The speeches Of Kessuth, yesterday, on the occa-
siop Of his reception by the citizens of Philadelphia
viii be read with great interest by all classes. This
ia his his first effort since the receipt of the start
Ling Intelligence from France, and may, there
fore, be considered as shadowing the ideas and ex-
pectations of the Magyar relative to the people o!
shis country. The consummation of Louis Napo-
leers co~p deat, Is was anticipated, has operated
with considerable force upon the feelings Of Louis
xessuth, and will, perhaps, compel him to take IN
carly stand upon platform which he would for .

the hungarian cause, but, on the contrary, de-
slsres his unaltered determination to lead in per-
ron, the army Of freedom against that of des-
potism

interest is now manifested in those phases as to
whether he pays them = visit or not. The truth is,

whole South BY the oficiousness Of the meddling
abctsnists, and it viii require the display of his
best o1sto-y TO reinstate himself in the good
opinion Of the people Of that quarter.
