The interview between Gov. KossUrH and
Mr.. CLAY, on Friday, was profoundly inter
esting. KossUrH was accompanied by Mr..
Cas- and Gov JOINS, Of Tennessee. There were
but two others present at the interview. hos
suTH was excited and agitated al the prospect o.
his introduction to the great parliamentary leader
Of the United States-rHE PRINcR, as has
Western admirers call him. Nj. CLAY vas
seated in an am-chair, and on hossrrH
entrance rose up erect TO his full hight, ana cor

ceremony OF introduction was over, anu is"
minutes were passed in alluson 10 INC incidents
OF his visit to this country, Mr. CLAW began to
address hlm on the great subjects OF his mission
Mr.. CLAY began by saying with great solemn
isy that he addressed him as A DYING MAN ana
that, as it was an important occasion, he should
speak to him freely and with the utmost frank
mess. For himself, he had worshiped all his
life at the shrine Of Liberty, and had ever been
one of the most devoted vOtafics OF Freedom
and he trusted that KossrTu was as sincere
lover OF Liberty as himself At these remarks
KossurH displayed much feeling, and listened
with great esgcmcss Mr.. CLAY then proceed
cd to say that he stood firmly upon the long-es-
tabhshod doctrine OF nOnlncren.lon by tins
country, in the affairs OF Europe He believed
that this policy was the best for us, the best tor
Europe, and the best for the cause Of Liberty
and he went on for thirty minutes to enlarge
upon these views, which he did with HIS usual
vieor and elevation OF thought and felicity Of
diction. At the expiration OF thIa time ne re-
marked that he would be glad to say more, but
tina, he was unable, having quite exhausted his
powers OF speech.
KossUru replied with his accustomed ability
declining to touch the question OF what should
be the policy OF this Government, which ho sand
rested entirely with the Statesmen of the Coun
Try. He reviewed the state OF Europe, and eX
pounded his general sentiments for about twenty
minutes. The whole interview up 10 This point
had been exceedingly interesting, and marked
by the most refreshing and apprecatve mutual
sympathy. Dom pditltH N'lc NNNPAl "'''"'''f

noblest character
When KossurH rose TO depart, Nh. CLAY also
raised hinsef from his chair, and taking one ei
KossurH's hands in has, he placed the other up
on the shoulder OF the exile ana with deep feel
ing, invoked the blessing Of Heaven upon him
The bosom of Kossvru sweled with emotion
aud The tears rolled down The veteran checks Of
the great Kentuckan, as he added, that on every
day his life should Doe spared, his ieUent prayers
should ascend to Almighty God FOR the protection
OF he noble exile, and for ms restoration 70 his
native country. Nve HENey CLAY
