in which have the high honor 10 receive this most

Aldermen, and Common Council, in common coun-
Gil lawfully assebled are pleased, in such solemn
manner and with such generous words, to assure

Hungary for freedom aud Independence, TO which
have given the best of my humble efforts; that you
have watched that struggle with great interest;

which is the object Of all my struggles, and con-
graduate me on my liberation out OF captivity.
[Cheers.l
AS to the practical result to which aggrieved hu.
manity and especially my poor country, said
Kossuth still looks forward with manly resolution,
with unshaken courage and hope-I repeat what
have elsewhere already said, when SAID ieI nor
your sympathies remain barren; help to carry my
nations cause to happy issue. You have the
power. Help! When spoke so intended MOTTO
ask England TO take up arms for our liberties NO,

loud cheers.l Sooner indeed, this feeble frame
may succ umb-sooner it may succumb to the long
ing of this heart to sec my fatheIland independent
and free; which longing beats everlastingly In my
bosom, as the captive lion beats against his iron
cage; but, even then, the grass which grows over
my grave will cry out to England and America,
ado not forget, in your proud security, those ma
lions who are oppressed-do not grant charter to
the Gar to dispose of humanity-do not grant a
charter to despots to drown liberty in Europe's
blood-save the millions who otherwise must, the
millions who will bleed; and, by not granting that
charter be the liberators of the world.
The speaker, as at Southampton, went on to
comment upon the entertainments OF Russia, upon
the despotsm of Austria, and upon the power OF
England and Londo on. We quote, however, one
idea put forth to create doubt in English minds
as 10 the security Of their loans to despotc govern
ments:
''In managing their costly armies, and their no
less costly diplomatic interests, the means OF their
people are exhausted, and they must come again
and again to the money market to obtain loans,
and every loan diminishes the resources from
which it must be paid. Who can guarantee
that the nations of the earth, seeing their means
swamped by these eternal loans, which are used
| against their own liberties, will not rise under
| their moral and material suffering and say,
| Let those who made these loans pay them; we
did not make themH loud cheers.l Such Is
the effect of absolutism on the money market.
Hear hear But there lie another prospect, also,
with respect to the house of Hapsburg and that is
| it's inevitable bankruptcy. You know very well
| that that government has been obliged to make q
loan of eight millions recently. Was that to re-
store the balance of it's fnancess Oh, no; but to
| get on for few months longer, and then ask for
| another, their means OF paying the interest be-
coming worse with every loan May not say,
without any enthusiasm, that there ID very early
prospect that the restored nations OF Europe Will not
recognise these loans, or prevent the bankruptcy!

Kossuth has addressed letter to Lord Dudley
Stuart, declining any pecuniary testimonial &c
himself but expressing his readiness to receive all
contributions proffered to the cause OF Hungary.
