which stands the mighty pyramii of your great

world. have the most warm wish that the sta,

sign of mankind's divine origin; and taking INV
ground on this principle of union, which / find

fact, it is not to party, but to the united people
of the United States that confidently will ad
dress my humble requests for aid and protection
to oppressed humanity. ! will eonscientiously
respect your laws, but within the limits Of your
laws will use every honest exertion to gain
your operative sympathy and your financial ma

and independence, and entreat the realization Of
these hopes which your generosity has raised in
me and my peoples breasts, and also in the
breasts of Europe's oppressed nations. And
therefore, thirdly, j beg leave frankly to state
that my aim is to restore my fatherand to the
full enjoyment of that act of declaration of in
dependence, which being the only rightful ex-
listing public law of my nation. Can nothing
have been lost Of its rghtfulness by the violent
INVASION Of foreign Russian arms, and which
therefore, is fully entitled to be recognized by
the people of the United States, whose very re
sistance is founded upon a similar declaration OF
Independence? Thus having expounded my
aim, beg leave to state that ] came not to your
glorious shores to enjoy happy rest / came
not with the intention to gather trumphs Of. per
sonal distinction, or to be the object of popular
shows; but came an humble petitioner in my
country's name, as its freely chosen constitu-
tiona chief. What can be opposed to the recog-
milton, which is a logical necessary consequence
Of the principle Of your country's political ex-
istence? What can be opposed to it? The
frown of Mr.. llusemann--the anger of that
SATELLITE Of the Car, called Francis Joseph of
Austria; and the immense danger with which
some European and American papers threaten
you, and by which, of course, you must fell ex
tremely terrified, that your minister at Vienna
will have offered his passports, and that Mr.
Hulsemann elvas Washington, should | be re.
ceived and treated in nv official capacity? Now,
as to your minister at Vienna, how you can com
bine the letting him stay there with your opinion
Of the cause of Hungary, really don't know; ;
but so much know, That the present absolutis.
teal atmosphere OF Europe is not very propi-
tious to American principles.
know Il IN IN who could tell some curious
facts about this matter, But As to Mr.. Huse-
mann, really don't believe that he would be so
ready to leave Washington. He has extremely
well digested the caustic pills which Mr.. Web
ster has administered to him so gl0riousy; but
after all, know enough of the public spirit Of
the sovereign people of the United States, that
it would never admit to whatever responsible
depository of the executive power, should he
even be willing to do so, which, to be sure, your
hgh-minded government is not willing to do,
to be regulated in its policy by all the Hulse.
MAINS or all the Francis Josephs in the world
So confidently hope that the sovereign of this
country, the people, will make the declaration
of Independence of Hungary soon formally re-
cognIzed and that it will not care bit for it il
Mr.. Hulseaiann takes tomorrow his pass. ports,
bon uOyase to him. But it is also my agreeable
duty 10 profess that am entirely convinced
that the government OF the United States shares
warmly the sentiments of the people in that
respect. IL has proved it by executing in a
ready and dgnified manner the resolution of
Congress to consider hos shall be treated and
received, and even this morning was honored,
by the express order of the government bv an
official salute from the batteries OF the United
States, ia such manner in which, according to
the military rules, only public, high official ca
pacity can be greeted. Having thus expounded
my aim, beg leave to state that came not TO
Your glorious shores to enjoy happy rest,
came not with the intention to gather personal
dsincton but because an humble petitioner,
in my count-y's name as its freely chosen con-
sttuiional chief, humby TO. entreat your gener.

devote every moment of my time with the more
assiduity, the more resilessness, as every mo-
ment may bring report Of events which may
call me TO hasten to my place on the battlefield,
where the great, and hope the last hattie will
be fought between liberty and despotism.
A moment marked by the finger food to be
so near that every hour ofdelay ofyour generou.
aid may prove fatally disastrous to oppressed
humanity, and thus having stated my position to

my oppressed country, let me respectfully ask,
do you not regret to have bestowed upon me
the honor of this glorious reception, unpara.

Lafayette in similar way but Lafayette had
