Kossuth-Hungary-Austria-A report is current, says the New York Commercial, that Kossuth is now in Sardinia and in command of the Hungarian troops in the Austrian army. A letter in one of the German papers further states that much agitation prevails in Hungary, and that revolutionary movements are anticipated. Something of the kind is also hinted at in the correspondence of some of the English papers, and, putting these facts together, some journalists start the plausible theory that the discovery of dissatisfaction among the Hungarian troops, who form a large proportion of the Austrian army now in Sardinia, is the real cause of hesitation, counter marching, and almost retreat of the Austrian forces since they entered Piedmont. It is also said that there is dissension between the Austrian and Hungarian generals of that army. It seems probable that Austria will have her hands full, and will yet rue the day she took up arms against Sardinia.
