GRAND BANQUET TO KOSSUTH

AT SOUTHAMPTON.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY NIGHT: The hero of
Hungary reached this place at a quarter to two o'clock
to-day, by the train from London, where he had
been to consult an eminent physician on account of
his health, accompanied by several friends, amongst
whom we noticed Lord Dudley Stuart, M. Pulzky,
Captain Townsend, M.P. for Tamworth, Mr. Will-
cox, M.P. for Southampton, HOD. H. Walker, late
Secretary to the American Treasury, and other gen-
tlemen. He was received on his arrival by Mr.
Andrews, the Mayor of Southampton, Mr. C. Deacon,
the Town Clerk, Mr. Croskey, the American Consul,
and several other gentlemen. There were about one
hundred ladies and gentlemen on the platform waiting
the arrival of Kossuth, who did not look very well.
The ex-Governor of Hungary, who was received
with loud cheers, which he acknowledged by bowing,
then proceeded in the Mayor's carriage to Mr. Cros-
key's residence, Orchard- place, opposite the platform,
where a dejeuner was prepared for him.
During the dejeuner, Mr. Alderman Wire, Mr. C.
Gilpin, and other gentlemen from the Corporation of
London arrived, when Mr. Gilpin, on the part of the
Lord Mayor of London, invited Kossuth to a din-
ner at the Egyptian Hall, which he accepted.
It was stated that the Ocean Steam Navigation
Company have, in the kindest manner, offered to con-
vey L. Kossuth and his family to America free of
expense. It is unnecessary to say that the offer has
been most gratefully accepted.
The news of the arrival of Kossuth spread with
rapidity through the town, and the union-jack
was
immediately hoisted upon several of the houses in the
High-street, over the Town-hall, and in various other
localities. The Hungarian flag floated conspicuously
over the Mayor's residence, and the street rapidly
filled with persons anxious to witness the arrival of his
Excellency at the Mayor's town house, Above Bars,
where it had been arranged by his Worship, that the
various deputations from several towns should be in-
troduced to Kossuth to present addresses to him.
It was expected that the American Minister would
attend the dinner here, but at four o'clock a letter
was received from his Excellency, stating that he was
unable to leave home from indisposition, and that he
was unwillingly obliged to be absent.
At five o'clock Kossuth proceeded to the Mayor's
residence in the High-street, when addresses were
presented to him by the Mayor of Leicester, accom-
panied by Mr. Harris, M.P.; from Sheffield, by Mr.
Isaac Ironsides ; and from Edinburgh, Leeds, and
Sunderland, by the Mayor of Southampton.
Kossuth promised to reply to these addresses at an
early opportunity.
Mr. F. O'Connor came down by a late train, and
hastened to wait on Kossuth, and to pour on him
great professions of friendship and devotion, declaring
he would die in his cause, shed his blood, &c., and
calling on the people to cheer for " the Great
Citizen," and lending much activity to the appearance
of the apartment. The Hon. Member's blandishments
were not very well received, though they were very
pressing.
At six o'clock Kossuth, escorted by a large assem-
blage of people, who cheered him tremendously, re-
paired to the banquet, which took place at the old
Town-hall, over the Bar-gate. The room was hand-
somely decorated. The name of the guest was
emblazoned in flowers on the wall, the Hungarian
banner from New York was suspended from the ceil-
ing, and the walls were draped with banners—the
standards of England, America, Turkey, and the
municipal flags. A number of ladies, in full dress,
were seated on the benches generally occupied by the
judges, barristers, and attorneys.
About 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner. On the
right of the Mayor were Kossuth, Lord D. Stuart,
the Hon. J. Walker, Mr. Willcox, M.P., Mr.
Wyld, M.P., Mr. Alderman Wire, Mr. Gilpin,
&c. On the left were Colonel J. B. Lawrence
(attache to the United States Legation, son of
the American Minister, who was detained in town
by the indisposition of Mrs. Abbott Lawrence),
Lord C. Fitzroy, Sir J. C. Lillie, Mr. Croskey
(United States Consul, in his Consular uniform), M.
Pulsky, General Vetter, &c. ; Mr. F. O'Connor, M.P.,
Mr. Harris, M.P., General Klapka, M. Vikovitz,
Minister of Justice; Count Andrasby, Lieut.-Col.
Szulczewski, and many distinguished Hungarians
now in this country.
While the dinner *as progressing, Mr. F. O'Con-
nor, who was seated some distance away from the
principal persons, came up and addressed Kossuth,
saying—" I love you. My heart is yours," &c., at
the same time grasping hie hand.
The MAYOR started up and said—'
this."
Mr. O'CoteNoa—Why, what's the matter ?
The Mavon—l won't allow this. I have been in
the habit of attending at public dinners, and I cannot
permit any interruption of this kind.— (Loud cheers
and groans for Mr. O'Connor.) I must request you
to resume your seat.
Mr. O'Connor did so, with an attempt at a smile on
his face. Subsequently be rose to speak, but was put
down by a volley of groans, cries of " Order," and
hisses, and was obliged to content himself with calling
for cheers for Kossuth. He left the room in the
course of the evening.
The cloth having been removed,
The MAYOR said—l rise with great pleasure to
propose the first toast of the evening, which I am sure
will be received with enthusiasm and affection, not
only by every Englishman, but by every friend of
ours in foreign countries—it is " The health of our
beloved Queen."—(Loud cheers, in the midst of
which Mr. Walker exclaimed, " One cheer more,
from Americans.")
The MAYOR again rose and said—l rise with much
pleasure to propose the next toast, " The health of
the Consort of our beloved Queen," and if ever fo-
reign nations could acknowledge honours as due to
the Royal Consort, they were this year due to Prince
Albert.—(llear, hear.) The conception of tbe Ex-
hibition emanated from his Royal Highness, from
which England, especially the working classes, has
already reaped many advantages, and from which we
are likely to reap many more. I beg therefore to
propose, and I am sure you will drink with all en-
thusiasm, " The healths of Prince Albert and the
Royal Family."—(Loud cheers.) ivi

