eries of Haynau—for his military executions—for his
scourging of women. Your sympathies are for these
things, because you say that order is restored." For
himself he coat only say, that having been a constant
supporter of the principles of civil and religious
liberty, he wanted words to express how deeply gra-
tified he felt that evening at seeing the welcome they
had given to their illustrious guest, who, struggling
for the liberties of his country, had last all except his
honour.—(Loud cheers.)
The MAYOR said that, in proposing the next toast,
he felt how inadequate he was to the duty of prefacing
it in a proper manner. Seeing how many happy
faces there were there, be was almost overwhelmed
when he thought of the honour which their illustrious
guest had done them by landing on their shores.
Who went out to meet him ? Why, the working
classes, the wealth cf the nation. Ile was told that
no gentlemen went out to meet him ; but his answer
was, that he thought they were all gentlemen.—
(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) When the brute Haynau
came to England, what a contrast his reception af-
forded. When he went to taste the ale at a great
brewery in London, the draymen of the establish-
ment drove him out, and he was obliged to bile him-
self in the dusthole of a pot-house. The Kaiser and
the Czar had heard of the disgrace of Ilayneu, and
they might depend upon it that they would hear of
the triumph cf Kossiith.—(Cheers.) Ile was told
that a courier had started for Vienna the very mo-
meet the news reached London of Kossuth's landing
at Southampton. Ile was deeply gratified at their
presence there to-night, and if ever he was oser-
powered with joy, it was at the present moment. " It
overflows with joy," continued the worthy chairman,
addressing Roesuth, " to see you, eir, Emancipated
from thraldom, and to see the Sons of liberty rallying
around you from every town and every hamlet, and
giving you a hearty welcome. I can only assure you,
sir, in the presence of this assembly, that what we
have done is only a simple foretaste of what the peo-
ple of England will do for you. I give you, gentle-
men, " Our illustrious guest, Louis Koenuth."
The announcement of the toast was received with
enthusiastic acclamations, the cheering being renewed
again and again, while the ladies stood up and waved
their handkerchiefs. The cheering having subsided,
KOSSUTH rose to reply, and was received with
renewed applause. He said—Mr. Mayor, my Lords,
and gentlemen, this is the second festive occasion on
which I have the honour to express my most sincere
thanks to the Mayor and Corporation of Southamp-
ton, for the generous welcome with which they
honour me, and to you for the noble sympathy with
which you have joined this demonstration. God has
awarded two blessings to those he has elected—bliss
in heaven, and freedom on earth.—(Cheers.) May
you, may the English nation, be blessed for ever with
both of these blessings. No man who is aware of the
value of his destiny can live satisfied without freedom,
but he to whom God has granted freedom, he has
gained all that is requisite for the development of his
own excellence, which is the state in which the con-
sistent exertions of the English nation have placed
them. That is the basis upon which England has
become like a Paradise on earth, and the operation
of that basis will convert other parts of the world
into a Paradise like England. During all my life I
have had a single leading idea—liberty. The aim of
my life was to secure the blessings of this liberty to
my people, though I know this blessing but instincs
:ively. Now, when I behold England, and when I
see how liberty ennobles a man and beautifies a
nation, how should I not feel double my deter-
mination to renew my struggle, and, if it must be, to
die, that my people may became free—my people,
than whom I can say no people on earth are better
deserving to he free ?—(Cheers.) But, besides the
blessing of freedom, there is also a glory allotted to
you—that is, the proud position which the English
hold, that they not only bear goodwill, but that they
also have a brother's hand to give to those who are
less fortunate.—(Hear, hear.) You apply to other
countries that Divine doctrine of our Saviour,
'"lhou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."—
(Cheers.) It is only thus I can explain the grand
phenomenon that so many nobleminded men, different
in rank, but united in their love and enjoyment of
liberty,join to express their sympathy for the prin-
ciple of liberty, of which they choose to consider me
:o be a humble representative. It is only thus I can
explain the great phenomenon that those honourable
classes whose entire capital consists of their honest
labour and their time, those classes before whose ma-
esty every rank must bow, that they left their labour
and gave up their time to express their sympathy for
the principle of liberty. And well may the work-
ing classes express their sympathy for liberty, be-
cause without it there is no lasting security for so-
cial order, which is indispensable, that every one may
enjoy the fruits of his honest labour. Without liberty
there is no obedience to the law, because when a ty-
rant is the lawgiver, the law is obeyed only from
fear; but when the lawgiver is the people themselves,
they respect what they themselves have enacted.
