the welcome intelligence of the liberation of
Kossuth and his gallans companions from

cabins were fitted up in the most elegant
manner, SO as to accommodate Kessuth, his
family, and all his party. A Turkish steam

them on board and TO ccnvey them to the
Dardanelles, where the Mississippi was to be
| in readiness to receive them. Nothing could
exceed the kindness and attention Of the Tur-
lkish Governments The Pacha Of Broussa,
/ in accordance with orders forwarded to him
from Constantinople, sent no less than fifty
carriages to conYcysthe exiles to the point Of
theirembarkation. Among those mentioned
as likely to accompany Kossutb, we find the
well known names Of the two Prezeles, of
