KOSSUTH.

to land only on condition that demonstrations
should be made and also at the conduct of the French
government The letter: states that Kossuth has
addressed rather an abusive letter to the American
Consul at Marseilles, in which he denounces the
Consul, and Captain Long of the frgate Mississip-
p, saying he would leave the ship at the first port at
which she stopped, and proceed by private convey
ance to the United States. The Baltim ore Sun, no.
ticing these statements, says:
The above is certainly Indicative of someth ing
which may mar somewhat the " distinguished con-
sideraton of the American people for the illusri
Gus exiIe-a thing which they themselves would be
very 10th to have occur. There is, perhaps, some
misunderstanding in the case, which, when explain
ed, may modify its aspect. Kossuth, in the enthu-
sasm of his nature, and admiration of the liberalty
of the United States towards him. may have expected
too much, hence great disappointment and chagrin
were likely ensue when he found it necessary
to circumscribe his movements. Yet the United
States officers bound to preserve its neutrality.
A Paris latter of October IL, says:
.The Austrian Court has, it is said on good au-
thority, given orders Baron Roller, the Ambassa
dor from Austria to the Court of St. James, to de-
and his passports and to Immediately quit London
the moment Kossuth arrives and is received publicly
at Southampton. -'a. ..-' i.s
Meantime, fresh delay has occurred in the move
ments of Kossuth, and he has left the Msss-
sippi and landed Gibraltar, where he intends to
await private conveyance, by which he will pro-
coed to England. The Austrians may nab him yet
minious execution, if he does not take care. Kos
suth is not safe unless in England or America and
when he left the national steamer he LET. the pro-
lection of America. True it is that England posses.
ses Gibraltar; but Wien he leaves that place in a
private SHIP, ne will be assaable Fortunately for
him, Austria has no fleets marine of any account,
or he would certainly be arrested on his journey.
Mr.. Rives, Minister at Paris, told me, to-day,
that he had received accounts from the American
Consul at Marsees of the circumstance have above
mentioned. knew it before the news had spread
among the Americans like wild-fre. 1t appears that
misunderstanding between Kossuth and the
officers of the Mississippi, arising from Kossuth's
proceedings Marseilles. They were anxious,
turally enough, that he, while board national
ship, should do nothing which might compromise
the national government, in respect to its relations
with friendly power. Kossuh, it is said, took Of
fence at these very proper representations, and left
the ship and landed at Gibraltar.
Kossuth it appears in his letter to the Mayor of
Southampton, explains the matter differently and
plies that he left the Mississippi because the cap
tain insisted upon steaming direct for New York,
without calling at Southampton. The report above
referred has been contradicted by Frankfort jour-
nal but the contradiction is not worth much, and is
more diplomatic than true.
lion. r. J. Walker, late U. S. Secretary of the
Treasury, has written letter to the Town Clerk of
Southampton in answer to invitation to be pres
ent at the Kossuth banquet, accepting the invitation
and expressing high opinion of the Hungarian
leader.''
We give the foregoing statements for what they
are worth.
The Austrian Lloyds, semi-oficial journal of the
Austrian Cabinet, has the following IN its issue of
the IIth October:
"The ovatons which now under preparation
in England in honor of Austrian subject guilty
of treason to his sovereign. and of having gnited the
flame of revolution in his native country, do not a.
rouse our indignation 10 any great extent. We feel
pity mixed with uncommon contempt for the stupid,
wefattened (sfupiden acohk5enastefen) aldermen of
SOUTHAMPTON and London
The New York Herald of the LIST says that des-
patches have been received at the Navy Department
from Commodore Morgan, which renders 1t doubtful
whether Kossuth will visit America. 1t is said that
| Kossuth makes secret of his intention to raise
funds in England and France, for the purpose of
lacking Austria and revolutionizing Europe. The
avowa of this ntention is stated constituted the
reason for which the French authorities refused to
allow him to land.
