The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says—
" Mr. Webster has rejected the proposition of the
Spanish Government, made through its Minister here,
for the settlement of the late difficulties about Cuba, and
for a better understanding between the two countries. The
proposition was for the American Government to invite
the Spanish Consul to return to New Orleans, to bring
him in a national vessel, and to salute the Spanish flag
over him; and, further, to restore the value of the pro-
perty of the Consul, and of the Spanish citizens of New
Orleans, which was destroyed by the rioters. In case
this proposition should be rejected, the Minister was in-
structed to demand his passports and return. Of course,
M. Calderon de la Barca is in a diplomatic category."
In contradiction to the above the Herald says that
matters are in a fair way for adjustment.
The United States' steam-ship Mississippi arrived
at New York on the 10th.
Mr. Kingsland, the mayor of New York, had re-
ceived the following letter from Kossuth :
"TO HIS HONOUR A. C. KINGSLAND, MAYOR OF THE
CITY OF NEW YORK.
" Sir,--The United States ordered the steam-frigate
Mississippi to conduct me out of my prison to freedom,
and by freedom to life, because to activity.
"I hailed this generous resolution as the greatest
honour which a man can meet. I hailed it as a ray of
hope and consolation to my down-trodden, to my bleed-
ing, but still not broken, native land. I hailed it as a
highly encouraging manifestation of your glorious
people's sympathy to that principle which was, and will
ever be, the aim of all the endeavours of all my life.
"And when, with the noble minded consentment of
the Sultan, I stepped on board the Mississippi frigate,
and, once more free, because under your glorious flag,
heard the warm, generous, welcoming cheer of the
officers and crew—those frank, loyal, gallant men, the
true representatives of American freedom, American
greatness, American generosity—l could not forbear to
have the impression that the spirit of America's young
giant has shouted over the waves to old Europe's op-
pressed nations, 'Don't despair—here is a brother's
powerful hand to your aid!' These being my senti-
ments, you can judge by them, Sir, how fervently I must
have wished to hsve the honour to bo conducted by this
very frigate to the United States.
" But I know that the smpathy of the United States is
not given to any man in the world for his own sake, but
for the principle's sake that he represents. And so I
felt convinced that I should prove unworthy of this sym-
pathy (this highest treasure of my life) should I neglect
for a single moment the duties which divine Providence
has assigned me; should I neglect to provide, accord-
ing to the exigencies of circumstances, for the interest
of yonder cause which the glorious Republic of the
United States honoured with its approbation and its
sympathy.
" It became, therefore, an imperious duty of honour
and conscience to me not to leave Europe without ar-
ranging my public and private affairs, and carefully pro-
viding against eny harm to the sacred aim of my life, for
that time which I shall have to enjoy the honour of the
hospitality of your glorious land.
" So the most imperious duties of a patriot, a father
and a man, impose upon me the necessity to stop for a
few days in England before I continue my passage to the
United States.
" Commodore Morgan, at Spezzia, and afterwards Cap-
tain Long of the Mississippi, here did, with the noble
kindness of a true American heart, appreciate the
motives of this necessity, and generously consented to
wait with the Mississippi in the bay of Gibraltar for
ray return from England with the packet boat which
leaves Southampton on the 27th inst.
" Rat the Government of the French Republic' (not
the French nation, but its present Government) refused
to grant me permission to pass rapidly through France,
by which passage I might have spared time and suffer-
ings to my wife and children. And now the first means
of convey anco to England I can avail myself of is only
a packet boat, expected to-morrow to arrive from the
Orient; and this, too, making eleven days to England
from here.

" On the other hand, Captain Long informs me that
any longer delay here would render not only my asso-
ciates, but also the officers and crew of the Mississippi,
liable, in approaching the coast of the United States at
a late season, to many sufferings, by having to endure
excessively severe cold and stormy weather.
" So considering, on the one side, that the most sacred
duties force me nut to leave Europe for some time, before
providing for my affairs in England, and considering, on
the other side, that only staying Eight or ten days in
England, it were entirely impossible to join again the
Mississippi here before the 18th of November, so that, of
course, we could only arrive in the second half of De-
cembPr on your hospitable shores, it became absolutely
a duty of honour to me not to cause any augmentation
to the hardships and sufferings to the offieera and crew
of this ship, and not to embarrass them in their public
service, as also to alleviate my own associates in their
passage to the United States.
" These are the motives, sir, which deprive me of the
honour to be conducted to the your glorious shores on
board the Missis-ippi frigate; but I feel consoled at the
idea that in adopting such a course I not only have re-
lieved those who are on board the Mississippi from some
sufferings, but myself also will have the high satisfaction
an entire month sooner to enjoy the happiness of land-
ing at New York, as I am decided to leave England on
board that steamer which leaves Liverpool on the 7th of
November for New York.
" Having had the inestimable pleasure to read re-
ported in the public papers that the city of New York
resolved to honour, with a generous reception and hos-
pitality, in my undeserving person, the cause and prin-
ciples I represent, I regard it to be my duty respectfully
to inform, you, sir, and by your kind interference, the
generous city of New York, about these accidents, and
about my intention to leave Liverpool for your city on
the 7th of November.
" I confidently hope that the people and Government
of the United States will appreciate my motives, and ap-
prove the course I was bound to adopt.
" Let me hope, also, sir, that I might nothing have
lost by the imperious necessity of this course from you
and your people's sympathies which, though conscious
not to have merited, I consider the greatest honour of
my life, the highest reward for my sufferings, and the
most honouring encouragement steadily to go on toward.
that noble aim which the people of the United States has
sanctioned and sanctified by its sympathy.
"Bo pleased, sir, to accept the expression of my
highest regards, lasting gratitude, and most distinguished
consideration, with which I have the honour to be, your
most obsequious servant, " KOSSUTH.
" United States' Steam-frigate Mississippi,
Bay of Gibraltar, Oct. 14."
