From the Philadelphia North american, Jan. 10.
Arrival and Reception OF distinguished
Hunxurians.

| HunKarians.
Governor Ujhazy, lady and daughter, Mile ia
CELLO, Col. Pragai, and Captain Edward kemen "
vision, p. ", arrived here last evening, ut O'Clock
in the twelve o'clock line from New York, and took
lodgings at GLASS; Washington House, where their
comrades, whose arrival we announced on Tuesday
Were staying.
| The distinguished guests, after resting short
time from the fatigue of their journey, and partak-
ing of some Refreshments, in company with the
other Hungarians who had preceded them to this
city, repaired, under civil and military escort to
the Chinese Museum, the lower saloon Of which was
crowded with highly respectable assemblagc OF
ladies and gentlemen. Here they met with a most
enthusiastic reception.
| The platform was occupied by the ilustrious Wis
tiers, the committee OF reception, and the escort
| and the chair was taken by General Jones Gov
ernor Ujhazy and his brave companions were wei
coined TO our shores and the Inequalities OF our
city by the Rev. Mr. Bowers, in the Latin tongue.
Captain Antoine Remenyi, one Of the young Hun
garian officers on behalf Of Governor Ujhazy, re-
piled in broken English--making neat speech, in
| which there was happy allusion to Philadelphia,
the place where the declaration of the indcpend-
ence of the United Colonies of America was promul-
gated
Governor Uihazy, lady, daughter, and sons, and
Mile Jagello, the heroine of Hungary, Count Vass,
and the other Hungarian officers, were then intro
duccd to the meeting, and were received with the
warnicst and most vehement bursts of applause.
The honored strangers afterward retired, amid
the most deafening cheers, and were conducted to
the Walnut street theatre On reaching this house,
they loudly cheered by the crowd at the door,
and upon their entrance, the audience rose en-
masss, and greeted them with hearty paudits, the
waving of hats, handkerchiefs, and other marks Of
honorable welcome; while the orchestra played
patriotic piece, concluding with national airs
of Hail Columbia and Yankee Doodle.
The visitors occupied centre box in the first
circle, the front of which hung with graceful
festoonings of the Hungarian, German, and Amer
lean flags, happily entwined, and forming an cx-
ceedingly appropriate tout ensemble. They were
severally introduced to the audience, who extended
to them the most respectful and cordial reception;
after which the performance proceeded. On leav
ing the house, the audience again rose in body,
and warmly cheered them. The guests now re-
turned to their hotel.
Governor Ujhazy is fine, noble parsonage, of
patriarchal appearance, and social demeanor, with
a face expressive of great firmness, mixed with
striking amiability. He wore in his hat red
feather.
Mile Jagello is a most interesting lady. She
does not appear to be more than twenty four years
Of age, and looks like any thing else than female
soldier. Her figure is of the petite order, her face
Of the German mould, and she has a sweetness Of
expression that has more OF the delicate innocence
Of the coy maiden about it than the masculine
roughness of the Magyar Hussar. Her quick,
piercing, sparkling eye lends romantic enchant
ment to her countenance, that would be captivating
even in the woman whose name had never been
coupled with fame.
Theyounger Remenyi-the Hungarian minstrel
attracted much attention. He is yet youth, and
peing dressed In the pure hungarian costume OF
red jacket and cap, he was next to Mile Jagello,
the observed Of all observers.
Mile Jagello was attired with exquisite taste.
She wore simple dress Of rich black silk, white
bonnet with red inside trimming, and black veil,
and her feminine fingers were encased in white kid
gloves. She entered and departed from the muse
um and theatre, leaning upon the arm of Captain
Isaac Wayne Divine, who acquitted himself in the
most gall ant manner.
Last night, the Hungarians were serenaded at
the Washington House by large and splendid
band of German musicians.
We learn that the of Independence Hall has
been placed at the disposal of the committee of
oepton from twelve until three O'Clock day, and
that the liberty of the city will be extended to the
visiters by the mayor, in the name of our citi-
zens.
This evening, the officers of the first division,
Pennsylvania volunteers, in uniform, will pay
their respects to the exiles, at their lodgings.
Governor Ujhazy and suite, we understand, will
start for Washington city on tomorrow.
