Wasinxaton, Jan, 7, 1852, Despatches Lave been received from our Minister at London, covering his correspondence with Lord Palmers- ‘ton upon the eubject of the outrage upon the American steamer Promethous, by being fired into by the British brig-of-war Express. Lord Palmerston disavows the con- rduct of the captain of the Express, and gives such assur- ance of the feeling of his government as to apparently ‘preclude the possibility of any misunderstanding arising ‘between the two countries. It ia alsounderstood that Lord Palmerston will at once @ive practical «fect to the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, by withdrawing from the Mosquito protectorate, Information has also been received, which gives assur- vance that Mr. Thrasher will be speedily liberated. Mr. Rives, our Minister to France, has been instructed to recognise the authority of Leuis Napoleon. Common sense On the part of Mr. Rives would have rendered it un- mecersary to have thus specially instructed him. He should bave known that this government will make no ireue as to who is entitled to govern France, but will be ready to recognise any one who, for the time being, may hold the reins. ‘The asrembly last night was somewhat of a failure, in consequence of the absence of the diplomatic corps and their families.

The memorial upon the table, pre- sented for the consideration of the Senate, affects nothing less than the whole foundation of our naval structare— ‘the human material by which your ships are worked and fought--your guns levelled, and their thunders pointed at your foes.

What is the answer given by all those who sock torestore this relic of barbarism to the navy? Why, they tell us, we intend only to apply this system of pun- irbmeat to seamen.

I have encamped with him on the California mountains—I have seen the rays of the morning pley on his carbine and boarding pike. I have seen b m merch one hundred and fifty miles through the evemy’s country, on mountains and through rivers.

American sailors, as a class, have loved their country as well,and have done more for her ip peace aud war, than any other equal number of citizens. Passing by, for a moment, their antecedent glerious achievements, let me remind you that he has recently gained for his country an empire, which has ad- ded to bis countzy’s renown and greatness, and, ‘perhaps, saved bis fellow citizens from universal bankrutey an ruin; and what hes his country done for hin? When the fighting was over—the baitles won- the conquests achieved—you sent a band of Mormons to Califor. nia to drive him to his ship and rob him of his glory. You refused to give him bounty lands which you gave to the soldier, his comrade fighting by his fide, You have neglected to give him even your thanks, and, more, to cap the climax of his country’s ingrati- tude, there memorialists would have him seourged. ‘They would scourge him for drunkenness, when they ut the bottle to his mouth. They would scourge im for inattention to his duty, when injuszice and wrong have made him, fcr an instant, discontented and sullen. Shame! Shame!

ButTocdre very little fur the details for this ar- gument, and will not detain the Senate any longer in relation to them There is one broad proposition upon which I stand.

