KossuIh.

We CLEAN the following particulars, relating 10
Kossuth and his movements, from papers brought
by the Atlantic
The CorTiere Mercantile quotes letters from Spec
zia of the 22d, stating that the inhab of that
town, on being informed that Kossuth was on board
the Mississippi, made great demonstrations in
honor OF his arrival. The town was illuminated,
rockets were let of, and large number of boats
gaily decked out, surrounded the Mississippi,
luting hossuth with music and cheers. The Anne
rican commodore, who Is taking the waters at
Lucca, has been TO La Spezzia to compliment him.
At Marseilles the steamer only put in for Goals,
and was TO depart Immediately for England No
person disembarked from her. but several of the
merchants VIZ mt on board.
Zsigmond Wekey, Kossuih's aide de-camp, was
at Southampton, England, waiting his arrival.
The anxiety to hear news of the great Hungarian
patrio, is most singular. The intelligence that he
had reached Smyrna read with extraordinary
interest, and nothing in Lord Palmerston' speech
at Tiverton gave greater satisfaction than the
statement that kossuth as far as the English gov
eminent was concerned, was at liberty to go where
he pleased when he left Turkey. Portraits Of Kos
suth exhibited in all the Southampton print
sellers' and booksellers shops. Anxious inquiries
had been made at the American consulate at South
ampton to the movements of the Mississippi,
but nothing known there. ehoud Kossuth
land at Southampton, magnificent banquet was
TO be given him, Upwards OF twenty chief ma
gistrates OF cities and boroughs had written to the
Southampton authorities requesting permission to
attend the banquet.
The London committee, appointed in May, 1850,
to superintend the distribution of the subscriptions
raised in aid of the Hungarian exiles, had been
summoned to proceed Immediately to Southamp-
ton receiving The communication by telegraph
of his arrival in order that the necessary arrange
ments might be made according to circumstances
on the spot to sympathize with and congratulate
the illustrious patriot.
In the London Common Council, Mr.. Gilpin had
given the following notice OF motion: "That this
court do present ar address of congratulations to
Louis Kossuth, his liberation from captivity and
arrival in this country, and that the said address
be presented In open court" This notice is said
to be preparatory to making kossuth the guest of
the city. The impression is general tsays one
writer) that Kossuth will return from the United
States to reside in England. SO long as he only
knows where the Hungarian crown is hidden-a
crown so connected with the popular super.
sttion Of the people, that without having worn
il upon his brows king emperor ever
gain the prestige of legitimate rule in Hunga-
ry-Kossuth possesses power beyond even him
SELF for the possession of which Austria would bar
gain her richest duchy.
The Vienna correspondent of the Daily Ne,rs
writes thus: simultaneous almost with the arri-
val Of Kossuth and hie companions on English
soil, the Austrian government displayed at Pesth
In the moot glaring coors, the fate which English
sympathy, pertinacious and prompt, and Turkish
good faith, have succeeded in saving them from.
