Our Washington Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Jan IL, 1852.
The Interiec baceea Henry Clay and kossxth-
It's ReSni-IHe Candidate for the Presidency, &c.
Governor kossuth and portion OF his suite, left
here this morning. at half past eight O'Clock, for
Annapolis.
The recent interview between Kossuta and Henry
Clay, is described to me by gentleman who was
an eye witness Of it, as exceedingly interesting
Mr.. Clay addressed Gov. Kossuta, unintsrrupt-
eddy, twenty or thirty minutes The substance of
his remarks were, that he considered the mission to
TINS country to be one Of peace, to illustrate to the
world the capacity Of man for self-goyernment He
was in favor Of adhering to our ancient policy Of
non-interference with European quarrels. II we
were now to depart from that policy, and to declare
against Russia's interference between hungary
and Austria, our pride would be enlisted to enforce
our doctrine, and we might become involved in a
general European war. The consequence would
DO disastrous, not only to ourselves. but to the
cause Of freedom throughout the world. We
could easily whip Russia on own soil; but we
could carry on war with her in her own territory
only at the expense of the most onerous taxation Of
our own citizens.
j ossuth listened with the most profound attention
and respect lie made no attempt to Route any of
Mr. Gays positions: but in reply, expressed his
own views OF the state Of affairs in europe particu
larry in France, Turkey, and Hungary, which he
thought must inevitably soon result in war.
Mr.. Clay was highly pleased with Gov. Kossuth,
and when they parted, he took him warmly by the
hand prayed God to take Of him and Of his
county Gov hossuth said in reply that ne should
continue to pray Go cd daily for Mr.. Clay's speedy
restoration to health.
Mr.. Clay has not been quite as we'll for few
days past. He is constantly receiving boxes, and
bottles, ard packages Of quacN medicines, from all
parts OF the country, recommended for all sorts and
description Ct diseases. He sees many Of the &C
counts published in the newspapers representing
him as almost in an expiring condition
II seems to be pretty we'll settled acre among the
IS
date for President. Cen. Scott is the most promis
ing Of the whig candidates, with Gov. Jones, Of
tennessee. FOR Vice President. +.
