    •^ KOSSUTH . ~~ -gj WORKING CLASS DEMONSTRATIOS . / v , jlonday the working classes of the raetropo-, had the opportunity of expressing their sym-^ S with * principles for which the chosen ry of the Magyar nation has contended . As we t ^~ stated Kussell-square was selected a . s the moBt I xenient localt in which the members of the va-*? " ciafw should meet , and shortly before the ** L ^ pointed ( eleven o'cloek ) each of the streets MdiB * *> baet ? * ® scene of a lengthened proton , wending its way to the trysting place , and « kng «> density of the mass of human beings % &cy assembled there . By half-past eleven some « . » 0 of 15 , 000 persona had congregated together jpthe space between the railings of the square and "L j ouses , arranged in order according to their ' TTOSSTTT 1 T . ¦ - I

    rtdes— bootma&erB , . tailors , plasterers , carpenters , * _ eaeh distinguished by appropriate banners , frd all hearing mottoes expressive of welcome to ftsju th , and hatred of the tyranny which has pjde hi" > our temporary guest . The members of £ 5 C entral Demonstration Committee , under jriiose direction-the arrangements had been made , jjiived in the square about this time , and , proceed-¦ £ , to the east side , formed in order of procession , p i taking the lead , accompanied by a band of jflsie , were followed by the immense multitude gambl ed , marshalled five abrea-t , in this order p &ing their way round the north and to the west tit of the quadrangle , leaving it slowly ( and not fi tboac some difficulty , in consequence oi the imrtdiaient "viincn thousands of spectators , brought

    leaner the major part of them by a rumour that Joisuth would meet and join with the wrfegc at its c &el , occasioned ) by way of Keppel-street . The figs and banners displayed throughout the whole jjagth of the procession were numerous , pictujgque in appearance , and most of tb eiu evidencing g&A taste as well as warm feelings . First came \» lluugarian colours , with the motto ""Welcome juasutli . " Then followed a large banner , also with ^ e red , white , and green ground , carried by four 0 five men , bearing on it tie inscription "There gno obstacle for him that wills . " This was folio wed Jj tlie Turkish flag , after which came in succession jje Uuioa Jaek of England , and the stripes and stars £ , f tiie United States , and , follottiug later in the wocessiou , a large silk , banner , having on- it the Kossuth and MazziniItal

    iords " — y and Hunr , rr , " and another , a blood-red flag , with an inscription in Italian , "The Democratic Republic of jialj and fraternity of the people . " A sort of galym was also carried in the procession , from Which « s snspended a number of eopie > of the " Times " B vtsp : « pfcr , and a placard inscribed " The Tim e * ' ssd Uajnau—burn them both . " The Tower namxts contingent , which came up as the general iody was leaving the square , and fell into the rear , fxliibiieil several beautiful flags , and added materisilj by its numbers to the length of the procession . IVcm ' tlie lime the leading rank commenced its Bjrcb , until the rear turned into Keppel street , iflrlj ihree quarters of an hour Lad elapsed , so -jmkious was the body of which the assemblage

    sis composed . Passing along Keppel-street and S tore-street the procession turned into Tottenhamtonrt-road , and wended its way along the Hampsead-road , High-street , Camden Town the Camieu-road . and so on to Copenhagen-house , the place sjipoinu-d for the meeting with . Kossuth . The iriote line of these great thoroughfares was crowded with people . The shops were all closed , tie windows were filled with spectators ( mostly lidies , numy of them weariug tUe Hungarian colours ] , and from several of the houses flags with ijpropriate devices were exhibited . Copenhagen * ftids presented an appearance of animated exciteasut , which , since the memorable gathering of tbe Trades" Unions some fifteen years ago , has not kta witnessed in that locality . ^ Notwithstanding ik extreme coldness of tbe day , the large area in iroat of the tavern was crowded with anxious symiiiiiisers . The railway and other engineering and

    tawing worts , now or recently carried on in the neiflii'Ourhood , have left a number of mounds of eaitb , which were seized upon by as many as could M Standing roam upon them , as convenient p latkins , from wbicb a sight of the person , if not a air d of the voice , of the great Magyar chief might a obtained . Prom a front window oi the tavern a 5 uri of balcony had been thrown out , where , under if protection of the British , flag , Kossuth was to xeeive the address of the working classes , and from * ach he was to speak his acknowledgments . In zt immediate vicinity of the balcony , and for serial tundred yarda round it , the density of the coird was so great , long before the hour appointed Sr tLe business of the day , that we wondered how lie thousands who officially represented the de-Sifcttation would find room . In addition to the % which floated over the balcony , there was in tse front of it the following inscription : "Jiy shed effort much is accomplished . "

    At about half-past one o ' clock M . Kossuth arrred , accompanied by several Hungarian friends , asangst whom we recognised MM . Vukovicz , late nitister of Justice , Gorove , late secretary of pariansut- , General Tetter , General Czecr , Colonel Jziatos , Colonel Ihasz , A . D . C . to Ko . ssuth ; Major Count Vay , Colonel Count Bethk-m , Colonel Count Teleki , Colonel Count Kiss , and on 9 or two fibers . M . Kossuth . and party , immediately on ilaar arrival at Copenhagen-house , retired to a worn were refreshments were laid out , and there waited the arrival of the central committee with " ^ address .

