Kossuth Is expected In England, and with some
thing Of the same lively sentiments of satisacton
with which the American people are anxiously
waiting his presence upon our shores The reoep-
tion Of Hsynau affords fine standard Of Judgment
Of what win be the reception Of Kossuth in London,
should he visit that great and populous city but
we are under some uncertainties in reference to the
plan of the voyage. There is said to have been
an understanding between the Austrian agents and
the Sublime Porte, that the exiles should proceed
to the United States direct 1t is, however, pro-
bable that the Mississippi, after landing Count
Bathyary and family in France, and after touching
for coal and supplies at Gibraltar, will proceed
northward to Southampton, in Difference to the
general expecta .ion of the English people. If she
does so, it may be a fortnight yet before the
arrival of the ship at this port. The Mississippi
il not so swift as the ,llns or Cunard stea mers,
and she may occupy from fifteen to eighteen
DAYS in crossing the Atlantic from Southampton;
so that had she sailed from England on the same
day with the Asia, her arrival here could hardly
be expected yet for several days. But the Mis-.
sissippi had not arrived at Southampton, nor at
Havre, nor even at Marseilles, from all that we
can gather from our news by the Asia. If it was
the intention, therefore, of the commander Of the
may be delayed for fortnight or three weeks yet
to come. On the other hand, assuming that the
voyage of the Mississippi will be direct to the
United States, from the Mediterranean, she my
be looked for, perhaps, as early as the 18th inst,
but not sooner.
But whatever the time Of the arrival, We are as
sured of the fact that the Mississippi, with Kos
suth and most of his companions from Asiatic
confinement, are coming, and will first land in the
United States at this port. We see that prepare
tons are on foot to do honor to the nan, and the
city, on the occasion of his arrival One
of liberal citizens has laid the basis, n the
of thousand dollars, Of hundsed thousand dol
lar subscription to the man, for the sake of the
cause. This is evidence of earnest enthusiasm.
Our gallant city volunteers and militia have also been
taking the necessary steps for general turnout on
the occasion But where can the military forml The
Park will not answer. 1t is obstructed by teo
many buildings, and is in a fair way of beng built
up completely. On the Battery! 1t is entirely too
narrow, and the trees not only impede all manoeavres
but prevent, with the wall Of houses in the rear,
any view Of the troops, and everything Ike sys-
tematic series of the commonest evolutions A
military officer has suggested to US that the ship
might land at the foot of Fourteenth street, along
which to Union Square the military could be
drawn up to greater advantage than at almost any
other point within the city. We cheerfully throw
out the suggestion for the consideration Of the
authorities in the matter.
In another part of the HERALD, to day, will be
found biographical sketch of the active career
of Kossuth down to the period Of the splendid and
terrible Hungarian revolutionary struggle of 1913,
with the history and hero of which the public are
familiar. With the in.roduc tory explanation
which accompanies 1t, we commend this sketch to
the attention Of our readers.
