COURT OF CONISII $ COUNCIL.
Yesterday a numerously.% ~.ed Court of the
Common Council of ,the,y e w.as held in
their Council Chamheil-it the • d c • ielly for the
purpose of considering a motion by Mr. Charles Gilpin,
with reference to the liberation and arrival in this
country of the illustrious Kossuth. The Right Ron.
the Lord Mayor in the chair.
The minutes of the former meeting having been
read by Mr. WOODTHORPE, and a verbal amendment
in them, at the suggestion of Mr. Blake, having been
made,
Mr. ANDERTON rose fur the purpose of moving that
a vote of thanks be given to Dr. Vivian for the ser-
mon preached by that gentleman at the Church of St.
Lawrence Jewry, before the Lord Mayor and the
Sheriffs, on Monday last.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR contended that Mr. Anderton's
proposition could not be entertained, as there was no
notice of it upon the paper of business.
After some conversation as to the proposal, Mr.
Anderton consented to withdraw his motion.

RECEPTION OT THE ILLUSTRIOUS KOSSUTH.
Mr. CHARLES GILPIN then rose for the purpose of
moving the following motion, namely :—" That this
Court do present an address of congratulation to
Louis Kossuth, on his liberation from captivity and
arrival in this country, and that the same be presented
in open Court."
Mr. ANDERTON wished to inform Mr. Gilpin that
he intended to move " the previous question.
Mr. GILPIN said that he had no objection if it was
Mr. Anderton who did so.—(Laughter.)
Mr. BOWER wished to know whether Mr. Gilpin
could inform the Court whether Louis Kossuth had
at present arrived in this country ?
Mr. GILPIN would not undertake to say that Kos-
suth was at that moment within the kingdom, but he
thought it highly probable, from a letter he (Mr.
Gilpin) had received, written by Kossuth himself,
that he (Kossuth) could not be then far from South-
ampton. —(Hear.) It was a question of route simply,
and they were not in possession of the fact whether
the illustrious exile would come to England by
Gibraltar or Marseilles.
Mr. BOWER was satisfied.
Mr. GILPIN then said it was with much pleasure
that he rose to propose the motion of which he had
given notice, which was—" That the Court do present
an address of congratulation to Louis Kossuth on his
liberation from captivity, on his arrival in this
country, and that the same be presented in open
court." It was not his intention to go at great
length into the matter, as he had done so upon a pre-
vious occasion. At that time he (Mr. Gilpin) under-
took to prove that Kossuth was no rebel, and that, he
thought, it was necessary to prove, inasmuch as cer-
tain portions of the press had industriously circulated
reports to the effect that he (Kossuth) had violated
the Hungarian constitution. That was not so, for
that illustrious man was the defender of that consti-
tution. It was he who kept the law while others
broke it.—(Hear.) He was the man who evidenced
attachment to municipal institutions, which were
based in freedom and founded on justice and mutual
good will. He sympathised with the toiling millions
of his fellow-subjects, he spoke no treason, but at the
same time he defended the rights and liberties of his
countrymen in his fatherland. Yes, and the day was
just at hand when those who had reviled him would
find that the name of Kossuth would be univer-
sally recognised as identified with the glorious cause
of freedom and civil liberty. At Southampton exten-
sive preparations were made for the purpose of giving
to the illustrious exile a hearty welcome to England's
shores.—(Hear.) He was proud to say that that