    it Ijalf-past two the distant sound of music and the fleam of numerous banners announced the approach GtLecavak-ade , and in a few minutes after itap » poached the balcony , when the committee alighted *> i repaired to 31 . Eossuth ' s apartment . After a 2 ff minutes spent in introductions the party proce eded to the balcony , where a sight awaited the ^ nstrious exile which must have assured him of ij » active sympathy felt by the working classes oi inland , for himself and his cause . The balcony * as set apart lor the use of the representatives of lie dail y journals . The only persons in addition iotbem being one or two of 51 . Kossuth ' s personal ^ Jsnds , Mr . Thornton Hunt , Chairman ; Sir . i yitie , Secretary of the Contral Coaitnittee ; and

    Sr . Fleming , JEditor of the " Sorthern Star . " The * i'Jeof the space in front of the balcony was densely laded with human heads , of which ihe upturned wes when M . Kossuth made his appearance had a ^ 1 si uoular ttfeeL Here and there the banners ^ tie different metropolitan associations flaunted pi'j above the crowd , and another series of objects , 'inch attracted much curiosity and amusement , "here numerous copies of the "Times" elevated on K" = s , to which the crowd applied a light and conamid amid Tollies of groans and hisses . It is al-£ 9 st Superfluous to say that 21 . Kossuth -eras retaved irith the mogt deafening and enthusiastic tiering . He Lowed gracefully in acknowledgment , ^ d at last having obtained silence by an expressive Jfcinre . turned round to the committee and

    you for your generous sentiments of active and operative sympathy with the freedom and independence Of my natWe land , SO Closely connectedaa you huve Tightly judged-with the reedom and independence of other nations on the European continent . It is to me highly gratifying to know that a large party of the present meeting belongs to the working classes . It is gratifying to me , because , if to belong to the working classes implies a man whose livelihood depends on his own honest and industrious labour , then none amongst you has more right to call himself a working man than I bo to call myself . I inherited nothing from niy dear father , and I have lived my whole life by my own honest and industrious labour . This , my condition , I consider to have been myfir 8 t claim to VOU for VOUr penprnna unfim > : nl > « i .- »_' . _ 'j

    my people ' s confidence , because well they knew tLat being in that condition I must intimately know the wants , the sufferings , and tbe necessities of the people . ( Loud cheers . ) And so assuredly it was . ltjs , therefore , chat I so practically devoted my life to procure and to secure political and social freedom to my people ; not to a race , not to a class , but to the whole people . Besides , I duvoted a \ lmyiife foi > many years by tbe practical means of associations to extend the benefit of public instrnction to the working classes , and to forward the material welfare of the agriculturists , of the manufacturers , and of the trading men . ( Hear , hear . ) Amongst all the enterprises to that effect , at that time of my life , when I was yet in no public office , but a private man , there is none to which I

    look back with more satisfaction and pride than to the association for the encouragement of manufacturing industry—to its free schools , to its exhibitions , to its press , and to its affiliations ; Besides conferring immense material benefits , ifc proved also politically beneficial , by bringing in closer contact , and more friendly relations the different classes of my dear native land , by interesting the working classes in the public political concerns oi our nation , and by so developing a strongly united public opinion to support me in my chief aim , which was conserving the municipal and constitutional institutions of my country—to substitute for tho privileges of single classes and political emancipation of the whole people , and substituting freedom to class , privileges—to impart to the people the

    faculty of making the constitution . . a common benefit to all , for all—in a word , to transform the closed ha 51 of class privileges into an open temple of the people ' s liberty , ( Cheers . ) This being my earl y connexion with the working classes , I had at Southampton already occasion to say , that amongst all the generous testimonials of English sympathy which honour me , and my nation ' s past struggles , which eonsole our present sufferings and assure our future , there is none dearer to my heart than when I see that those classes whose only capital is their honest labour and their time , stop in their work and sacrifice that valuablo time for the purpose , openly and resolutely , of expressing that the great principles of freedom can reckon upon the sympathies , the co-operationand the

    , support of the people of England . In the streets of London , a few days ago , and here oh the present occasion , this great phenomenon presents itself on a still larger scale , in a still higher degree ; it is therefore the more gratifying to me , and COn 9 Oling to my country , the more have I the pleasurable duty to acknowledge' the high value of it , and to thank you the more fervently for it . ( Cheers . ) I said at Southampton that in these demonstrations of the operative classes I recognise that natural instinct of the people , before which every individual greatness must bow down with respect . The s ;« ae acknowledgment 1 have to make on tbis occasion , only on a larger scale , and in a higher degree . Allow me , firstly , to congratulate you on the attention which vou have hereby proved that

    you devote to public matters , to the glory as well US to the interests , of your country , and to tbe freedom and interests of humanity May this public spirit never decrease , may every Englishman for ever feel that it is the basis of all constitutional organisation , be it under a republican or a monarchal form , that it is the public opinion of the people which must give direction to the policy of the country , and that it is therefore not only the right , but also the duty of ever honest citizen to contribute to the development and expression of that public opinion , of which the legislative , as well as the executive authorities arc , and must be , faithful representatives . ( Cheers . ) Allow me , secondly , to congratulate you on the jusfc and happy instinct with which , bestowing your

