for freedom end independence. beeame the declaration of
welt a power as your republic will be respected even whirs
it Mould not be liked ; and Burope's oppressed nations
will feel cheered in resolution and doubled in strength to
maintain the decision of their American brethren on their
own behalf with their own liver.
Various speeches followed, and the banquet paimed.
off most satisfactorily.
On the following day the Jackson Democratic As-
sociation entertained Kossuth at dinner, five hundred
persona being present, and he spoke at considerable
length in explanation of the position of affairs in
Europe as connected with Ilungary.
A correspondent of the .Yearurk lleraid writes
as follows :-- •

Previous to Kossuth's arrival in this country, I stated
to you that despatches had been received by the govern-
ment, Riving an account of hi. conduct on board the
and which were calculated to damage him in
the opiunin of the people of the United States. With
• view, probably, to avoid all appearance of hostility to
the Magyar, the subject wa.. dropped, and, whoa the
Diississippi arrived at Now York, one of its officers went
so far as to denounce, in Into, the Injurious imputations.
But the subject is now attracting attention here, and there
is no doubt Congress will call for all the information in pos-
session of the President. Thu moat important despatches
arc in the Btate Department, and they consist of communi-
cation, from Captain Long to Consul Dodge, and the I'm:t-
iara despateihr, to the department. lu addition to these,
the nary• department has on tile despatches from Comm-
dire Morgan and Captain Long. These dispatches detail •
series of insults, on tne part of Kossuth and his suite, to the
officers of the Mississippi, which nothing but the forbear-
ance of those insulted, the peculiar pointion in which they
were pieced, and the partial apologies of Kuseuth, could
ba.e urevented from being summarily punished.

Kossuth had had an interview with llenry Clay,
who %detailed him cordially to America, but depre-
cated any intervention in the affairs of European
nations. The health of the venerable statesman rtill
continues to decline.

" ‘Ve learn from Washington," says the New Turk
that Kossuth does not diem it necessary
for him to immediately return to Europe, now that
he is convinced his mission to this country has
proved a failure. Perhaps Louis Napoleon's coup
d'i'tat elm. assisted him in arriving at this conclusion.
It is said that he now contemplates a visit to the
West. After once seeing the fertile land in that
region, it is not at all unlikely that he will be dis-
posed to settle quietly down there, and pass the re-
mainder of his days in agricultural pursuits. Possibly
he may yet be a member of Cmgress from one of the
western states."
A letter dated Washington, Jan. 8, says:

-
A number of Indians front live different tribes of the Sioui
nation visitedKossuththianwrning. They were dressed iu the
original fantastical style of their race. Kossuth expressed
himself highly gratified to see them and shake hands with
them, and hoped God would bless them and their tribes.
Ile then begged them kindly to accept some medals which
some kind friends in the United States had made in'
memory of his being here, by which they might remember
him when they went home. They were of no value, he
said, but were Intended only as tokens of remembrance of a
poor exile. His remarks were interpreted. Mr. Ilagnik
distributed the medals—one to each Indian—which
were accepted by them with marked gratification.
The Indian agent explained to them that Kos-
suth was an exile, tome to visit the President,
who had take n him by the haad and shown him
all the people of this great nation, who were all
glad to see him. Kossuth had the same principles about I
bow a nation ought to live which this country received,
Which made him welcome here.

lioaqath bar now to leave Washington for
Annapolis on M oidaynalt : from there he goes to Har-
risburg on Tuesday, then to Pittsburgh on Thursday, where
he will *toy the remainder of the week, and will probably
resell Vineimiti on the Wednesday following.
Some tan or twelve Western members of the Virginia
Lc gislature called on Komuth thin morning, and expressed
their congratulations and sympathy.
A da legation from Vermont also called and invited Ka-
suth to visit that state. Kosanth briefly replied and inti-
mated that he would accept the invitation should he remain
in the country lung enough.

