onthe beud of the Catholic Church. There is most glorious news (if true) this morn- ing—that the last und worst of the Bourbons has been killed at Naples, and that the people have, of course, established a republic. God grant it to be the truth, and nothing else; for it kindles up that general war in Europe, by which regal para- hernabe of all sorts will be consumed, and the ‘heenix of republicanism rise to heaven from the conflagration. Maxcus. Our German Correspondence. Berwiy, Oct. 9, 1849. The German Question—Austria and Prussia—'The Turkish Question— The Fashionable Season, §¢. The day on which it was hoped that a declara- tion on the part of the ministry in the chamber was to solve the doubts and mysteries which exist with regard to the diplomatic negotiations between the different German cabinets, has passed, without the anticipated result. The reply on the part of the ministry to the interpellation on the German ques" tion, which was deferred till Friday last, was to the effect, that the government was still unable to give the explanations desired by the house, nego- tiations being still pending with the different Ger- man States. Making allowance for the slowness with which all business, especially of a diplomatic kind, is despatched in Germany, it must still, after six months’ fruitless negotiations, now appear be- yond doubt, that an sgreement between the cabi- nets on the plan of forming a union 1s a thing alto- gether impossible; whilst it seems to be equally certain, that if the project is not abandoned, a war between the States must be the inevitable result. In my last, ] informed you that an Austrian army was being concentrated in Bohemia, and that the Austrian forces at Vorarlberg, on the southern fron- tier of Germany, were being considerably in- creased. Though these measures, on the part of Austria, were not adopted for the purpose of a di- rect intervention of the latter in Germany, 1 is not doubted for an instant that they are intended to show the determination of Austria to carry into effect, by means of an armed interveation, the policy she has resolved upon, if all other means should prove uvavailable. In the meantime, Prussia, though the hase given her assent to the re-establish- and the ap pointment of a new provisional government, uatil thence the wffaire of the world. And then there is | matters should be defimtivly arranged, does not the highway to the Exst Indies, and that empire iteelt jeopardised by the Russian appropriation of Turkey im Europe, and in Asia, or either. The theives have not bowor © jh among themselves to inspire implicit confidence, 80 that while Eng- and would. perce to the Mediteranean arrange- ment, she 3 to trust Russia with Constantino- ple and the Dardaneiies.

Ia re- ply to the question put to the ministry in the lower house, whether the government intended to ad- here to its resolution of calling together a German parliament, the Minister for Foreign Affairs de- clared at ene of the latest sittings of the second chember, last week, that the government would not recede in the couree it had adopted, and that it would convoke the Reichstag, as soon as the court of confederation, which is already estab- lished, had approved of and confirmed the new electoral law. In despite of Saxony and Hanover having withdrawn frem the confederation, and in despite of the threats of Austria, Prussia ia deter mined to continue in the course she has entered upon. Besides having irrevocably pledged herself to maintain the scheme ot a German union, which she caunot abandon without disgrace, the supre- macy over the minor states, which it has been her ambition to gain, and which she, de facto, already poseerses, would be lost the instant the plan of @ union 16 given up.

The gay ties of the winter season have commenced here with the usual entertainments at Kroll’s, balls, concerts and theatres. In spite of all revo- lutions, the pleasure loving Berliners have never allowed apy interruptien to take place in the long train of amusements that follow each other here through the year, whilst, on the contrary, politics are frequently suspended altogether for a day or two, for the sake of some frolic or festivity; and, the manner in which ‘political as well as eve! other business, however important, is abandoned, the instant the time for amusement has arrived, 19 not one of the leaet characteristic features of Ger- man life. The Germans, though they are perhaps teo philosophical to love excitement in the same degree as the French, are nevertheless equally fond of amusement, and Leg epery 9 to interfere with it.

Above all things, the Berliners like satire, and espe- cially such, Wy which they are themselves made the objects of ridicule; their superiority of intellect, aw they aseert, giving them a privilege to make merry not only at ife whole world’s, but also at their own expense. The present farce, which is copied trom the scenes of real life, such as it is acted here, is tull of allusions to political characters and persons, which may account in part tor the interest it ex- cites. Although the piece 1s often repeated, itis made attractive by the constant insertion of fresh allusions to the politics of the day. The intelligence received here by the last steam- er trom the United States has excited much sen- sation, and a war between the latter and France is declared by the German papers to be inevitable. ‘The opinion, however, given in the Heraid of the 19th ult., that a war wasnot likely te ensue on a mere question of diplomatic etiquette between the two countries, and unless the quarrel would as- sume a more serious character, hus done much to dissipate for the present, in England and Germany, the useless fears, which are so injurious to com- mercial interests.

This may seem somewhat strange, coming as these fabrics do trom South Carelina, but it 1s none the less true; and what is more, these goods of Southern manufacture are rapidly finding their way into our own and even more Eastern markets, where, from their general excel- lence, they are competing with the products of our Eastern manufactories. ‘This is an important fact in the history of Southern manufactures, and can- not fail to enlist atenuon. The Graniteville Com- any commenced their manufactory at Graniteville, & Edgefild district, 5. C., about three years ago, and it has now become a large manufacturing vil- lege. The company, with a capital of three hun- dred thousand dollars, purchased tract of land of 10,000 or 12,000 acres, at one dollar the acre. A canal, which cost $9,000, brings the water to the manufactories; the bailing cost $60,000, machi- nery $122,000, saw mill and machine shop $9,000, dwelling houses ,000, and the remainder in water wheels, shafts, laying out streets, &e. The manufactory has been in operation one year. On the first of June, itis said, the factories began to yield a profit, and on the first of January next the company will make a handsome dividend.