    attention on public concerns , you have seized the very pOUit Which really is ths WOSt important amongst all in which the mind and the heart of Englishmen can be interested . That point is the freedom of the European Continent . I said it in the Common Council of the City of London , I repeat it here ; there is none amongst your internal questions which outweighs in importance the external . And how may be summed up the external interest of the British empire on tbe European Continent ? ( Hear , hear . ) It is to be summed up in this question : by which principle shall the Comment . of Europe be ruled , by the principle of freedom or by the principle of absolutism ? Can England , or can itnot , remain indifferent to tbe approaching struggle and final decision of this question ? And it it cannot

    remain indifferent , without losing its position in the world , endangering its own freedom- and hurting its own interests , with which principle shall England side 1 "With the principle of freedom or with * he principle of aggression ? Shall it support the rights , freedom , and happiness of nations , or the Oppressive combinations of arbitrary governments 1 That is the question ; a question the more urgent and tbe more important , that no man of whatsoever party can dissimulate , still Jess deny , that the situation of France , of Italy , of Germany , of Austria , of Hungary , of Poland , and of Russia is so unnatural , so contrary to the human and national interests of the respective people , that it is utterly impossible it can endure . ( Hear , hear . ) Io 3 ; no man can dissimulate the conviction that

    France , Italy , Germany , Austria , and Hungary are already on the eve of those days , when the great , and , 1 hope , final battle of these adverse principles will be fouglit out . ( Hear , hear . ) Now . the people of Great BritaiD , by its loudly proclaimed sympathy with the cause of the freedom and independence of Hungary , has pronounced itself willing not to remaiu indifferent , and to side not with absolutism but with liberty , by supporting and protecting against all interference of foreign governments thu sovereign right of every nation to dispose of itself . ( Loud cheers . ) You yourself have pronounced by this demonstration , and by your generous addrese , in favonr of this principle ; so thanking you most fervently for it , I , beg leave to congratulate you on' the sound judgment and

    on the comprehensive views you give , and that you entertain , on the duties of England towards Europe , and on the proper interests of England itself . Ton have rightfully considered that the freedom of England , and that happy condition which you feel assured that your institutions , your freedom , and your public spirit , will go on peacefully developing—morally , materially , and politically—that all this is intimately connected with the victory of the principle of freedom on the European Continent . ( Cheers . ) In a word , you have pronounced for that ttuth I , since in England , on no occaaion have omitted to express , viz , that there is a community in the principle of freedom as there is an identity in the destinies' of humanity . Besides , you have duly considered that the material

    welfare of Great Britain is also in the highest degree dependent on and connected with the victory of the principle of Freedom in Europe . And truly itisso . On Several occasions I have discussed already this important topic , and will do so more amply yet on another occasion . Here I beg only leave to state briefly a few plain facts . You live by honest laboui ' . You have your manufactured products to dispose of , for which you want large free markets and free trade . ( Hear , hear . ) » ow , it is as obvious as that two and two make four , that without Europe becoming free , England can have no free trade with Europe . 1 will show you by facts that the amount of trade with absolutist Russia and Austria is fd . per head , whereas the amount of the trade of JJogland with a free country

    —with tbe republic of the United States of America , is 7 s . per head . What a difference . ' Absolutism gives to yonr trade and industry a market of 7 d . per head , freedom gives a market of 7 s . per head . ( Loud cheers . ) Is not the freedom of Europe , then , a question of vital interest to you ? Let us look to consequences . Suppose the price of the bread which one of you consumes be three or four pounds ; uponthis price you have , by the repeal of the corn laws , probably not gained more ttmn from fifteen shillings to a pound . Certainly a great benefit . But suppose the 120 millions who inhabit Russia , Austria , Italy , and Hungary , to become free , and , being free , to consume as much of your manufactures as the United States ( though in part highly manufacturing themselves ) consume per head that would give a market of at least £ 60 , 000 , 000 sterling to England , whieh would prove a benefit of two or three pounds a year per head to you . ( Hear . ) I will not with my acting

    chest dwell further upon this subject now , but will cheerfully ackowledge that you were animated in this noble demonstration by higher motives—by such generous sentiments as betoken the noblest feelings , and by that moral dignity of roan which 13 the revelation of mankind ' s divine origin . You say in your kind address , that it is the brotherhood of the people in which rests the hope of civilisation , of our progress in the peaceful arts , and of the free development of man ' s noblest faculties . fHear hear . ) Xow , these are noble sentiments , told in noble words . I thank you that you hafe expressed so nobly what I feel so warmly . It is my heartfelt creed . You say that in the brotherhood of people is the certainty of success in resisting the encroachments of despotic power / Hear , Lear . ) Truly it is so ; take tne interference of Russia in Hungary , of the French government in Rome , of Austria in Romagnaand Schleswi » Holstein , and of Austria and Russia in Hesse

    Untitled Article

    Cassel , which made only the most-loyal , thV most moderate , tl » most lawful opposition to the absolutist encroachments of ita petty tyrant , and yet was crusheddby Austro-Rus 9 ian arms—take all this together , an the fact is clearfcbat the despotisms are leagured against the freedom of the world , so that there is no hope against them but in the brotherhood of people headed and protected by England and the United States of America , uniting in the principle of acknowledgment of the natural rights of every nation to dispose- of itself , and uniting in the principle not to admit any interference of whatever foreign power' in the domestic concerns of any nation against its own will . ( Hear ) By taking such a view . of the brotherhood of people , you are the interpreters of my most n '_ - .. * . - .. _ -. _ •• . ;

