LOUIS KOSSUTH. We defined our position at length, in our paper of the 31st December, in relation to Louis Kossuth and the doctrine of intervention, or non-intervention by Russia in the affairs of Hungary. The opinions then expressed we have seen no reason to change or modi fy. Those opinions are well known to our readers, and we shall not, therefore, repeat them. The Editors of the Wilmington Commercial and Raleigh Register have evinced unus'ual anxiety to involve this question in the strife of party politics. They are in want of capital for the ensuing campaign, and they would be pleased, above all things subluna ry, to have the hobby of a Russian war to ride. How they would dwell upon young men torn from mothers, sisters.and sweethearts, to be butchered by Cossacks, or sent by Nicholas to the dreary wastes of Siberia ! And ,how they would groan over the prospect of a winter campaign in Russia, the certainty of increas ed debt and heavy taxation, and the probabilities of (disasters to our arms abroad and divisions and ruin thome! We may as well inform these gentlemen t once that they cannot be accommodated. Their stra supply of patriotism must find an outlet on me other question and in some other way. the Register has endeavored to show that Mr. adgerand Mr. Venab'e occupy thesame ground in elation to Kossuth, but the truth is the difference etffeen them is wide and palpable. Mr. Venable ted for the original Resolution of welcome to Kos suth, and proposed that the Speaker ot the House be hqnested to introduce him on the floor of that body ; fir.

There have been, since the formation of our Gov ernment, sixteen Presidential Elections. The fol lowing is a correct statement, compiled from an au thentic source, of the number of votes received by each principal candidate, for President and Vice President, in each of said Elections ; and will be found not only useful lor present information, but fu ture reference.

We publish to-day the Speech of Judge Douglas, of Illinois, delivered in the Senate in relation to his course on the Slavery question, and especially the fugitive-slave law enacted by the last Congress. If any one has heretofore entertained doubts in re gard to the position of Senator Douglas, those doubts can exist no longer. They have been dispelled, as the sun scatters the fog or morning dew. The truth is, no public man in '.he free States has stood up more firmly and uniformly than he has done for non-interference on the Slavery question, or for the rights and Constitutional equality of the slaveholding States. What he was on this question five years ago. he is now ; and his candor, frankness, and honesty of speech and of purpose, have at all times commanded the respect of the country and the confidence of his political friends. We ask our readers to peruse this Speech atten tively and carefully, and then form their own opinions. The Queen of Spain has pardoned all the Ameri can prisoners engaged in the Lopez expedition, whe ther in Spain or in Cuba. The Madrid Gazette con tains the note of Mr. Webster to the Spanish Gov ernment which led to this result, and expresses the highest satisfaction al its tone. Mr. Thrasher, it is supposed, is included in the pardon. This act of clemency reflects great credit on the character of tho Queen. Comptroller's Report. We shall conclude in our next Weekly and Semi-Weekly, the Report of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, with the excep tion of the Tabular Statement, which will follow in a subsequent number. We are indebted to Mr. Poraeroy for the January number of that most interesting periodical, Harp per's New Monthly Magazine," CONGRESS. In the Senate, on Friday the 2d January. Mr. Wal ker of Wisconsin presented the memorial of the In dustrial Congress of New York, praying the recall of our Minister to France, and the suspension of di plomatic relations with that country. Mr. Walker moved to refer the memorial to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and spoke at some length in favor of the motion ; and Messrs. Mason, Dawson, Man gum, and Butler spoke in opposition. After consid erable debate the memorial was not referred, but was laid upon the table, yeas 21, nays 14. Mr. Clarke, of Rhode Island, gave notice of his intention to introduce a joint resolution declaratory of me principles of the United States Government upon the doctrine of intervention with the internal relations of other States, and re-affirming the settled policy of our government. On motion of Mr. Mangum, it was ordered that when the Senate adjourn, it adjourn to Monday; and then, after some notices of bills and reports from Committees, the Senate adjourned. The House of Representatives was engaged dur ing nearly four hours on the same day, in Committee of the Whole, in considering the Resolution hereto fore offered by Mr. Carter providing for a Comraitte of five to introduce Kossuth on the floor of that body. The debate was conducted under the five-minute rule. Mr. Stanly spoke against Mr. Carter's Resolution, and defined his position generally on the subject, in five minutes. A number of other gentlemen spoke, and the House adjourned to Monday without having taken any final action. The Senate met on Monday, the 5th. At an early hour the various passages and lobbies of the Capitol leading to the Senate chamber, were thronged and crowded, by persons anxious to see Kossuth, who was to be introduced to the Senate. At 11 o'clock the doors were opened, and the galleries were soon filled. A large number of petitions were presented, and reports from Committees were made. On motion of Mr. Mangum, the rules were sus