alike Lafayette, he had been in Austrian dun

man who had done more, they believed, for the
cause of liberty, than any other man of the present
century. He would conclude by proposing the

KossUTH's LONDON SPEECH.
After having seen such a manifestation here,
may be allowed to ask, who are the oppressors o
the world who will not feel that the voice of thu
people of England must make way like ashot from
cannon? Oh, it is my hope that the manly
sense, the manly energy the loud voice of the PEG
pie of England, will prove the trumpet call for thu
regeneration of the world. Loud cheers. Ny
lord and gentlemen, it is the proudest moment o.
my life, as well as one full of painful recollections
in which have the high honor to receive this mos
gracious address, in which you, my Lord Mayor
Aldermen, and Common Council in common coun
Gil lawfully assembled, pleased, in such solemn
manner and with such generous words, to assure
me that you have watched the past struggles o
Hungary for freedom and independence, to which
1 have given the best of my humble efforts ; thai
you have watched the struggle with great inter
est; that you have warm sympathy for the no.
BILE cause which is the object of all my struggles
and congratulate me on my liberation out of cap
tivity:. [cheers.l
As to the practical result to which aggrieved hui
mainly, and especially my poor country, said Kos
suth still looks forward with manly resolution with
mistaken courage and hope-I repeat what have
elsewhere already said, when I said, let not your
sympathies remain barren; help to carry my ma
TONS cause to happy issue. You have the pow
err Help! When 1 spoke so 1 intended not to
ask England to take up arms for our liberties. No,
gentlemen, that is the affair of Hungary; we will
provide for our own freedom [Cheers. All I
wish is, that public opinion should establish as the
ruling principle in the politics of England, the &C
acknowledgement of the right of nations to dispose
of their own affairs-not to give a charter to the
Gar to dispose of whole nations, vehement and
prolonged cheering, and not to allow the nterfer-
ence of Russia in the domestic concerns either of
Hungary or of whatever nation on the continent,
because the freedom of all nations and the prosper
ity of all countries is dear to me as my own.
Yes, these words, again and again, and again re-
peat here in England, afterwards in the United
States and must add, that from one of the most
honored members of the States of America had
lately, the other day, the honor of hearing senti-
ments which, once carried into effect will give lib
erty to the world. 1 heard proclaimed from one
of the most honored citizens of the United States

and confidence of great part of the countrymen

Chief Magistrate of the United States-I heard
him state in answer to this appeal, that he believed
ed that younger brother of the English race would
heartily give his support to England in protecting
my people, by not admitting the interference of
other nations. [Cheers.] 1 again and again re-
peat that world repeat it with the faith of mar
tyr in his principles-I repeat it with the faith
which removes mountains. l shall concentrate all
the fire of my sentiments, l shall concentrate all
the blood of my heart, and all the energies of my
mind, upon this cause. I shall repeat these words
high and loud, deep and emn, till the almighty
echo of public opinion, in repeating them, become
like the thunder sound before which the giant of
human oppression falls. Loud cheers. Sooner,
indeed, this feeble frame may succumb-sooner it
may succumb to the longing of this heart to see
my fatherland independent and free; which, long
ing beats everlastngy in my bosom, as the captive
lion beats against his iron cage but even then the
grass which grows over my grave will cry out to
England and America, ado not forget in your |
proud security, those nations who are oppressed
do not grant charter to the Car to dispose of
not grant charter to despots to
drown liberty in Europe's blood-save the millions
who otherwise must, the millions who will bleed
and, by not granting that charter be the Gberators
Of the world
The speaker, as at Southampton, went on to
comment upon the Entertainments of Russia, upon
he despotism of Austria, upon the power of Eng
and and London. We quote, however, one idea,
put forth to create doubt in English minds as
% the security of their loans to despotic govern
nents:
I" In managing their costly armies, and their no
costly diplomatic interests, the of their
people are exhausted, and they must come again
md again to the money market to obtain loans,
md every loan diminshes the resources from which
t must be paid. Who can guarantee that the ma
hese eternal loans, which are used against their
,wn liberties, will not rise under their moral and |
md material suffering and say, Let those who
made these loans pay them; we did not make
hem? Loud cheers. Such is the effect of alb
olutism on the money market Hear, hear. But
here is another prospect, also, with respect to the
louise of Hapsburg, and that is its inevitable bank
uptcy. You know very well that that government
las been obliged to make a loan of eight millions
gently. Was that to restore the balance of its
inances? Oh, no; but to get on for few months
onger, and then ask for another, their means of
aging the interest becoming worse with every
Dan. May I not say, without any enthusiasm, that
here is very early prospect that the restored ma
ions of Europe will not recognise these loans, or
'revent the bankruptcy 2" Hear.
Kossuth has addressed letter to Lord Dudley I,
stuart declining any pecuniary testimonial to him
elf, but exposing his readiness to receive all con-
rbutions profered to the cause of Hungary.