    warm desires ' : and by assuring me to hope and to be resolved for the future that Russian interventien in the domestic concerns of any country ^ shall ) by England , not be permitted more—( cheers)—by this you have anticipated all that I , in my bumble quality of a representative of the . principles of freedom in the name of my country , and in the interests of all oppressed n&tiohs , have again and again entreated from the people of England since I have been here . And here 1 meet again another noblo idea of your address , where you say that the name of my country is linked in your prayers and in your hopes with the name of other nations . Bless you for that word . You ennoble my name and my country ' s by it . ( Cheers . ) Yet you speak the truth . The very moment that Russia firat

    interfered in Hungary our struggles grew toEsropean height ; we struggled no ' more for our own freedom , for our own independence , but altogether for the freedom and independence of the European continent . Oar causei . became the cause of mankind . My nation became the martyr of the cause of European freedom in the past ; of other nations it will be the faithful champion of that freedom for the future , I , for my OWn liunifale part , whom my people and the public opinion of the world took for the personification of my people ' s sentiments , I "know where my place is . I know what duties are entailed upon me , I shall ensure the sympathies of England by my devotvon to my country ' s European cause . ( Hear . ) England will find me faithful to that place and to those duties

    which my' people ' s confidence having assigned to me , foreign violence could hinder me from exercising , but whose legitimate character no violence could destroy . Let me also hope , that whilst Hungary and I are aware of the solidarity of oviv cause with the causes of European freedom and independence ; and whilst Hungary is resolved to stand manfully in its place , the other nations , and England itself , will not forget' that the freedom and independence of Hungary are indispensable to the independence of Europe against Russian encroachment Mid preponderance , and so neither ihe other European nations nor England will allow Russia again to interfere in , or to uphold that detested bouse of Hapsburg , with which , eternally alienated , Hungary will never , through time , have any transactions , unless to ban it , expel it , or to hurl it in the dust . ( Loud cheers . ) Amongst the nations linked to rny country in your hopes and prayers .

    your ' address especially names France , Poland , Germany , and Italy . ' To be' sure there are some of those events which may be scented already in the air . As to France , my sentiments are known ; I have declared them openly . I will be true to those sentiments ; and can only add , that it is a highly important step in mankind's destiny to see brotherly love between nations so substituted for the unhappy rivalries of old , aa to elicit iu England , / also such brotherly welcome to the French as was seen at the late Great Exhibition , and to elicit such sentiments in England . And so certainly it should ever be . The French nation is great enough for the pulsation of its heart to be , and to have been always , felt over the greatest part of the European continent . Till now it is true that the expectations have never been realised which Europe ' s oppressed nations bad in France—( hear , hear )—but it must be remembered that the French nation hns fallen short in the

    realisation of its own domestic hopes also . ( Hear , hear . ) It would , therefore , be unjust to make a reproach of that which was a misfortune , which they themselves deplore most ; deeply . I attribute their mischance to the unfortunate propensity to centralisation which the French nation during all its trials conserved—centralisation which leads ever to the oppression of liberty—centralisation with which the guarantees of liberty rest rather upon personalities than upon principles ; and when : tn omnipotence of power is . centred , be it in ono man or in one assembly , tnat man must be a Washington , or that assembly be composed of Washingtons , not to become ambitious , and , through ambition , dangerous to liberty . ( Hear , hear , ) JJow , Washingtons are not so tbickly sown as to be gathered up

    everywhere for the reaping . ( Cheers . ) I would , however , solemnly protest , should any nation attempt to meddle in the domestic concerns of my fatherland ; so , of course , I cannot have the arrogant pretension of mixing with the domestic concerns of any other nation , and least of all , of the great French nation , which is powerful enough to come at last triumphantly out of its trials and snfferings . I have only tbe warm wish and hope that the glorious French nation will soon succeed in making that which is now but a name—the Republic—a reality , and will succeed soon in achieving that work eb ns to see upon the basia of common liberty established the contentment of the people , and , secured by that contentment , a lasting social order ; which cannot fail to be secured when it is founded

    upon liberty , but which , without liberty , is impossible ; and , secondly , I hope that tbe great French nation , in case it realises the name which it bears , will nob forget that it is for her , fur England , and for the United States to check the encroaching spirit of absolutism wherever it should dare to threaten the independence of nations , and their right to dispose of themselves . ( Hear , hear . ) That is what oppressed humanity expects from the French Republic as well as from England and the United States . As for Poland—that sad martjr to the most sacrilegious of ambitions , it ia enough to say that Poland and Hungary are neighbours , and have a common enemy . Though it is utterly false to call our past struggles a Polish conspiracy , still I can own loudly in tbe name of my country : that

    there is no people on the earth which could feel more interested in the future of Poland than the Magyars . We feel also gratified to see ourselves united in your prayers , and hope with Germany . \ Ye ate kmdved in sufferings , united in hope .- - , united in your sympathies . Germany and Hungary must feel united in name and in design . Now , as to Italy—Italy , in so many respects dear to my heart ; I will not dwell upon its terrible woesthey are known and appreciated through the world , and elicited , even in those quarters where it was least expected , the strongest indignation of generous men , proving that questions of humanity can , in England , be no party questions . I will not dwell