With what propriety such an appeal is made by the citizens of « free government to the institutions of a monarchy, let others etermine. But, sir, Tam not aware that the British Parliament has ever, by statute. expressly authorized the use of the larch. ‘There is no doubt that it is used in the navy of Great Britain, apd bas been used since the restoration of the monarchy, under the Stuarts. He then examined the British legislation on the sudject, contend- ing that it was never expressly sanctioned by statute, as it had been in this country. After other remarks, he said, one word more and I have done. We hear a good deal of the delipquencies of sailors, There are delin. quencies of officers as well as sailors, who ought not to be there. If you desire to prepare the navy for the exigencies of war, if you desire to pre- serve your ancient renown as @ naval power, you must, in my judgment, sbplish the lash, and adopt a system of rewards and punishments in its stead, You must abolish the liquor ration. You must alter the whole system of the recruiting service. In one word you must purge the navy of all its foul stuff—-in high places as well as in low places—and you must lay broad and deep the foundation of your naval greatness in the character of the common sailor. The bone and sincw cf the navy is the common sailor, You require the commanding intellect of scientific officers to direct them, and you require good ships, but. after all, the common tailor is the working power which enables the captain and the ship to gain laurels—for the sailor works and toils, and fights the abip, and, in proportion, as he is tuperior or inferlor, will be the success of the captain and the ship. Sir, in all the best traits of character which distin- guish sailors, no nation excela the United States. The Ame- rican sailor is bold, intelligent, hardy, enterprising, and in nautical skill unsurpassed. He shrinks from no danger, He dreads no foe, and yields tono superior. No shoals are too dangerous, no seas too boisterous, no climate too rigorous for him. The burning sun of the tropics cannot. make him effeminate, nor can the eternal winter of the polar seas paralyze his energy. Foster, cherish, develope these characteristics by a generous and paternal govern- ment. Excite his emulation and stimulate his ambition by rewarda; but, above all, save him, save him from the brutalizing lash. Inspire him with love and confidence jor your service, and then there is no achievement so arduous—no conflict 80 desperate, in which his actions will not shed glory upon his country; and when the final sti uggle comes, a8 soon it will come, for the empire of the seag, you may rest assured, with entire confidence, that the victory will be yours. I move you sir, that it is in- expedient to grant the prayer of the petitioners. Mr. Banarr, (whig,) of N. C., was somewhat surprised et the sentiments expressed by the Senator from New Jersey, and, as a member of the Naval Committee, desired to express his views, which were very differert from thore of Senater Stockton. What was the subject be- fore the Senate? Was it that we are called upon to ap- iy the Jash to sailors, till the flesh is scourged from their cke and till the bleod runs down to their heels? Not to. It was to restore the discipline of the navy to what it bad been since the days of Washington. The Senator sald he would be glad to see the metiorial not only on the table, but trampled under foot He hoped the Sona- tor did not desire those who differed from him to be reated in the ssme way. The Senator argued that the lnsh made a man regardiees of self-respect, and yot, in therame breath, speaks of the glories of the sailors, and oftheir bigh renown gained during the last war. Was not ficgglng part of the discipline then? ‘The Senator refuted his own position, Mr. Badger took up several other positions assumed by Mr. Stockton. and contended thathe had,in his own arguments, refuted them. He argued, ee his own opinion, that the lash ought to form @ pert of the naval discipline; but it had been repesled, and as he was not for hasty changes, he was for leaving the matter as it was. till time had tested whether it was necessary or not. Mr. Stockton thought the Senator had not treated his argument with proper respect, and said he did not expect ridicule, He asked not more than that Ame- rican sailors should be treated as citizenr. Now, was udlican . American citizen punished with the lash? Mr. Bar ex--Certainly. \d. Delaware. Mr Brockton enid the laws of thone States might allow it, but wuld the Benator vote for @ law inflicting the punirhment of the lash on American citizens generally ? Mr. Banoxn said he would be very sorry to vote for any law to flog all the people of the United States. The Senators might be included as citizens. Mr. Stockton raid he kaw no reason why Senstors, end all others who were paid out of the treasury, should not be flogged as well as the sailors.

