Kossuth, accompanied by his suite, was presented to ‘the President to-day, at noon, at the White House, by Mr. Webster, ‘The interview was strictly private. General Shields ‘end Mr. Seward were preseat, and Messrs. Hall, Graham, ‘and Conrad, of the cabinet. ‘The interview lasted about twenty minutes. It took ‘Place in the circular room. Kossuth came out first, and remained ‘alone in the hall for some minutes. He looked very grave, and appa- rently somewhat disappointed, After he was seated in his carriage, Mr. Webster joined him, and they drove away together. ‘The other members of the cabinet remained to attend | hy @ cabinet meeting. : ‘The President will give Kossuth a dinner on Satur- ay next. Thirty six covers are ordered. The Sec- } etaries. with their ladies, in all twelve—three of them felonging tothe President's family—the committees of the Senate and House, the President of the Senate, and ®peaker of the House, together with Kossuth and his suite, will make up the number within three or four, and ‘who they are tobe has not yet transpired. Probably 7 Mr. Corcoran will also be invited. Personally the President is desirous of showing every ‘attention to Kossuth; but, officially, be will be, of course, governed strictly by the proceedings of Congress. . ‘The reception of the diplomatic corps is to take place ‘an hour carlier than usual to-morrow. Some assert that this arrangement has been made so as to avoid any unpleasant collision between the despots of the Old RVorld and the Apostle uf Liberty. Perhaps. X. ¥. Z. FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT, ‘Wasnixaton, Dec. 31, 1851, ‘Whe members of the cabinet and Congress were pre- pented this morning to Kossuth, in his private reception ‘ thom. At twelve o'clock, Kossuth and his suite went to the President's, in company with Messrs, Webster, Shields, and Seward, and were duly presented to Mr. Fillmore. ‘Whe interview was confined to the parties above named. All reporters were refused admittance. Every member of Kossuth’s suite was excluded from Ahis interview with the President, ‘The President and Cabinet, and Messrs. Shields and Seward, were present. Mr. Cass did not go. The pro- seecdings at the interview are strictly confidential, d After returning, Kossuth called on Mr. Cass. 4 Immediately after the adjournment of the House this r evening, the subscribers to the Kossuth Banquet were called to order—Mr. Clingman in the Chair, and Mr. Stan- ‘ton, of Ohio, Becretary. On the motion of Mr. Stanton, of Tenn., the Chair was suthorized to 2ppoint a committee to confer with a com- mittee to be appointed vy the Senate, to make the ne- cessary arrangements. ... The following gentlemen were appointed:--Messrs, “Brigs, chairman, Stanton, (Tenn.,) Robinson, Cartter, Stanton, (Ky .) Bissell, Walsh, Florence, Porter Mager- eoll, Setcher, Peaslee, Wabors, Davis, (Mass,) and Doty. A committeeffrom Columbus, Ohio, invited Kossuth, o-day, to visit that city. He replied that he should tay here about a week, and would let them know in a ‘ew days whether he would go, and when. The acoounts received here fromthe West, are very Gattering. Kossuth received, to-day, the calls of many public \ men. A fine sorenade was given to Kossuth at eleven o'clock last night. He came out, and briefly returned thanks, THIRTY-SECOND CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. House of Representatives, Wasuincron, Dec, 30, 1851, CONTINUATION OF THE DEBATE ON THE RESOLUTION FOR A COMMITTRE TO INTRODCUCE KoSBUTHY ‘Two amendments to the resolution were proposed, one of which was for the Bpeaker to wait upon Kossuth, and give him a cordial welcome, and introduce him to the House, and another to alter the seventh rule s0 as to ad- mit Kostuth to the floor of the House, among the privi- Jeged persons already provided for—both of which were rejected. Mr. Vewance offered an amendmont, that the Speaker be aythorized to invite Louis Kossuth to a seat within the barof the House; and in its support he warmly ex- pressed his dissent to such interventionas that proposed by Kossuth. Every man who has read Kossuth’s speeches must be satisfied that if we assent to his princi- ples, there can be no stopping place. We should have to take upon ourselves the task of redressing the wrongs of Poland, Hangary, and every other nation which is down-tredden by the irom heel of despotism. When Koeeuth eaid non-intervention, he meant war in case { Russia should not respect our declaration. He (Mz. v ) wax not prepared to involve his ina war. While he fel: for Hungary, as well other nation under the foot of derpotism, and strug- gling for its proper position among the nations of the earth, he held to the policy that we may sympathize ag Individuals, but not manifest the sympathathy of the government He rejoiced that he stood with the forty- seven who refused to congratulate the mushroom repud- cof France, All people who are entitled to liberty have it, and those who have not, are like the prodigal, who Would not accept it. As @ statesman and rep! Bentative of the people, he could not consent to impli- cate this goverment in foreign quarrels, Mr. Cartren hoped that the commi'tee would not enter Joto the discussion ofmatters collateral to the resolution ‘When he introduced the resolution (he maid) he did it merely we a peaceful act of courtesy already made neces. eary by tho previous action of this House and the nation It was not for the purpose of bringing on this floor any elemert of discussion eutside, but to extricate this body from any position which tts previous action had made 4 meceseary.