pended so as to admit ladies to the floor of the Sen ate ; and then Mr. Senator Gwin entered with Mad ame Kossuth, followed by Pulskey and several ladies. At one o'clock Gov. Kossuth entered the Senate, leaning on the arm of General Shields, and accom panied by Messrs. Cass and Seward, and others of his suite. When arrived at the bar, General Shields said, " Mr. President, we have the honor to introduce Louis Kossuth to the Senate of the United States." The chair requested the committee to conduct M. Kossuth to a seat. The committee conducted him to a seat in front of the Secretary's desk. Mr. Mangum said that in order that all might have an opportunity of paying their respects to the illus trious guest, he would move the Senate adjourn. The motion was agreed to. M. Kossuth remained in the Senate chamber some 20 minutes, receiving introductions to Senators, la dies, and others, and then retired. We copy from the Baltimore Sun, the proceedings of the House on the same day: 'Mr. Carter, of Ohio, moved the suspension of the rules, for the purpose of submitting the resolution au thorising the appointment of a committee of five members to welcome Louis Kossuth, and introduce him to the House. Mr. Stuart, of Michigan, proposed an amendment, that the Chairman introduce M. Kossuth with these words : We introduce Louis Kossuth and that the members then rise, and the Speaker invite him to take a seat, which was objected to, and therefore could not be put. The yeas and nays were then taken on Mr. Carter's motion, which was carried yeas 117, nays 31. The previous question having been carried, Mr. Carter moved the adoption of tne resolution, upon which the decision was 123 in the affirmative and 54 in the negative. A resolution was made to refer a bill relative to public lands, in the territory cf Minnesota to the committee on public lands instead of the committee on territories, which was supported by Mr. Hall, of Missouri, the chairman of the former committee. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, expressed a hope that the committee would report some system of opening roads through the public lands of the States as well as Territories ; and that the government would deal liberally as to donations, and thus promote the set tlement of the territories as fast as possible. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, moved for the suspension of the rules, and submitted a resolution calling on the President for information with reference to the pro position ot the British government for selling color ed persons in the West Indies, and suggested that a law be passed rendering binding'such agreements as might be entered into. The rules were suspended and the resolution passed. Mr. MeNair, of Pa., moved for leave to introduce a resolution for appointing a committee to examine the. foundations cf the wings of the capitol, and to report if they are of sufficient strength to support the building which it is intended to erect thereon. Tellers were appointed, but no quorum voting, it was proposed that the House adjourn. Mr. MeNair again called for tellers, but no quorum voting a second time, a motion was carried to adjourn rill to-morrow (Tuesday) twelve o'clock." In the Senate, on the 7th, the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury was received ; and also a report relative to the Cuban prisoners recently re leased. The Resolution providing for printing the returnsof the Census of 1850, was taken up, but no action was had thereupon. Several private bills were acted upon. The House, oh the same day, was engaged in re ceiving reports of Committees and disposing of them, and referring executive communications; after which they went into Committee cf the Whole, and consid ered, first, the proper standing committee to which the subjoct of " rivers " in the President's Message should be referred, and next, the bill from the Com mittee of Ways and Means to provide for the pay ment of the next instalment due from this govern ment under the treaty of Gaudaloupe Hidalgo. Mr. Cartter reported early in the day's session that the select committee to wait on Kossuth designed presenting him to the House at one, p. m. to-day; and, on the motioo,of Mr. C, it was agreed that the ceremonies on the occasion should be similar to those that look place in the Senate on Monday last. The House adjourned. Kossuth's sisters and several Hungarian noblemen arrived as prisoners, by special train, at Vienna, on the 10th December. The governmept of Austria may imprison and punish these helpless females, because they have Kossuth blood in their veins, and it may continue to watch and harrass his venerable mother; but that government can sink itself no lower than it now is, by any act it may commit, in the estimation of all good and honorable men. Gen. Cavaignac had been liberated unconditionally by Louis Napoleon, and was about to leave France for Holland. The other imprisoned Generals were to be released upon their agreeing to become volun tary exiles. The distinguished Victor Hugo, who so bitterly opposed Napoleon's usurpation, was at Brussels. The Kossuth Hat, said to be a decided Improve ment upon the hard-shellttd silk hats, is becoming all the rage in Philadelphia and New York. It is made of felted wool, is soft, pliable, and allows the pers piration to pass freely from the head. MR. OWEN'S DEFENCE. We have read the defence of Mr. Owen, late Consul at Havana, against certain charges preferred against him in connection with the Cuban expedition, and which charges, it is supposed, being regarded as well founded by the President, led to his recall. Mr. Owen's defence is