Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper
! WASHINGTON, Jan. IS, 1850
The HungartanS-Erecmive ,4ctioo
their Behalf.
The Hungarian strangers have hoo.
received with marked attention by OVAL,
body in the city TO whom they have boo!s
introduced. The conference with ,bn
President few days ago, was to them
peculiarly gratifying; and, since that time
the President has instructed Mr.. Marsh
our Minister resident at ConstantinonIe
to intercede with the Sultan of Turkey in
behalf of Kossuth and his compatrio,s
that those brave men may come to our
own shores, and find an opportunity to
enjoy the blessings of liberty, of which
they are deprived in their fatherland.
The Hungarians now here are induced
to hope that Congress will make donations
Of land to lhem--lhat under ''the shade
of their own vine and fig tree, none
shall modest and make afraid" This
would be a fit accompaniment TO the with
drawal of our Charge from Vienna; with.
out the latter, the former would be
marked intimatiOn to Austria and the other
despotisms of Europe, that we apprehend
strength, not danger, from those who dared
assert the rights of humanity in the face
Of the rotten pretensiOns TO the divine prc.
negative of Kings.
GEORGETOWN CoLLEGE.-Serious Dir
fcmty.-The Washington correspondent
of the ladelphia American says:
A serious difficulty has occurred at
Georgetown College, which has afforded
much food for conversation and no little
excitement in this city. 1t seems that,
from some cause or other, the students are
violently opposed 10 the Project of the
College, who is a native of Switzerland.
The students held a meeting and passed
a series of resolutions, complaining of the
treatment which they had received, of the
improper quality of their food, and of the
conduct of this Project in particular.
Three of the leaders in this movement
were expelled, whereupon sixty of the
students left the ColIege-ffteen of the
whole number remaining. Before leaving,
they made somewhat riotous demonstra-
ton, when the obnoxious Project left the
College.
The students held meeting yesterday
and agreed TO return to the College on the
following conditions: lst-All the STU
dents TO be received. 2nd-The Swiss
Project to be discharged, and an American
appointed in his place. 3rd-Thc past
To be buried in oblivion. Public opinion
in Washington sustains the course pursued
by the students.
Among the students who left the Col
legc arc Alfred Homer, John Savage, Jr.,
and Robert Lee, of Philadelphia.
