Pawtucket Gazette And Chronicle

Movements of Kossuth. The reception of Kossuth in Philadelphia appears to have been quite as enthusiastic as his reception in New York. He was welcomed to the city in Independence Hall—the hall in which our independence was declared. On the evening of Wednesday, the city authorities complimented him with a banquet, but he was too ill to be present more than a few minutes. He was confined to his bed by fever most of the day on Thursday. On Friday evening the citizens gave him a banquet, which was attended by a large number of persons, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. An extract from the speech delivered by Kossuth on the occasion will be found on our first page. Eloquent speeches were delivered by a number of other gentlemen. During the exile's stay in Philadelphia, he was waited upon by a large number of persons and contributions were made to the Hungarian fund. He was presented with a magnificent Maltese cross of gold, in which was a likeness of Gen. Washington, set in pearls, and a locket, containing a portion of the hair of Washington. A large number of clergymen waited upon him and presented him an eloquent address. The children welcomed him, one lad delivering an address on behalf of the boys and another on behalf of the girls. The scene was very impressive, and elicited the warmest applause.

Kossuth left Philadelphia on Saturday, and arrived in Baltimore on the afternoon of the same day. An immense concourse of people assembled to greet his arrival, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. In the evening he addressed about 6000 persons in the hall of the Maryland Institute. Delegations waited upon him on Monday, and money was contributed.

Kossuth left Baltimore on Tuesday morning and arrived in Washington about 11 o'clock on the same day. He was received by the Senate committee and some of the officers of the District and conducted to Brown's Hotel. He was warmly greeted by the crowd of people who had assembled to witness his arrival. Mr. Webster was introduced to him soon after his arrival, and remained with him sometime. It is expected that he will be introduced to the Senate on Monday next. It has been decided that he shall be received in the same manner as Lafayette was. The chairman of the committee will introduce him in these words: "We present Louis Kossuth to the Senate of the United States," upon which the president will invite him to be seated. The Senate will probably soon after adjourn out of respect to him. He will not speak in either house of Congress. The members of Congress are making arrangements to compliment him with a public dinner, and on this occasion he will probably make a speech. The President will entertain him, and so will other distinguished men. Attorney General Crittenden and other public men called on him on Tuesday.