He was desirous of payi to Kossuth the compliment of admiration and respect, and was desirous that the House should doit He had no idea of involving this nation in war—none in the least. Mr. Ricuanpsow eould not see any difference between the amendments now pendiug. Neither of thempledged the House taparthing: For that reason he was willing to vote for either of them. He was unwilling to go any further. He concurred in the nt thut we should not commit this country in a with any psople. If our country must be involved in‘War, it should be on our ownacconnt, He repeated, he was willing ‘tagextena hos- pitalities to Ki: , but not to Kossuth’s policy Mr. Bavy, of Va., did not regard the resolution as committing this government to doctrine which Kos- suth propagates. If he so regardad it, it woujd receive from him ‘all the condemnation which he was capable of giving it. If this gevernment should connect itself with the principles proposed, it would commit usto a policy which would destroy our own liberty in a short period of time, He then proceeded to speak of Kosciusko, who had battled for our liberties, and wh) did not receive from us honors similar to thos¢ now designed for Kos- suth, giving to the former a higher claim to our reapect. But he would not contiast Kosciusko with Kossuth, be- cause of his respect for the dead. He wished to say that, from an intimate asdociation with members of the two houses, he #id not believe there were twenty mem- bers prepared to sanction the dootrines of Kovsuth, with regard tointervention If so, those who are carried away bythe enthusiasm running through the land should pause, 8s he did not believe nineteen-twentieths ofthe people approved of the doctrine, If he could have his own way, there should be a distinct understand. ing, and Kossuth told in hee day not to be mistaken, that this government hes no ides of involving their country in the policy which he propogates. Mr. Mansa, of Ky., alluded to the remarks that the resolution was not designed to open the hall fer an ha- rangue; but he had seen it stated in the papers that Kossuth had retireduto prepare s speech for delivery before Congress. He did not see how the man could look at that portrait of Washington, aud then listen to the doctrines which Kossuth ayows without abhorrence. flave we fallen so low as this, as to extend tohim a com- pliment never before bestowed on apy except our ally, / Latayette?

But this ‘wat not the occasion to go into the history of the ua- garian war. The time for speaking had gone—the tims for action has arrived ‘This individual is in our coua- try—he is at our doors. Shall we wound him in the house of his friends? In giving his vote he wished to be understood as being opposed, in common with other gentlemen. to interference with the affairs of Europy, for he had viewed with alarm the men who surround Kos- south; end if we commenced interference with foreign Btates, the ground will afterwards be claimed to interfere with the affsirs of ourewn country. He placed himself on the platform of non-intervention. Dut it seemed that goed faith, to say nothing of humanity, requires the pusrage of the resolution. Mr. Gentry, while he was opposed to interfering in the aflairs of foreign nations, was in favor cf extending suitable respect to Kossuth He would not, however, admit that we were afraid. A ship was sent for him, andhe is here, regarding bimelf, in som» sort, as the nation’s guest. Get Kostuth speak a3 much’ as he pleates, He was willing that Kossuth should addcess the people in every Congreesional district, and if, after that, the people should depart from our uniform line of policy, and thereby overturn their government, 1t would argue that our institutions were based on ® false foun. dation. Kessuth may have the rabble of New Y:rk, and unprincipled demagogues, with their huzzas, at’ bis heels, and who may say they are ready to do anything; but these people never did anything of value, and never would. However, let Kossuth speak. Who's afraid? (Lavghter.) Ifyou have surplus funds, fork over. We are rich and liberal, aud can afford such depletion. He regarded this as 8 question of civility aad courtesy, which involved nothing beyond that Tuere ought t9 have been no debate or argument about it Mr. Sternexs of Ga, replied to some portions of Mr, Gentry’s speeen, and said that Korsuth wanted armed intervention, If we extend the privilegs of the floor to Kosruth, it will be to some extent an evidence of the sp- probation of the principle. What have we seen hore to- day? (he