KossUTH.

AV00OAA.
Much mystery hangs about the movements OF
the great Magyar. Conflicting and rather sur
prizins accounts are given as TO his conduct on
board the steam ship Mississippi. 1t appears
that a misunderstanding arose between kos>nth
and the officers of the vessel growing ont OF Kos
suth's proceedings At Marseilles, They were
anxious that. while on board q national ship, he
should do nothing which might compromise the
national government in its relations with friend
ly power. Captain Long made known these
wishes to KossUth, and requested him not 10
make any popular excitement in France, by issl'-
ing manifestoes. This requirement, together with
the refusal of the Freach Government to permit
him to pass to England through France, reused
the exeitahle temper of the Hungarian to the
highest pitch. and in letter to the United States
Consul at Marsei!les, who had done every thing
in his power TO serve ana ohlige him, he COM
planned bitterly and denounced his conduct and
that of Capt. Long. 1t this letter he says:
II will leave the ship at the first port atwAich
it will stop" which he justly sappo>cs will be
Gihraltey. II will then 60" he aads, '>hy some
private conveyance to the United States, and
make ny excuses for not having prohted by the
hospitality of Naur Government vessel, by The
Publication OF this letter, of which | have the
h0auy 10 send yoa copy, and Will confidently Il
wait the Judgment of the public opnioa Of the
tNDtea States"
From this conduct of KosSa,h it is inferred
th he never intended to come to the L. States;
As i Is certain that he has repeatedly expressed
desire TO go to England and remain there. with
view OF protecting his plans to effect q general
revolution in continental Europe and to give free
dom TO all people--which he supposes in his Mis-
sion, He is said TO make no secret OF his inteE-
ton TO raise funds for the purpose Of attacking
Austria and notwithstanding Europe.
II is further said that correspondence had
passed between Kossath and Commodore Nor
gan, commanding our Squadron in the Mcditerra-
mean, in which the former was distinctly inform
cd that the orders Of the Commodore were not 10
permit the Mississippi TO 20 to southampton, but
simply TO afford hun passage to the United
States Kossath took offence at the very proper
representations of Capt Long, and the informa-
ton derived from Commodore Morgan, and left
the ship and landed at Gibraltar. Advices from
Southampton brought by the last steam ship say
that he was expected there on the 9th of Otto-
Der. in the steamer Madrid from Gibraltar, and
that the most extensive preparations We're con-
tiaued, to give him hearty aud enthusiastic re-
cephon.
In the meantime the Mississippi will remain at
Gibraltar, and If Kossnth desires to come she will
convey him. All the accounts seem TO concur
that he viii visit This country only to raise means
for prosecuting his revolutionary projects and
not TO nake it his residence.
The people of The United States will be sorely
disappointed in the character of kossuth, If the
late accounts of his proceedings on board the
Mississippi are confirmed. His conduct in any
light in which it can be viewed, has been mos;
extraordinary, and has very justly been deemed
offensive TO the representatives of our country
abroad, who were sparng no pains to render him
all proper honor while they were ministering in
every possible way 10 his personal comfort on
board national vessel, sent by the government
to transport him from the land of his exile and
captivity TO the shores Of Freedom.
