KOSSUTH'S LIBERATION.

The correspondence between the Baron Klezt
Austrian Ambassador, and the Turkish government
on the subject of Kossuth's Liberation by Turkey,
has been published. We copy the more impor,an,
paragraphs OF the first Austrian letter, which is dat
ed July 90, 1851:
"The Sublime Porte, under all manner of pretexts,
and taking up its position Interpretation of the
agreement, which has not been assented by the i'm
peal cabinet, resolves longer to take account of
the engagements which it entered into in the most
solemn manner, nor held the righteous and we'll
grounded objections made to its proposed course. 1t
persists in it's intention set at liberty Kossnt and
his dangerous companions at the very moment when
his Imperial Majesty has sought to give to his
ereign neighbor proofs of his wish to maintain
good understanding with him, in the nomination OF
Count Rechberg to the post of charge d'atfairs in
Constantinople.
On all these grounds, and in consideration that the
Sublime Porte has proceeded so far as to commence
the execution of its design of liberatng Kossuth and
his companions at kutayah, the undersigned feels
compelled protest against the Liberation of kossuth
and the other detenus of the aforementioned city.
The undersigned repeats his declaration which he
took occasion to make the 18th of February of
this year, namely, that the departure of any of the
detained persons from kutayah, without the previ-
ously obtained acquescence of the imperial Austrian
Government, will be regarded as beach of the a.
greement concluded between Austria and Turkey
upon the subject of their detention as an event hic
must draw after the destruction of that good under
standing which has hitherto existed between the two
governments.
1t is impossible that the Sublime Porte can shut
its eyes to the fact that by such msapprehension
of its duties (as we'll of the dictates of wise
policy,) such fragrant reputation of its own assur-
ance, such complete obliviousness of all the proofs
of real friendship evinced BY the imperial govern
ment, which fill the annals of its history, the most
painful necessities will be imposed on this Court,
arising out Of its doubts of the sincerity of the in
tentions of the Sublime Porte, while finally such
proceeding as that now complained Of will COM
pieteiy justify Austria, in presence of impending
questions, to consider nothing but her own interest
in her relations with the Turkish empire.''
To this Ali Pacha, Turkish Minister for Foreign
Affairs, replied, on the 18th August, in firm and
dgni6ed tone, maintaining that there was no reason
for longer OBTAINING Kossush, and concluding thus
''Conscious, therefore, that in no particular has it
been wanting to its engagements, the government of
his majesty, the Sultan, does not surrender the hope
that, after candid reconsideration of the facts. and
just appreciation of what obviously be the de-
sire of the Sublime Porte, to put an end to a situa-
tion fraught with difficulties and dangers, the Impe-
rial Cabinet will attain the conviction that the
Sultan cannot depart from the resolution he has
taken. "
The reply to this brief and pointed, holding
the Turkish government responsible for the conse-
quences of Kossuth's liberation.