I rise in their bebslf, as well as my own, t tender tothe company our thanks for the manner in which the rentiment has been received by the meeting bere assembled, and to assure you, sir, and all present, that in kindness and good wishes towards the guest of the secasion, and in attachment to the great principles of political liberty (applause) and national indepen- dence, (applause) there is no man who partakes ina higher degree than the President of the United States in the general feelings of this vast community, (Applause ) The sceond toast was, “The Judiciary of the United Btates—The expounders of the Constitution and the bulwark of Liberty, regulated by Jaw.”” Judge Wayne, of the Supreme Court, responded, sim- ply returning thanks forthe compliment, and giving the following sentiment: “ Constitutional Liberty to all Nations of the Earth—Supported by Christian faith and the morality of the Bible.”” ‘Third tcast was: “The Navy of the United States— The Home fquadron everywhere --The glory which made it eo was illustrated when its flag in a foreign sea gave liberty and protection to the Hungarian chief.” (Great applause ) Mr. Stanton of Tennessee briefly responded. Our Navy was not only the principal detence of liberty, but when needed could strike a blow for liberty. (Applause.) ‘The fourth toast was—* The Army of the United States —In saluting the illustrious exile with magnanimous ccurtesey as high as it oduld pay to any power on earth, it has added grace to the glory of its history ” Gen. trixcp responded. —He regretted that the illus- trious chief of the army was.not here to respond, but in the pame of the army he. returned thanks for the toast and the enthusiasm with which it had been reocived. ‘The urmy was worthy of the toart, having brought us safely through three wars. The voice of the canuonin saluting him, was the voice of twenty-five millions of free- men, (Applause,) It was not a salute to Kowuth ey but to the great prinolpls he advocated of na- ticnality and buman liberty. (Applaue) Agan Irish- men by birth, an American by adoption, ke would feel himself a traitor to both countries if he did not sustain down trodden nationality everywhere. (Applause ) The army that had maintained itself in three wars against the mest powerful nations in the world, would. if the trying time came again. maintuin the same flag—the feme trlomph, the same victories in the cause of liberty. Apple Mir. KinG, in giving the next toast, said it was one to which every generous American would cordially respond. He, in common with otbers, while the Hungarian strug- Je was going on, rejoiced in her success, and mourned jer temporary defeats, We honored those who strug- gird, and were prepared to racrifice all to obtain liberty. we followed our illustrious guest in his mournful exile, were the first to call on him to return, and were the las that were ready to reccive him with open arms to ths ta of liberty and of horpitality. The toast I give you is thi io! Bowery represented in the person of our honore guctt—Having proved herself worthy to be free byth virture and valor of her sons, the law of nations. an ' the dictates of justice. alike demand that she shall hav fair play ip her xtroggle for independence.” (Enthu siastlo cheering ) KOSSUTH’S SPEECH. To the above toast Kossuth responded as rollows:— fin—As once Cyners, the Epirote, stood among the Senators of Rome, who, with an earnest word of self conecious mojesty, controlled the condition of the werld, ad atrested mighty kings in their ambitious march, thus, full of admiration am! of reverence, I stand Defore you, Legislature of the new canitol--that glorious ball of your peopie’s collective majesty The capitol of old yet stands, but the spirit has departed from it and cme over to youre, purified by the air of liberty. The cid stands, a mournful monument of the fragility of hu- man things—yours asa sanctuary of eterual rights. The old, beamed with the red lustre of conquest, now darken ed by oppression’s gloomy night—yours beams with free- dcim’s bright ray. The cid absorbed the world by its own centralized glory—yours protects your own nation ngeinst absorption even by itself. The old was awful with irrestricted power—yours is glorioug with having restricted it. At the view of the old, nations trembled— ‘at the view of yours, humanity hopes. To the old misfor- tune was only introduced with fettered hands to kneel at the triumpbant conqueror’s heels--to yours, the triumph of In’ reduction is granted to unfortunate exiles, invited to the benor ofa seat, and where Kings and Cireurs never are Lailed for their powers, might, and wealth, there the perrecuted chief of @ down trodden nation is welcomed se ycur great Republic's guest, precisely because he is persrouted, helpless, and poor In the old, the terrible yevictis was the rule--in yours, protection to the oppress- +4, maleciction to ambitions oppressors, and consolation to the venquirbed in s just cause. And while out of the old a conquered world wos reled, you in yours provide fcr the ccmmon confederative interests of a territory lercer than the ecnquered world of the old. ‘There sat men bcasting their will to be the sovereiga of the world - here cit men whose glory is to acknowledge the Jawa’ cf eature and of nature's God, and to do whet their eovereign, the people, wiils.

