the rapproachment of The material interests Of
the world to the principle of freedom, give full
security TO II TO pay the debts the governments
have made. But, when the nations of the
world zee that the money of the world is lent
toIoppressors, and identified again and again with
the principle of absolulism, do not know what
the consequence will he. Hear, hear be-
lieye with these few words | have proved that
the principle OF security to financial interests is
not in absolutism, but in the victory of the prn-
eiple of liberty in Europe Hear. This you
have seen in Hungary, having bestowed your
atten ion to struggles. You have seen
Hungary struggling under me for liberty
struggles not to injure any one--to have the
bless ng of all, bat not the curse of single
man. You have given your interest to our past,
your wishes for our future; let me again enireat
you, let not the sentiment Of London pass AS
barren sound you have the power--help! Hear,
hear. The seventh principle which | meet is
the consolidated peace of Europe. Such city
as London, with snch immense industry and
trade, wants the consolidated peace of Europe
Now, think you will see the peace of the
world is only possible when the nations of the
world will be content. The contentment of the
nations is such tree only in the garden of
liberty grows. Hear, hear So long as the
nations of Europe shall not be free, so long
there cannot be peace in Europe, because that
would not be peace, but prison, and this fair
world was not created ny God to be prison to
humanity hear, hear, neither is it created for
the jailor's sake Cheers. 1t is not long ago
that great assocation--the peace socety--had
meeting here in London; humanity greets the
existence of that society with hope. We will
have peace, but lasting and true peace, and
not oppression: slavery Now, this associa-
ton has proclaimed the principle of non-inter-
vention. Could there be found single man in
the world TO give such an Interpretation to this
principle of non interference th at whatever the
Car of Russia, or his satellite, Hapsburg,
should do with mankind and humanity Eng.
land would not care for it q! This is not non in
reference this is a letter of marque given to
the Car TO become the master of the world
Hear, hear T. principle of non-interfer
ence proclaimed even by the peace association
has this meaning Every nation is free to dis
pose of its domestic concerns according as it
is Wiling and England should not interfere, and
no foreign power should dare to interfere with
this sovereign right of the nation. Oppressed
humanity expects England TO execute and safe
guard this divine principle. Oppressed humanity
expects, in the name of all those mighty princi-
Piles | have had the honor to mention, London
to take a lead in the direction of public opin-
ion. Hear, hear.
And so, my lord and gentlemen, / could 90 on
in the enumeration of the principles which
meet here were not even so exhausted as you
are tired. Sill, once more, permit me to men
ton, it is the principle of generous humanity
England is the only spot in Europe which is an
asylum to those who are oppressed; London
ever generously partakes in that glory of Eng
land and you, my lord, and the corporation of
the cjtV of t.Opdnn uln rinnol,
sented the allotting to the generous undertaking
of the noble lord, (Lord ID. Stuart) whom |
long ago already am accustomed to call the |
father of the unfortunate hear,l allotting to
his undertaking in behalf of homeless exes |
these noble apartments, these glorious halls |
Hear. Permit me to express for this token of
your generous sympathy, my warmest thanks.
May the freedom of the world soon release You
from these cares. Hear, hear. Ihope it soon
will. Hear But in the meantime | wish
may never an iEnglishman be found adding the |
thorn of humiliation to the bitterness of the |
bread Of the poor unfortunate exile. Hear,
hear. My lord and gentlemen, in stating the |
principles of the place where | have the honor to |
stand, stated at the same tune the principles |
which you represent. | see spreading before |
my eyes the immense history of the municipality |
of London--the most glorious, the most nstruc !
I'll
this You know, being the inheritors of this glory
and Of this history SO will only state to you,
my lord MAYOR, aldermen, and commons of the |
city of London, in common council assembled
being the lawful representation of the city of |
London, are altogether the Incorporation, the |
lawful incorporation, of all those principles
which had the honor to enumerate. Such are
you, before whom |, in my humble quality, rep
resent that noble cause of Hungary the past
struggles of which YOU honored by your sym
pathy, and for the future, Of which you express
your generous wishes. | have often repeated
during my tiresome speech, the humble request
let your sympathies and your wishes not remain
barren. Hear, hear Now again, | repeat it
the more, because this practical sanction which
wish TO see impaired TO the noble sentiments
of the people of England Is, in the most intimate
connection with the principle of freedom, the
principle of lasting social order the principle of
institutions, with the principle Of in.
dustry and trade, with the principle of public
credit with the principle of the possibility Of the
peace OF the world, and with the principle Of
humanity
Az to the practical result to which apqrieved
humanity and especially my poor country, said
Kossuth, still looks forward with manly resolu
ton, with mistaken courage and hope-I repeat.
