(Loud cheers.) And why is such sympathy felt for the cause of Hi in B: ? Why is it that the name of Louis Kossuth is heard at the firesides of the middie classes, and I would fain hope, of the higher classes, one of whom we number among our visiters to day? It is because is believed worthy to represen the wants and wishes of » great people, he has ia telleet to make him wortby of their con! , and tl he has those qualities of the heart without which in- tellect would be a curse, (Hear, hear.) I confess I had formed @ favorable opinion of the refugees from those that I have the honor to be usinted with, and pro- Dably there are few who have greater pegomanises of judging ‘of the refugees than I have had. I have seen demeanor s manly fortitude in the midst of their distress which has convinced me that they porsess, in a reat degree, those qualities of which E: en are 60 justly proud. I am convinced that ifa people more than any Ciber resemble the English and Amerioaos, the iua- gariams are that people; and, gentlemen, the presence ‘of our friend among us, and among the people »f Eng- tand, will enhance our respect for his people. It is ii sible to hear him speak, to hear his friends and nei rs speak of him, without feeling that here isa who, being thrown into the highest position, acted Ii snanner worthy of that position, and that the people who placed him in such # position were worthy of sucha man. Now, it may be asked, what particular results can flow from our demonstrations of respect for our friend? I am sure they will not be quite barren of fruits, if they afford him some consolation for the hardships he has been obliged to undergo during the last two or three years. But there is more than that in the tribute of we have heard from his friends, aud there is an itional to our favor in the mal ity of his ‘mies, enemies being the friends of despotism. Hear, hear ) (Hear, Now, people will see how fur the aspira- tions of Evrope wil go with his cause, amd how far they may expect support of Englishmen. or Americans, in their future proceedings. (Hear, hear.) Now, my illus- trious friend stated, at ins reniten ate of his’ most elo- quent address, that he wished only for such a demonstra-_ tion in this country as hall prevent Russia from invading his country, or from interfering with the settlement of its domestec affairs. Well, if there be one man who has @ stronger opinion than another on the subject of non- interventicn, I am that man. [am fanatical in that doctrine, because I think there can be no yr or man- hood in’ the country whieh looks to the right or left for external aid and is not allowed to develope its resources by its own internal Lo nag but I quite agree with my friend that a word spoken by England would have an almost irreristible force in the councils of despotic reigns. 1 confess I hear with regret that the inva- sion of Hungary by Russia, the greatest scandal to civilization in our dey, should have been allowed to pass without an apgry protest from this country. I stated that so long as the dispute lay between Austria and Hungary, we should go no further than express ‘our sympathy with the right; but from the moment that Russia interfered, it became » changed question. Here was a semi barbarous power coming down with its hordes to crush a more civilized country, and a strong protest from the government and people of this country would heve been of immense advantage. But whut were the facts’ Other States were in the toils of a reaction, and the leading newspapers of this country not only uttered no protest, but actually expressed opinions in favor of the Russian cause. (ileat, hear ell, then, T say, thet, were pubile opinicn so far enfightened that newspapers would not dare to falsify it by taking side with Russia, it would not require nag dy? from an English Foreign Minister to make that opinion have ‘Weight with foreign despots.

My efforts have been made to make us underrtard our duty with regard to interferenc» in foreign countries, Iam aimost afraid to look back fo* the last twenty years and see what has been our conduct. ‘There was our most wicked interferenve in the affairs of Portugal. where we boldly carried off the leaders of the people in order to subserve the interests of the court; and then there were our proceeedings in Greeee and in the aflairs of Holstein. 1 cannot find, then, that we have clean hands, and therefore my advice to the English and American people- and I think there have been some syinp- tome of the latter people falling into the hy ame view to them is that they should promptly adopt the principle of non-intervention. When Lord Grey came into office, non intervention was to be their motto, and yet I believe that, from the parting of the Keform bill there bas been more in- tervention than in the time of the tories. Let us, then, get tothe sound principle, and then I believe that the word “Stop,” applied to Kussia, would be as conclusive as if we spoke with the voice of a thousand cannon, ([ear ) Gen- tiemen, my friend there ts new to England, bat no donbt he bas gone through the toil and turmoil of public life, knows that the threat of the enemies of liberty are the seme in Austriaas in England.