not completely satisfactory to our mind ; but then we think it our duty to say, what we really think, that he has been unjustly dealt with. He shows, in his defence, that he went as far as he thought he could go, consistently with his powers as Consul, to save the unfortunate persons who were shot by order of the Captain-General ; and he shows, also, that he was attentive to those who were sent to Spain, and that he did what he could to relieve their wants and mitigate their sufferings. He publishes a letter from the Captain-General, address ed to himself, just before the prisoners were shot, in which he. Concha, alludes to the fact that the pris oners had been outlawed by President Fillmore, and declares, in consequence, that he wiil admit no inter ference in their behalf. This tells the tale. Mr. Owen has beert made a scape-goat for the Administration, and his reputation has suffered from his silence. He seems to feel this, for in concluding his defence he says : " My greatest error, perhaps, has been that which a friend had the kindness the other day to point out to me ; and it requires a friend sometimes to bring our real errors to our notice. " Mr. Owen," said he, " you have done everything which you ought to have done, except to take care of yourself." If such shall be the general opinion of my countrymen, I shall be satisfied." Florida Land Sales. An extensive sale of lands belonging to the State of Florida, is to take place in April and May next. Of these lands the Tallahassee Sentinel says : The largest and most important sale of selected lands ever proposed in Florida, is adver tised in the Sentinel of to-day. These lands com prise some 300,000 of the 500,000 acres granted to the State for Internal Improvements, and constitute all which have been thus far selected and approved under the provisions of this grant. A large portion of them were selected immediately after the United States surveys had been completed, and before the lands were in market, and the general character of all is supposed to be far above average. Ranging from latitude 27 to 31, they are susceptible of a great variety of production, and offer a wide range of choice to all who may contemplate embarking in; agricultu ral pursuits in Florida. The Condition op France. The details of the foreign news show that France is a puzzle to the most sagacious politicians and journalists in Europe. Nobody pretends to know anything about her condi tion since the coup d'etat, nor does any one prognosti cate her future prospects. All is a blank. The Na poleonists, of course believe that, after the elections, all will go merrily as a marriage-bell.; but the general opinion appears to be that some sudden outbreak will happen that either the Reds, or the Socialists, or the Legitimists will get up a demonstration against Louis Napoleon, sooner or later. The future is, however, a profound puzzle. It is said that Lord Palmerston will be called upon to expel political refugees from London. This, however, he is not likely to do. The Legislature of New York assembled on Mon day last. The Senate was organized by the election of Democratic officers, and the House by the election of Whig officers, by a small majority. The annual Message of Gov. Hunt was delivered. He speaks of the progress of the State, and the valuation cf property as having increased over a bilion of dollars. He advocates the enlargement of the canal, by crea ting a State debt of $21,500,000. The Governor also argues in favor of a change in the present Tariff ; and on the Slavery question he recommends mutual forbearance and a discontinuance of agitation. The City authorities of New York, it is said, have notified the Hungarians at the Irving House that they would not pay their bills after the 6th instant. The entertainment of these gentlemen has already cost the City $17,000. The Democratic County Convention for York, Pa. met on Monday last, and passed Resolutions in favor of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency, without a di vision. The Presidency. The Boston Times has raised the flag of the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, for President, and the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, for Vice President. Napoleon and Nicholas. It is stated, in the late foreign news, that an aid-de-camp of the Empe ror of Russia had arrived at Paris, to congratulate Louis Napoleon on his success. Barnum's Museum in Philadelphia, was consumed by fire on the 30th December. A large and valuable collection of curiosities was destroyed. The fire was, with much effort, arrested. The "Live Giraffe" is the title of a paper proposed to be issued in this City, by Mr. Wesley Whitaker. The "Giraffe" will no doubt prove a spicy and ac ceptable sheet. We wish the Editor success. Important Foreign Intelligence. In addition to the telegraphic report of the news by the Frank lin, published in another column, we have received a despatch which states that the London Times rep resents the relations between Louis Napoleon and the British government to be unsatisfactory. The same is stated with regard to France and Austria, the latter power being described as looking upon Presi dent Napoleon's power as merely provisional, and preliminary to the restoration of legitimacy. The subject of an alliance of England with Amer ica for the preservation of the cause of freedom against the encroachments of despotism, is exciting lively interest throughout England. The Emperor of Morocco has refused to treat with the French charge (Toffuirs, who had left Tangier with other French citizens. It will be seen that the Atlantic has arrived, withrj