was to do honour to some gallant admirtli and officers
who had come over to England from Turkey on a
mis•ion of peace and goodwill. We then urged on
them our anxious desire and wish that Kossuth
should be free—(Cheers)—and we informed them
farther, that the Sultan bad passed his word that on
the 30th of September Kossuth should be set at
liberty. They assured us, that if the Sultan had
once passe,' his word, he would keep
it —(Loud
cheers.) And keep it he did ; everlasting honour to
the noble Sultan—Kossuth is free.—(Loud cheers.)
In defiance of the despotic tyrants of Russia and Aus-
tria, he did set him free, although his territory was
threatened to be invaded by the hordes of Russian
serfs and Austrian tyrants; but the Sultan knew
there was a John Bull, and his sturdy son Jonathan,
who were always ready to defend justice, truth, and
liberty. God grant that they may always continue
united, and then there can be no danger of the world's
freedom.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing
the " Health of the Turkish Sultan."
The MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, " The
President of the United States," expressed the plea-
sure which be felt in seeing present the son of that
distinguished gentleman, Mr. Abbott Lawrence. He
was not able to be present himself, but by sending
such a substitute be had done everything in his
power to support the cause which they had met to
uphold.— (Cheers.)

scourging of women. Your sympathies are for these
things, because you say that order is restored." For
himself he could 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 tbat evening at seeing the welcome they
had given to their illustrious guest, who, struggling
for the liberties of his country, had lust 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, he 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 of the nation. He 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 our, and he was obliged to hide him-
self in the dusthole of a pot- house. The Kaiser and
the Czar had heard of the disgrace of llaynau, and
they might depend upon it that they would hear of
the triumph of Kossuth.—(Cheers.) He was told
that a courier had started for Vienna the very mo-
ment the news reached London of Kossuth's landing
at Southampton. He was deeply gratified at their
presence there to-night, and if ever he was over-
powered with joy, it was at the present moment. "It
overflows with joy," continued the worthy chairman,
addressing Kossuth, "to see you, sir, 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 Kossuth."

_ .
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 cccasion on
which I have the honour to express my must 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, be has
gained all that is rt quisite 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 instinc-
tively. 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 become free—my people,
than whom I can say no people on earth are better
deserving to be 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,
" Thou 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
to 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-
jesty 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 for
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 country
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 meaning 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 question 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 so 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 has 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 public opinion as the debates in Parliament.
—(Cheers.) I know what is convenient to inn 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 of the glories of my poor nation, that at
all times, in present days as well as in former times,
when my forefathers bled for freedom of conscience,
there were in Hungary Catholics who were
ready to fight and to struggle, by peaceful means
as well as in the field, for freedom of conscience
and 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 Jesuitism—(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 be
sufficient to say that the freedom of the Protestants
in Hungary was secured by 'awe and pacifications on
which the existence of the house of Hapsburgh 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. The Kings of Hungary were always in
former times anxious not to allow mucl: to meddle
and chiefly not to allow the Court of Rome to meddle
with the temporal affairs of Hungary, so tlataou
glorious King, Matthias Corvonus, an Hungarian b
birth, seeing the encroachments of the Roraai,i.Court

Hungary, answered the Pope inthese words
