We obliged all to contri- Rate to the public necessity, every man senonling t hie faculties; we emancipated the peasants, or, rather, gave them the land they tilled to be their free proper- ty.

The procession was reformed after Kossuth had retired, and those who joined in it proceeded to Highbury Barn, where the occasion was to be celebrated by a public dinner. M. Kossuth, after ® few minutes spent in his apartment, in conver- sation with the committze, proceeded to his car- riage, which drove off at avery rapid arid the enthusiastic cheering of the crowd, which dis- Dersed soon after in the most tran manner.

Kossuth having lisvened with to Mr. Taylor's observations and the address, proceeded to addrees the deputation nearly as follows:— XOSSUTH S REPL Gentlemen:--The views and sentiments which the chairman of the eommittee of the Association of the Friends of Italy, in sc eloquent and so logical a form, and with such nobl nded expressions, has been Pleased to address to me, have put me in a situation rather favorable with respect to my amswer. In other phases and on other occasions when I addressed public assemblies, and where I expected to find only the sympa thy of the heart, not yet onited with an understanding of the cause, there, of course, it was my duty to explain my views, my principles, amd the true ature ef those principles, and of that cause of which I bave the honor to be the humble representative in order that the sympa- thy of my hearers might ripen end grow into something like practical action with yoo, gentlemen, mie | an entire identity in views, I ficd thet lem anticipate in what I wish to say, and that what I sought for Is al ready established and at work bere in England. Of course then, it is not necessary for me to enter imtothose views and fentimente; it cnly remeins for me to say thet I fee! moet happy in seeing a body—a corporation, established by the impulse cf thelr own sen- timents, to promcte, nd to advance that ‘Very cause and thoee very p Which I have con. sidered to be the exd ‘exo sim my life.

(Cheers ) Public opinion, to have any lfect on the free- dom of the world, must be ready to say, ‘ Now, we will go to war if our opinion be misled.” Such pronunciation would bes difficult thing to cbtain in England, where there are numerous classes who would be territied at the name of war. Still, if you merely declare that you eya- pathise with the cause of freedom, but will never, in any fer it, such public opinion ‘merely & charter to despotiem. (Cheers.) If the dee- | fot know that, however he may trample on the righte of | ‘nations, cr even on the interests of Englead, there will be | no active interfere then I must confess that there is not so much weight in your public opinion as would in- | fluence the fate of Burope in the slightest degree.

(Hear, hear.) One word more with respect to public opinien. When thesentiments of a people take for their aim the pritciple ¢f non-interventioa, it should mot be unilateral non-intervention. which would mean that Eog- | land would interfere in no case. That would be to aban- don her porition im the face of the world. (Cheers) tf, whatever may be done with respect to other nations, England is to weigh nothing in the destinies of hu- manity, then England may be @ happy island as it is; but it would cease to be & member of human family— cease to be the brother of other nations. Im short, it would not realise the idea, which is the chief principle and foundation of the Christian religion, that, having one Father inheaven, that very doctrine declares us to | be brothers—and that brothers have a duty to one and another, (Loud cheers) The principle of non inter. vention. unilaterally net would not be a Chris. tian principle, would not be a humane principle, and would not be 8 good political principle—because it gnat: would lead toa ion of the power and position of England. (Hear, hear) Now, thatis the only thing I with to say respecting developement of public he opinion in England, as it pH. the external affairs of Europe, I wish it to take such a direction as that every naticn. as well as all d powers, should be sure of this--that when public opinion in England destares itself © ling to side with the principles of freedom, those in- Clinsticns and thore declarations of public opinion will be more than mere signs; that they will come to realities. with war or without war, as circumstances may reuire. (Hear, hear.) In short, that it wiil be a more active par- ticipation in the destinies of mankind. and not merely the passing emotion of noble hearts; not such compassion as we give to the memery of the dead. whom we cannot help. cannot restore to life. but that the public opinion of Ergland. dec! the sovereign right of every nation to manage its own ‘will be enforced with all the ‘weight of its morai power and its material power (Hear, bear.)

Ina word, wehave pu ds to ry large extent. and my belief is, that they should be distributed among the people, becau verpments, all over the world, make the worst agricul 6, manufacturers, or traders. (Hear, hear) The 1 think that the beet plan is, when the governme! bee —_ qusntity of land, to divide it im small ze | toms, end give it tothe people. The very taxes. which | these peopie, industrious and prosperous, will pay into | the treasury, will produce much more than the pro‘t of the lands if held by the government. (Hear, hear.) I who was Virst Lord of the Treasury in Hungary, speak from experience, and had not war come on, J would have distributed the lands to the peop! 4 Tam convinced that the public revenue would have been raised to a higher emount they remained in our own hands, because governments have always been bad traders. Wear, bear.) Now, by these conditions, which could be united with financial operations, siving thirty or forty acres to each man. united with suc! & banking system as would enable him to pay off the price of his land in thirty or f years in small sums, there would also be ange basis for financial operations, not to keep up large armies, but to build railways and cpen up free communie throughout the realm. (Hear and cheers.) There is a small portion of H. in which the people are more manufacturing than © gO ce fo cultural. We have not any great factories, but rather & small system of private industries. like the way in which, as lam informed, Birmingham re from Manchester. In the latter there are great factories, employing each their thousands of men, while in Bir. mingham all are small masters. Now such men want no theorists or theories about the distribution of labor and capital. They work each in an independent position, and a want political freedom to enable to goon. Such being the state of Hungary, the larger por- tion of the people being proprietors of the soll—it being a consequence of the = revolution that the whole - cultural classes have become free proprietors of the soil— and there being large State lands which, united with a good tanking system, by which nt would be ilitated. I would have distributed among the people; and manufacturing industry not being found in factories where the «uestion of the relations of labor aed capital have to be discussed, but being on a small scale, carried on by private parties there is no occasion for those new doctrines which are termed socialism or communiem, neither of which, I confess. do I very well understand. (Cheers and laughter) I have read the works. and I have consulted the professors, and from no get a similar definition; and therefore I do not understand the words. (Cheers.) There is none of that clearness about these doctrines that is about the doctrine of political freedom. (Loud cheers.) That is the doetrine which gives to every man the facalty of doing what t for himself, without any arbitrary po urt his neighbor, which is mot freedom.

