lief to her adventurous husband TO the
frozen regions fthe North, or to ascertain
his fate and that Of his companions. Such
devoted affection deserves to be reward

demonstrating efAis nat ieac-
ing Ne0 York onIy 10 return TO Europe!
A committee of the City Council Of Phil
adelphia waited up Mr.. kossuth, in New
York, on Saturday. at the Irving House,
and presented him copy Of the resolu-
tons of invitation passed by the corpo-
rate authorities. A short and eloquent
address was made TO him by f. Y. Far
quar-, Esq, TO which he replied substan-
TALLY as follows:
THAT he was extremelyrejoiced at this
demonstration on the part of Philadelphia
and that he feltihe highest qualification in
being thus honored by the glorious cor
poration of that renowned city. Before
he left Europe, one of the pleasures he
had promised himself was to meet and
minge with the citizens of that great city
where the declaration of Independence
had been proclaimed; and he felt now
particularly anxious to visit the hallowed
spot where that immortal charter had been
adopted. But, he went on to say, that,
at the present moment, it was quite i'm
possible for him to declare at what time
he could go there. and that, indeed, it was
not certain that he could go there at all.
His object in visiting this country was not
a personal one-he did not come to pro-
mote any selfish purpose, and he could not,
tn. refore, do anything that was calculated
merely to crafty himself His object
was to promote the great cause Of liberty
throughout tn world, and especially in
Hungary: and while he was sure the peo-
pie ofthe United States sympothizcd in
that object, he conld not but say that he
was deeply distressed at the action taken
by Congress. He had the highest re-
spect and regard for Congress-he recog-
nized it as the exponent of the national
will, and in view of what it had done, his
own movements were necessarily embar-
raised. Wcther lie would be content to
90 beyond New York he could not yet say;
but he was free to declare, that had the
proceedings in Congress to which he had
advcrted reached him before he left Eu-
rope he would have hesitated about com
ing TO this country at Ill. And as it was,
with the utmost gratitude to all who be-
slowed on such marks ofkindness as the
city of Philadelphia had offered, and es-
pecially with sentiments of sincere regard
for Philadelphia and its citizens, he must
defer for day or two any positive reply
to the request which had been made Of
him.
