method Of conducting tin continuation Of the speeches

and Hungarans and other foreigners and by large null
ttude of workingmen but the number of influential in
habitants present was very inconsiderable.
NJ. Kossuth, having been introduced, commenced by

wavering in attachment and faithful TO my duties to
my native land. Loud cheers. II is TO this | owe
the kindness and sympathy with which the people
of Nottingham bonored my first arrival in
England, and the present occasion. II IA this APP
probation of faithful patriotism which has been and
Is the Of that generous attention and operative
with which the people of Nottingham have always
assisted and continue 10 assist the Polish and Hungarian
cxesa fact to which desire TO bear testimony here in the

Laughter and cheers They over-easy for exile

right allow 10 DC true TO this determination the
present occasion Gentlemen in tho war in which sou
engaged your country has double aim The FIRST is
TO Turkey from being absorbed by foreign powers
because that would be very dangerous 20 the world and
very dangerous 10 your country; and, In connexop
with hs the second aim is 10 reduce the dangerous power
o. Russia. Now, gentlemen, In my humble opinion, this
OBJECT cannot be attained by the policy upon which your
government appears TO be bent by the which
y employs The means insufficient and the policy, in
my OPINION dangerous subversive Of the very aim Of the
war ana causing you to pay numerous millions for q result
Whch Is contrary to your advantage and to your wishes
~ 70 te means you of course understand that neither
England nor France send hundreds of thousands Of
men so Tar OIL by SET and yet hundreds of thousands
Of men are required to gain the object for which YOU went

you have u aud well may you glory in IL. Il il the
mghest fleet the world has seen and the bra ovs
on board o. IT viii bayey your immortal Nelson's
address England expects every man 20 do his duty
Cheers But then, unfortunately your fleet canno, sjm
on the sand plains Of Russia and yet II is on these Sand
plains that decisive battles have to be fought Not
battle but many. Hear, hear.l These wars canno, he
disposed OF 10y little boxing, however bravo You NOR
haps may feel somewhat mortified not to hear Of some
naval exploits from your brave tars but that win moi AZ
gentlemen They would fght II they could come 10 II
The Guar Just pudenty keeps his ships hidden in snnq bar
