| We yield up the greater portion OF our space
to-day to the very interesting and eloquent
speech delivered by KossUTH at the Southamp
ton festival. 1t will richly repay an attentive
perusal-for it not only throws much light on
the great controversy in which the Hungarian
patriot has borne so conspicuous part but very
clearly indicates his own present views and Po
sition in reference to it at the present time. Az
we had confidently anticipated, the arrival of the
Mississippi has dissipated the idle rumors sci
afoat to the disParagement of KossUTH, and the
officers of our navy, by over-busy and gossip
ping letter writers.
1t appears that the officers of the Mississippi
are highly indignant at these reports, and deny
their truth. Expressing, atShs same tlme' their
high admiration of his character.
The New York Post contains the following
conclusive testimony from one d its attaches,
who boarded the Mississippi, to obtain the ear
lest intelligence:
sour reporter, now on board the United
States frgate Mississippi, sends us the following:
The officers of the Mississippi are indignant at
duct of Kossuth. They say, nobody was au-
thorized to make the representations which have
been made Kossuth, they report is noble
tact with him. The letter writer's and attaches
must take the back track"
will the New York Tribune, and its fellow
assaants on the officers Of the navy, now do
justice to them, and apologize for their previous
abuse--for Gas we have never doubted) both
they and KossUrH have mutually acted towards
each other as gentlemen" should
1t is not improbable, from the tenor of those
advices, that KossUTH is now on his wa to this
country.
A private letter in the New York Times, Gays,
it was KossUTH's intention to remain in England
ten days, and then proceed to this country on
one Of the steam packets:
LONDON, Oct "a, 1851.
Kossuth has arrived. His ad-
mrable discourse at Southampton, which is in
The Times of this morning, has produced to-day
an immense sensation. = There may be
some feeling in America on account of Kossuth
coming first to Southampton but long before
the Mississippi was sent, he had made arrange
ments for putting his children to school here
Mr.. Golden having kindly offered to take charge
Of his daughter. 1t was to settle his wife and
children, as he had all along proposed to do,
that he wished TO touch at Southampton, and
one would suppose that the public feeling Of the
United States would censure either the captain,
who refused to bring him here and wait three
days for him, or the Secretary of the Navy, il
this act were caused by the stringent instruc.
tons to the captain Mr.. Secretary Walker
who is here, blames the captain much, declaring
that England, by her efforts, had done enough
apart from considera ions of his family,) to
justify Kossuth in stopping here few days on
his way to America. He proposes now to re-
main ten days, and then take one of the packet
steamers"
The tone and tenor of his speeches in Eng.
land have disappointed both friend and foe from
their conservative character. Instead of being
a Red Republican, he inclines the other way
and seems disposed to lean to the side of a con
stitutional monarchy on the English, rather thar
republic on the American model.
Our minister and consul, as well as ex-Sec
rotary ROBERT J. WALKER, have called upor
him, and assured him of cordial welcome in
this country, which he assuredly will receive, in
despite of his epistolary assalants, Austrian OF
attache.