hethwenssasfkreeed.—of
h
(Loud cheers.) Recently it had been the practice of
one of the newspapers to attack the Corporation, and
he was amused to see how some of them appeared to
smart under the castigation. It had been said that
they as a body did not represent the common feelings
of those by whom they were surrounded. Well, in
many things they did not ; but let them not pay regard
to what might be said of them by an angry editor,
who, because he had been disappointed in not having
all he asked for, attacked the whole body. He ad-
vised members of that Court not to let that annoy
them. He (Mr. Gilpin) had entered that Court,
perhaps as strongly prejudiced against the Cor-
poration as any man ever had been, but he would
state it as his honest conviction that the citizens
of London were fairly
represented, and that the
attacks made upon their representatives in that
Court were altogether unjustifiable.—(Hear, hear.)
It was well known that the:Corporation of the City of
London was celebrated for its love of liberty, and this
fact might serve to point out the spot from whence
the venom with which such attacks were marked pro-
ceeded.—(Hear.) The paper in which these un-
founded charges were made had invariably supported
tyranny and opposed the progress of genuine freedom.
He knew it to be the fact, that so afraid were the
proprietors of the journal to which he alluded of the
sympathy of the members of that Court in such mat-
ters, that they actually dared not to trust some of
their ablest editorial writers to write upon subjects
connected with either European politics or corporation
questions.—(Hear.) liossuth had the sympathies of
the people with him, and they would bid him welcome.
.—(Cheers.) That was a fact which despots ought to
be made acquainted with, while they also ought to
know that England, and especially the corporation of
the great metropolis, would receive, with open hands
and cheerful hearts, the patriotic defender of liberty,
whether he was free or the hunted fugitive flying from
the hands of iron-hearted traitors to their subjects,
and the welfare of the miserable places subject to their
sway.—(Hear, hear.) Kossuth, let them remember,
did not come amongst them as a warrior. No; he
came as a refugee statesman whose virtues were
well known and highly appreciated. He had ostra-
cised himself through his love of liberty, and still his
name was a'' tower of strength" to every Hungarian
who had not settled down on the lees of despair, ren-
dered decrepid with his age of misery.—(Cheers.)

not for these things, but be did ask the Court to
render a deserved tribute to an illustrious man—a man
of peace, whose crime was a love of freedom, a hate of
slavery. Such a gift would be inexpensive to the
wealthy Corporation, and highly gratifying to
a man of such a noble mind as was Kossuth.—
(Cheers.) In conclusion, he confidently hoped for an
unanimous vote upon that occasion, such an one as he
was honoured with when he brought the name of
Kossuth first before that Court. In moving the rem).
lution of which he bad given notice, he would ask the
Court to assent to it, and thus to do justice to a man
who richly deserved all the honour that could be ren-
dered to him. He asked them to do so as a proof of
their sympathy for an illustrious exile ; he asked
them to do so as an evidence of their regard for the
great principles of constitutional liberty of which he
(Kossuth) was the honoured and the persecuted repre-
sentative. He asked them to do so as a dignified and
stern rebuke to the undisguised and ruthless despo-
tism which run riot on the plains of Hungary, and in
the cities of Austria, and which filled the dungeons
of Rome and Naples with the best citizens of the
state; then to murder them with the Blow torture of
the " iron entering into the soul," and the pestilence
that " walketh in darkness." He (Mr. Gilpin) asked

them to do this, that Louis Kossuth, the representa-
tive of the principles of freedom, might receive the
sympathy., of that great corporation, the members of
'which ,he ,could not imagine would for a single mo-
ment'hesitate to.bestow.—(Cheers.) He would con-
clude with proposing, " That the Court do present
an address of congratulation to Louis Kossuth on
his liberation from captivity, on his arrival in this
country; and that the same be presented in open
court. —(Loud cheers.)
The Loan MAYOR, suggested that it was certainly
desirable for the Court to inquire; before the matter
proceeded further, -whether there were any precedents
for the course proposed to be pursued by the mover of
the question.
Mr. GILPIN replied, that before he bad taken any
ulterior steps in the case, he had desired to propose
that the freedom of the city of London should be pre-
sented to Louis -Kossuth—(Hear)—but upon con-
sulting the law officers of the corporation, ha had
found that that could . not be.—(Hear.) A' similar
vote to the one he had proposed had, however, been•
voted to one of the. American representatives some
time since, and that established a precedent.—(Hear.)

