We have already alluded to a de.
tcctcd conspiracy of the Austrian
Government to aSsassinatc kossuth.
At the latest dates from the T.evant, it
was the common topic at Constan.
tinopIe. The details of the transac.
ton are as follows. Among the ref.
ugees who followed Kossuth across
the Turkish frontier was Hungarian
soldier who had deserted the Imperial
service in Italy, and contrived to re-.
gain his country before the termina.
ton of the war. An Austrian consul
put himself in communication with
this man, and proposed that he should
aid him in a plan for the escape OF
Kossuth. The official represented
the constant embarrassment which
the refugee question would prove to
Austria, and the expedcncy Of at
once furnishing Kossuth with the
means of quietly reaching France or
England. The Hungarian soldier fell
into the trap, and began to concert
measures for carrying out the plan,
bat before long the real nature of the
Austrian consul's project was discov.
cred. Kossuth was to be wiled away
from his Turkish residence, and then
to be murdered by Il band Of Croats
stationed on the road TO the sea coast.
There are various stories afoat as
to the precise occasion on which this
discovery was made. However tina:
may be, it is quite certain that Sir
Stratford Canning was at once in.
formed Of this revolving treachery,
and Of the circumstance which i'm.
plicated the Austrian Government.
With his cooperation, the Turkish
authorities are now occupied in an
investigation Of the whole plot, and,
before many days, the result of their
labors will be given 10 the world
Austria has proved herself capable Of
the most infamous perfidy.

DEATH Dy LIc1IrNING.-A CORES
pondent from Ware county, (Ga.)
writes u.s.
On the 2lst inst, the house o.
James AspinwalI of Ware county
was struck by lightning. AT the time
OF the melancholy occurrence. there
we're present in the house, besides Mr.
Aspinwall and his wife, two other
men. AspinwaII was instantly killed
his wife badly wounded. and the
two others present stunned for some
time. Upon their recovery, the latter
found themselves lying upon the grass,
outside the door and on entering the
house, discovered Aspinwall dead and
his wife apparently so; but upon the
application Of cold water to her face,
she recovered and expressed her un.
consciousness of what had happened
by asking, who and what had served
her in that manner?
The fluid seems to have run the
whole course Of their bodies, from the
head downwards. as the shoes of all
the persons in the party, were thrown
oil their feet and torn to atoms. Mr..
Aspnwall was a young man of great
responsibility. and his death is uni.
versally lamcnted.

rSoR'-l wish to give you an account Of an
outrageous and high-handed measure which oc-
CURED here short time since. The sufferers were
two brothers named Gregorio and Rinardo Selva.
They came 10 this place from Granada, for the
purpose Of embarking for the United States. Tn
luckily for these two highly intelligent and most
respectable gentlemen, who have taken a very pro-
minent part in favor Of the United States and have
violently opposed the English designs, they met
here, on their arrival, the notorious Mr.. Chatfed
British Charge, Consul, &c, and his private secre-
tary, Don NJ. Palon, who is a native Of the city
Of Guatemala. Chatiield had a strong hatred 10
Senior X. Selva, which originated in the latter
having opposed his views and got the best Of him
on a previous occasion. Now, Chatfield met the
Senior X. Seva in country where the inhabitants
are but idiots, and where they are susceptible of be-
ing managed and governed by such an gnoble man
as Chathed lie induced the English Governor Of
this place 20 arrest Don X. Selva, and consign
him to prison, loaded with irons like the vilest Of

his feet ar Il manaCles upon his hands. While in
this situation, Chaiiield went to the prison 10
him, and glut his malice by locking at his misery,
and thus satiate his brutal vengeance. Don X.
StNa asked hln Tie cause OF such cruelty, or what
crime he had been guilty of The only reply he
received, was being knocked down by Chaihcld,
with blow in the face. Soon after this.

Highly Interesting from Porto Rice.
INSULTS TO AMERICAN sAnoRs-sPLENDrp CONDUCT
OF CAPTAIN RANDOLPH, OF THE UyIT.p STATES
SHIP ALBANY, ETC.
The bark Carlota, Captain Gerard, arrived yes
terday from Porto Rico. She brings us further in
telligence from Mayaguez. 1t is of considerable
interest
We learn from Captain g., that the schooner
North Carolina, Captain Beacher, was a total
wreck, and that Captain b. and crew, at the risk
Of their lives, saved chronometer, spy glass and
charts, which were taken away from them by the
Spanish authorities, besides their clothing. The
latter upon being examined and found to be of no
value, was returned. The captain and crew were
then forbidden to leave the island, at the risk of
being imprisoned. What part the American Con-
sui took in this affair." is unknown, but it is said he
refused furnishing il9 crew board and lodging;
saying that the American government did not allow
TO American citizens in distress, in foreign ports,
but forty cents day, which, he said, would not
support them in Maysguez, and if he found them
with board, he would have to pay for out of his
own pockets. The poor fellows were therefore
obliged to depend upon the charity of the American
and English vessels in port, and, for upwards of
month, they would be from one vessel to another
ioi az eSoH as an hHicIiCdH Ntssel NOuiu De ready
for sea, she would be strictly overhauled by the
vigilant Captain of the Port who if he found either
the captain, mate, or any of the crew on board,
would order them, bag and baggage, on shore, like
so many dogs.
On the Ilth Of April, the u. s. sloop-of-war
Albany, Commander Randolph, arrived The next
day Captain Beacher reported his barbarous treat
ment to Captain Randolph, who was at the time
in the American Consus Office Captain RAN
dolph said:-
sR-I will not leave this island until you get salts

Some Spanish loafer who happened to be in the
Consul's office at the time, communicated what
Captain Randolph had said TO the Captain of the
Poit, who Immediately had the Captain, mate,
and two OF his crew, arrested by soldiers,
and dragged TO prison like many felons.
Yankee man-of-war wanted his countrymen, 10
come ashore and get them. The next day, early
in the morning, Capt. Randolph had his ship hauled
IN as close as possible, the ships guns all loaded
and ready for action, and then sent ashore, by his
