NON-INTERVENTION

MEETING,
AT MANCHESTER

ADDRESS OF M. LOUIS KOSSUTH

Last (Tuesday) evening, a Non-intervention meetiog- was
held in' the large room of the Free Trade-hall, Manchester.
Every part of the building, with the exception of the
gallery (for admission to which is was charged), was
crowded to excess. The chair was occupied by G. Wilson.,
Esq., and a great many of the leading men of Manchester
and the district were on the platform. The Chairman
having made a brief speech he introduced M. Kossuth, who
was loudly cheered. After the cheering had subsided,

M; Kossuth said: We. lived in stirring times, and he
(M. Kossuth) believed that he had arrived at a period of his
life which might call on him very soon to fulfil great duties
in his own country (hear, hear, and cheers), for
his country must soon unfurl her banner. Francis
Joseph of Austria, had now got a great war on hand,
which bad commenced in Italy, but it would extend
itself through other portions of the Austrian country. This
war was one for which he had long addressed his prayers to
the Father of Mankind, inasmuch as he believed it would
result in the emancipatron of his own dear nation, as well
as other oppressed nationalities. He had heard it said that
he (M. Kossuth) should not interfere in this matter of non-
intervention by England, because it was a domestic
question. He defied any man to say. that he had ever,
since his residence in this country, interfered with its
domestic affairs. And with regard to the non-intervention
of England in thii war, he appealed to the people of England
whether it was not his own domestic question. (Cheers.)
The only fear that he (M. Kossuth) had was that England
would interfere with his (Hungary's) domestic affairs-by
taking the part of Austria. (Cheers.) There was no
doubt in his mind that at the present moment there were
influences at work for the purpose of entangling Enc.d,

in the present war, which had just commenced. He said
this because he had never heard it said that France had any
claim upon the sympathies of England, but he had heard
it said, and even by a member of the government in the
House of Parliament, that Austria had strong claims upon

England. (Cheers.) As to tne ranperur ut ttte 1: exicti
attacking England, he (M. Kossuth) repudiated the
idea of any such thing. Ile (the Ernperor)•had lived long
enough in this island to know that England with her

inexhaustible purse and resources was not to oe trinea
with. (Cheers.) He (the Emperor) also knew, that if he
attacked England, he would not only have to do with
an army, but a whole and united nation,—(cheers)--every
man of which would rise and proclaim every inch of him a
hero. (Renewed applause). .:England never did and never
should be humbled at the proud foot of any country in the
world. (Immense cheering.) She was not attacked when
her fleet and her army was called to India to quell the great
mutiny there. True, they. were away from her, but her
people were at home: (Cheers.) And now he (M.
Kossuth) did not hesitate to say that England would not
be attacked'nnlesishe herself chose to plunge headlong into
the war. His prayer was that she would not interfere in
any way, and, especially, that she should not lend her aid
to despotic, priest-ridden, and bankrupt Austria. (Cheers.)
After alluding to the fact of Admirals having been sent
to the Mediterranean. with sealed orders,--to the refusal
of H.M.S. Orion refuiing to move out of the way of the
French army being landed at Genoa, to another of H.M.S.
ships refusing to salute the flag of Tuscany, and to a desire
on the part of the English. government that the shores of
Dalmatia should be considered neutral ground,—he (M.
Kossuth) said all this showed symptoms of a wish to favour
'Austria, to say the least, if not something more. Indeed,
Fn crin nri* intorfprAnne rAsneetinf_, Dalmatia had already, it

was said, led to an angry correspondence between her
Majesty's government and that of the French, and without
great care it might lead her further. It might lead her

wicked object of saving the house of Austria. He believed
that the people of England abhorred the idea of lending
their hands to such an object as this,—(ebeers)
therefore, it was her people's duty to raise their
united voice against it. (Oheem.)• -There was not, however,
any fear of England interfering, so long as the war was
confined to Italy. He hoped, also, that - she would not
interfere if it extended, as he (K. Kossuth) believed it
would, to Hungary ; she did not want England to fight for
her. All that Hungary wanted was, that England should
,not be her enemy. (Loud cheers.) He then alluded to.
what had been said with respect to , Louis Napoleon's
intentions of freeing Italy, while he was a despotic ruler in
his • own country, and said that, under any circumstances,
the despotie• rule of Austria was so bad, that of France