M. de Tho- rigny, Minister of the Interior, next ascended the tribune, and read the following message of the President ef the republic :— THE MESSAGE.

Let us therefore unite our efforts to deprive the spirit of evileven of the hope of a momentary succes. ‘The best means to attain this end has always appeared to me the application of that system which consists in satiety in the legitimate interests on the one hand, and on the other to suffocate, at the moment of their appear- ance, the slightest symptoms of an attack against reli- gion, morality, and society. Thus, to procure labor by granting to companies our eat lines of railway, and with the money which the State wil procure from there projects to give a strong impulse to the other works in all the other departments; to encourage those institutions destined to develope agri- cultural and commercial credit; to come x means of ebaritable institutions to the assistance of all poverty=— such bas been and such still must be our first care, and it is by following this course that it will become easier to bave recourse to means of repression when their necessi- ty shall have become felt. greate?

At Lyons a strong and unique system of police has been organized, embracing twelve towns or suburban communer, which the law bas comprehended under the denomination of the Lyonese agglomeration. Political refugees entered into dangerous affiliations Some it was necessary to expel, but bospitality has con- tinued to be extended to very large numbers. Asum of more than 486,000f, beew divided among 2.000 refugees. The vices of the municipal organization spring from the necessity under which the government tound iteelf of in one year revoking, on the advice of the Council of State, 601 elective functionaries, of whom 278 were mayors, and 123 adjoints. dissolutions of Municipal Councils have amounted to 126; those of National Guards to 139. Although the maintenance of security and the appli- cation of severe measures principally devolve on the Ministry of the Interior, and before all require its ac- tion, its enlightened zeal has spared no means of ex- tending iteelf at the same time to all that might stima- late labor—that first condition of well-being and tran- quillity. ‘Thus the municipal administration of Parishas adopted = eneral progress, | fate the governm of our finances, it will be easy, if you think ft, to have recourse to eredit on conditions faverable to the treasury.

U the whole, the total length of the sections opened for fra , in 1851, exceeds 500 kilometres; and the works on the other sections are so advanced as to permit of an addition to our network of railroads of 330 kilometres in 1852} A connect! line is recognized as necessary for the purpore of uniting the points of arture of the principal railroads running out of the capital. You have appointed the 10th of November next for the discussion of, as business of pressing importance, the two bills relative to the railroad from Paris to the Me- diterranean Public opinion continues to mark that out to you asa work ef the first necessity. The ite for the completion and improve- ment of the highways are too joted to allow those parts of the country which, on account of the difficulty presented by the soil, have not been comprehended in the network of railroads er to have the adva of more convenient communications. In the budget of 1852, I ask you for the means of ameliorating thie po- sition, by putting it in accordance with distributive justice. Interior navigation, that indispensable auxiliary of agriculture and commerce, together with the railroads, has not been neglected. Great results are already, or will at @ future time, be attained, in spite of the iasuf- ficieney of the sums of money. ‘The lateral canal at the Garonne, already open for na- ation between Toulouse sud Agen, to an extent o: 127 Kilometres, will be carried forward in some months as far as Mas, 42 kilometres beyond Agen, and made to communicate with the Baigre.

Surveysare going on in the same spirit for the im- provement of the navigation of the Loire and Garonne. Among the civil edifices and national palaces which bave been finished in the course of the present year, I may mention the barins of Versailles and St Cloud, the Library of St. Gerevieve, the Stamp Oflice. and the resto ration of the salons of the Louvre.

An inquiry made into the institutions of landed credit will, by new documents, facilitate the sti and the dis- cussion of the ject of law on this subject, now sub- mitted to the deliberation of the Assembly. ‘The results of ba th ag on the establishments for agricultural colovization in Holland, Switzerland, Bel- gium, and France. have been publiehed. — and detailed iastructions have been addressed to cts to facilitate the execution of the law of the of March, 1851, which has organized the legal representation of agricultural industry, and general out the wish two vast ee which at one and the ame time pre- sent the advantage of facilitating the supply of provi- sions to the capital, and of adding to its beauty; I mean the construction of the markets, and the prolongation of the rue Rivoli.