The Tows; CLERK, upon being called upon, said
that he was not aware of that.
Mr. BLAKE was of opinion that the Court would be
acting rightly if they went upon the broad principle
of establishing a precedent, if no one should be found
to exist.—(Hear.)
Alderman WIRE stated, that there was a distinct
precedent already established, and that was in the
case of Espartero. It was with much pleasure that
he rose to second the motion. With Mr. Blake, he
was of opinion that they ought not, in such a case,
to wait for precedents.—(Hear, hear.) They ought
to select the broader view, and take upon them-
selves—supposing no precedent existed—the first
opportunity they had of establishing one. He
did not intend, upon that occasion, to tread upon
the debateable ground of Hungarian politics ;
but be thought it was fair for him to draw a parallel
between the days gone by, when Hungary sheltered
Englishmen, and fed them with her hospitality.
Kossuth was no rebel. His only aim had been to
serve his fatherland. He had no other aspirations.
This was the man who had been detained and per-
secuted ; but he had received the sympathy of
England and Englishmen, and through their in-
fluential interference he had obtained his liberty.—
(Cheers.) It was right for them, as the representa-
tives of a free people, to support and recognise men
who had laboured so hard in the cause of liberty, and
who, as Kossuth had done, had acted in accordance
with the law. They would do honour to themselves
by thus opposing despots and despotism, and he hoped
that that Court would not hesitate to manifest, in un-
mistakeable terms, their sympathy for Kossuth in his
struggle for liberty and freedom.—(Cheers.) He
would not go into the question as to whether the
newspapers were right or wrong in what they had
represented. That was not the question before them.
It was for them, however, to remember, that Hun-
gary had a constitution, which had been violated by
a certain ruler there.—(Hear, hear.) This constitu-
tion the illustrious exile Kossuth had not sought to
violate ; but because he had stood up in defence of
that constitution he had been treated as a slave, and
thus subjected to the greatest ignominy. To the
best of his power, Kossuth had endeavoured to main-
tain the rights of his countrymen, and the great prin-
ciple of liberty all over the world. He (Mr. Alderman
Wire) therefore cheerfully supported the motion of
Mr. Gilpin.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ANDRRTON said that he much admired the
speech Mr. Gilpin had made upon that occasion; and
he would also say that he (Mr. Anderton) fully
agreed with that gentleman with respect to what he
had said in relation to Hungary, Austria, and
Kossuth.—(Hear, hear.) Still it was a question with
him (Mr. Anderton) whether that Corporation ought
to receive Kossuth in the manner Mr. Gilpin pro-
posed. He (Mr. Anderton) would most cheerfully
have supported Mr. Gilpin's views had the question
been put to him in his private capacity simply ; but
he could not do so as a member of that Court. He
had seen that day, in one of the morning journals,
the Times—(" Oh," and laughter)—that the Corpo-
ration of Southampton had refused to receive Kossuth
in their municipal character, but that they had una-
nimously agreed to give him a hearty welcome in their
individual capacities, and he thought the Corporation
of London ought not to go further.—(Dear, hear,
and " Yes, yes.") If they set such an example,
other countries might adopt it, and much evil
might accrue.—(Laughter.) They might laugh—
he spoke from principle. Why, was it not most
probable that the parties who perambulated that
City upon the celebrated 10th of April considered
themselves perfectly right and perfectly justified in
proceeding as they did in advocating the "five points"
of the " Charter ?" They doubtless considered them-
selves as being the friends of liberty, and as such they
might feel, if this proposition was adopted, entitled to
the sympathy of foreign powers.—(Hear, hear, and
"No, no.") Other countries might do the same. They
were at that moment at peace with the whole world,
and surely it was their duty to pause before they ad-
mitted the proposed principle in their corporate ca-
pacity. He should move the " previous question,"
but in doing so he hoped to be permitted to express
his regret that the question had been brought forward
