The dinner given by large number Of the
Members Of the two Houses Of Congress to NJ.
LOUIS KossUTH took place last evening at the
National Hotel-the room being that usually APP
propriated to the Ladies' Ordinary. The mum
Der present, as nearly as we could calculate, was
about two hundred and fifty. The Hon. VIM r.
King, of Alabama President of the Senate pre-
sided On his right sat M. Louis Kossuth, the
guest of the company, and on his left the Hon.
Daniel Webster Secretary of State On the right
of M. Kossuth, at the same table, sat the Hon.
Linn Boyd, Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tiyes Near an elevated table, on each side, we
noticed number of distinguished guests, among
whom were Hon. Thomas Corwin, Secretary of
the Treasury, Hon. Alex II. H. Stuart, Secretary
of the Interior, and Judge Wayne, of the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
The Marine Band from the Navy Yard played
at intervals during the dinner.
The festivities commenced at seven o'clock
A few minutes after eight o'clock, the cloth
having been removed large number of ladies
were admitted.
| The first toast was, " The President ofMe United
States" It was received with three hearty cheers
and loud applause.
Mr. Webster replied, and said that in kindness
and good wishes towards the guest of this occa-
sion, and in attachment to the great principles of
political liberty and national independence, there
is no man who partakes in higher degree than
the President of the United States in the general
feeling of this vast community.
To the second toast
"7He Judiciary Of tie United States The ex-
FOUNDER of the constitution and the bulwark of
liberty, regulated by law"
Judge WAYNE, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, replied briefly, and gave
Constitutional liberty to all the nations of
the earth, supported by Christian faith and the
morality of the Bible"
The next sentiment was
"TAe Mary of the United States; The home
squadron everywhere. The glory which has made
it so is illustrated when its flag in foreign sea
gave liberty and protection to the Hungarian
Chief"
Mr.. Stanton, of Tennessee, in the absence of
the senior officer of the navy, who was expected
to be present, and of the Secretary of the Navy,
who was invited, responded.
The next toast was
"Ihe Army Of the United States: In saluting
the illustrious exile with magnanimous courtesy,
as high as it could pay to any power on earth, it
has added grace to the glory of its history"
Mr.. Shields being loudly called for, responded
in appropriate terms, elicting great applause.
The president then, after an appropriate intro
duction, gave the following:
"HUNGARY, represented in the person of our
honored guest having proved herself worthy to
be free by the virtues and valor of her sons, the
law of nations and the dictates of justice alike
demand that she shall have fair play in her strug
gle for independence"
This toast was received with tremendous cheers
and applause, which lasted several minutes.
M. Kossuth then rose and delivered an eloquent
address, as reported in the papers of this morn
ing.
Messrs. Webster, Douglas, Cass, Gentry, and
Seward, followed in appropriate remarks.

The correspondent of the New York "Cou-
rier" telegraphs the receipt Of the French news
at Washington thus:
"The Department of State has received de-
spatches from Paris to the 9th instant and adj
vices from London to the 9th instant.
According to the most reliable intelligence
there will be no immediate change in the British
Cabinet The present Ministry will go through
the session of Parliament, but possibly dsso-
luton may occur in July, after the budget and
general business are disposed Of Then re-
organization may follow, especially if Lord John
Russell should be oyerthrown by Papal and Rad
ical combinations which now threaten his power.
The absence of Lord Pahnerston from the Minis
try would, unquestionably, lead to an immediate
and satisfactory adjustment of the Nicaragua
matter, as well as all other questions of contro-
versy. In any event our government will now
require prompt arrangement"
Upon this question of arrangement another
correspondent, P. G. Dumas, demands satisfac-
ton for the outrage committed upon the Ameri-
can flag on board the brig Cyrus under his COM
mand, while she was anchored in the bay of Ca
binda, coast of Africa. He says:
81 was lawful trader; searched and robbed
of my papers by force of arms; the flag trampled
by the commander Of the British man of-war
Alert, and on the spot made to abandon the brig
and property on board, taking with me my flag
and log-book, which have defended at the peril
of my life. The first steps made for asking sat
isfaction from the British government were by
the Hon. Henry A. Wise and J. G. Calhoun. The
ex-Secretary of State, Hon. ]. Buchanan, has
kept very silent and cool. This case of mine,
and the firing into the Prometheus, will be good
cause for asking John Bull satisfaction for both
insults; if not the United States flag will have
very large stain upon it. That insulted flag is
now in the State Department at Washington, and
hope that Mr.. Webster will do what is right
If our government takes some interest for Sir
John Franklin, Thrasher, steamer Prometheus,
and many others, | think that my case ought to
be the first to be settled. Charity begins at
home"

Later from Europe.

The royal mail steamer Cambria, with dates
from Liverpool to the 9th of December, and from
London and Paris to the Goth, arrived at her
wharf at Halifax on Monday evening, since which
time the Portland line of telegraph has been out

Many of the deputies heretofore arrested have
been set at liberty.
Much speculation was INDUCED relative to the
new press law to be shortly promulgated. It
was generally supposed that each journal would
have to deposite certain sum with the govern
ment as security for its good behaviour. The
offences of the press are to be-frst, an attack
on the Press; second, melting hatred among
citizens; and, third, an attack upon religion,
family, or property: each offence to be punish
able by fine and Imprisonment.
The London Times" says that it has under

reduce the rates Of interest on government secu-

The sudden retirement Of Lord Palmerston was
received by the whole nation with regret and
establishment, and is still imputed to discussions
known to exist in the Cabinet for several months,
phatic avowal Of opinions to the Kossuth deputa-
ton, which were expressed in language by no
means complimentary to the despots Of Europe.
The fearless position assumed by Palmerston
proved distastefu to the Ministry, and hence the

To the Editor Of the American Telegraph:
1t appears by the public papers that Her Ma
jesty the Queen Of Spain has been pleased to con-
fer on Mr.. Calderon de la Barca, her Minister in
this country, the Grand Cross of the Order of
Charles the Third, on account of his valuable
services here in relation to the Cuban matters.
Now, sir, If Mr.. Calderon was entitled to this
honor, is there not another iadioiduat who ought
to be rewarded by Her Majesty with the higher
honor of the Golden Fleece, since his services in
her cause were rendered with the same zeal, and,
from his position, with much more effect?

NJ. X ossuth and the Anti-S1avery Paper.
The prospectus ola new paper has been issued
in New York, by A. Gyurman and f. Wutsche,
Hungarians, who accompanied M. Kossuth to this
country; and to it is appended Recommendation
from this distinguished gentleman. Opposition
to slavery, advocacy of the land reform doctrine,
&c., are avowed in the prospectus. But in the
Washington papers Of this morning appears q
denial on the part Of Kossuth that his sanction
has been given to the declarations of the project
ors of this paper. The facts are said to be simply
that Mr.. Gyurman applied for advice how best to
occupy his time and serve the cnuse ofhis country
and that Gov Kossuth replied to this effect
"You are distinguished journalist; follow your
profession, and you will thereby obtain opportu.
mites Of serving your country"
In this authorized denial it is said:
GAS Gov Kossuth has no connection, direct or
indirect, with the paper in question, and no con-
troll over Mr.. Gyurman, Gov. Kossuth cannot, on
account Of his advice to that gentleman to serve
his country, be without gross injustice made re
sponsible for Mr.. Gyurman's occupying himself
with question of domestic American policy, in
juriously to the interests of his own country and
in diametric opposition to Gov. Kossuth's decid-
edly expressed opinion as to the duty and policy
Of non-interference in such questions"
