The time Of Gov Kossuth continues to be much
occupied In receiving the numerous calls made upon
him THIS morning dcputatlon from the Literary

and presented him with an address, accompanied
with a copy of the Bill Of Rights, transcribed on
parchment, bearing date Of June II, l776, and also
copy Of the resolutions of the Society making him
an honorary member. Judge NELL made few re-
marks, and Mr. Lee, grandson of Richari Henry

of admiration OF the efforts Of Kossuh in the cause
of freedom and appreciation Of his noble resolution

advocates Of lust cause and equal rights. Ihey
hoped the world would be prepared 10 receive the
principles he proclaimed and that the success OF
Washington would be his
In reply, kossUTH thanked the gentlemen Tor the
attention they had been pleased TO bestOw upon him
There were many remarks IN the address which sug
eested to his mind conSideratotlS which he would

the success ot Washington. That was, indeed, glo
nous success not did abate ANYTHING of It's glory,
that nineteen millions OF European money, twenty
thousand aims thirty men OF war, and three thousand
European troops were contributed 10 the success oil
this country. lie had always believed that freedom
ennobled the heart and ne mad, indeed found 1t so
IN the nted States. The people were full OF noble
sentiments. which could be derived only rom the
glorious source OF freedom. He would hope that
one among the peculiar realities OF these noble
sentiments would be the remembrance OF received

dence would yet give freedom "a his country. SO he

necessary consequences OF that position which, fnot
fulfilled, the position was lost. That was the con

looked 10 the CIIed States as the only really and
true free power earth and being such they hoped
