sailed from Norfolk, and she has been constantly

The independence has been an object of great
admiration at Trieste. The whole place has poured
| forth to visit her.
The Mississippi came into port on the evening of
the Sd. She has just returned from taking the
Unite States Consul, John Howard Payne, from
Marseilles to Tunis lthe same service by the bye,
he consul before) and was, of course, compelled
to ride at quarantine with "the yellow flag at her
fore" much to the vexation of her officers, espe-
cialy as the quarantine was of but two days dura-
ton. Yesterday morning dozen of her officers
took the steamer to Venice, and did myself the
pleasure to accompany the United States Consul at
Trieste on board of her. All hands were busily
engaged in unmooring her, and warping her to the
dictap Of mil two fr0m IN fit O a
to port orders-a labor by no means trfing, requir
ing her ponderous anchor to be torn from the tena-
ciOus clay Of Trieste harbor, and one utterly USE
less. Tne Austrian authorities seem hardly aware
that she csn batter their town about their as
easily now with her huge Paixhans as she could
before. The Constitution was compelled to draw
of in the same manner. The period of the stay of
frigate is also limited by port order, and she mas
to declare the extent of her visit, and its object,
when she first arrives. Captain Long and officers
are all in good health and the steamef is in splen-
did condition. She left the United States two
years ago, passed last winter at Naples, and has
since visited Spezzia, Leghorn, Marseilles, Port
Mahon, Gibraltar, Cadiz. Tangier, Naples, Messina
and Tuns. Her destination on leaving Trieste, a
fortnight hence, is supposed to be Constantinople,
to await the instructions of Mr.. Marsh, and the
decisions of all parties relative to kossuth-hs own
decision included. Both frigates are in expectation
of being relieved on this station, and returning to
officers of Of the vessels, if not Of both, will be
gratiEed in this anticipation.
The Lexington storeshp has been expected
in the Mediterranean but it Is now unaer,
stood she sails for the Pacific. 1t is supposed
that either the Independence or the Mississippi
probably the latter vessel-wll run over to Venice
in few days, to make brief visit, and receive on
board the remains Of the late American Consul, for
the purpose of conveying them around to Spezza,
or to the United States. The Austrian government,
it is rue forbids the frgatcs to enter the port OF
Venice, (exactly as if they could do SO If they
would, one drawing twenty four feet OF water, and
the other seventeen,) but there is capital anchor
age Just ontside the Lido, in seven fathoms, at
least at all events, four British line OF battle ships
found it during the winter blockade OF lSli, aud
so did the British frigate Terrible in the summer
of 1919, and the United States steamer Princeton
in that Of iSi5.
am unable to give list of the officers of the
Mississippi, and can only name her gallant Captain
John C.. Long; her Fist Lieutenant, William G.
Chaplin; Acting Lieutenant, William Nelson J;

Blaeknall; Puiscr Etting; Engineer Say; .aaa
MiGshilman Young. Nearly all Of then have
gone over to Venice, which old place ems to have
peculiar charm for everybody who approaches it.
Yesterday afternoon, Com mmodore Morgan gave
grand dinner party on board the Independence, and
the splendid table bore undeniable testimony to
the genius Of the Commodore cook, as did the
extraordinary excellence of his wines, to his own
taste and Judgment in their selection. This dinner
was, in truth. a most magnificent affair, and got
up in prncey style In every particular. During
its continuance, the guests were entertained with
airs by the fngate's superb band The most po-
tential Of the Austrian personsges present We're
General Baron dc Rath, Acting Military Governor
of Trieste, aud Commander Of the Forces Port
Admiral de Bujaeoyich; Count karoly, Captain OF
the new ffigate Noyara, and Major Moering, of the
Imperial In gineers All these dgnit aries were at
tended by their aids, and were all most gorgeously
attred in the full uniforms of their rank. Fleet
Admiral Dahlrup sent regret, on account Of i'll
ness. And then there was the tall Captain OF al
Austrian brig Of war now in the harbor, whose
name forget; an 4 one or two others whose names

modere Morgan, (the finest looking man in the
crowd, by all manner OF odds); Captain Long, Of
the Mssissppi; Captain Jamson, Of the lnde-
pendence; LeuteDants Minor and Drayton; aud
the United States Consus Of Trieste aud Venice.
The Governor Of Trieste is large, joyal man, Of
sixty, with a fearfully red nose; the Port Admiral,
a short, fat old fellow, very like a Dutch burgo-
master; Major Moering, tall, fine looking. about
mate friend Of Archduke John; and at the Diet Of
Frankfort, In 1873, belonged TO the extreme lett.
But the character among the Austrian guests was
evidently Count karolly, Captain Of the Noyara, q
young man of twenty SIX, tall, handsome, exceed
ingly graceful, winning in manners, and said to be
as accom- plishei gentleman as a seaman. lie

shame is that of patriotism, or all these guests
assembled around Commodore Morgsn's splendid
beard only two Of the Austrians (Aloenng and
ksrolly) could speak a word Of English, and only
three out Of the seven A nericans could speak a
word beside their own language. But good wine,
