AN INVITATION TO KOSSUTH.

At the meeting of the Central Committee, last
sight, at 10, Wellington-street, Mr. THOUNTON 1k tee in
the chair, the Chairman, upon behalf of the deputation who
had carried to Kossuth the invitation of the committee to
become their guest at a public banquet, delivered the
following report
o The deputation appointed by the central committee for
organising the Kossuth demonstration, waited upon Louis
Kossuth, at Southampton, this morning, and had an inter-
view with him of soine duration. The deputation was in-
troduced by M. Pulszky. The deputation stated to Louis
Kossuth that it attended on the part of a committee com-
posed prineipally of workmen, among whom the movement
tad originated, and by one of whom the address to be
resented had been composed. The deputation requested
p emission to penitent the address at a public ireeep.
Lion of himself in London, and to escort him to the
place of his abode there. A copy of the address was pre-
sented to Louis Kossuth. The deputation further requested
his acceptance of an invitation to a banquet. Louis Kossuth
replied by requesting the deputation to convey his thanks
to the working men of London. Ile stated that he honoured
Industry ; he himself was a man of the people ; his poliVeal
mete had been devoted to elevating the condition of the
people. He should be proud of any attention that the
working classes of London might please to show him. He
thanked the committee for furnishing him with a copy
of the address, as his unfumiliatity with the English lan-
guage made the opportunity of delibera'ely reading it very
convenient. As to the invitation to the banquet, he felt at
once a difficulty and a question of policy. lie had but a
abort time to stay in this country on the present viait, and
could not accept all invitations., That was the difficulty.
Observing the political victories of the English to be obtained
by the aid of assutiations, he desired to suggest the establish-
ment of an association here to colonic upon the government
the policy of non-intervention in full force—abstinence front
meddling in the affairs of a fiannien country; but moons-
panied by the refusal to permit intermeddling on the part
of a third country. Ile believed that would lie sufficient to
secure the liberties of the peoples of Europe. Ile desired
to abstain from mixing in the internal party questions of
England. In accordance with these conditions he desired
to have an opportunity of stating his views at a meeting not
limited to any p arty or class, but including men of political
importance. Ile left it to the deputation to say whether
their invitation would furnish him an opportunity. 'floc
deputation declined the responsibility of advising him on
the subject; but represented that at the banquet he would
have an opportunity of addressing a larger representation
of the staple of the people than he would be likely to
obtain at any other gathering. The deputation left Louis
Kossuth to consult with his friends, requestiug the favuur 01
an answer as e irly as podia:v. Kossuth promised to folly
at the earliest opportunity (understood, this day), and in
taking leave of the deputation, in a manner most cordial,
renewed his expressions of gratification at the reception
with which the deputation de iced to welcome him. The
deputation then returned to town without delay.—(Sigind)

The Chairman having read the above report, elated that
the earnest object of kosoith was to arouse the sympathy
of this country iu favour of Hungary, with a view vi renew
thi itrugule to her favour, and therefore he was anxious
not to offend any parties or choses here, by seeming to
Fr hi the sympathy of any other class or party ; at the
same time he (the chairniati) did not despair of the accept-
ance of the invitation of the committee to the banquet, as
Koeouth had, .it event*, accepted the demon•tratiou on
hi : I, and concurred in a public presentation of the
'Klan la.
