I will feel no joy even here, amd the days of my stay here will turn out to be lost for my father-land—lost at the very time whem every moment is teeming in the decision of Europe’s destiny. Citizens, much as Iam wanting some hours of reet, much as I have need to become familiar with the ground I will have to stand upon before I enter om business matters publicly, I took it for a duty of honor, mot to let escape even! this first moment of your gemerous wel- come, without stating pisinly and openly te you what ort of man Ram, and what are theexpectations end the hopes—what are the motives which brought md now to your shores. Gentlemen, I have to thank the peopie, Congress, and government of the United States”) or my liberation from captivity. Human tongue hes mo words to express the bliss which I felt when I— thedown- trodden Hungary's wandering chief—eaw the glorious flag of the stripes and stars fluttering over my head—when I first bowed before it with deep respect—when I saw around me the gallant officers and the crew of the Mississippi frigate—the most of them the worthiest representatives ef true American princtples, American greatness, American generosity—and to think that it was not a mere chance which cast the star-span_ gled banneraround me, but that it was your protecting will—to know that the United States of America, con- declared by this unparalleled act to be resolved to be- come the protectors of human rights—to see a powerful verrel of America, coming to far Asis, to break the chains by which the mightiest despots of Barope fettered the activity ofan exiled Magyar, whose very name disturbed the proud security of their aleep—to feel restored by such ‘& protection, and in such a way, to freedom, and by free- dom to activity, you may be well aware of what I have felt, and still feel, at the remembrance of this proud mo- free! You ected; and at this act of yours tyrants trem- bled; humanity shouted out with joy; the down trodden people of Magyare—the down trodden, but not broken, raised his head with resolution and with hope, and the brilliancy of your stars was greeted by Europe's oppressed mations as the morning star of rising liberty. Now, gentlemen, you must be aware how boundless the grati- tude must be which I feel for you. You have restored me to life—because, restored to activity; and should my life, by the blessings of the Almighty, still prove useful te my father-land and to humanity, it will be your merit—it will be ycur work. May you and your glorious country be blessed for it. Europe is on the very eve of euch immense events, that however fervent my gratitude be to you, I would not have felt suthorized to cross the Atlantic, at this very time, only for the purpose to exhibit to you my warm thanks. I would bave thanked you by faets contributing to the freedom of the Kuropean continent, and would have postponed my visit to your glorious shores till the decisive battie for liberty was fought—if it were my destiny to outlive that day. Then what is the motive of my being here at this very time? The motive, citizens, is that your generous act of my liberation has raised the conviction throughout the world that this grmerous act of yours is but the manifestation of your resolution to threw your weight into the bal- ance where the fate of the European continent is to be weighed. You have raised the oenviction throughout the world, that by my liberation you were willing tonay, “Ye oppreseed nations of old Burope’s coptinent, be of good cheer; the young giant of America stretches bis powerful arm over the waves, ready to give & brother « band to youm@mture.”’ Bo is your act inter- preted throughout the world. You, in your proud se. curity, can scarcely imagine bow beneficial this convic- thom bas already proved to the suffering nations of the European continent. You can scarcely imagine what reifconfidence you have added to the sesolution of the oppressed. You have knit the tie of solidarity in the destinies of nations, I cannot doubt that you Know how I was received by the public opinion in every country which I toughed since I am free, and what fesi- Ags my Liberation bas eilcited im those countries which ‘twas not my lot to touch, You know how I,e plain, peor, penniless exile, have eimost become a centre of hope and comidence to the wgost different nations, not united but by the tie of common sufferings. What is the source of this apparition unparalleled in mankind's bis tory’ ‘The souree of it is, that your gunerous act of my Wberation is taken by the world for the revelation of the Tact that the United States are resolved Bot te allow the denpots of the world te trample oppressed humenky It ts hemce that my liberation war cheered, from Sweden dow to Portugal, ass ray of hops. It is Bence that even theee nations which most destre my presenoe in Europe now, have unanimously thd me, “Hasten on, hasten on to the great, free, rich 04 powerful peopte of the United Btates, and bring over jt brotherly sid¥o the cause of your country, #0 iati- mately connected with European liberty; and here rand to plead th» cause of the solidarity of human rights ‘wefore the great republic of the United States, Hambic ~ Lom, God, the Almighty, bas selected me © tepresent the cause ot bumenity befere you My warrant to this capacity i written in the sympa- ‘by e064 co@f denew of a who are appressed, and of all whe a your cider brother the peophe of Briteim, sympa- ice with the oppresseé—my warrent to this capacity is FMtlen im Che hopes aad expectations you have emtitied che World to entertain, by liberating me out of my pris. om nd by restoring me to activity § But it bee pleased be Ame bly & make oul of my bumbie self yet another peeriamhy fore (hime which may prove e heppy turn.

