Kossuth will be the guest of Alexander Henry,
Esq., M.P. for South Lancashire, during his stay in Man-
chester. The Ma)•or of Southampton has received a special
invitation from Mr. Henry to meet the Magyar chief at
Woodlands, near Manchester, the seat of Mr. Henry.
Koasuth, whilst at Birmingham is, in company
with M. Pulsky, Colonel nary, and Mr. 'foulmin Smith,
to be the guest of Charles Gesell, Esq., M.P.

A deputation waited on M. Kossuth to present an
address from the French proscrits, which had been written
and signed on the 21st Sept., before the arrival of Kossuth in
England. It was on the 31st of October only that it was
presented to him in London. Kossuth received with much
affability M. Barthelemy, who had been commissioned to
meet him in the name of those who signed the address. He
listened attentively to the reading of the address ; then, in
presence of a large number of persons who filled the room,
he replied as follows:
" lam happy to be the object of the sentiments ex-
pressed in the address of the French democrats. My
sympathies for France are equal to the admiration with
which that great and brave people, the first champions of
liberty, inspires me. I doubt nut that the French people,
notwithstanding the resistonee of its government and the
opinions which divide it, will still take the greatest and
most generous part in the events which the future is pre-
paring for Europe. I wished to have had the power of
traversing France to come to England, but Louis Napoleon
has contrived that the French Republic, which has pro-
scribed its founders, should no longer be an asylum, nor
even apiece of passage for republicans of other countries.
My address to the city of Marseilles has made known that
in my heart I should not make France responsible for the
inhospitality of Louis Bonaparte. I have also affirmed in
that address that I wish for my country the government
of a republic. lam convinced that there is nothing possi-
ble henceforth in Europe but the republic based on univer-
sal suffrage, with the principle of the solidarity of peoples
and the independence of nations. I ought to add that I
do not think the opinions which are now discussed in
France can be applied elsewhere, for the present. As for
me, I do not wish to occupy myself with those ideas which
divide France. I ought only to occupy myself with that
which is of a nature to ensure the independence of Hun-
gary. If I have not manifested in England that thought
which I expressed at Marseilles it is because I do not
, wish to interfere in the affairs of a country which gives me
hospitality, and whose assistance I desire for the future of
Hungary, for which, I repeat, I wish the republic based
upon universal suffrage. You speak of temptations which
will be offered to detach mo from the cause of democracy,
and of homages which will be rendered me. It is right to
tell you that I have seen none of these homages, and that, if
temptitioas were tried to separate me from the cause of
the people, the attempts, of which 1 have seen no sign,
would fail with me."

:41. Barthelemy then said —Your words will be re-
ceived amongst us with a satisfaction the more lively, in
that they refute and reduce to their true value the asser-
tions of some English papers, which have not scrupled to
declare that •the address to the city of Marseilles was not
the work of citizen Kossuth; that that address was in-
vented by the French demagogues, and could not have
been the expression of the thoughts of a man whose opin-
ions were simply constitutional.
On hearing that the English papers had stated that the
address to the City of Marseilles was not his, Kossuth ap-
peared much surprised, and said, with marked emotion,
that not having time to read the newspapers, he was en-
tirely ignorant of what M. Barthelemy had just informed

him, and added, that he would send to the papers a
1 contradiction.

pliance with a numerously signed requisition. In the ab-
sence of Thomas MaHinson, Asy., thu constable, Wm.

spirited character, was addressed by the Her. John Glen-
dinning, Mr. Woodhcad, the Her. J. K. Montgomery, Mr.

mously adopted.
