The Foreign News by the Atlantic has more than
usual interest. kossuth has gone to Manchester,
where he had very enthusiastic reception. At Bir-
mingham he was welcomed by an immense concourse
of people, numbering, according 70 of the esti-
mates, half million. At Manchester, he made a
speech of an hour and half; report of which,
however, has yet reached US. Before leaving Lon
don, he received addresses from great number of
deputations, and the brief speeches which he made
in reply, will be found in columns this morning.
They marked by great felicity of adaptation, and
by force and directness of style.
Lord John Resell. at the banquet upon the inau-
guration of the Lord Mayor of London, made a
brief speech which is we'll worth reading. He made
no alusion to Kossuth the Hungarian question,
but the very marked emphasis with which he insist
ed upon peace the great necessity of England, will
very naturally be supposed to have sprung, in some
degree at least from the discussions to which Kos
suth's visit has given rise.
Liert. PIN has undertaken a journey of ex-
ploraton in seach of Sir John franklin His project
announced at the Arctic Expedition dinner in
this city, by MIR. Young of The .4LbiOn and will be
found more fully stated by Lieut.. PIN himself, in
preceding column. 1t seems that the British Ad-
miralty has declined to connect itself with the ad ven
ture, and thai the only money offered for its aid, is
$500 from Lady Franklin. Lieut.. PIN proposes to
solicit additional assistance from the Emperor of
Russia. 1t is not at all unlikely that Nicholas may
offset to some extent the English prejudice excited
against him by Kossuth's visit, by Jealous Coop
Grafton in this Arctic search.
Events in France are fastening towards crisis.
Alarmed at the demonstrations of the President, the
questors of the Assembly proposed that the command
of the army should be transferred Of them 1t
is said that the proposition originated with Thiers
but it met with favor. The republican party, sid
ing with the President in his demand for universal
suffrage, took ground against it. Meantime five or
six hundred officers of the army, recently arrived in
Paris, presented to the President, whose address
to them is of the most explicit demonstrations
he has yet made. He told them in plain terms, that
events might demand their interposiiion, that
he should rely upon them, and that he should take
the lead. Nelu York Times.