    upon the horrors of Naples , out of which even your government publicly foretold that a revolution must arise . I will not dwell upon the scaffold which Radetzlty reared 3 , 742 times in three short years in Lombardy . I will not dwell upon the just hatred of Venice , nor upon the intolerable humiliation and nameless sufferings of Rome . I will only say ihntik is nob even possible to imagine a stronger identity of interests between two nations thaw that existing between Hungary and Italy . ( Hear , hoar . ) The freedom and independence of these two nations hare the same enemies . They are Jike two wings of a single army ranged against one enemy—the victory of one wing is a victory to tho other , tho defeat of one a misfortune to the other . One

    cannot become independent and free without the other also becoming so , else there would be no security to their freedom and independence . ( Hear . ) So it is not possible to imagine a stronger link of brotherhood than that which between two nations needs mu 6 t exist . I confidently believe that this imperious necessity must be equally felt on both sides ; and that both nations must be penetrated by tho conviction of it as strongly as myself—the more because there is a happy incident which mustfurther strengthen the harmony , hopes , feelings , and wishes , between Hungary and Italy . I will tell it to you . There are new doctrines agitated in certain countries , which , by what right it is not mine to investigate , are considered by many to be incompatible with social order and with the principle of security

    of property . Now , Hungary has , and will have , with these doctrines nothing to do , for the most simple and more decisive reason—because in Hungary there is no occasion—there is not the slightest opportunity—for them . We have not the disease , so we want no medical speculations about the remedy . We want freedom and independence , and we will be rescued from the evil—the Austrian dynasty . But we want no theoretical speculations about property—we want them as little as the citizens of tbe United States , whose institutions we wish to have established in our country , with the difference hat Hungary ia and will not be divided in states , but will be one country , composed of free municipalities . ( Hear , hear . ) And I am confidently assured that all this is the very case also withluly . ( Hear , bear . ) Italy has also no occasion to share those doctrines , therefore neither its do

    people nor its popular leaders have anything to with them ; and I am therefore glad by my own feelings to know that this happy coincidence of circumstances can only strengthen the harmony , brotherly love , and union which between these two nations must exist , in consequence of the identity of their interests . So in response to vou * wishes , hopes , and sympathies , I will only say that my restoration to personal freedom I value cbiefly on account of seeing myself restored to activity and to my country ' s service . I have the full conviction of my country's freedom and independence being intimately identified with the freedom and independeiiceof Europe , and even with some very importan t interests of England itself . Resolutely I accept in my position all duties as well as all ilan gers of this persuasion , and my country , as well as all other peoples who share this identity , will always find me faithful to them . ( Hear . jT I wish

    Si mil u has throwa ^ Protecting flag 3 t ^ ' f et " «> . J > ope that the common sympathy which these two kindred nations , Englandland tbe United States , bear to the cause of my country and to myself , will be the first link of a closer union of the politics , of , the , two countries in respect to Europe , which union , convenien t as it is both to your great , glorious , and free countries ,-would make a happy turning point in , the destinies of huraanitv . ( Loud cheers . ) I should not have lived in vain should I haye lived to . be the instrument of such a consummation . And here I would not / were it not du

    my ty to reflect upon certain circumstances which 1 consider so extraordinary as to feel obliged to avail myself of this first opportunity which , offers itself to meet openly . The ci rcumstance is that I considered , and consider it still , to be my duty not to mix with any great party question of England , or of any other country . I wish the non-admission OX loroign intervention in mj- owa country , bo I must have clean hands myself in respect to other countries . That is my position , to which I will conscientiousl y adhere . 1 consider therefore , that my duty , as well fl 8 the respect to your laws .

    honesty-as-well as prudence , oblige me not to play hove the passionate part of an agitator , not to coquet with the reputation of being a revolutionist . In fact , I camo hither not to get this reputation , but rather I declare my conviction to be that England wants no revolution at all : because ,, firstly , it wishes butaprogreBsivedevelopmen ^ and , secondly , because England baa sufficient political freedom to be insured that whatever England may still need it will not only carry out , but will carry it out peaceably . ( Cheers . ) Now , this being my duty and my resolution , I act consistently—my ground was , is " , and will he , in England , this—such and suoh are the true facts of the past struggles of Hungary . These facts I confidently hope , are certain to secure the generous sentiments of England to my country's

    cause . I Btated that , in my opinion , the form of government can" be different in different couniries , according to their oircumatanccs , their wishes , ami their wants ; England loves hev Queen , and has full motive to do so ; England feels great , glorious , and free , - and has full motive to feel so ; but England being a monarchy , that can be no aunicientr ' reiirson to her to hate and discredit republican . forms of government in other countries , differing in circumstances , in wishes , and in wants . ( Cheers . ) On the contrary , tho United States of America , being likewise a great , glorious , and free country , under republican government , the circumstance of being republicans , cannot give them sufficient motive to hate and discredit monavchial government in England . ( Hear . ) It

    must be entirely left to the right of every nation to dispose of its domestic concerns . ; Therefore , all I claim for my country also is , that England , seeing out of our past that our cause jg just , should acknowledge the sovereign right of every nation to dispose of itself , and , by acknowledging this , England should not only not interfere , but also not allow any power whatever to interfere with the domestic matters of my country , nor of any other nation . The rest should be left to the respective nations themselves , the more bceause'i t is worthy of that independence and freedom for which we struggled . I therefore thought that this was not the place for me to speak about the future organisation and form of government of my country , because that ia a home question of ours , with which

