Movements OF Kossuth.
Kossuth was expected to reach Southampton in
the Mississippi about the 7th the sth OF this
month The public mind was becoming excited
on the subject, and preparations in progress
for giving him popular and enthusiastic recep-
ton. The Common Council of London on the I'd
instant, passed by reclamation resolve to present
TO kossuth an address OF congratulaton on his lbe
ration from captivity and his arrival in England
This address is TO be delivered in open court.
The following communication, dictated by Kos
suth TO the Mayor of Southampton, was received
by that functionary
MARsEILLEs, Sept. 81, 1851.
+" Sir His excellency Governor kossuth, (my
chief,) with thankful sentiments acknowledging
the lively interest and highminded sympathy
which the generous city Of Southampton, and YOU
sir, particularly, were on SO many occasions hon
oring the Hungarian cause the fate Of its exiled
leader and of all Hungarian exes who CHANGED
to land on your hospitabe shore, has entrusted me
with the agreeable duty TO present you, Sir, hls
hearty compliments, and respectfully to inform
you that, embarked, with the generous consent Of
his majesty the Sultan, without any previous Goa
dition whatever, but rather with llimited liberty,
on board the United States steam frgate Missis-
sippi, sent over by the Congress and Government
OF the United States precisely for his and his nsso
GATES liberation from Kutayah, stopped at Mar
settles, with the purpose to pass through France
directly to England, and to land from Hayre at
Southampton, having the warm desire to thank
personally for the protection which the public opin-
ion of the highminded people Of England pleased
| CARVED here yesterday, his excellency imme-
diately applied TO M lie Prcfct, of this department
to grant him and family free passage through
France. M lie Prefct judged convenient TO report
TO Paris, by telegraph 10 the ministry, but the
ton of the telegraph bong hindered by the misty
weather, answer has not yet arrived.
$50 not being able to give you exact information
about the issue or in case of granted passage about
the time of his exccency's arrival at Southamp-
ton, still feel gratiiied to be the organ Of commu-
nicaton of his said design, and Of his firm inten-
ton TO go, in every case, for some few days, to
| England; which, should he be not permitted to
ecute directly from Marseiles, he has decided 10
proceed Immediately TO Gibraltar, and thence to
visit Eng land and ask for asylum to his children
there while he proceeds to the United States, to
thank personally for the most generous aid and
| sstance which the people, Congress- and Govern
ment Of the United States honored him with.
Ellis excellency left Kutayah with the confident
hope that the sacred cause which 1t Is his glory to
represent cannot fail to have future yet, being
honored it is by the powerful sympathy Of the
| English race-that mighty, great, and glorious
guardian Of justice, right, and freedom on both
hemispheres.
81 have the honor to sign myself to be, with the
| most distinguished consideration, sir, your humble
and obsequious servant
| 81. HA'sKE, Lieut.. Colonel
| A Southampton correspondent of the Daily Netcs
says
s'There is every reason to believe that the French
government refused to let Kossulh pass through
| France, either from fear of the excitement which
his presence would cause in Paris, or from defer
ence 10 Austria and Russia. From the tenor of the
letter dictated by him at Marseilles to the Mayor
| of Southampton, il would appear that il was his
intention to go to Gibraltar, and there take pms
| sage to England in English steamer. If such
should be the case, the likely steamer will be
! the Jupiter, which left Malta on the Doth. The Ju
piter is expected at Southampton about the 7th
Sth of this month. The opinion at the American
| consulate at Southampton, however, is that the
Mississippi will bring Kossuth TO Southampton,
and that she will probably arrive here in day or
| two"
We find the following in the Nouueiliste of Mar
| settles of the 10Th utimo " The Hungarian refu
gees on board the Mississippi, iatigued by their
| voyage, have obtained permission to land and
walk in the town. Yesterday, at the moment
| when Kossuth was about to re-embark, crowd of
persons assembled on the Canabiere to see him
| pass, and cries of Vive Kossuth y Vivent les
| Hongroisn and Vive la Republiquen were
| raised In the evening the other Hungarians who
| had not followed Kossuth on board the American
vessel went to the Cafe Boudou, and soon after an
assemblage of some hundreds Of persons collected
in the Rue st. Ferreol, and in instant the cafe
was filled. The foreigners saluted with a
| loud clapping of hands. The police arrived,
and put end to this ovation by clearing the
cafe, and the Hungarians passed out by another
door"
| The scene on board the United States frigntc
Mississippi, when the illusrious Kossuth with his
fellow cXiles came board, is represented to have
| been impressive in the extreme. The officers OF
| the ship, together with the tender-heartcd JACK
lars, Immediately formed circle around the dis
| tinguished strangers, not TO cape and stare at
| them, but to show by their looks and their pre-
sence, and emotion, how heartfelt and was
| their welcome to the protection of the American
| Republic. A letter from ConsanGnople Gays:
! "With tears streaming down his eyes, and into
nations Of voice expressing the deepest feeling, he
| uttered few sentiments, announcing his joy at
finding himself under the protection OF the glorious
stripes and of the freest nation in The world.
| Capt Long, who had already addressed Gov. X.
once on board the Turkish frigate, began again to
1 speak in answer, but his bosom swelled too much
with emotion. Tears stood in his eva, and in the
eyes of all the officers and men and his speech
limited to saying, Sir, you are welcomed Sir, you
are three cheers for Gov. Kossuth.' When
| this order had been heartily responded to. still
Capt Long, in his joy and sympathy, could add
nothing better than Three cheers more for Gov.
Kossuth' "
