WIS attended with much enthusiasm.
He passed from his lodgings in an open
carriage drawn 10y four grey horses,
through crowds ofpeople to GuildLall,
where he was received by the Lord
Mayor, who gave him hearty welcome.
Alter this, the Town Clerk presented
the congratula,ory address OF the Conn
mon Council Of London, and Kossuth
made somewhat extended reply. He
concluded by assuring the Corporation
that he did not wish for an armed inter-
ference in the cause of Hungary, but he
did desire to express an opinion that
Hungarian freedom was worthy oftheir
appreciation, and ought 10 prevail. Eng
land and America, he said, were the
patterns Of free nations, and their SYM
pathy would influence the other nations
of the world. He sat down amid loud
APPLAUSE.
In Liverpool an enthusiastic meeting
has been held and a warm congratula-

adopted. One sentence will give IN idea
OF the spirit of this address -
The decree Of Providence, by which
Austrian perfdy and Russian inlcrler-
ence have overwhelmed the Hungarian
nation, is, indeed, mysterious; but if be
fore that decree Hungary must for the
present bow in humble submission, we

ed hope of future redemption. We bid