They would have us forget that for about 250 years, from the middle of the fifteenth century tothe end of the seventeenth, Hungary did not Belong to Christendom at all; her finest provinces had been conguered by the Turks; Bada was a Pashalik ; in the Turkish wars of that period, and even as Jate as 1683, Hungarian soldiers were serving with the Turks against the empire ; her Zapolya and Rakoozy, were v: ef the Jrand Seignior ; and from this state of Mussuliman @ was rescued by Austrian and German armies, under Prince Fuge, about 150 years ago. If the house of Austria had not bad valid claim to the crown of Huogary, and at last found strength to enforce it, the kingdom might still be what ser- via is now, a tributary province to Constantinople. It is an obvious absurdity to talk of a constitutional monarchy of S00 years standing, when the country wea prastioally ‘overned for the greater part of three centuries by Turkish despotism ; and this state of things was only terminated by the success of the imperial arms in the reign of our King William Il. is true that the two chief elements of her constituticn, tbe aristocracy and the munioi bodies, did survive this period of bondage ; but the local independence they retained exe: d little or no control over the government of the kingdom. ‘The Hungarian constitution, as it existed before the revolution of 1848, was strictly aristocratical. It was, indeed, replete with allthe abuses and de- fects adherent in that form of government, when it is not tempered by the democratic element or con- trolled by public opinion. Evon the taxes wore exclusively im} by, one favored class which did not pay them, and exclusively pes by the peasantry and the humbler cl which did not vote them. ‘The nobility maintained its privileges with absurd and arrogant intolerance, for it wa; only of late years, and by a party of en- lightened men of that order, that the smallest con- cessions were wrung even from the most indefen- sible privileges. But in spite of these indisputable evils it had the two great qualities, without which no constitutional government can exist at all—it bad strength and it had duration In ages and countries where the rights of the people are opposed to a powerful and encroaching prerogative of the crown, they can only be effectually defended b: aristocratic institutions. The aristocracy stan midway between the People and the sovereign, and though it may oppress former, it controls the latter. It has traditional power, wealth, territorial possessions, and political independence in sufficient masses to rosist the current of despotic authority. Remove those barriers, and although some of the abstract rights of the le at large may appear to eee yet if collate catmata the pret 1 in de- fenee of its constitutior rights is diminished. Hungary, under an aristocratic constitution, had maintained her independence against most unto ward circumstances, but Hungary represented by a re- volutionary assembly, was shorn of her ellective power, and had already lost the bulwarks she had 80 pocaantly opposed to the policy of the house of Hapsburg. Nothing could more rapidly have pre- pared her to bo merges in the Austrian meerny than the policy which M. Kossuth himself pursued. He now represents the Austrian constitution of the ith of March, 1340, as the act which would have justified him in proceeding to the deposition of the Sovereign, because it was an attempt to abrogate the Hungarian constitution. But if so, whatever may be thought of the recent abandonment of the general constitution of the empire, that measare has at least the gee effect of reviving the legal in- stitutions it ha Sout to abolish, and we are happy to find that this is the view taken by the conservative and constitutional party among the Magyars, who now anticipate the eventual restora- notes the Parliament of Hungary to its true rights. . Kossuth boasts, with Lage assurances of modesty, that in March, 1845, be had all the crowns of the house of Hapsburg in his hands, and that it was he who generously made poace between the Emperor and the mob of Vienna. The admis- sion is so far valuable that it establishes the near connection between the disturbances in Vienna and the schemes of the Mygyar party for the dismem- berment of theempire. But he omits to explain that it was the very same spirit of nationality and race then endeavoring to wrest Hungary from its connection with the Austrian empire, that pro- ceeded to wrest Croatia and the Slavonian pro- vinces from tho kingdom of Hongery. The revolt of the couthern provinces was at least as justifiable as that of the Dict of Posth on the mere principle of nationality, while it was distinguished from the ee rebellion by the important difference that Jellachich andthe Sclavonians rose in defence of their allegiance to tke Crown, and that Kossuth and the Magyars rose against it. We can, however, barely expect our readers to follow us into a discusssion of past events which belong to the domain of history, and of history still distorted by the misrepresentations of party feeling. Our business is rather to examine the motives and character of the species of agitation, which we ob- serve to be springing up with reference to this Hungarian stranger, and to point out its real ob- jects. We take those objects to bo twofold—the ‘one foreign, the other domestic. An opportunity now presents itself for holding out to the sympathy of the ple of England, and under its mest favorable t, the colors of that European revolution, which has hitherto concealed itself «von in the land where its leaders found » refage, and was sternly repudiated by the good sense of the nation when the continent was overwhelmed and submerged by itsexcesses. It is hoped that when- ever a fresh outbreak occurs, England may be in- duced to throw herself more actively and openl; into the revolutionary cause; and we observe wit! sorrow that enco! ement has sometimes been af- forded to this delusion by the departmont of the English government which ought most carefully to have avoided it. We need hardly say that, whon the hour of trial arrives, all roal support from the responsible Minister of the Crown wil be entiroly withheld, as it was in the case of Hunga: id Sicily. Mr. Cobden indeed has « different pan: for the sufferings of Europe. He recommends us to reduce the army and navy, to abjure war, to turn the bayonet into the shuttle, and then to say to the great Cmewoy A monarchies of :urope, that we will not tolerate their intervention, and that the kirgs of the earth are to learn wisdom and to one the pacific oracles of Manchester. Probably M. Kossuth’s experience gives him a moro just and practical view of the mode by which the emanci- — of his country can be alone effected. He mews it must be by war, and he comes here to h war. ‘There is no other remedy— there is no other resource in thecase. The fate of nations is decided by the — of armies, and no struggle is so unequal as that between moral resis- tance and physical oppression. But though he come here avai ling himself of the unrestricted liber- ty of que ee een to endeavor to excite a popolar feeling in favor of hostilities against two at least of the peisoigel European Powers, there is a touch of com his arriving with a leading member ef the Peace Society in his train. aaa ten effect of all this in England will be nothing; but we already learn from Vienna that the practical effect of these demonstrations on in Austria is most incon- countrymen abroad Key yp ge of pay largely for the vio- Lord Baimerston's pass ire to his Cives overnmen iesetass ressed at h ports will soon fail to = other attention than the persecutions of the police all over the continent Wi ever, that the Inglish politicians pee on this a @ private or object than on the wrongs of Hungary.

