Kossuth In Italy.

kossuth, having arrived on the ed at
Genoa, proceeded on the following day to
Turin. All along the way. on every station,
crowd of Italians assembled to cheer him;
convoy of Hungarian prisoners met him at
one place, and. recognizing the great leader
of their country, shouted their e!jene. At
another place wounded Italian broke
through the crowd; he had belonged. in 1S48,
to Col. Morti's italian Legion in Hungary,
and wished to express his delight at seeing
once more the arms of Italy and Hungary
joined. At Asst the military commander
himself acted as bugleman to the cheering
multitude. At Alessandria Kossuth had to
address the crowd in Italian. After two long
interviews with Count Cavour at Turin, the
Hungarian exile, IN company with confden
tial friend Of the Sandman Minister, set out
Tor Parma, to the headquarters of Prince
Napoleon. Up 10 Stradella, where the rail-
way communication comes to an end, the same
scenes of enthusiasm were witnessed as on
the road TO Turin; but here, of course, the
Italians lost his trace
When be arrived after midnight at Pia-
cenZa, the guard at the gates received him
with blurt, 'Che didvoLd fate corsi tardi." He
could quietly go to hotel without being re-
cognzed. At breakfast, however, the waiter
brought the foreigners book TO get the names
of the guests inscribed, and seeing the name
" kossuth," he rushed out of the room like q
mailman. Not five minutes passed. and all
the thirty thousand inhabitants of PiacenZs
knew it already, and. as if called together 10y
an alarm bell they rushed under his windows
and shouted their vivas with the heartiest
good will. The Mayor and municipality
appeared in his room to offer their cOmpli
ments and their services. Montanell arrived
the respected late Minister of Tuscany, who
lost his arm in 184S, fighting at Curtatone
for the liberty of Italy.
The room is soon overcrowded with visit.
ors. Kossuth must take drive with them
but as he comes down the stairs the crowd
PUSHES to him, and kissing his hands and gar
ments, the horses are embarrassed, the Ital.
lans drag the carriage along, thousands and
thousands follow, flowers are showered from
the windows, and with all the enthusiasm OF
renascent liberty, the population lavishes its
caresses on the stranger whose name is con.
nected with liberty. and therefore is taken
by them for pledge of their own freedom.
At o'clock, p. NJ, Kossuth arrived al
Parma. The town was gaudily adorned in
expectation of the arrival of Prince Napole-
on. Kossuth's companion having been re.
cognized by some Italian standing before
the hotel, he asked, Count Cavour?" Kos
suth said, NO" when suddenly the eye Of
the Italian lighted up, and he began to shout
"Kossutb! viva KOssuth' In a few min
utes all the town was alive with the news
the crowds assembled outside the hotel; the
visitors thronged the parlor, and guard Of
honor was placed before the door. The Gov.
ernor of the Province invited him to his box
in the theater, which Kossuth of course de
clined, since it was Prince Napoleon who had
to receive the ovations Of the people on thai
| day, and Kossuth would not divert the at
tention of the Italians.
In fact if sympathy alone could save Hun
