When the Austrian Government party found
that Kossuth and his companions OF the reSolu-

traitoriOus conduct of one Of Kossuths Generals,
the whole Austrian Empire would to-day be re-

But we took upSur pen TO introduce an ae-

Is deeply affecting, and IL Is hard 10 read It with
other than moistened eyes
Tuesday evening the Turkish steamer sailed for
the Dardanells. Within half an hour after cas-
ting anchor there, Capt. Long sent word to Gov.
Kossuth, expressive OF his desire to come and pay
his respects to him. On his arrival he was re-
engagements were made for the transfer, which
was completed by SO'ClOck.
On the arrival Of Gov. Kossuth on board Of the
Mississippi. all the officers Of tho Mississippi
were formed in q circle NSSNNA MIN, NSM rs

his eyes, and int0nstions of voice oxp1essi1g The
deepest feeling, he uttered few sentiments, an
nouneing his Joy at finding himself under the
protection of the glorious stripes and stars of the
freest nation in tho world. Capt. Long, who had
already addressed Gov. X. once on board the
Turkish frigate, began again to speak in an
swer, but his bosom swelled too much with
emotion. Tears stood in his eyes and in tho eyes
of all the officers and men. and his speech was

When this order had been heartily responded TO-
still Capt. Long, in his joy and sympathy, could
add nothing better than Three cheers more for
Gov. Kossuth."
Great preparations are being made in n, York
and the Eastern cities in general, for the recep-
ton of this noble martyr of freedom. No man
since the DAYS of Lafayette, nus landed upon our
shores whose welcome was one half as hearty as
that which awaits him. The President has or
dercd national salutes to be fired on his arrival,
at the naval stations, and q grand dinner will bc
given him at the White House. New York Is in
whiFl of excitement in anticipation of his
coming, and when he enters the haTbOr it will be
amid the thunders of artillery, whose echoes we
greatly desire shall reach the ears of European
tyrants-both of Church and State, for PTiesteraft
and Kingcraft go together there ; and IL is hard
to decide which is the most cruel.
Kossuth is poctcal, yet powerful writer, and
it is said that even now, his voice in Hungary
would stir up o second revolution. The people

the American people, from his pen, has just been

Two years ago by Gods providence, !. who
would be only an humble citizen, held in my
hands the destiny of the roigning house OF
Austria.
Had / boon ambitious, or had believed that
this trcacherOus family were so basely wicked
they aftcrward proved themselves to be, the tot
tering pillars of their throne would have hllen
at my command, and buried the crowned traitors
beneath their ruins, would have scattered
them like dust before temPcst homeless eNilos,
bearing nothing but the remembrance of their
perfidy, and that royalty which they deserved to
lose through their own wickednoss.
Free citizens of America from your history,
rs from the star of hope in midnight gloom, We
drew our confidence and resolution in the doubt
full days of severe trial. Accept, In the name of
my c, untrymcn, this declaration rs q tribute of
gratitude. And you, excellent people, who were
worthy to be chosen by the Almighty as an OK
ample to show the world how TO deserve free
dom, how to win it, and how to use it-you will
allow that the HungnrAns, though weaker aud
less fortunate than you, through the dccaying in
hucnce of the old European society, are not un-
worthy to be your imitators, and that you would
be pleased to the stars of your glorious flag
elnblaZon the double cross of the Hungarian coat
Of-arms. When despotism hurled defiance at us,
and began the bloody war, your inspiring cN-
ample upheaved the nation as one man, and 10
gions, with all the means of war, appeared to
raise from nothing, as the tender grass shoots up
after spring showers.
Though we were inferior in numbers TO the en-
cmy, and could not compare with their well
trained fOTces-though our arms were shorter