Born at Nice, 1796, he studied for the bar, which prot he jactised as an advocate in the vourt of tia, in Jorsica. He was a candidate for the liberal oppo- sition under the monarchy of July. Since the re- volution of Febiuary he has steered a moderate course between the republicans and the party of reaction. He forms with M. Abbatucci one of the moet confidential advisers of Louis Napoleon. Kippolyte Fortoul, Minister of Marine, is a “lysean, anda member of the Assembly, whero he represents the department of the Basses- Alpes. M. Fortoul begaa life as a literary man, with radical political principles, and distinguished himself by contributions to the Revue de Puris, L’ Artiste, andthe Natimnal. During the latter years of the reign of Louis Philippe, M. Fortoul obtained the professorship of literature at Aix, tince which period his politics have veered round to conservatism. mon- tioned in the latter ‘ortoul was formerly a St Simonian. He isa fluent speaker. M. Corbin, Minister of Justice, is procareur- 5 ral at Bourges, in which capacity he has distin- guished himself by his activity and zeal in the logal investigations relative to the recent socialist in- surrection in the Valley of the Loire. M. Corbin was formorly procureur-general at Angers, and Ibdistinguished by his firmness and talent in speak- ing. Ki. de Thorigny, Minister of the Interior, was formerly advocate-general of the court of Paris. Under Louis Philippe he spoke in several of the prineipal prosecutions of the press. Since the re- Yolution of 1848 he has returned to the bar. He was considered as a staunch legitimist, and has suc- cesefully defended, in his legal career, several legi- timist journals under prosecution. M. Charles Giraud, Minister of Public Instruc- tion, held this post before as one of the provisional ministers on the downfall of the Baroche cabinet. He is a member of the Institute, and must not be confounded with M. Augustin Giraud, of Angers, who was recently consulted by the President on formation of a ministry. R M. de Ss.

Emilede Girardin says:—‘‘Whatever be the character of the new cabinet, the ministers who propose to repeal the law of tn *31, neod only this reason to have the support of all who do not desire civil war.” The decrees, appointing the ministers, were signed yesterday at the Elysee. To-day, at 4 o’clock, the President was stillat St. Cloud. I met Generals Ma, d St. Arnaud riding from St. Cloud to Paris, at that hour, with a numerous staff. The commander-in-chief is a brisk-looking little officer, of about 60. St. Arnaud, on the contrary, is a large heavy individual, of about 50. The Committee of Permanence met to-day, in ursuance of their resolution on Thursday. M. Sharles Giraud, the Minister of Public Instruction, was introduced, and read the letter which the President notifies to the committee t! pointment of the new cabinet. M. de Montemart and M.

The information I have reotived from various sources, bar led me to the conclusion that the English writer has not ex: ited the evils he portrays. On the contrary, the object of the author sprees to have been to call public attention to abuses which, ifthey lad last- ed Jor would have undermined the foundations of the Nea in government, and would, sooner or later. have led to those viclent explorions which fe!low a protracted jatem of aggray: injustice.

Thousands are arriving weekly, and amosg that number are mapy women with large families of small children, jn search of their husbands, who, on landing, are without money or means to proceed on their journey, and too frequenty, when landed on this shore, afilic- ted with sickness. The poor creatures are then orthwith conveyed, by the commissioners, to the island, where every medical attention is paid to them, good food and raiment is bountifully provided; and when able to proceed on their journey, are pro- vided with money, through Mr. William A. Bayley, the very competent and gentlemanly agent,—their expenses are paid, and are direotly forwarded to their destination. Mon and women are frequently sent west to their relatives and friends, and their expenses paid, with an understanding that when they earn the amount advanced, they must remit it back; and well to say, that scarcely a week passe® but what Mr. Bayley receives letters containing money from some one of the emigrants whose ex- penses had been advanced, to_forward their passage west.

When arrested, Clark, who is a mere of amall growth, laughed, and said, “ Well, I suppose will give me the length of the law.’?

The majority of the inmates, as will be seen by the annexed sta- tistics, are sick of some disease, in the hospital, which is abeut the average, as the healthy portion are more sey enabled to obtain employment. Thousands of emigrants are going to and from the island weekly, and not only have we this tide of adopted citizens populating the nals but a large number of natives are ushered into the world on this island, as we witnessed near a bundred anxious mothers near their confinement in the lying-in department. Not bay f have the Commissioners to provide for those on the island, but a large number of widows, with large families, who prefer to be in the city, and by the monthly allowance of some three or four dollars, enough to pay their rent, the poor mother seeks work to provide food for herself and children. Many of them prefer this mode to a residence on the island, and the Commissionors also find the ex- penges less.
