TO TUC r.inTou ot"ritE; D.ttLY NEW 4.

DEAR Sta,—Lord Paltuer,too avowed it in tho
house, at the question of Mr. Urquhart, that the Hunga-
rian refugees, now at Southampton, have been sent off
front Turkey by the advice of the English government;
but he did not tell us in what manner this advice has been!
put in execution. A recent communication front Constan-
tinople enables me to give you the details ; they arc
con-
tained in a letter of M. Kossuth to the American Charge
d'AtEtires, and in the protestation of the Hungarian officers,
of which I inclose a copy.
Allow me, &c. &c., HTINGARUS.
LETTER OF LOUIS ROSSETTI, LATE GOVERNOR OP

To Homes A. Homes, Esq., Chargs d'Affaires, :al interim,
of the U. S. of America at Constantinople.
Kutahia, the 4th May,
Stn,—Scarce have I learnt from you the rebuke given by
the Turkish ministry to the generous proposition of your
glorious country's congress and government, that an Aus-
trian commissary also arrived to put the barbarous decision
of the l'ortc peremptorily to execution. An Austrian
commissary in Turkey! You must, of course, feel bow
deep this empire must have fallen, till it was to suffer such
degradation, nay, abdication of her independence. tihe is
falling fait, poor Turkey—falling, not by want of strength,
not by fatality, but by the cowardice of her leaders, who
have not the courage to act according to their own judg-
ment.

Of course, all the contestations about the "September
and no longer," so, the term of my detention, is mere hum-
bug : nay, more, it is affront added to oppression. Has the
Porte given th,., assurance to the United States that such a
day of September next you can take me without any further
application on board an American ship ? Of course no. lie,
therefore, sure of this, my dear sir, it is mere humbug. The
real value of their words I have had opportunity enough
to appreciate.
Full well I understand the case. I ant doomed to perish
at Kutahia—to fall a victim here to the fears of abominable
Austria. There are many ways to come to that cud, now
that the companions of my prison, they who have accom-
panied me by free choice, with the agreement of the Porte,
hither, arc by force torn away from my side, and 1 stand
almost forsaken—alone !

~Vrll, I will look i; for myself, and meet the wcrst if
needs be.

I must frankly tell you that I have anticipated the failure
of your negotiation. The Turkish government yields but to
fear or to protection, and it must be fully aware that what-
ever may be the power of the United States, Turkey has
nothing to fear and no protection to hope from them;
nothing, because your government, your legislative bodies,
all your organs or publicity, are very anxious to proclaim
every once again and again, that nun-intervention in Eu-
ropean matters, is the first fundamental principle of the
political system of the United States. To be sure, wise
were the men who established this principle, and wise were
the men who followed it. It was a necessary one for the
foundation as *ell as for the growth of the United States.
Neither would it be convenient to me to investigate whefher
the drum which is so well suited to protect the childhood
and to den lop the youth will still prove suitable
when the nue. h-promising y-onth had become a full-
frown man—nay, a mighty giant, as your country
is. Time is going on, mid every hour may
bring its own convenience as it bungs its own
neemsity. May be that even your glorious country
may soon be called to feel that every position has its neces-
sities, has its conditions—has, I would almost say, its un-
avoidable fatality ; the more, the greater, the mightier that
position is. "(sod arts nut by special will, but by general
laws," said an English philosopher. May be that even
your country will very soon be called to feel that it is de-
termined (as surely it is) to uphold, nay, still to
I heighten the glorious position it already holds, it
will scarcely bo possible, should it even be con-
venient not to put a weight into the balance,
where the destinies of the old word and its civilisation
are to be weighed, it will scarcely be possible not to give
anything more to the sufferings of nations than the noble
sentiments of sympathy to the struggling, the commisera-
tins to the fallen, an asylum to foe persecuted, or, at the
most, a generous offer, but which even a Turkish minister
may dare to decline.
There may be some who believe that the non-acceptation
of the generous offer of the United States is but an indirect
answer of Austria to the glorious declaration of Mr.
Webster, which found so mighty an echo iu every American
breast, an answer scarcely less arrogant than the first foolish
provocation v. ; there may be sonic who believe that the
United States may even not speak, but having once
I spoken their word must ho obeyed. As to me, it is my
duty not to repress even any humble wish about the further
steps of your government ; to me it would be eluite inconve-
nient either to entertain or to express any feelings else than
