solutions and history, in so short a time

About the first of January, Kossuth arrived at Washington, whore Congress propose to give him "a cordial welcome to tho Capital and the country, in tiie name and behalf of the people of the United States." It is understood the ceremonies will be about the same as those extended to Lafayette in 1824, which was exceedingly simple, but touching. Lafayette was presented by its committee to the Senate, with these words "We introduce Gen. Lafayette to the Senate of the United States." The General, advancing to the chair, was invited by the President of that body to take a scat prepared for him on his riirht.

address to him was made.—

The Senate adjourned soon after, and tlum the'President and members paid their individual respects to him. On the next day the same ceremonies were observed iiv the House—with this addition, that Mr. Speaker Clay made a beautiful and eloquent address to Lafayette, to which the latter replied.

This, we presume, will be as much as will bo done in Washington, and it will be enough, for, however eminent is this gentleman, now the Nation's Guest, he is certainly entitled to less of our esteem and deep affection, than was the immortal MARQUIS DE LA

PAVKTTK.

Kossuth's presence among us, And his burning and impassioned spccchcs, havO given rise to new discussions, and new questions as to our future policy. Precedent is nearly lost sight of, and the wisdom of WASHINGTON, we fear, will be forgotten. Those "entangling alliances" of which that great and good man warned us,

Those who were best acquainted with the excitability of New Yorkers were not prepared to see so general, so thorough an absorption of all other subjects in this one.

in which he has

been engaged. During the past week he has been busy receiving addresses and making replies every day from 10 to 2 o'clock besides which he met the twelve Regiments of military, comprising the 1st Division of N. Y. State Militia, at Castle Garden on Tuesday evening, and addressed them on the subject of his mission, presenting it in a military point of view.— The Division turned out over 5,000 men, in full uniform, without arms, and the old Castle jiever presented a more brilliant spectacle. On Thursday evening, some 2,500 of*the inhabitants of Brooklyn met him in thc Plymouth Church, (Rev. II. Ward Beeclier's,) and were -addressed by him in one of tlie most eloquent expositions of Religious Freedom-and Public Education, in connexion with the cause of Hungary, that was ever presented. On Friday night, he met the Bar of N. York, at Tripler Hall, when, probably, the most powerful of his addresses wss made on

view of the subject. Auer the

public exercises a banquet was propared, and thc lawyers supped with their learned brother and talked until 2 o'clock. On Saturday, thc ladies of New York were addressed by him in the same placc, in behalf of thc mothers, wives, and daughters of Hungary, in an address which proved his mastery over the pathetic, no less than the logical and argumentative, nis labors in this city- have been finished for the present, and on Wednesday, he leaves for Philadelphia,

Ward meetings were called on Saturday evening, to perfect the arrangements, and to canvass the several wards, and to make collections for the cause. The audiences at Brooklyn, and at Tripler Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings, paid an admission of $5 each for the same purpose, which will produce not less than $30,000 more. I

and the subject is discussed

with the same spirit, that the constitutionality of the United States Bank was discussed a few years ago. The masses, it is evident, are disciples of Kossuth although, at some distance from each other, we can find those who view his doctrines with distrust, Whether this feeling is permanent, or whether it is the offspring of his consummate abilities, remains to be seen if the latter, merely, it will vanish with its author, but if the former, it will form a powerful element in the futilre of America.

You liave ailready been advised of the severe sickness of Mr. Clay the fact is now generally admitted, that, to all appearances, the days of his life are numbered. It is not supposed that he will ever again occupy his place in the Senate, and it is said that he has forwarded his resignation to the Governor of Kentucky, to take effect some future day. Dr. Jackson has sounded his lungs, and pronounced one to be seriously affected with the bronchitas and it is said, he will probably spend thc winter in Cuba or some of our Southern cities,
