said very little under the circumstances he
acknowledged these compliments as a man
should do: expressed his undying love for his
own country, and bis sympathy with freedom
everywhere Very few persons were per-
mitted to come on board the ship, and no
apprehension was entertained OF any dim
Guilty whatever. The absurd fabrication
that KossurH preferred a complaint against
Capt LONG for not lifting hrs cap to those
who were cheering him (kossUTH) is one
of the overdone statements of the Atache
which threw discredi, upon the whole letter
the moment it saw the light.
Of the gross and elf.evident falsehoods
in the Attachc's letter concerning the ap-
pearance of kossuTH's companions, We
need not speak. Suffice it to say. that the
eXiles on board the Mississippi are, so far
as we have seen, land we saw nearly all of
them,) fine, intelligent men, whose appear
ance is the best contradiction of such mis-
statements.
When KossurH found that he would not
be allowed to 20 through France, he con-
cluded to 90 to Gibraltar and thence TO
England as he did When he left the
Mississippi he was honored with the attend
auce of the whole ships company he
made short address and shook them all by
the hand, and so great was the esteem IN
which he was held that scarcely one of the
hardy seamcn could refrain from tears.
As he wens off in the boat toward the Brit
ish packet. three hearty, spontaneous cheers
were given by the entire assembly on the
decks of the Mississippi.
II was thus that LorTs koSSUrH left the
u. S. steam-f rigate Mississippi, carrying
with him the warm good feelings of
every officer and seaman, cheered 70 the
last by the voluntary homage Of admiring
hearts, and leaving no "wOrd which, DYING
he could wish TO blot " in all his intercourse
with the representatives, of our Govern
ment Such being tho case, and the whole
of these reports proving merely slanderous,
the officers of the frigate, as well As their
guests. are relieved of all imputations, 1t
being apparent that they have discharged
most honorable duty in manner worthy Of
themselves and of their nation.
OF Kossuth's proceedings from the day
he lett Gibraltar to the 2Sth nit. IN England
we have heretofore given full accounts. As
to the reasons which induced him to decline
returning to the Mississippi, the following
letter to the Mayor of our City Will satisfy
every reasonable mind