    nobody ought to interfere . But my behaviour was not everywhere appreciated as I hoped . I metrather in certain quarters the remarks that 1 am slippery , and evade the question . Sow , on the question of sincerity , I am particularly susceptible , I have the sentiment of being a plain , honest man , and I would not be charged with . having entered by stealth into the sympathies of England without displaying my true colours . Therefore , I must state clearly that in oui past struggle we made no revolution . We began to transform , in a peaceful ; legislative manner ' , the monarchico-aristocratical constitution of Hungary into a monanchico-democratical constitution ; we conserved our municipal institutions as our most valuable treasure , but gave , to them as-well aa the legislative power , for

    basis , the common liberty of tho people ; instead of tbe class privileges of old , we established the personal responsibility of ministers ; instead of the Board of Council of old , which , being a nominal body , was of . course a mockery of that responsibility of the executive , which was our chartered rights on paper , but no reality . However we but conserved that which was due to us by constitu - tion , by treaties , by the C 6 r 6 hation oath of e very King , to be governed as a self-consistent , independent country by our down native institutions , according to our laws . We established the freedom of thought , of the word and pen , and secured the freedom of conscience . We introduced with the abolition of exemptions equality in duties and rights before the law . We obliged all to

    contribute to the public necessity , every man according to his faculties ; we emancipated the peasants , or rather gave them the land they tilled , to be their free property . We made the soil free , the labourer free , the industry free , trade freo ; but we spared all existing material interests of every class , and rewarded full indemnification for every material loss . "We established trial by jury , provided for the independent administration of justice , carDd for cheap government , and took , care that the national army should not become a tool of ambition amongst ourselves , or an instrument of oppression ' against foreign nations . ( Loud cheering . ) All this we did peacefully by careful legislation , whicu the king sanctioned and swore to maintain . But , this very dynasty in the most penurious manner attacked

    these laws , this freedom , this constitution , and our national existence by arms . We defended ourselves by arms victoriously , and after the perjurious dynasty called in tbe armies of Russia to beat us down , we resolved to defend ourselves against this tyrannical invader also , but of course declared the perjured Hapsburgs not to be more our Sovereigns—deposed them , banished , and declared ourselves a free and independent Nation , but tixed no definite form of government— . neither monarchical nor republican—declaring rather to bo willing to follow the advice of the European powers . ( Hear . ) These are facts which cannot be altered . 'beeause they are facts . By this you see ttmt in the past we inatfo no resolution At nil as ho the future . Every just man must acknowledge that Hungary lias fairly exhausted every peaceful means

    of- preservation ; it is not under the rule of the King , but under tho iron oppression of a tyrant who conquered Hungary by calling in sacrilegiously to his aid the armies of the Czar . So Hungary is not under government , but under a foreign intruder , who is not King of Hungary , being neither acknowledged bv the nation , nor sanctioned by law . Hungary is , in ii word , in a state of war against tho Ilapsburg dynasty . Hungary can in no other way regain its independence and . freedom Out in that way in which it was deprived of it—b y war—as every nation which is free and independent conquered its deliverance' from ita oppressors , like Switzerland , Belgium , Spain , Portugal , France , Sweden , Norway , Greece ,. the , United States , and England itself —( cheers)—that is by a revolution , as

    some would call it—by a war of legitimate defence , us I call it , I will ever . respect theiaws of England , and do nothing here contrary to them ; but so much I can state as a matter of fact that my nation will never accept and acknowledge the perjured House of ilapsburg to become ' again lawful sovereigns of Hungary—never will it ' enter into any transactions whatever with'tbat perjurious family , but will avail itself of every opportunity to shake off its yoke . Secondly , that though thepeople of Hungary were monarchical for a - ' -thousand years , yet tbe continued perjury of the Hapsburgs during 300 years—the sacrilegious faithlessness by wbich it destroyed us own historical existence with the historical existence of my nation , as also my country ' s present intolerable oppression—have so

    entirely plucked out of the heart of my natiun every faith , belief , and attachment to monarchy , that there is no power on . earth to knit the broken tie again ; and , therefore , Hungary wills and wishes to be a free and independent republic ; but a republic founded on the rule of law , securing social order , security to person and to property , and the moral development as well as the material welfare of the people —( cheers )—in a word , a republic like that of the United States , founded on institutions inherited from England itself . This is the conviction of my people , which 1 share in the very heart of my heart . I confidently hope that tbe people 6 f

    England will appreciate the justice of these remarks , and appreciate the honest convictions of my heart ; neither will it falter in its sympathy to thatciuise which it honoured with its sympathy , which it judged to be righteous and true , and which it consoled " by its wishes and hopes . All I entveafc ia that tbe people of England may not give a charter to the Czar to dispose of the world , but rather make respected , by its powerful position , the right of every nation tO dispose Of' itself . With this hope I thank you onco mure for your sympathy . I beg leave , fatigued as I am , to retire , confidently trusting your noble-minded feelings cannot have the will to divert this demonstration of your sympathy into

    any party discussions j in which ; 1 consequently could not participate , but which still could not'fail to increase the difficulties , and do harm to my oountry ' s cause , which you houour by your sympathy . ( Gheerg . ) „• . . , , , , But little of , this admirable speech was heard by the vast proportion of tho multitude ; but those who were within the compass of Kossuth s voice cheered many passages in the address , and the cue being taken from this , the wuolo populace . joined in . The address was onoe interrupted with a slight episode which excited alternate groans and laughter . The Times , " which had been exhibited in the procession on a g ibbet , was burnt , and its ashes thrown . into the duck pond . In accordance With the resolution of the committee no one addressed the meeting bub Koasuth , and the proceedings in Copenhagen-fields , therefore , closed as they beganwith lustycheering . : . * . ... - ... . s