dates to the 20th ultimo. Returns from France show that Louis Napoleon had been elected President by an immense majority. Washington Republic. Presidential Dinner to Kossuth. We under stand that a dinner was given to Governor Kossuth, on Saturday evening, by the President of the United States, at which were present the family of the Pres ident, Governor Kossuth and lady, with Mr. and Mrs. Pulszky, Captain Massingberd and Mrs. Mas singberd, of the suite of Kossuth ; the Secretary of State and Mrs. Webster, the Secretary of VVar, General Scott, Commodore Morris and lady; Hon. VV. R. King, President of the Senate; Hon. Linn Boyd, Speaker of the House of Representatives; Mrs. Boyd ; Rev. Dr. Py ne ; Rev. Dr. Butler, Chap lain of the Senate; Mrs. Butler; Major Lenox; Gen. Cass, Governor Seward, and General Shields, of the Senate Committee ; Mr. Ampere, a distinguished sa vant on a visit to the French Minister; Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute ; Mrs. Henry, and Dr. Kane, of the Exploring Expedition. Washington Republic of Monday last. Health of Henry Clav. A Speech from Him. It is stated from Washington that the health of Mr. Clay is much better, and it is said to be understood that he will endeavor to address the Senate to-day or to-morrow on the resolution of which Mr. Clarke, of R. I., gave notice on Friday, in reference to the pol icy of the U. S. Government on the subject of inter vention. We do not know, however, on what au thority this announcement is made. Ball. Sun. ARRIVAL OF THE FRANKLIN. New York, January 3. The steamer Franklin, which left Cowes at fonr o'clock on the evening of the 22d ultimo, arrived this afternoon, bringing fifty passengers. France continued tranquil. The voting in Paris was continued till eight o'clock on Saturday night, and upwards of 300,000 votes had been taken. The weather was favorable, and the voting was conducted with the greatest quiet. The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, the 20th, amounted to 5,000 bales, at steady and un changed rates. There were taken, on speculation 500 bales American and 500 bales ot Sural. The market closed firmer. The prices of breadstuff showed no quotable change. Sicond Dispatch. New York, January 4 3 p. m. Addresses of ad hesion to the President of France have been received from a hundred and fifteen places, and from thirty eight departments. The voting in the departments was progressing earnestly and peacefully, and no doubt was enter tained of the election of Napoleon by an immense majority. Still Later from Europe Arrival if the Atlantic. N ew York, January 410 p. ro. The steamer Atlantic has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 24th ultimo. At Paris on Sunday evening the ballot closed amid complete tranquillity. The result of the polling in twelve arrondissements was one hundred and thirty two thousand in favor of Napoleon and eighty thou sand against him. The returns from the departments, as far as received, were one million and seven hun dred thousand in favor of Napoleon and two hundred and seven thousand against him. N umerous deputations, representing- the trade and J manufactures of Paris, headed by M. Lemane, had j waited on Louis Napoleon and given in their adhe sion to nis government. Cotton had advanced at Liverpool , with sales of 14,000 bales in two days. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Jan. 5, 1852. Land to Kossuth and the Hungarians A National Set tlement now contemplated by the Magyar Chief- Himself and the Democrats and Abolitionists, $c. Gentlemen : It appears that Kossuth has realized that as an exile from a land of persecution as an emigrant seeking a home he, and all his associates will he received with open arms not only a home, but a homestead, equal in extent to several farms in Europe, as a free will gift, will be granted them. He has made many minute inquiries on that sub ject and has arived at the conclusion that all efforts to induce the Nation to plunge into a war for the doubtful emancipation of Hungary will result in dis appointment. His desire now is to obtain a large tract, on which to make a National settlement, and prefers to pay a reasonable price for it. A wing of the democratic party have solemnly pro tested against his (Kossuth's) connexion with Sew ard and the abolitionists, and have convinced him that he will lose many friends unless he cuts them. He is much distressed, and he says Mr. Seward has been one of his best friends. B. The above letter is from an occasional correspon dent at Washington, whose sources of information are probably of the best character. Though Kossuth may contemplate a national settlement for such of his countrymen in this country as are here and may choose yet to come, it does not follow that he himself may not yet make a further effort in behalf of his country and European liberty. He may be wisely looking, however, to his national settlement, as an ultimate re fuge, for himself in the contingency of failure. Baltimore Sun. . Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington. January 5. Kossuth was this morning introduced to the Uni ted States Senate. After the announcement, the Sen ate adjourned to give Senators an opportunity of be ing personally introduced to the Governor, which cer emony being finished, Kossuth withdrew. There was no necessiry, on the part of any person, by speeches or otherwise, to act as masters of ceremony. or to teach Jvosauth international propriety he un derstands it perfectly. Carter's resolutions passed the House at last, by a vote of 128 to 58. Kossuth will he introduced to that honorable body to-morrow.