But as to Mr. Hulsomenn, really I don’t be- Meve that he would be sd teady to jbave Washington. He has extremely well digested (by qaustic pills which Mr Webster has administered to him eo gloriously ; but after all Iknow enongh of the public spirit of the sovereign peo- ple of the United States,that it would never admit to what- bon voyage to him. But it isaleo my agreeable duty to pro- fess that I am entirely comvineed that the government of the United Btates shares warmly the sentiments of the people in that respect. It has proved it by executing in aready and dignified manner the resolution of Con- gress on behalf of my liberation. It has proved is by calling on the Congress to consider how I shall be treated and received, amd even this morning I was honored, by the express order of the government, by an official salute from the batteries of the United States, in sueh a manner in which, according to the mi- \itary rules, only » public, high official capacity can be greeted. Having thus expounded my aim, I beg leave to state that I came not to your glorious shores to enjoy a happy rest—I came not with the intention to gather triumphs of personal distinction, but because # humble petitioner, fm my country’s mame, as its freely chosen constitutional chief, humbly to entreat your gemerous aid; and then it is to the aim that I will devote every moment of my time with the more assiduity, the more restlessness,as every me- ment may bring s report of events which may call me to hasten to my place on the battle field, where the great, and I hove the last battle will be fought between Likerty and Despotism. A moment marked by the finger of God to be 80 near that every hour of delay of your generous aid may prove fatally disastrous to oppressed humanity, and thus having stated my posi- tion to be that of a humble petitioner in the name of my oppressed country, let me respectfully ask, do you not regret to have Lestowed upon me the high honor of this glorious reception, unparalleled in hiStory? I say un- paralleled in history tho¥<h 4Kn0# your fathers have welcomed Latayette ina simiar way but Lafay- ette had mighty claims to your country’s gratitude ;— he had fought in your ranks for your freedom and inde- pendence, and what still was more, in the hour of your peed. He was the link of your friendly connection with France—-a connection, the result of which were two French fleets of more then thirty light men of war, three thousand gallant men. who fought side by side with you against Cornwal- lis, before Yorktown; the precious gift of twenty-four thc ueand muskets, a loan of mineteen millions of doliars, apd even the preliminary treaties of your glorious peace, ‘megotiated at Paris by your immortal Franklin. I hope the people of the United Btates, mow itself in the happy condition to aid those who are in need of aid, as iteelf was once in need, will kindly remember these facts; and you, citizens of New York, and you will yourselves become the Lafayettes of Hungary. Lafayette had great claims to your love sndeympathy, but I have none. I cameo bumble petitioner with mo other claims than those which the oppressed have to the sympathy of free men, who have the power to help; with the claim which the un- fortunate bas to the happy; and the downtrodden has to the protection of etermal justice and of human | rights. Ine word, I have mo other claims than | thore which the oppressed principle of freedom has wothe aid of victorious Liberty. Then I would humbly ask, are these claims sufficient to ensure your geDerous protectors, not to myself, but to the cause of my native land—not to my native land only, but to the Principle of freedom in Europe s continent, of which the Independence of Hungary is the indispensable key-stone. Tf you consider these claims not rufficient to your ac- tive and operative sympathy, them let me Know at once that the hopes have failed with which Europe's oppressed mations have loeked to your great, mighty and _ glorious repeblic—iet me know at once the fail. | ure of our hopes, thet I may hasten beck | ‘and tell Europe's oppressed nations, “Let us fight, for- | eaken and single-handed, the battle of Leonidas; let us trust to God, to our right. and to our good sword ; there is @0 other help for the oppressed nations on earth.’ But if your generous republican hearts are animated by | the high principle of freedom and of the solidarityin | the destinies of humanity—if you have the wili, as, | to be eure, you have the power, te support the eause of freedom again! the sacrilizious league of des- petiam, then give me some days of calm refiection, | te become sequainted with the ground upon which I Mend—let me take the kind advice of some active friends on the most practical course I have to adopt— <0 ane 600 Se eee SO tae ENEOneny Gane SN | im favor of that cause which I beve the bonor | to represent, end then et me bave « new opportunity te expound before you my humbie requests 1 speet met im an Fofficil character. imparted OF Liplemacy whowe secrecy le tbe curse of the world wet | am (he harbinger of the pet lie apirtt of the people with bes Che right Co umpart « direction to tte govern.

