Austrian Charge dAffares, conveyed to him, in the
most definite and positive language, the determine

be free TO 60 wherever they may choose.
In consequence of this, the Porte, at the request

has informed him that at the period stated he will
be entirely at liberty to 60 where he pleases out
OF the Ottoman Empire; and that an American
and an English steamer will be at the Dardanelles
TO receive him and his friends. AS M. Kossuth
has informed the American Legation here of his
intention of going to the United States, and of ac-
cepting the generous offer of the American Gov

as well as few others, who will proceed to
France
