BEHAVIOUR TO CAPT. LONG

about the Hungarian exile, have been gathered from
different worthy OF considerations and to be
relied upon. These details have not been published
| in England
| Let me begin on the shores of Italy, at Spezzia
where Captain Long arrived with the Mississippi on
The 2lst of September not only TO take the orders of
Commodore Morgan but also 10 receive coal to con
| tlnue his voyage. When the Mississippi arrived at
the Italian port, and soon the presence of Kos
| suth was known there, the wouid-be patriots OF the
city rowed into the harbor and gathered around the
American frlgate, and called out the tungarans who,
despite the solicitations aud circumstances OF Cap
tain Long, the deck, joined in the shouts ard
doubled the excitement. kossuth, himself, instead
OF keeping quiet, assembled the elevated portion of
| the upper deck, and harangued the crowd, Ga the
| same evening, the whole city of Spezzla was ilumi-
mated; and on the next morning, about SUNRISE hun
dreds OF boats came round, loaded with people, hold
ing banners and singing songs OF The most exciting
| demagogulcal character. Kossuth was again on the
| eve OF appearing, when Commodore Morgan, after a
conference with the Governor of Spezzia ordered the
frgate TO sail mmel lately, though Captain Long had
| not vet taken in all the necessary coal.
What to be done ? 1t was not possible to
| reach Gibraltar, and CAPTAIN Long thought pru-
dent to go to Marseilles, supposing thtt there
| would be any cause to excite the mob there. The
Mississippi arrived at Marseiles the 18th u and
as she was in sight of the Shore koSsuh APP
red to Captain Long, requesting him to allow him 10
land as he could possibly do it This was re-
fused by Captain Long, on the reasonable and proper
| ground that he had no authority to do The pilot
soon board, and also the American Consul
residing In Marse!es-Mr John l.. Hodge-to whom
The Consul went Immediately to the Prefecture and
there begged NJ de Saban, the Governor OF the State
to grant the request of the passenger of the Missss
pl. This refused; but NJ Saban, on the renewal
of the demand of Mr.. Hodge, sent telegraphc des-
patch to M Leon Faucher the present Minister of the
Interior, which was Immediately replied to- refusing
the permission. In the meantime, M Saban had per-
mltted Kossuth and his comrades to come on shore,
under the special guarantee OF the Consul-frs that
they would not quit the city and escape through
France-seeond that they would wear no uniform or
OF danv
KIND OF disturbance and occasions to create it
These conditions had been soemny sworn TO by all
OF the trgate Mississippi. Kossuth not ready to
go In the first boat; when the other exies became in
solen and declared to Captain Long that they would
not wait for the Governorn-chief and that thew would
go on shore before him They also added that thev
were all equal and that they had no 'chief' and
that kossuh was emo more than one of them This
was, OF course, unnoced by Captain Long, who had
orders to obey, and who let them shout as loud and
discuss as long as they pleased They did not
go to Narseiles before Kossuh who landed first at
the office of La Sante at the entry of the port of Mar
settles
Previous to Kossuh's landing the ex-leader of the
Hungarian had received many visitors board and
| among them several Italian refugees partsans OF
| Mazzinl, had communicated with HIM and received
private instructions views and plans for the u
ture, and ofhs design to return to Hungary
an opportunity occurred Tor him TO do So Consequent
ly hay returned on shore where they prepared every
| thing to receive kOssuth IN great triumph
The Hungarian chief did not first attract mu ch item
| ton his landing in the city OF .Narsees. He peac
ably retired to of the no els and awaited the an.
swer OF The Minister of Interior. 1t arrived the next
morning; and Kossuth knew that he deni-
ed passage through France he manifested his intention
| 10 return the Mississippi. This took place on Sun
day the 2Sth and the ofhs leaving the city spread
as quick as lightning. Immediately the Mazznians
| ollowed him TO the shore and embark ed after him in
all the boats they abe TO hire, carrying banners
in their hands and shoutngVIvE KossUTH INVEST LES
ETATs UNrs! VIvE LA REPuBLIQUE VGvE La DEMO
cRATIQUE! and other enthusiastic hurrahs and shouts
On the same evening, the newspapers Of Marseilles
belonging to the party Of the Rouges published man
ifesto, sort OF proc amation, written by Kossuth and
directed TO the people of MarsellIes which has been
repub llshed in all the newspapers OF France and En-
gland Its authenticity has been denied by several
newspapers Of London; but is we'll known here that
1t was genuine arllce 1 have seen the original in
the office OF the Journal LIE Peupe, and declare it
no forgery. 1t is upon the same paper which have
taken kossuth signature which L send to the Herald
in this envelope I'VE have the signature in our
procession at the Herald office
., Three Of the officers Of the Hungarian roop-Louis
Iovork, Frater and kalapza-who did not return with
Kossuth conceived the unfortunate idea oil promena-
ding the streets OF Narseles, dressed in their uni
forms. Ihey entered the Cate Bodoul, public es-
Enlistment in the Rue ST. FerTeo, where instantly
they were surrounded by an immense crowd, which
cheered them with huzzas and shouts The police
were, finally, OBJ ICED to interfere and induce them
leave the place by back door, behind the Rue st.
Ferreol. This unforeseen and much to be regretted
excitement compelled the Project, M. Saban to write
a very polite letter to the American Consul, Mr..
Hodge requesting him not to permit any OF the
Hungarians to land on French territory. 1t was ne
ecssary for him to take such step for there are about
ten thousand refugees of all nations at MarseiIes who
though not dreaded by the authorizes are, neverhe.
less, roous enough 10 be considered dangerous exam
PIES Mr. Hodge, on the receipt of this letter of NJ.
Saban went on board the Mississippi and showed it 10
Kossuth, who, after its perusa, said with much anger
TO the American Consul that it was an insult to Anne
RIGA, and that he Mr. Hodge, ought to notice it, and
withdraw the sign and flag Of the United States from
his door till he should have received apologies from NJ
Saban.
In the meantime, the Red Republican journal, lie

ture and burnt, whilst the Procureur Of the republic
issued warrant against the writer of the article who
was accused oil rebellion against the government and
