Minister and to the rumor that he would demand his
passports In he, Kossuth, received here in
his official capacity as Governor of Hungary. He
argues that he had been thus received and expresses
the hope that the people of this country will not care

that every moment Of his time is precious; that he
may receive, at early date report of events which
will call him to the battlefield where, he trusts. the