Therefore, I say, without liberty there is no obedience
to the law. Without liberty, again, there is no field
for productive labour, so as to benefit those who
work. Without liberty there is no security fur
person or property, and if it is not the aim of
human society to grant security for person
and property, and so to ennoble man's heart
and develop his mind, if this be not the aim of
human society, then I do not know what aim it has.
Where there is productive labour, and if a ccuntry
produces more than it can consume, such a country
must have free intercourse and an uninterrupted com-
munication with the world, that the redundant fruits
of its production may be ensured to it, and that
no plethora may exist. This free intercourse is
contained in the words free trade.—(Loud cheers.)
Now, I beg to ask the question, whether this idea of
free trade is realised by this exportation from
England ? I believe there is another part of the
world which wishes to enjoy free trade also, but free
exportation has no moaning if that which is exported
cannot be imported. It is therefore I say that the
people of England sympathise with liberty, because
without liberty there is no free trade. Commerce is
the most powerful means for the development of
civilization. I hope I did not do wrong in touching
on this cuestion of the material interests of England.
—(No, no.) It was fortunate, it was glorious, when
the interests of a great nation were identified with
the freedom of the world. The 'principle of all evil
on the continent of Europe is the despotic and en-
croaching spirit of the Russian Power.—(Cheers.)
There is the pillar which supports everybody who
wishes to establish despotism in a nation, raising him-
self upon the ruins of liberty. There is the rock
which breaks every sigh for liberty. It was not
without reason, then, that I said the principle of all
evil on the continent of Europe is Russia.
This is 30 true that even Jesuitism, which
within these last times, has commenced a
second time to raise its head in Europe,
is supported by the power of Russia. We are in the
neighbourhood of a great nation which hes suffered
enough not to enjoy the fruits of its sorrowful times,
because it has within it a party called—l know not
how rightly—the Jesuitical party—a party which
threatens the existence of the French Constitution.
And even here—in this glorious country—not long
ago, there was a topic—a question—which agitated as
well the puelic opinion es the debates in Parliament.
—(Cheers.) I know what is convenient to me in
this place and due to you. I will not enter into this
question, but I shall only speak of one curious coin-
cidence. I myself am a Protestant—(Loud cheers)
—not only a Protestant by birth, but a Protestant
by conviction—(Prolonged cheers)—but I am the
humble representative of a nation the majority of
which is composed of Catholics. Now, it is not one
of the least the glories of my poor nation, that at
all times, in ?resent days as well as in former times,
when my forfathers bled for freedom of conscience,
there were in Hungary Catholics who were
ready to fight End to struggle, by peaceful means
as well as it the field, for freedom of conscience
end religious liberty. In the establishment of free-
dom, the rights of Protestants have been always op-
posed by the halls of Hapsburgh ; and even in his-
tory they have been strongly united with the prin-
ciples of Jesuitisin—(Cheers.) The freedom of the
Protestants in Hungary was established by treaties, by
pacifications—which were carried by the victorious
swords of Hungary, fighting for freedom of con-
science.—(Cheers.) To be sure, Hungary was ge-
nerous enough, the moment that victory was gained,
to sheathe its sword, because while Hungary loved
liberty it was also true to its loyalty. It may he
sufficient to say that the freedom of the Protestants
in Hungary was secured by laws and pacifications on
which the existence of the house of Hapeburgh re-
poses, and that part which was wanting to the full en-
joyment of our rights we carried in 1848, between
and among our other reforms.—(Cheers.) Sir, when
Russia raised the fallen house of Austria by putting
its foot upon the neck of Hungary, the first deed of
the house of Hapsburgh was to give the noblest
blood of Hungary to the hangman, and her second
was to destroy the free rights of the Protestant reli-
gion of Hungary.—(Hear, hear.) There was yet
connected another fact with respect to the Catholic
Church. Tho Kings of Hungary were always iu
former times anxious not to allow much to meddle
and chiefly not to allow the Court of Rome to meddle
with the temporal affairs of Hungary, so that our
glorious King, Matthias Corvonus, an Hungarian by
birth, seeing the encroachments of the Roman Court
to be such that he could scarcely act as King of
Hungary, answered the Pope in these words :
" May your Holiness remember that Hungary,
which bears two crosses on her ensign, would rather
cross with three spears than endure that the Papal
Government should mix itself with the liberties of the
Hungarian Church."—(Cheers.) So were conserved