There is a sort of natural instinct of human dignity in the heart of man, which steels his very nerves not to bend beneath the heavy blows of a great adversity. The palm tree grows best beneath a ponderous weight--.even #0 the cbaracter of man. There is no merit in it-.-it is a law of peychology. The petty pangs of small daily cares have often bent the character of men, but ‘misfortunes reldem. There is lees danger in this than in greatluck; und as to ambition, I indeed never was able to under- stand how anybody can more love ambition than liber- be But I am glad tostate @ historical fact as a prin- cipal demonstration of that influence whieh ins tutions exercise up¢n the character of nations. We Hungarians are very fond of the principle of municipal self-government, and wo have » natural horror against the principle of centralization, That fund attachment to municipal self-government with- out which there is no provincial freedom possibie, is @ fundamental feature of our national character. We brought it with us from far Asia,a thousand yearsago,and we considered it throughout the vicissitudes of ten cen- turies. No nation has, perhaps, so much struggled and sufferea trom the civilized Christian world as we. We do not complain of thialot. It may be heavy, but it is not inglorlous Where the cradle of our Saviour stood, and Where his divine doctrine was founded, there another faith now ruler, and the whole of Europe's armed pilgrimage could not avert this fate from that facred epot, vcr etop the rushing waves of Islamism ab- serbing the Christian empire of Constantine. We stopped these rushing waves, ‘The breast of my mation proved a breakwater to them. We guarded Christendom, that Luthers or Calvins might reform it, It was a dangerous time, acd the dangers of the time often placed the confidence of all my nation into one man’s hand, and their confidence gave power into his hands to become ambitious Put there was not a singla instance in history where a man honored by bis people's con- fidence bad ce ed his people by becoming ambi- tious. The m out of whom Rusvian diplomacy sacceeded in ing the murderer of his nation’s confidence—he never had it. but was rather regarded always with distrust. But he gained some viotories, when victories were the moment's chief necessity. At the bead of an army,circumstances placed him in tho capacity to ruin bis country. But he never bad the people's confidence, 80, even be is no contradiction to the historical truth that no Hungarian whom bis nation honored with ite confidence was ever seduced by ambi- tion to become dangerous to hiscountry’s liberty, That is aremarkable fact, and yet it is not accidental. [tis the Icgical consequence of the influence of institutions upon the national character. Our nation, through all its history, was educated in the school of muntsipal self government; and in such‘a country, ambiion having no field, bas also no place in man’s character, The truth of this doctrine becomes yet more illus. trated by a quite contrary historical fact in France, Whatever have been the changes of goveramont in that great country, and many they have been, to be sure--we bave seen a convention, a directorate of con- tuls, and one consul, and an emperor. and the restora- tion--was the fundamental tone of the institutions of France, Power always centralized; omnipotence always vested somewhere. and remarkably. tpdved, France has never yet raised the single map to the seat of power who bas not eacrificed his country’s freedom to his personal ambition. It is sorrowful, indeed; but it is matural. It is in the garden of centralization where the venomous plant of ambition thrives. 1 dare confidently affirm that ip your great country there exists not asingle man throvgh whose brains has ever passed the though thnt he would with to raise the seat of his ambition upon the ruins of yourcountry’s liberty, If he could, such a with ia impossible in the United States. Institutions react upon the character of nations He who sows the wind will reap the ttorm. History is the revelation of Provi- dence ‘The Almighty rules by eternal fawa, not only the material but the moral world, and law is a princh ple, and every principle ira law. Men are exdcwed with free will to choosea once choren the consequence must be abided With self: governnent is freedom, and with freedom are justice and patriotism With centralization is ambition, and with ambition dwells despotism Happy your great country, rir, for being so warmly addicted to that great principle of self-government. Upon this foundation your fathers raired a home to freedom. more glorious than the world bas-ever seen. Upon this foundation a have di veloped it to @ living wonder of the world Happy. yo great country, sir, that it was relected, by the blessing of the Lord, to prove the glorious practicability of a tedera- tive Union of many rovertign Btates all conserving their State rights and their relf-government, and yet united in cre—every star beaming with its own lustre but all togetter one constellation on mankind's canopy. Upon this foundation your free country has grown to a prodi- gious power in surprisingly brief period You have attracted power in that. Your fuudamental principles have conquered more in seventy-five years than Rome, by arms.in centuries. Your principles will conquer the world. By the glorious example of your freedom, welfare apd security, mankind is about to become conscious of its aim, ‘Tbe lesson you give to humanity will not be lost, and the respect of the Btate rights in ths federal government of America and in ite several States, will become an instructive example for universa! tole ration, forbearance, aud justice, to the future Btates and Republics of Europe. Upon this basis will be got rid of the mysterious question of language, and nationalities raised by the cunning despotiams in Europe to murder liberty, amd the smgller States will find eecucity in bey! proper of federative union, while they will conserve their national freedom by the princi- ples of sovereign eelf government; end while larger States, abdicatirg the principle of centralization, will cease to be @ bloodseld to sanguinary usurpation anda tool to the embition of wicked men, municipal institutions will insure the developement of local. partienler elements, Freedom, formerly an abstract political theory, will be. come the bourehold benefit to muvicipalities. and out of the welfare and contentment of all the parts will flow bappinese, peace, and security for the whole. That is my confident hope. Thero will at once subside the fluc tuations of Germany's fate. It will become the heart ot Europe, not by melting North Germany into a southern frame or the Bouth into a northern not by absorb ing historica peculiarities, by centralized omnipotence, not by mixing in one State, but by fedorating sove- ral sovereign States into a union §ike yours, upon a similar basis, will take place the national regene ration ci the Slavonia States, and not upon the sacri- ligious idca of pantiairm, equivalent to the omni- potence of the Czar.