    , , The procession was re-formed after Kossuth had retired ,-and those who joined in it proceedod to Highbury-barn , whcre ; the occasion was to he celebrated by a public dinner . M . Kossuth , after a few minutes spent in his apartment in . convenation with the committee , proceeded to his carriage , which drove oil' at a very rapid pace , amid the enthusiastic cheering of the Crowd , which dispersed soon after in the most tranquil and orderly manner . Indeed their deportment , throughout the day was most exemplary , tbe onl y " interruption to the general decorum being the occasional immersion by the pressure' of the . crowd of youngsters in the pond which lies immediately in the front of Copenhagen Houaei

    BIMER AT HIGHBURY BARN TAVERN . In the evening a public dinner was g iven at the Highbury lJitth Tavern , Mr . Thornton Iluncin the chair . The spacioas room was crowded , and the company" was graced by the presence of a fair sprinkling of ladies . Probably not fewer than 800 persons sat down to the substantial repast which was provided for them . Most of the banners which had figuredin the-procession were . now displayed on the walls , and a powerful brass band was in attendance , which played a number of popular airs during the evening ; . of , tbese the " . Marseillaise , " "Tho Roast Beef of Old . England , " "Yankee Doodle , " and "Koa ^ uth ' s March , " appeared to'be the favourites , and were received with several rounds of applause . The tables having at length been cleared ,

    The Chairman said it was usual to begin the list of toaBts with one of a purely formal character , and that expressed generally the feeling which animated thewhole assembly . In that sense he would propose the following : — " The People "—( vociferous cheering )—the enthusiasm of the meeting had prevented him from finishing even the first word . The whole toast was " The Peoples : may they ever be allied in . the defence of liberty . " ( Three times three , ) The ftlamiilaise was again played , and was rapturously applauded . At its conclusion a temporary platform was erected for tho convenience of the chairman , The Cbaibmjw said his first duty was to state tbe

    result of some of the invitations which had been sent from tho committee . They had issued a very limited number of these invitations , and they had received a still more limited number of replies ; for by far the larger portion of the immense assembly present were volunteers in tbe oaiiBe of liberty . ( Cheers . ) Their Jnvitations'had been dictated by a desire to avoifr ' ahy appearance of party selection ; for the committee thought that their choice should be in accordance with " the spirit of the immense demonstration they had seen that day . ( Cheers . ) A large number-of persons , of very varied political opinions , were present ; and he believed that , throughout the kingdom , all classes and all shades of politics , except a very few , had supported

    Kossutfi . ( Bear . ) That , therefore , was the principle upon which they had acted . Amongst others , an invitation had been sent to Lord Dudley Stuart , who stated that he did not consider his presenco at a banquet , where Kossuth was not present would be useful . In the course of his lotter his lordship spoke of the pleasure and pride with which he regarded "tho noblo demonstration made by his fellow countrymen of the working classes in favour of the great Hungarian patriot . " An invitation had also been sent to Mr . Bancroft Davies , the committee knowing that from his political position , as welt as from his perfect knowledge of the United States , he would be able to tell them what he ( the chairman ) might also state , namely , that in

    support of the tree peoples of Europe there would bo , between the Conservative ( or Whig ) party of the United States , and tho Liberals ( or Democrats ) , but one feeling . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Davies had declined , as they knew that gentleman in an official position must do . ( Hear . ) Mr . W . J . Fox stated that he was leaving town upon engagements which he could not postpone . He expressed , however , his perfect concurrence in tlfeir ihtenued proceedings . ( Che ' ers . ) Mr . G , Dawson had an engagement in Ireland , Mr . Chas . Gilpin stated that a special engagement , by which he hoped to be . useful to their illustrious visitor , prevented his attendance . ( Ilear , hear . ) The Secretary ( Mr . Petty ) then vcad the ad . dress , which had been presented to M . Kossutb , and which was loudly applauded by the meeting .

    The Chairman said he need hardly roporfc to them the proceedings of the day . lie did not know whether all present had been at the house in Copenhagen-fields , but he did know that there was a gathering so immense as to defy calculation in those who were not accustomed to view large masses . ( Cheers . ) The numbers had been vBriously estimated . One gentleman , whose report they might , perhaps , see to-morrow , had estimated them 6 , 000 . ' ( Great laughter , ami cries of " 600 , 000 , more likely . " ) If , indeed , the spirit of Europe Was reduced to such a forlorn hope ns that he would call on them to give that noble- 6 , 000 , who had met ; that day ; three cheers . ( Laughter and applause . ) But his own imagination went rather further ( and he was used to public meetings , ) so that he did not speak without experience , nor was

    he unsupported by others in hi 3 view . His . opinion , then , waB that the numW would be understated at 75 , 000 . " ( Cheers and cries of " More . " ) He believed , indeed , that they might fairly state it at 100 , 000 . ( Loud cheers . ) Three cheers , then , for tiie 100 , 0 . 00 . ( Loud applause . ) That . . immense assembly was too large to catch the full tones of Kossuth's voice , enfeebled as it had been by his unjust captivity —( hear , hear)—but so far as he had been heard , he ( Mv . Hunt ) had never seen one who had . spoken with more effect . ' ( Cheers . ) lie was perfectly delighted to witness on two points tho heartiness , the suddenness , and the spontauifcy with which the applause had followed the sentiment . One of these was where M . Kossuth had said that

