Kossuth's Arrival in Washington.

1t was about II o'clock when the train
reached The Washington depot, where
about thousand persons had assembled,
who, Notwithstanding the weather, and the
most inexhaus,ible supply Of mud, which
lay undisturbed by the contractors, to the
depth Of ten inches, crowded around the
car, and strove, by every exertion, to graft
y their longing and inordinate curiosity by
getting peep at the Governor, who they
cheered. The martial OF the District,
Richard Wallach, ESQ.,, entered the car,
accompanied by several distinguished gen
tleman, who were presented to the Gov
ernor, amongst whom were Hon. William
H. Seward and Hon. James Shields, of the
Senate reception committee, Hon. Lewis
Cass, also Of the committee, was prevent
ed by indisposition from being present.
The company then proceeded, in train
Of carriages, to Browns magnificent hotel,
followed by crowds of persons, who as
sembled in front of the building to the
number Of several thousand, and render
ed it somewhat difficult for the party TO
alght and proceed to their apartments.
However, by dint Of good management
and the forbearance of the crowd, they
entered, and occupied one of the splendid
parlors in the second story. The apart
ment was soon filled with gentleman, who
crowded around the Governor.
Hon. Mr. Seward then informed him that
he had been requested to say the Secretary
of State had heard of his arrival, and would
be pleased 10 call upon him at l2 O'Clock
10 which the Governor readily assented
and observed it would give him pleasure
10 receive him. He was then told that the
crowd in front desired 10 see him, when
he stepped upon the portico, and bowing
TO them, returned thanks in few words
and retired
Shortly after they withdrew, Hon. Dan
iel Webster entered the hotel, and. being
introduced, had long conversation with
the Governor, during which he acquainted
him Of the arrangement for visiting the
President. He was also visited by Major
General Scott and aids; Adjutant General
Jones, of the U. S. Army; the Mayor O
Washington, and other distinguished citi
zens; delegation Of the Jackson Associa'
ton, Of this city-Mr. J. d. Hoover, pres
ident-delivered an address, TO which
Kossuth replied in eloquent and appropri
ate words. Senator Gwinn, of California
also held an interview with him.
The appearance of Browns elegan
building was quite enlivening. Hungarian
Turkish, Swiss and Italian flags were dis
played from the building. whilst above was
placed the Star Spangled Banner.

From the Washington Union.
The Interview between the Presi-
dent and KOSSuth.

Our readers will find below the report
which has been sent US of what passed
between the President and the great Hun
garian Hero at their interview yesterday
We can hardly be mistaken in saying that
the President has fallen short of the opin-
ion which is entertained by the people of
this country of what is due to the repre-
sentative of the principle involved in the
Hungarian struggle. 1t is not enough TO
say that he is welcome to our land, and
that he is worthy of our sympathy as in
dividuals for his efforts in the cause Of
freedom. 1t was due TO the occasion that
he should be assured OF our disapproba.
ton as government, as well as people,
OF the principle on which Russia acted in
marching her armies to settle question
which was one exclusively between Aus.
,ra and the component parts OF her king
dom.
If Russia were 10 send force here TO
settle controversy between the general
government and one of the States which
compose our Union, she would do exactly
what she did in the Hungarian question.
Against such violation of every princi-
pie of Justice there can be no prudential
motive for Withholding the language Of
solemn disapprobation. Such language
would not bind US to any act of nterven-
ton. and could not give the absolutists Of
Europe any right to complain. 1t is but
the annuncation Of the fact that the NOR
al power Of our free country will never
sanction system Of oppression, and will
never cease to advocate the sacred princi.
Piles of liberty.
Contrasted with the eloquent and soul
stirring address of Kossuth, the observa-
tons of the President cannot fail TO strike
the country with surprise and regret, as moi
sufficient response TO the noble feelings
which were called forth by the occasion
On being presented, Kossuth said:
"MR. PRESIDENT: Enlightened by the
spirit of your country's institutions, when
we succeeded to consolidate our natural
and historical States right Of selfgovern.