in that Court at all. Had his friend Mr. Gilpin pro-
posed out of doors to get up a public meeting, he
(Mr. Gilpin) being in the chair, he would have at-
tended and evidenced to Mr. Gilpin and his friend
Kossuth, that ha (Mr. Anderton) was a friend to
liberty, and to the illustrious exile whose presence in
this country was hourly expected. As it was, how-
ever, he had no alternative—for the reasons he had
stated—but that of moving the " previous question."
He had asked no one to second his ,amendment, but
having satisfied his conscience, which was by no means
a small one—(Laughter)—he would leave his amend-
ment in the hands of the Court to deal with as might
be deemed desirable.
Deputy CONEY seconded the amendment. He
was of opinion that the members of the Court had no
right to travel out of their corporate capacity by en-
tertaining Mr. Gilpin's motion. Nothing, in his
opinion, would tend more to accelerate the downfal
of the corporation than the adoption of such a course.
—(Laughter, and cries of " Oh, oh.") They had
enemies enough already, and It was only by adhering
to their corporate duties that they could expect to
retain their privileges.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") He
was the friend of freedom, but he must second the
amendment for the reasons he had then so briefly
stated.
Deputy STEVENS was in favour of the motion of
Mr. Gilpin. He had never heard more singular rea-
sons for objecting to the motion than Mr. Anderton
had put forward. That gentleman had objected to
the corporation having anything to do with this mat-
ter, while he did not object to support the question
in his individual capacity. That was to him (Deputy
Stevens) exceedingly strange.--(Hear, hear.) Was
it not the fact, that in a matter of that sort it was
their duty not to make an individual, but a collective
display ?—(Hear, hear.) "Oh, but," said another
gentleman, the seconder of the motion, "if we do
this as a corporation, we shall bring destruction upon
that corporation."---(Laughter.) Get their corpora-
tion destroyed for supporting liberty I —(Hear,
hear.) No, but this they would do, they would
acquire the adnairatioa of the whole world and the
thanks of their fellow-citizens.—(Loud cheers.) The
corporation were inclined to do that which was right.
Latterly, at least, if not always, they had supported
the cause of liberty. Kossuth had put his enemies to
the blush, his character had proved to be so high that
he had won the designation of a patriot who had been
long striving to promote his country's good. Finding
this to be the case, measures were adopted for the
purpose of sending the illustrious man to the Sultan,
who kept him quiet until the noble exertions of other
powers caused him at length to be set at liberty.—
(Cheers.) He should support Mr. ilpin's motion.
Mr. BENNOCII regretted exceedingly that any
amendment had been proposed upon such a subject as
the one before the Court. He had hoped that they
should have been perfectly unanimous upon such a
subject, so that potency might have been given to the
resolution. That Court had sympathised with Kos-
suth while he lay in a dungeon, how then could it be
said that they should be exceeding their powers
if they gave to that illustrious man the right hand
of fellowship upon his liberation ?—(llear, hear.)
There was no admiration which was too great in
expression, when in one man they found patriotism
bound in a sheet with purity—such a man must
entitle himself to the admiration of all who
knew the blessings and value of free institutions.
Kossuth was the Hungarian Cromwell. True, unlike
Cromwell he had not succeeded, but why had be been
overcome, and how ? Not because he had excited
tumult, but because he had maintained the rights of
liberty.--(Hear.) By whom was be overcome ? By
foreign despots, in central and northern Europe, and
by whom he had been hunted from the face of the land
into the dungeon of persecution. If they were of
opinion that Kossuth had been a rebel, the case would
have been different, and they might have seen reason
to pause before they entertained Mr. Gilpin's motion.
But it was not no ; Kossuth was no rebel, he was the
, friend of liberty, and as such he deserved the recog'
nition of that great corporation upon his liberation
and arrival in the metropolis,.—(Cheers.) lie should
support the motion.