    England would not permit Russia any longer to oppress the nations ; ( Cheers . ) The other point was where ho said , what he { Mv . Hunt ) knew to be tbe truth , that the United States would stand by England in combatting the despots of the world . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Hunt concluded by calling upon ¦ Mr . £ k MJissey , who proposed as a toast " Koasuth and . Hungary . " ( Cheers . ) He rapidly sketched the Hungarian contest , and said that Kossuth came among us defeated in ' ¦ ¦ his' lofty struggle , and he was enthroned in tho hearts of half the world . ( Loud cheers . ) They welcomed this glorious leader amongst them , and well he knew how tho tyrants of Russia and Austia would gaash their teeth in impotent rage when thev heard of that day ' s

    proceedings . ( Cheers . ) The scandalous . " TimeB had attempted to blight his fame ; but let it lie on . ( Cheers . ) Let it , likethe viper , bite the file which , would one day drawtthe teeth of many SUCh . ( Lbud cheers . ) Let not the people , however , stand idly by in the great struggle which was approaching , but Jet them labour , not only in the cause of Europe , but to make our own country one that should be worth living and dying for . ( Loud cheers . ) ¦ ¦ - -. ¦ ' ,. .. . Dr . tlTAciSTHE Ronav ( an Hungarian ) said the present was ihe first occasion ¦ in which he had spoken in their language—the language of a free andj generous . people—the ' . languagie of a country whose hospitable shores had received the Hungaand the

    rian ^ , - protected them from cruel persecution of tyrants . ( Cheers ;) ; What should he say then ? What , but as David had said of old , " Israel issiain upon the higli places ; how is the-mighty fallen ? . " ( Cheers . ) He trusted they would let him speak shortly of Hungary , his dear and ever memorable fatherland . There came a nation out of the cradle of tho human race—out of Asia—and they conquered the mig hty rivers , tbe'fertJIe' plains , and the , rich mountains of Pomerania , They were called Hungarians and their hew home Hungary . They were free at all times—free and independent . By . their own choice they chose a king from the family of Hapsburg ; but all the emperors were obliged to swear to respect the privileges of the country . Every king of tho Austrian line had given liis word , and every king had broken his word ' . ( Loud cheerB . ) Every king had taken a holy oatb , and every king . had been foresworn . But there was lause

    a God in Heaven , andHe wasjust . ( Great app , ) They had fought for their freedom and for religion , as well for their Protestant as for their' Catliolic brethren ; they fought for their freedom , for their happiness , for their lives . ( Cheers . ) Upon the ruina of their holy churches had risen the freedom of their couutry . . ( Cheers . ) But base men could not boar holiness and goodness ; and iyrants . could not endure happiness and peace . The Russian came , and their fathers , their mothers , their brethren , their sisters were killed . But , as ho said before , there was a God in Heaven , - and he wasjust ; the day of retribution could not be far distant ' and -he invoked , in his country ' s cause the justice ' and generosity of tne ' . English , people , ( Loud , Cheer 8 . ) He trusted that the sympathy whioh they met with in the palaces of tiie rich and the cottages of the poor would support them .

    great experience in publio meetings , and it was his deliberate- op inion that the demonstration tli . it mornin" had boen attended by at least 150 , 000 p « r . sons ( Cheers . ) Why was it that these immense manifestations in 1848 in favour of Hungary hnd had no effect ? Simply because the people wore not represented in the House of Commons . To secure that ought to be their chief object , wny were the political parties higgling about house , hold suffrage and the like ? "Why uid they not demand universal suffrago ? ( Loud cheers , hisses , and cries of ?' Question . ' ') Mr .

    Mr . David Masso . v , a member of the Italy , " ably replied to the toast . Mr . PuraB . tuen proposed " France , " coupling tritn the toast the name of M .

R , Owen , who excused himself on the ground Of t ! iO shortness of the invitation , and concluded by the following toast , which was forthwith proposed to the meeting and loudly applauded : " The per * manent peace of the world through the federation of all nations under a constitution which will secure perpetual equality according to ago , and juatice to every one ; with health , long life , and great success to KOBBUth , late Governor of Hungary . " Tho Chaibman aho read the following letter from ' M . Mazzini : —

    Sir , —Your kind invitation reached mo very late on Saturday , and I regreo that both' previoug engagements and other merely personal motives will prevent me from availing myself of it ; but in heart , soul , and wishes I am with you , and with all those who advocate the principles contained in your address to Kossuth , ' that on the brotherhood of the people rest the hopes of civilisation and the free development of man ' s noblest faculties . ' A truly holy alliance of the nations on the basis of freedom and equality , for the moral , intellectual , and

    physical progress of mankind has been the foremost thought of all that I have , during twenty two years , spoken , written , done , and endeavoured . Let that foremost thought live and act through all your manifestation . God and the people—truth and right—will help you on ; yburi way , on which the blessing and friendship of all now bleeding ., and struggling nations will welcome the English nation . —Believe me , Sir , with cordial thanliB , ever faith * fully yours , '' JoaBFH MAZZINI .

The country will appreciate the kindness as well as delicacy which suggested thia visit , not without its significance It now appears that M , Kossuth has refused tot accept the general invitation sent to him front Birmingham , and the mayor has declined to invite officially , because his year of office is so near itB termination .
