REPLY KosSUTH.
Kossuth replied that he felt happy and honored TO
receive SO kind testimonial from the citizens of
Virginia. Who had thus united with their brethren of
the North in welcoming him to America. He allu-
ded the value of the Union, and congratulated his
visitors upon being the inhertors of the great legacy
of liberty, which had been won for them by the la
bors and sacrifices of their fathers, and upon being
natives of State which had given to the world such
illustrious men as those named by Major Lee. He
said in regard the invitation rendered him, that he
felt it proper say frankly, that he shou Id feel bound
TO wait for invitation proceeding either from
State municipal bodies. but would be glad to feel
that the present invitation would be the first link con-
Meeting him a closer acquaintance with Old Vir-
GINA, and ended by gratefully repeating ais thanks
for the courtesy of his visitors.
DEPUTATION Pass.
Kossuths View Of the Course Of Congress. Messrs.
Parke Goodwin, g. A. Dana, and G. Mathews had an
interview with kossuth Monday morning a
Committee from the Press to solicit his attendance
upon public banquet, to be given at such time as
might suit his convenience. M. kossuth received
the committee with great cordiality, and expressed
his warm thanks for the compliment. He apprecia-
ted fully the importance OF the press, which he char
actesed the great power of the age and said that
ed to him. He felt greatly embarrassed to his
stay in this country by the action of Congress. He
said he should probably have come to the United |
States upon his release from captivity, whether he
had been invited not, because his high admiration
Of the institutions and people of America had made
him long desIrous of visiting shores. But he |
had come wholly of his own motion. He had come
1t the invitation Of Congress; and he felt bound,
therefore, to abide by their expressed will to re-
naming. If they should reject the resolution now
before them, which simply declares he is welcome
1ere he could draw other inference than that he
not wanted, and of course he should withdraw. He
should consider the door shut in his face. But if
his should prove to be So, it would give him
great pleasure accept the dinner rendered by the
press at early day after the entertainment Of the
common council suit the convenience of its
members. ....
The POLICY OF KossUTH-His Purpose tn Com
ng TO The United STATES. AS many rumors and sur
nses have been recently set aoat relative the pur
owing explanation of his intentions, which ind
n the New York papers, received last night, and aP
,arently published his authority, will tend 10
ect all erroneous impressions upon the subjects |
''kossuih simply asks that England and America
hall unite in affirming the policy that every nation
hall have the right to make and alter its political
Institutions to suit its condition and convent
nce,' and that the two nations (England and Amer
cay shall only respect, but to be respected,

ng her armies into Hungary. 1t is true that the
nal power Of our country must stand behind its d-

MS position he nSlds that there would be danger

TODD that England and America agree In maintaining
his doctrine and Russia would certai:lY respect it,