The motion being about to be put,
Mr. BLAKE said, that before that was done he
would beg of his friend Mr. Anderton to withdraw
his motion. The court had memorialised the Secre-
tary of State for the liberation of Kossuth, and be
(Mr. Blake) hoped that upon that occasion they should
not evidence anything like inconsistency in dividing
upon the question. lie did trust that, as Mr. Ander-
ton had given voice to his opinions, that he would con-
sent to withdraw his amendment.
Mr. ANDERTON said that he could not do so, as he
had moved the previous question on principle.
The question was then put, and carried by an
overwhelming majority; indeed, but one hand only,
except those of the mover and seconder, was held up
for the amendment. A committee was then appointed
to draw up the address.

moved that the report be referred back for recon-
sideration.

Seconded by Mr. Baisr.r.
Alderman SIDNEY defended the report.
After long conversation the report was received,
there being but few dissentient voices.
Petitions were then disposed of, after which Mr.
Gilpin, Alderman 'Wire, Deputy Stevens, Mr. Blake;
and Mr. Bennoch returned into court with a
copy of the address they had prepared, which is to
be presented to Kossuth in open court. It having
been approved of amidst the cheers of all present,
Mr. Gilpin obtained permission to inform the Lord
Mayor of the earliest day of Kossuth's arrival, when
his Lordship will fix a time for the presentation of the
address to the illustrious exile.

Shortly afterwards the Court was counted out.

ABD-EL-KADER.

The following correspondence, which has recently
taken place between the President of the French
Republic and the Marquis of Londonderry on the
subject of Abd-el•Kader, appears in the Morning
Post :••••

(Copy.)
" Garcon Tower, Sept. 25, 1851.
" Sir,—l feel it a duty not to conceal from the public
and from Europe the sequel of my proceedings with
Prince Louis Napoleon in the great cause of humanity,
relating to the illustrious victim of the Chateau d'Am-
boise, pledged as I have been, from the first moment of

ray interview with the Emir, to strain every nerve in my
humble power, and relax in no effort, to accelerate his
liberation. I hail now with delight the dawn of the day
that is to set him free. To your columns in the first
place, and to the English press, lam largely indebted
for aid in my undertaking; and I beg to offer here the
tribute of my grateful acknowledgments.
" In entering upon my difficult task, I felt no man in
the world like myself could appeal to the President of
the Republic, to reciprocate what I had accomplished
personally for himself, had not an ill-starred shot at

Fontainebleau induced and caused a king to forego his
royal word.
" I ought to state, in the course of this affair I have
been greatly assisted by a noble and distinguished per-
sonage in Paris, to whom I have sent a copy of my
letter of August the 25th. He requested leave to pub-
lish it in the French journals, and it may be known in
France prior to your doing me the favour of noticing it
in the Morning Post. I subjoin what he says:—
" M. de la GuerroniA., qui eat notre plus grand
ecrivain politique, vient de lire votre lettre,.il Ueiire la
publier dans eon journal, Le Pays, dont Lamartino eat
aussi le redacteur. Autorisez moi par le retour du cour-
rier. Voici ce qu'il dit de votre lettre :—" C'ebt avec
emotion et bonheur que j'ai In I'admirable lettre de
votre noble ami le Marquis de Londonderry; c'est nn
chef d'ceavre, ecrit avec la plume d'un homme d tat et
la points d'epee d'un chevalier. Cet appel d'un grand
cceur retentira duns le cceur de is France et de son
Gouvernement.'

" You will not, Sir, accuse me, I am sure, of quoting
he above from vanity; the advantage, in my object, of
such men and such authority as I feel I possess, enables

me to support any personal criticism or disapprobation.
" Prince Louis Napoleon's answer to me (which is
now alone sent to you) is so conclusive that it liberates
me from the firm resolution I had formed of publishing
all the documents and letters in my possession of the
Duo d'Aumale's and General Lamoriciere's, relative to
the capitulation of the Emir and his brothers. The
point being gained, the veil may be charitably drawn
ever the delinquency of the past. My dispatch to the
President was official, and sent through his Minister of
War ; his answer to ma may, however, in some degree,
bear a private character, and therefore I have omitted,
in forwarding it to you, one or two paragraphs not ne-

cessary to the fact Of the decision he has arrived at. He
thinks the ' honour of France engaged to the liberation
of the Emir,' and therefore he declares his belief that

sooner or later it will be accomplished. If I judge my
friend at all right, what his feeling heart has dared to
pronounce his courageous soul will dare to accomplish.
" I remain, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant,
"VANE LONDONDERRY."

August 25, 1851.
" Mon Prince,—A considerable period has now elapsed

since I received your princely word, 'Le 29 Mars—
Qu'aujourd'hui mime mon nouvel ambassadeur A Con-
stantinople est chargé par moi:d'itudier cette question
(la mice en libert6 d'Abd-el-Bader'). Is it too much,
Sire, under our former relations, to solicit information
at your hands as to the progress of your Ambassador's
negotiations, and what has been, or is likely to be, the
result?
