In France, the military government which now
seems to be firmly fixed upon the nscks of the
French people, and the sensation with its peculiar
t;ss, which has followed these events throughout
Furope and this country, were taken up by the elo
auept Kossuth during his late visit to Philadel-
yhs, and made the basis Of the great speech which
10 delivered On that occasion to the authorities
abere That speech contains his deliberate opinion,
conceived With great eloquence, and delivered with
nSoh force, on those astounding events in France.
From his position and popularity in this country,

Kossuth, from the ins.inctive impulses Of human

zsprotrates, in similar way, the recent events in
France, &C forming most conclusive evidence that
semecrscy in Europe is now nearer being estsb-
6sbed than il ever was before and that the coup