The military display was the finest ever seen in this city. It was admitted on all sides that the appearance Of the seldicrs, as Kossuth said, “ was not only beautiful, but perfect.’ Too much praise cannot be awarded to Acting Adjuent General Wetmore (Divison Inspector), for the complete arrangements for this truly magnificent parade. New York has reason to feel proud of her sol- diers. Kossuth expressed his admiration in the highest terms, When the procession reached the American Museum,’ the scene was in the highest degree imposing and mag- nificent. Never before was its equal witnessed in this city. 1¢ was such o scene as New York alone in the New World, and but few cities in the eid, could pro- duce. It will be long remembered by those who had the delight of witnessing it. On reaching that point, the open space of the Park burst upon the view. In front was our beautiful Broadway, straight as an arrow, with thousands of variously colored flags suspended from, and wreathes of evergreens decorating, the hotels and store-buildings. In the distance stood the graceful spire of Grace Church, in its calm dignity and architectaral grace. | On the right, “Patt Row ind Chatham street preeénted slong avenue of fine buildings, likewise decorated ins. magnificent style, with the Btars-and Stripes, the cross of Bt. George, and the Hungarian’ flag, entwined in hap- py harmony. Op the left was the massive Astor House, every window of which was filled with admirers of the great hero, of both sexes. While the eye was taking in these, it was arrested by the Park itself, with its thou- sands of human beings, and the Oity Hall, which never presented « more beautiful appearance than it did on Baturday , when ornamented with flags, and its portice festooned with drapery, and seen “through the trees. The coupd’eit thus presented was extremely grand and imposing. Kossuth was evidently amazed. It was more than he expected, and {as he calmly viewed the scene, he was startled by a shout of weloome from the Astor House, which weuld have startled a less nervous person. He looked up and raw every gentleman in the windows and on the porch of that hotel huzzaing and waving his hat ina perfect phrenzy of enthusiasm, the ladies saluting bim with equal fervor. Kossuth was taken by surprise. He] gracefully bowed, not once, but twice, thrice, dozem times. But the scene did not end here. The pro- cession was temporarily arrested by the immense crowd. Again loud huzzas were expressed for Kossuth by thirty thousand persons of all classes, ages, and sexes. The Hungarian exiles who followed immediately after Kos- suth’s carriage, came in for their share of applause ; they, too. were cheered frantically. They returned the compliment. They waived their Hungarian banner in recognition. Again, thirty thousand voices were raised in honor of the great Magyar, and again the Magyar flag was lowered. Again were shouts of applause, and the Hungarian exiles, not satisfied with lowering their flags this time, actually danced with excitement, and cheered as loud as the rest. It is impossible to do justice to this scene ; but those who witneseed it will remember it as long as they live, and describe it to their children in after years, when Kossuth himself, in the gubernato rial chair of Hungary, and the house of Hapsburg in exile or in their graves, may be reciting it to the mem- bers of his democratic government. One of the chief attractions in the procession, may be mentioned, the horse which was ridden by the late General Taylor, at the battles of Resace dela Palma, Palo Alto, Buena Vista; and in other engagements, known by the name of “Old Whitey.” He was harnessed to a light wagon, and decorated with rosetts and « rich velvet cloth, edged with silver, bearing the initials ?. E.J., those of the present owner The old charger looked well, and seemed nearly as spirited as when he bore the hero of Buena Viste through the dangers of the battle field. During the progress of the procession through Bread- way, the excitement of the people was most imtense. ‘There were not less than two hundred thousand persons in the streets. Bince the public reception of La Fay. ette. such enthusiasm haa not been witnessed in New York. When the carriage, in which Kossuth was seated, was obliged to stop fora few moments, in consequence of some interruption in tne progress of the Procession, nothing could surpass the seene of enthusiasm present- ed. Ladies thronged the windows of the storesand pub- lic buildings—then such waving ¢f handkerchiefs—such waving of hate, the scene beffies description. As Kos suth’s carriage was passing Bull's store, e young lady Gressed in white, wearing Hungarian scarf, holding a wreath of roses, with— Jee SONNE Cn omEL eR CRnmenRneERCCeTOROES 3 WELCOME KOSSUTH. 3 J ccgteee aseemmn ee Heceneeerreesoeseees imecribed in gilt letters, presented a basket of splendid fruit to Kossuth, who received it with great pleasure: On presenting the fruit, the young lady said :-— Stork omens, Rut reese of down-trodden Kossuth replied; but we were not near enough to hear what hesaid. He, however, caught her in his arms, and imprinting a kiss upon the fair brow of the maiden. placed the gift upon the seat beside him, and the carriage moved on. Various other incidents ofa similar character occurred during the progress of the processicn. THE DECORATIONS OF BROADWAY. Wroadway presented a superb appearance. At the entrance to the Battery a beautiful arch was erected, decorated with the Hungarian tri-color, intertwin- ed with the stars and stripes. The arch was sur- mounted by the American eagle between the Hungarian and American “ags; behind this was the cap of liberty, end from the centre was gracefully draped the red, white and green. On pedestals. on each side of the arch, were busts of Washington and Lafayette, and the whole was very beautiful and effective ‘The Washington Hotel, opposite the Bowling Green, isplayed the flog of Hungary and thet of the United States, The store No. 3 Broadway war decorated in « similar manmer, as also the brown stone buildings oppo- nite the United States Bonded Warehouse At the sum- mit of this building the dage of Hungary and America were fying.
