to Vattel and the Law of Nations, and with a
solemn face to read lectures to Europe on Inter-
national Law, but she well knows that she herself
:is utterly regardless of such laws. What right
can the confiscator of the estates of the Lombard
emigrants—emigrants whose naturalisation in
Piedmont she had acknowledged—what right has
she to talk of International Law ? The American
well knew that it would never do to leave KOSSTA
in such ruthless and lawless hands. The vindic-
• tiveness that demanded confiscation of the property
of the naturalised subjects of Piedmont would
have been satisfied with nothing less than con-
fiscation of M. KOSSTA's liberty for life
in a dungeon ; and, probably, would have
speedily relieved itself even of that charge by
imbruing its hands in his blood. It is needless
to advert to the attempts of Austria on the liber-
ties of other States in Germany and Italy—its
dealings with any unfortunate individuals, whose
property or persons it could seize, if they hap-
pened to be obnoxious to it, were an ample justi-
fication for Capt. INGRAHAM. Public opinion
appears to be altogether in favour of Captain
INGRAHAM. His own Government promptly ac-
cepts his proceedings, and makes them its own ;
and Genoese citizens, though taken to task after-
-wards by the prudent police, serenade him on
board hi• vessel. In this country there can
hardly be two opinions on the subject. The com-
mon feeling is, "We could wish that our gallant offi-
cers were also allowed to be INGRAHAMS." Every
Englishman knows where the fault lies ; and he sees
with humiliation the commander of a small American,
vessel attracting more respect in the Mediterranean
than a powerful fleet of his country's vessels in the
../Egean. What will be the result ? Austria will
quibble, and complain, and succumb. It knows
:full well that the Young Republic will stand no
nonsense. It will not like to have Trieste and
Fiume blockaded by Republican vessels, its little
fleet and commerce annihilated, and its mines of
popular disaffection sprung by the presence of the
stripes and the stars in its waters. It must yield.
However mortifying, the representative of all the
Hapsburgs, must bow to the chosen of the United
States Ballot-box. Woe to the President who
should propose a compromise, and woe to the
Emperor of Austria if he should dare to insist
on it. No ; happily for this case of Imperial
audacity, the American people—not a half Aus-
trian Minister—have the business in their own
hands. President PIERCE has sustained a grie-
vous fall in popularity at home, and he dares not
risk, even were he so inclined, which he is not,
even the appearance of concession to Austria.
It has been urged, even by some who rejoice,
as we do, in KossTA's escape, and think the Aus-
trian captain the grosser violater of international
law, that refugees cannot be allowed to naturalise
themselves in another State, merely to return and
carry on revolutionary projects with greater faci-
lity; that it would result in serious embarrass-
ments between the adopted and the relinquished
country. The answer seems to be, that had
KOSSTA, for instance, been caught in the act of
raising sedition or rebellion in Austria, whether
he were a United States citizen or not, he must
bear the consequences of his own act. Had he
been detected levying war on Austria, in the
United States themselves, Austria, we suppose,
could have obtained redress. The one thing no
American captain can, or should, tolerate, is the
seizure, in a neutral port, of those who have legal
claim on the protection of the United States flag.