Relative to the firing into the American steamer
Prometheus by the British brig-of-war Express,
owing to the Prometheus endeavouring to leave the
port of San Juan de Nicaragua without paying her
port dues, contradictory statements preclude our ar-
riving, as yet, at any certain account of the state of
of affairs, the New lurk Herald says, that de-
spatches had been received at Washington from the
Lnited States minister in London, containing his
correspondence with Lord P n almerso on the subject.
Land Palmerston disavows the conduct of the captain
of the Express, and gives such assurances of the feel-
ing of his government as to apparently preclude the
possibility of any misunderstanding ansing between
the two countries. It is understood (says the Herald)
that Lord Palmerston will at once give practical
effect to the Clayton and Bulwer treuty, by with-
drawing from the Mosquito protectorate.
On the other hand, a letter, dated Washington, Jan.
9, says :
It is not true, as stated by a New York journal, that a
despatch has been received here, announcing that Lord
Pahnerson has disavowed the Prometheus affair, or that
any communication has been received on that subject. The
last intelltgenm represents Mr. Lawrence, on the eve of the
sailing of the Africa, as having ecnsmunicated Mr. Web-
stcr's letter to Lord Palmerston, as stated in my despatch
some days ago.
Mr. ltives, the American Minister to France, had
been instructed to recognise the government of Louis
Napoleon.
A telegraphic communication from Washington, of
the date of the 9th, says:—" Henry Clay has written
a letter in favour of Gen. Cass fur President. I state
this on unquestionable authority. It is also asserted
that Mr. Fillmore will soon be out with a letter de-
clining to be a candidate, but intimating in favour of
Daniel Webster. Great commotion among the other
presidental candidates."
The report of the Into judges and other officers of
the territory of Utah, respecting the religion and
polygamy of the Mormons, has been laid before the
President. Accompanying this curious rzpon, of the
doings in Mormondom, was a counter statement
from Governor Brigham Young and his coadjutors.
The latter party, of course, charge the judges and
secretary with official misconduct, but do not esta-
blish the fact that the social condition of the Mor-
mons is any better than represented by the returned
officers.

A letter dated Philadelphia, Jan. 10, says:
Dr. Kinkle is in Illinois. A few days since a great meet-
ing was held at Belleville, and the citizens there pee him
a grand reception, and organised a meeting, which was ad-
dressed by Dr. Kinkle first in English and then in German.
The subject of the German loan wee brought forward, and
it was " Resolved—That this meeting approves of the plan
of a German national loan which has been set on foot,
as securing those means, and will give it our energetic
support. That subscription books for the said loan shall
be opened, in which subscribers may either sign once for
all a certain sum as stock for said loan, or may sign the
amount they are willing to pay by weekly contributions."
On the 20th ult. M. Kossuth addressed a urge meeting at
St. Louis, when the following resolutions were reported :
" Resolved—That this meeting believes it to be the duty of
every well wisher of theenerergpetiubclifm inconsistentcanoesasetolea hweiltph-
, ing hand in the t
our duty to our government, to aid those who are har-
nessed in the conflict with tyranny and oppression in con-
tinental Europe, and especially in the German States.
" Resolved—'l hat a committee of 26 be appointed by the
chairman of this meeting to devise ways and means to pro-
mote the objects of Professor Kinkle's visit to this country
and city. Resolved—That whatever effective means shall
be raised in the form of loans or otherwise be disposed of
and transmitted to the General Committee at London, to
aid the German cause, according to the regulations which
have been adopted by the people in public meetings in
Baltimore, Cincinnati, and elsewhere." I find the follow-
ing in a New Orleans paper, received by yesterday's
southern mail " The coroner of New Orleans last week
held an inquest on the body of Lord J. Loughborough,
found dead on board the schooner Mary Elisabeth. The
deceased was a British nobleman, and was only twenty-
three years of age. He had taken passage at Havannah for
New Orleans, in the Mary Elisabeth, and died while the
schooner was coming up the river. The evidence before
the jury showed that the immediate cause of his death was
congestion of the brain. A gentleman and a servant ac-
companied him on the voyage, and gave him every atten-
tion during his illness."

We have dates from tho city of Mexico to the
17th December.

The English debt resulting from diplomatic con-
ventions, hud been definitely settled. The creditors

and the per cent. for funding the capital for five years
- -after which time the interest is to bo increased to
four and six per cent. respectively. The bank into-
rest is to be capitalised. the Spanish debt has also

Manuel Payno had returned from England, having
been unsuccessful in his efforts respecting the re-esta-
bli%liment of the public credit.
Ond the 2nd December the British corvette Alarm
anchored off Sucritleios.

A party of Americans were near Monclora, pre-
paring, according to the .Ss do, to " invade the state
of Coahuita." They appear, from the accounts, to
be in pursuit of their runaway negro slaves from
Texas. They-were suspected of complicity with
