Difaeuity Between Kossuth and lapt.l

Difficulty Between Kossuth and fapt.
The Newark Daily Advertiser ptDlish-
es letter, dated Marseilles, which states
that Kossuth was much excited.t the
Prefectof the city allowing him 20 land
only on condition that no DEMONSTRATION
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 den'unces the
Consul and Capt. Long of The frigate
Mississippi, saying that he would leave
I the ship at'the first port shestopped, and
that he would proceed by p'iyate convey
ance to the United States, The writer
of the letter to the Advertiser thinks
there is no Just cause for .tuch conduct on
the part of Kossuth, and doubts if he ey-
er intended visiting America.
KossUTH's MovEMRNTs-It is doubtful
If the next steamer frorl Liverpool brings
us any accounts of Kossuth's arrival
there. He was not expected at South
ampton before the 25th of October.
His non-arrival at England on Monday,
the 18th, was the cause of great disap-
pointment to the Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil of that borough, where great prepare
lions had been made for his reception,
land also to thousands of strangers who
went there TO gNe him q hearty welcome
J By the Mediterranean screw steamer
IAmo, Captain Haram, which arrived at
Liverpool on the 18th of October, we
learn that the great Magyar had arrived
at Gibraltar In the american steam
frigate Mississippi. Kossuth was anxious
to take passage in the Arno for himself,
family and attendants, party of fifty
seven persons, but he stipulated that the
Arno should land him at Southampton.
With this condition Captain Haram was
unable to comply, and the Hungarian
chief was left on board the Mississippi.
He would embark in the first steamer for
Southampton.
A Paris letter of October 18th, says:
The Austrian Court has. it is oaid On
good authority, given orders to Baron
Roller, the Ambassador to the court of
st. James, to demand his passports, and
to immediately quit London the mo-
mcnt KOssuth arrives and is received pub
licly at Southampton.
Meantime, a fresh delay has occurred
in the movements of Kossuth, and he
has left the steamer Mississippi and land
ed at Gibraltar, where he intends to
will proceed to England. The Austrians
may nab him yet and carry him back, to
undergo immediate and ignominious ex-
ccution, if he does not take care. Kossuth
is not safe unless in England or America /;
and when he left the national steamer, he
left the protection of America. True it
is, that England possesses Gibraltar, but
when he leaves that place in a private
ship, he will be assailable. Fortunately
for him, Austria has no fleets or marine
of any account, or he would certainly be
arrested on his journey.
Mr.. RivcS, our Minister at Paris, told
me to-day, that he had received accounts
from the American Consul at Marseilles
of the circumstances l have above men,
toned. l knew it before the news had
spread among the Americans like wild
fire. 1t appears that a misunderstand
ing arose between Kossuth and the Off
GERS of the Mississippi, arising from Kos
suth's proceedings at Marseillcs. They
were anxious, naturally enough, that he,
while on board a national ship, should do
nothing which might compromise the
:, stional government, in respect to its re-
it is said, took offence at G tii, sr NoSSuen
representation, and left the ship ana
1t is very probable kossuth has been
led to an error of Judgment.
Kossuth, it appears, in his letter to the
Mayor of Southampton, explains the mat
ter differently, and implies that he left
the Mississippi, because the captain in
sisted upon steaming direct for New York,
without calling at Southampton. The re-
port above referred to has been contra
dicted by the Frankfort Journal but the
contradiction is not. worth much, and is
more diplomatic than true.
Hon. r. j. Walker, late United States
Secretary of the Treasury, has written a
letter to the Town Clerk of Southampton,
in answer to an invitation to be present at
the Kossuth banquet, accepting the invi-
tation and expressing his high opinion of
the Hungarian leader.
