It says the first movement made for the release of Kossuth was by Mr. Webster, and but for the influence of his letter to the American Minister at Constantinople, Korsuth would etill be @ prisoner in Asia Minor, ‘The Republic says that Kossuth is in the hands of a few officious individuals in New York, who use him to | advance their own interests, and, im the fulfilment of | their purpose, are laboring to place Kossuth in a position | aatugonistic to Congress and the administration; that | Kossuth bes beem led into entangling alliances of the | worst description, despite his care.

While our learned cotemporaries are gravely discussing the inexpediency of abandoning the vene- rable policy of non intervention in the affairs of Exrope, they seem to forget that it has already | been abandoned. The doctrine has prectically be- come an obsolete idea—a desd letter—e tradition from the primitive days of the republic. It was well enough in the days of four-horse post coaches and sailing veeeels; but in this age of electricity, railroads, and steamshi;s, the antiquated idea of passive neutrality is exploded. The action of Con- gress, and of the Executive, at Washington, has introduced the modern doctrine of active interven- tion in behalf of Republican principles on both sides of the water. We have broken ground in several initiative steps, inthis now policy. 1. The ect of Congress detailing a vessel of tho | United States navy to the shorea of Asia was sub- stantially an act of intervention in support of the republicans of Europe, and the casting down of the gauntlet to the despots. 2. The recommendation by the Prosident, in his annual message, of an official reception by Congress, ofGov. Kossuth, waa a second step of active oo- operation with the cause of the European democ- racy. 3. The joint resolution of the two houses, wel- coming Kossuth to the country and the capital, tho despatch of a special messenger by the President to | bear the official invitation to the distinguished exile, and the appointment of committees in Con- gress to receive him upon his errival at Washing- ton, form another very docided chapter of active | intervention. It isnot necessary to referto municipal and popu- lar demonstrations—to proesedings of State logis- latures, and party assemblages of all parties—to ths thousand deputations of welcome extended to Koseuth since his arrival—in eupport of his prinoi- the people. Nor is it necessary to advert to the | ples and his cause, as marking the inolinations of | enthusiastic response, on all sides, to the appeal for © “material and financial aid” to Hungary. Our reports of the donations and collections, from day striking aud absolutely startling proof of the sub- stantial character of American eympathy. No sooner does the great exile proclaim the flaancial brapch of his mission, than money comes pouring Europe were our own cause, and tho guarantees of our own independence. But theso proceedings are not strictly a part and parce! of the practical adop- | tion by the United States of the docttine of active intervention. Congres: and the Executive Depart- ment of the general government are alone invested with the practical control of our foreign relations, and their action alone can decide upom the future | today, to the Hungarian fund, afford the most | | in upon him, as if his cause and the liberties of | policy of the country. But they havedonsenongh © to initiate the new doctrine of active intervention in European affairs, in favor of republican princi- plee, and against despotism. The old doctrine of neutrality being thus prasti- cally superseded, it becomes an interesting ques tion how far the newone is likely to be pursued. Whet course will it take? go no further; but s new prissiple once intro- duced into the policy of our government, or of any government, is more likely to be prosecuted than suddenly relinquished. This is especially true of a popular doctrine—a republican doctrinaa—a doctrine fully up to the lift of those high precaure engines of popular sentiment, steamships and electricity—a hundred pounds to the square inch. The inistia- tive steps have beentaken. We have crossed the Rubicon of the old stand still idea of Chinese reu- trality and isolation from al! ‘ outside barbarians.” Whitber are we tending, and what are the pros- pects of this enlargement of the area of our foreign relations ? Dering the last eummer we bad several inter. views, in Paris, with Napoleon Bonaparte, aon of rome the only remaining scion of that family who bears a reremblance to the great conqueror, in his coun- ce exd in his naturally quick perception of lusions.

If he is particularly bellicose at, the present time, he had better reserve himself for the approaching revolution in Hungary, in which he might take part with Austria against Kossuth. When that revolution breaks out, wo have no doubt that the Emperor of Austria would give him the post of Brigadier General inthe Austrian sor- vice, as @ return for the valor] which he has dis- played in villifying Kossuthand the Hungarian | cause in the columns of hisjowrnal. Cortainly the Emperor would treat his app!ication more politely than President Polk-did, when the ex-Charge to Austria wanted tha! office in the Moxican war. Ovr Capinat SurngnpERine—Britisu Usurra- tions.—Mr. Graham, Secretary of the Navy, has despatched the United States war steamer Saranas to San Juan, with instructions to the British brig of war Express te look out for a broadside in case any more experiments of insulting the Amorioan | flag are attempted; but in the same leitor of instructions e¢curs an open act of surrender to English usurpations, in these words:— “At the same time, you will assure the local authorities of the port that the United States will not justify che non-payment of any lawful aud proper port duties on the of their merchant veerels, and that they desire the | most friendly relations with the government of Central | ‘America. and will faithfully maintain, on their part, the stipulations of the treaty already referred vo.” —That it to say, the Prometheus, hereafter, and all other American ships, are to pay down, in ready money, the port charges of the goverament of James Green, Esq., her Britannic Majesty’s agent, in supreme command at Greytown. Not a cent of such charges ought to be paid until James Green, Esq, has publicly abdicated the Mosquito coast, and all pretences of authority under Queen Victoria, or King Cudjo, her protege. The treaty surrenders all English authority, or pretences of authority, over the Mosquito coast. Master Green is there, and his port charges are there, ia impu- dent violation of the treaty; and to say that we will observe the treaty, by paying tribate to James Green, is next thing to a falechood. Let the Pro- metheus stick to the treaty, and refuse to pay this tribute, or asingle cent efit, and let us see what the Saranac is made of. That is the way to en- @ the treaty. For God’s sake, lot there be a little pluck, when the law is so clearly on our side Tue Russ Pavement. —The resolution directing the pavement of Broadway on the Russ plan, has passed the Board of Aldermen, and we hope it will be acted upon at once by the Board of Aesistants. There are a number of epeculators and lobbiers who are endeavoring to defeat the project; but they should not be listened to for a moment. The people demand the extezsion of this pavement, not orly in Broadway, but throughout al) our principal thorovghfares.