the liberties of Hungary by its kings in former times,
who were anxious to Conserve its independence; and
now that Russia has planted to vegetate for a few
months the hails of Hapsburg, he abandons the rights

it has a future because of its vitality—it has a future
because ita independence is necessary to the liberties
of Europe.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, to me every oc-
casion is in the highest degree valuable where my
feeble words, without the power of eloquence—you
see I designedly employ no eloquence, but adhere
to the logical effect of a common understanding—to
me every moment is valuable where I may discuss
the matters of my poor native land, and I know you
would be so generous as to hear me ; but I am suffer-
ing, and I feel that I am not capable to speak long
without consequences, and, therefore, I shall beg
leave at once to thank you for believing in the glories
of the future of my country, to which I shall devote en-
tirely that life that has been rescued and liberated from
the bondage of Austria. My liberation, in the
first place, is due to the noble sentiments of the
Sultan—(Cheers)—who, at the beginning, in spite
of all the threats and menaces of Russia and Austria,
conserved and protected my life, and the lives of my
companions. Afterwards, but with sorrow, he yielded
to the pressure of circumstances, which forced him
for a time to imprison us, though, with a noble in-
spiration and respect for the rights of humanity, in
defiance of all the threats of the despots, to restore
me to liberty. I give myself to you as 1 am; might
I live a thousand years, I should never forget any
wrong that is done to my people—my country ; but,
as to myself, it is a part of my nature that I do not
like to look upon past griefs but only as instructions
for the future; and partly by this consideration,
partly because I have a knowledge, a conviction
that the people of Turkey have vitality yet—l have
a conviction that the future of the Turkish empire is
not contrary whatever to the political interests of
Europe, but is rather strongly and intimately con-
nected with the interests of England and Hungary,
and, therefore, out of this consideration, and also
considering the conduct I met with there, I left Turkey
with the sentiment that I had no remembrance of the
sufferings of my captivity, but only of the benefits
which I have received. I declare that Turkey will
find in me ever a faithful friend, so I acknowledge the
conduct of the Sultan. I must also return my deep-
felt thanks for the warm interest that was taken in
my liberation by the Governments of Great Britain
and the United States—(Cheers)—which was in so
high and generous a manner supported by public
opinion in both countries, and was even sanctioned
by the Congress of the United States. It is there-
fore with broken strength, but with the deepest feel-
ings of my heart, that I propose the toast—" Eng-
land, the United States, and Turkey."—(Cheers.)
Colonel LAWRENCE said—l thank you for the kind
sentiment, so far as the United States are concerned,
which you have just drank ; but I feel embarrass-
ment, mingled with regret, that the American
Minister himself is not present to respond, in a much
abler manner than I can pretend to do, to the senti-
ment expressed, as well as to partake in the hospitality
which you have afforded to our illustrious friend. I
shall not venture to occupy your time with any
lengthened remarks ; but as a member of the Ameri-
can legation, and as an American citizen, I cannot
but give some expression to the feelings which rise
instinctively to my heart on the present occasion.
Our illustrious guest is animated by the same
feelings which animated the patriots of my native
land—men who dared all, who endured all, who suf-
fered all, for their country's good, and to excite the
country to hold aloft the banner of constitutional law
and independence. And he finds himself present
among an assemblage of Englishmen, defenders of the
same liberties for which Hampden died and Sydney
bled.— (Cheers.) With regard to my own country,
I can say that America is too young to have forgotten
her own struggles, or to refuse to feel a generous
sympathy for the constitutional struggles of another
nation. And I can well remember the gloom which
spread over the countenance of every American when
the news reached them of the surrender of Comorn
and all its disastrous consequences, as they felt that
the cause of despotism was about to triumph and to
ride rough shod over the liberties of a nation, though
they still hoped that right and justice would ultimately
triumph.—(Cheers.) I shall not say more than to
assure your illustrious guest of the welcome that he
will meet with in my country ; throughout the whole
of the United States there is but one heart, and that
beats with sympathy for the name of the illustrious
Kossuth. The right hand of feluloisinwashaip, will b

the train reached the platform
at the Fen-

deceased getting out, when he shouted to him to av at, but
the deceased fell out under the door, and was
