We have as bad, or ,eorse tories in America fe
lan in Europe. Men whose very nostrils turn ro
D in disgust at the thought of democrat
.ossuth addressed himself "to the democrats Of III
iarseilles" He never said achig once. le to
ats and drinks with ''publicans and sinners = lha
e mixes freely with the poor followers who ST
ought so brayely by his sidc-he does not tor W
ret to feel with and for those whose misortunes re
lave made them dependent on HIM ana the Fl
vorld-he hugs the old and lettering soldier 10 10
lis bosom-he clasps the little orphans III his at
arms and handles them on his knee, ctean o. fir
tirfg-he speaks consoling words to the berett tc
mother and bids her trust in God and Liberty. S
lie addresses the thousands and tens OF thou
sands of the friends of liberty, who meet him at O
every point with an enthusiasm almost unpara'ic- ri
Ird-and behold how dcspotism quakes, irem-
bles and stiles the impulses of liberty as they Il
swell in the bosoias of the oppressed.
But who could have believed that .4lncrscans
abroad-msn in The employment of government C
would be found uniting with the Dcspots OF En- c
rope, in defaming Democrats, If any body ,
doubted it before, they will doubt no longer i'll i
ter reading the following infamous letter rom an
7ttachc of the American Government, paid Tor
his blackguard services cut oil the A!iicricah
Treasury What friend of European freedom
but must blush for his country, while such tools
of despotsm are permitted to msrcpresent the
toades to tyranny must be swept from all con
ncction with our foreign delegations, as you
would brush vermn from the sick patient We
want young, vigorous democratic President,
who will secure for our foreign ministers and
attaches, men who will be as bold, and proud,
and jealous defenders of freedom and rcpubh- |
| canism, while absent from American soil, as
when safe upon it.
Worse than all, the wing organs at Washing
on (>ity enft ba Lott mud recommend
it to the people worthy of their favorable at
teation The administration at Washington,
! was sunk low enough before in the pit OF public
condemnation, but still it seems there is a lower
depth for them to crawl into.

be folly-it exposes ITSELF and will be pronoun-
ced disgrace to the nation and the age-liay

Letter from an. American Attache--Alleagcd mis-

To the Editors Of the .Neao York Daily Times:
beg leave to enclose you the following letter
received from an attache in Government SER
vice travelling abroad; gentleman OF cool ludg-
ment, mature reflection and keen observation.
Very truly, Yours,

PAnIs, Tuesday, Oct. Z, 1851.
/, reached Marseillcs two days
before Kossuh, and not only saw and converscd
+ with him but had an excellent opportunity OF
knowing and hearing good deal of him. They
are making great preparations tor his reception
in England, and perceive you are doing the
same in the United States, and you viii. there
fore probably think it is very ungraclous in Ele
: to say that he is humbug and a demagogue OF
the first water. His conduct since being on
board the frigate Mississippi has been un i,Isti-
fable in the highest degree, and am yet afraid
he will get us into trouble before he leaves here.
u He began his proceedings on arriving at Smyr-
= ma, with his speeches, and intended to land
q there, contrary to the express agreement with
n the Turkish government when he was liberated,
that he should not land in its dominions; and to
! have done would have been gross violation
!; of faithon his part, as also on the part of the
; American commander had he permitted 1T. 10
: prevent it, as well as to avoid trouble with the
authorities, the frigatc promptly dropped down
from the city and went TO sea as quick as posi-
! Bile. At Spezza he got up such an excitement
that the authorities became alarmed and re-
ouested the Commodore to order the ship to sea,
. which course was almost recommended by our
Charge to Turin, and she left there without
, taking in her coal that she 50 much needed. On
his arrival at Marseilles, probably, from 5000 to
10000 Italian refugees, who are about as despe-
rate a set of men as could well be congrcgatcd
together; there is also large body OF Social
} lists ready for any thing, and the whole only
kept down by strong garrison OF |Ooo 10 oooo
men, To these people he at once commenced
$ with his intlamatory addresses not only verbally
but through violent Social papcr"l,c Peup'e.
! In his address to the people of Marseilles, pub
lished in that paper, he is highly disrespectiul
to tile President of the Republic and the French
Government, and grossly insults them by say
ing they do not represent the sentiments of the
c nation; and this address is dated on hoard the
.7merican frigatc! Capt. Long, of the Nlsss-
n sippi, respectfully demonstrated with him on
J, sue publications, as they were committing the
d American flag, and he replied that he differed
in opinion that point, and that as he had dit
fcrent views about compromising the flag, he
: would relieve him from any fears on that head,
e by requesting him to land him whenever he
pleased. Our Consul, MIR, Hodge, who has
0 acted with great judgment and tact throughout
s the whole proceedings, and who is greatly re
e spectcd and esteemed in Marseilles, wrote to
A him to the same effect, and requested that he
would abstain from future public actions of the
; kind, but without any satisfactory reply; and
> he even preferred a complaint against Captain
Long because he walked the deck of his ship
without lifting his cap to those in the surround
ing boats who were cheering him tx ossuth.) y
2 The Project wrote to the Consul advising him
> of the refusal of the government to allow Kos
, suth to travel In France, and the Consul sent
! tn. original letter on board the frigatc merely
for the perusa of ko.s th,when he in the most I'M
justfable manner sent it to the socialists jour
, nails for publication, where it appeared with
some inllammatory remarks, for which and the
! publication of Kossuth's address to the people
of Marscilles thai paper seized and shut up
!, The publication OF the letter of the Project
committed the Consul, for III France such a
! proceeding is considered as a gross breach of
propriety' but it was promptly explained by MIR.
Hodge to the Project by stating that it was done
f without his knowledge consent. An order
was then issued forbdding the landing again Of
t Kossuth or any Of his followers, which these
, latter pretended to consider as insult to the
, American flag, and became quite clamerous
, with Capt Long on the subject, who very coolly
, told them that the honor Of the flag was in his
keeping, and he knew how TO protect that hon.
or without their prompting.
i 1t was the first visit ever paid to an Ameri-
can ship in which l felt humbied and
mortified. Kossuth's followers consist of
"Jews, Gentiles, and Infidels, and can be dcs-
ignated only as-I will not say what Some Of
them are the fithiest of the filthy, and to see
them and their changers on and their children
as they appeared about the deck, was, to say
the least, disgusting. They all living like
fighting cocks upon the best of everything ;
nothing but the finest wines, and the oldest
brandy and rum will suit, which they swallow
in the greatest abundance at the expense of the
United States Capt. Long and his officers
bear it all admirably and like perfect philoso-
pliers, though ready to tear out their hair by
the roots from sheer modification and shame
believe you are acquainted with Capt Long,
and hope you will see him when he reaches
home, and ask him some Of the officers of
| the ship, for short detail Of the incidents since
these s'illustrious exiles" embarked. He was
very prudent and quiet while at Marseilles,
though some of his officers gave free vent to
their feelings when among their countrymen,
and although Capt Long said nothing, | can
well imagine what he felt at being, it were,
chased out of three different ports in consc-
quence Of the behavior Of the guest he had on
board, notwithstanding his respectful remon-
strances to him on the suject The presence of
an American ship-of-war has heretofore always
been hailed in the different ports Of the Medit
| erranean with the highest satisfaction, and the
| recent visit of the Mississippi; is the first cx
| ceptlon to this rule for very long course of
years
ought to mention incident upon her ar
