has been in "a state of great excitement in
consequence of preparations to receive the
illustrous Louis kossuth. At an early
, /, hour, the arrangements of decoration upon
public and private houses occupied the at

made the city uncommonly lively. Crowds
of citizens from all directions poured down
Broadway and around the Battery, all ca

Louis Kossuth. The day being fine, there
was nothing to prevent the fullest enjoy
