Misunderstanding to the Gazette de Bresldu,
the Austrian government appears determined not
TO permit the liberation Of Kossuth, although the
Ottoman Porte is very anxious to set him free.
The friends of this distinguished man rely princi
pally, it says, on the proposition made by the Min
lister of the United States at Consantnople, by the
terms of which Kossuth is TO be set at liberty If he
will consent to go to the United States and stpu-
late not to return to Europe. 1t is not yet known
says the Gazette, whether the illustrous prisoner
will accept these conditions.

GREAT DEFEAT OF THE RUssIANs.-Letters from
Warsaw (according to the English papers) say
that the defeat of General Neiserow, at Serebric-
kow, and the flight of the Russians the plains of
Trihis, is unhappily more than true. The loss of
the army in men, ammunition, weapons, and
horses, is far greater than has been sustained for
years; nearly all the stronghods, which had been
conquered and maintained at such an immense ex-
pense, have been again lost. Report adds that one
of the commanders Of the Hungarian campaigns is
TO be commander in chief of the Caucasian army.

CARRYING LETTERs OUT or THE MAn.-This
practice continues, see, under the delusive idea
that there is power vested in the United States
officers TO interfere with it, The fact that IL has
not been prevented before this should not be taken
as conclusive evidence of concession the part
Of the Government of its Legality. For, even il the
Post Office law, which we cited a few days ago.
does not in express terms forbid it, il cannot be
denied that the packages containing these letiors
are liable to be opened by the custom house Of
fcers, on arriving at San Francisco, as coming
from Panama, a foreign country; and If 80 opened,
and the letters discovered the course of the colec
tor is explicitly prescribed by the law. He must
send them to the post Office, where the regular post
age is to be charged them, and thus no little de-
lay be interposed in their reaching their destna-
ton.
This mode of interference with the private trans
mission of letters may, at any moment, be put In
practice, and they who elect to send their letters
through such channels, instead Of the regular
mails, will but have themselves TO blame II they
shall incur delay, vexation, loss or other inconve-
nience as the consequence of their choice.
IL strikes US as being but very questionable econ
omy TO run all this risk rather than 10 pay the low
rate of postage now demanded by the law. il is
penny-wisdom and pound-ioolshness ON the part of
those who sustain the practice, and therefore il 10
that we do not believe that it can much longer be
carried on.-Nelo York Express