asked), An American Congress, sworn to tupport. the constitution, riding over the rules made in accordance with that iastrumeat. Oas of the rules declares that no person shell be privi- leged to enter this hall, except such as ave designated, Another provides that one day’s nctice shall be given to change this rule. But the rules were over-ridden to day. Poor defenders of liberty, when you have made a mek- ery of our own. He made an earnest appeal to stand by the constitution and the supremacy of the laws, As to Koseuth, we offered bim a shelter in our extensive do maip, purrued and hunted down as he was. We bade him weleome as an exile, but not ass propagandist, H» repudiates the idea of an exile, and asks us to change the policy of this government. As Americans, we must mect the ierue He was, prepared for it, | Kosvuth is a resi man, if he carries his measures; but it is time that should have his delusion as to the action of this coua- try removed, Mr. Gevrny briefly replied as to the violation of rates, and eaid, im enbstance, that the thunders of his friend (Mr Stephens) should bave been heard oa previous oc- casions.

Mr. Nanos (dem.), of Miss., warmly advocated the resolution, Mr. Dean (dem), of N.

It was, indeed, atreat. The programme presented a bouquet of the most delicious of the melodies sung by the great vocalist, which came over the audience like the sweet south wind that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odor. She never, ;erhaps, sung them so well before— whether it was, that in a day concert her organ ismore fresh and powerful than‘at night, or that the animating effect of the presence of s0 many innocent little children enkin:!ed unusual enthusiasm in her mind, certain it is that never did her peculiar qualities shine forth more vividly, The songs, which were highly finished and artistic. were full of the warmth of a gush- ing heart. anc while her sympathetic tones expressed the yarieus ecntiments contained in the words, they awe! jn the breasts of the Listeners corraspondiag emcijstia; and this isthe ver And as the mind is pit Ye" Ww 1 ~ nits. rt Bom A: wae : Is tot moin ys, and @ With one exception, her cove Footed ballada She sung tix 2 + jows:--“Quanto Amore,” ( + Lost Rose of Summer,” «Au Riv Bounle Lassie.” * Home, 8weet ir m» rie." There was no orchestra, ay seem to be felt There was some d in consequence of the key of the pia itwas necessary to get the lock p' During this time the little children manifested the greatest impa- tience, and a continued buzz ran through the hall. When the piano was opened, they gave'a loud cheer. ‘The performance commenced by Braham singing, “ Oft in the Stilly Night,” which he did exceedingly well. The children applauded and encored, while some exer- cised their right to hiss, being no doubt anxious for the appearance of the great star of attraction, ‘The first sopg in which Miss Hayes appeared was the duet from ‘ L’Elisir d’Amore’? Her exeoution was brilliant beyond deecription, and the children seemed as if spell-bound, But the funny faces made by Herr Mengis, and the comic way in which he sung his part in the duet, turned the sentimental iato the ludicrous, and they burst into one roar of laughter after another, till he left the stage. In his other songs his humorous manner produced similar effects, The children were delighted beyond measure, They encored every thing, aud when the vocalist did not appear immediately in response to their call, the boys whistled and made such other noises as they calculated would be effectual. On the whole, the little creatures conducted themselves well, and their bappy faces were a study for every benevolent mind. A mest affecting incident occurred near the close, Just when Miss Hayes had taken her piace on the etage to sing ‘Sweet Home,” n fine little girl stole syer to her side unobserved, and presented her with a Douquet, with so innocent a voice and look, that, together with the nature of the song she was sbout te sing, completely overpowered ker with emo. tion. She tried twice to sing the ballad, and failed, and then said something to Mr. Lavenu, the conductor, not heard by the audience, but which they suppored was a direction tohim about the secom Peniment. Her utterance was choked, and at length she was compelled to leave the stage by her feelings, and only returned afterfong continue? ayplaus, Mr Lavenu meantime ennouncing the cause of the failure. She then eurg “Home” with such exquisite fecling and bo heg us it was never perhaps rendered, even by herself, fore.
