are stout built, athletic men, with fine features

were dressed in the Turkish costume, and wore the

It seems there two parties OF Hungarians on

other against him, and in avcr OF Count Bahyan

in the of lew days. by the party opposed to

with Kossuth and would not embark in the Mssissp.

been the result.
THE ALLEGED MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN KoSsUTH
AND THE OFFICERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
We have seen the apartments allotted TO Kossuth
and his family. They consisted of sitting room,
and three bed rooms-or rather, one bed room neatly
divided by curtains, one compartment having bed
for kossuh another for his wife, and another for his
children:
Kossuth and his companions had perfect freedom to
do what they pleased, and the best understanding ex
listed between them during the entire voyage.

end. 1t is equally false that there any difficulty
between him and the captain other officers of the
ships and authorized by the captain, the doctor
and other officers, to give the statement the fullest
contradiction. The officers speak in The highest
erms of admiration OF Kossuth, and some of them al
most worship him, and say that they cannot find
words to convey their ideas of this great man.
The officers of the Mississippi describe Hossuth as
man OF about five feet eight inches high, and slim
IN his frame. He leans his head rather forward in
walking He has blush gray eyes, which are far
apart, aud full though the projecting brows, which
are common to most great men, make his eyes look
smaller than they are. His forehead is broader than
high proportion and his head is altogether, finely
developed. He has all the appearance of literary
man. He is of very sansuine temperament, and is
a great smoker. He perfect orator. and his spen.
did voice is clear bell, and loud and distinct.
He graceful and elegant in action and speaker,

Hungary still hid in that country, for another day.
The following letter to the Mayor of New York,
brought by the Mississippi, contains the as
signed by Kossuth for visiting England before COM
