An Interpreter then inquired if he should translate
the speech for Kossuth. upon which he said 1
rot able 10 answer the General IN the language in
which he spoke, but there is such sympathy in his
actor and such meaning in his manner, that 1t Is
impossible for me not to discover his sentiments
which are so much in harmony with his actions and
his demeanor. think it unnecessary to translate
the speech, for have heard it and understand 1t
# l did not l should like it translated.
deputation Of Germans then came forward and
presented Kossuth with an address, to which he
briefly responded observing that he felt the Of
Germany was almost identical with the cause of
Hungary and after thanking the deputation for the
noble wishes of the German population Of the Island
toward him and Hungary, he hoped TO hear Of the
prosperity of the German provinces.
Dr. Doane then came forward and presented to
Kossuth great number of ladies', most Of whom
considered themselves honored in taking his friendly
hand.
This concluded the ceremonies IN the tent, and
the procession again formed, paraded round the
Island for a considerable distance, and then re-
turned TO tie Quarantine, where the Hungarian
Caief received with great rejoicing by hundreds
of persons who waited for the return of the process

Description of kossuti.
Gov. Kossuth is rather taller than we had
supposed, and his face has an expression Of
penetrating intellect which Is not indicated in
any portrait we have seen II is long, the FORE
head broad, but not excessively high, though
slight badness makes it seem so, and the
chin narrow, but square in its form. His hair is
thin in front and OF dark brown, as is MS beard,
which is quite long, but not very thick, and
arranged with neatness and taste His NOUS
tache is heavy and rather long. His eyes are
very large and of light blue his complexion
is pale like THAT Of man who is not in perfect
health, and his appearance yesterday was that
Of the spirit bearing up against the exhaustion
and had not slept for two or three nights. His
manner in speaking is at once incOmparably dig
nifed and graceful. Gestures more admirable
and effective, and play of countenance more ex-
pressive and magnetic, we remember in no other
public speaker. He stands quite erect, and does
not bend forward like some orators, to give en-
phasis to sentence. His posture and appearance
in repOse is imposing not only from their essential
grace and dignity, but from sense of power they
impress upon the beholder This sense Of I'M
used power, this certainty that he is not making
an effort and doing his utmost, but that behind
all this strength of fascination, there are other
treasures of strength, other stores of ability not
brought into use, possibly never brought into use,
is perhaps what constitutes the supreme charm
of his oratory. He speaks as if with little pre-
paratlon, and with that peculiar freshness which
belongs to extemporaneous speaking; there is
no effort about it, and the wonderful compactness
and art of his argument are not felt until you re-
fleet upon it afterward. His every movement Is
perfectly easy and he gesticulates good deal,
equally well with either arm. Nothing could be
more beautiful in its way than the sweep of his
right hand, as it was raised to Heaven, when he
smile which at times mantles his face. His
voice is not very loud, and more evinced ex-
haustion than either his face or his general bear
ing, but it was heard distinctly through the large
pavilion On the whole our previous impress
sion was perfectly confirmed by hearing him
Yesterday. Beyond doubt he is the greatest of
orators now living, and we shall not easily be-
heve that in that capacity he has ever been ex-
celed.
In speaking, KoSsuth occasionally referred to
notes which lay on the stand before him. He
was dressed after the Hungarian fashion, in
black velvet tunic, single breasted, with standing
collar and transparent black buttons. He also
wore an overcoat or sack of black velvet with
broad fur and loose sleeves. He wore light kid
gloves.
Generally his English is fluent and distinct,
with marked foreign accent, though at times
this is not at all apparent. He speaks rather
slowly than otherwise, and occasionally hest
tates for a word His command OF the language,
astonishing as il is in a foreigner, seems rather
the result of an utter abandonment to his thought
and a reliance on that TO express itself, than OF
an absolute command of the niceties OF the
grammar and dictionary. He evidently has no
fear of speaking wrong, and so, as by inspiration,
expresses himself often better even than one to
whom the language is native and familiar.
Though he often uses words with foreign mean
ing, or meaning different from that we usually
give them, he does not stop to correct himself,
but goes on as ii there were no doubt that 1t
would be apprehended Just as he meant It,
Incidents, &c.
During the most of yesterday morning
before breakfast, kossuth was engaged In looking