But never had I the impious wish to try to ontangle this great republic into difficulties inconsistent with its own wel- fare, its own security, its own interest. I rather repeat- edly and earnestly declared that a waron this account, by your country, is utterly fneard ands mere phan- tom. Ialways deciared that United Btates remained masters of their actions, and under every cireumstanee Will act as they judge consistent with the supreme duties tothemselves But I said, and say, that such a declaring of just principles would insure to the nations of Europe fair play in thetr struggle for freedom and independence, because the declaration ef such a power as your re- joan will be respected even where it should not liked; and Europe's oppressed nations will feel cbeered in resolution and doubled in strength to maintain the decision of their Ameri¢an brethren on their | own behalf with their own lives. Thera is an immense wer in the idea to be right, when this idea is sanctioned y a nation like yours, and when the foreboding future Will beoome present, there is an immense field for pri- vate benevolence and sympathy upon the basis of the broad principles of international justice pronounced ia the sanctuary of your people's culleotive majority. So much to guard me against misunderstanding. Sir, I must fervently thank you for the acknowledgment that my country has proved werthy to be free Yes, gentlemen, I feel proud at my nation’s character, heroism, love of freedom, and vitality, and I bow with reverential awe be- fore the decree of Providence which placed my country into ® porition that, without its restoration to indepen- dence, there is no possibility for freedom and the indepen- dence of nations on the European continent. Even what now in France is abeut to pass, proves the truth of this, Every disappointed hope with which Europe looked towerds France ia a degree more added tothe importance of Hungary tothe world Upon our plaina were fought the decisive battles for Christendom. There will be fought the dec'sive battle for the independence of na- tions for State rights, for international law, and for de- moeretic liberty, We will live free or die like men; but rhould my people be doomed to die, it wil be the first, whore death will not be reeerded as suleide, but as @ martyrdom for the world; and future ages wilt mourm over the sad fate of the Magyar race, doomed to parish, not because we desorved it. but because in the nint teenth century there-was nobody to protect tha laws o€ nature and of nature’s Ged, I look to the future, with confidence and with hope Adver-ities, manifold, of @ tempest. toesed life, could, of course, not fall to impart & mark of cheerleesneea upon my heart, which, if not a scurce of joy. is ut least a guaranty agaiust sangniaa iliusiens. “L, for myself, would not want the hope of aus- cers for doing what is right tome, The sense of duty would suffice, Therefore, when | hope, ithas nothing ia common with that desperate instinct of a drowning man, who, half punk. is still grasping at a atraw for help. No, when I hope, there is motive for that bopa I havea steady faith in principles, Idare say that experisuce tavgbt me the logic of events, in connection wit principles I have fathomed the entire bottom of this mystery, and was, I perceive, right in my calou lations there, about once in my life L supposed ‘® principle to exist ina certain quarter, where, indeed, no principle proves to exist. It was a horrible mistake, and resulted ip @ horrible iesue. The present condition of Burope is a very consequence of it; but precisely thia condition of Europe ptoves, I did not wantouly suppose, a principle to exist there, where I found none would have existed. The consequences could not have failed to arrive as I bave contemplated them wall, There is a providence in every fuct.

Buch a doubt would be almost biasphemy against Providence But there isa Provi- dence. indeed—a just, @ bountiful Providenco—i truat, with the piety of my religion in it; I dare say my very humble self was # continuel instrument of it. How could I be else, in such a condition as I waa—born not conepicuous by any prominent abilities? Having nothis, in me more than an iron will which nothing ean bend, end the consciousness of being right, how could | ua- der the most arduous circumstances, accomplish many a thing which my sense of honest duty prompted ms to undertake? Ob, there is, indeed, a Providence which rules, even in my being here, when four months ago I was yet a pritoner of the league of Kuropean despots in far Asia, and the sympathy which your glorious people honor me with, the high benefit of the welecme of your Congress. and the honor to be your gurst—tobe the guest of your great republic—I, the oor humble, unpretending exile, Is there not a vory ntelligitle manifestation of Providence in it ?—the more when I remember that the name of your humble, but thankful guest, is, by the furious rage of the Ausiriaa tyrant, to the gallows nailed. Your generosity is great, end loud your protestation of republican principle: egeinst despotism I firmly trust to those principles, and relying upon this very fact of your generosity, { mary be permitted to say that that repeals organ of the free press was mistaken. which announced that £ considered my comirg hither to be @ failure.
