Kossufh and Capt. Long,

We ccpy the following from the Cour-
,er and Enquirer of yesterday
In regard to Kossuth, our account of his con
dsct on board. and reception at Marselles, Is
official We repeat the circumstances precisely
as we received them, without comment. zap
tain Long assures us that no diihcuity Whatever
occurred betwcenth during the V0yage-that
the bearing Of The Magyar leader was IN keeping
with the depOrtment of a gentleman-and that
the details published from the London press, re-
aecting upon his demeanor, are pervefsonS OF
fact as were a. so the several letters which APP
reared originally III newspapers here, ana cal
culated TO lnillct gross and unlustliiabe injury.
From the time the steamer left Turkey until
she reached Gibraltar the utmost harmony pre-
vailed on board and the relations between the
Hunparians and the crew, including officers,
could not have been characterized by more una
nlmity of feeling, or a better understanding.
When the vessel put into the port a, Marsellcs,
Il became known to kossuth that cabai were
al work tOuSe him, If possible, t0 the overthrow
of the BOnaparte dynasty-th Is, afford excuse
to the Socialists and Red Republicans to seize
upon any exigency that might arse, consequent
upon the passage of the distinguished Magyar
through the French territory
Kossuth freely conferred with Captain Long
upon the sub Get and after this mutual consul
,atlon he declined leaving the vessel as ongl-
nally intended, until he had first obtained per
mission Of the French President. For this pur-
pose the contents of a note was telegfaphed to
Paris ana reply received, refusing TO grant the
remission asked. While this was tranSplrng,
the Socialists became Clamorous, and informed
Kossuth that if he would undertake the Journey,
they would conduct HIM TO any port on the Eng
hsh Channel he might designate, at the point oil
the bayonet and " hedge his passage with re-
serve OF a hundred thousand swords.
Kossuth persisted in declining the invitation,
although anxious TO get to England for the ben
eft OF his health, as soon "a possible ana 'hese
were circumstances which called lOIth the MAI
settles address, So frequently alluded TO. 1t was
at his instance, we are Informed, that captain
Long put to sea, and not the act OF the Cap'alh
without his wish and concurrence. Whatever
corporations the press have put forth have Oeen
the result of ignorance or malice
II has likewise been stated hat the Sultan was
unwilling 10 hberate kossuth until ne had
pledged himself not TO go 10 Eng and. ana tna'
such pledee was exacted from HIN before his
departure. This statement is most emphatcally
denied We have authority for saying that Slr
Stafford Canning, the British Ambassador at the
Sublime Porte extended the invitation Tor WISH
him sell, and assured koSsuth OF the sympathy
and fellowship that awaited him there Sull,
the exiled chief did not finally determine on TINS
movement until 1t had become obviously neces'
say-frst, 20 dlsprove the rumor above cited :;
his wife whose physical condition the hardshps
of the first two wears had made little better than
wreck.
These are, briefly, we are assured, the reasons
which guided HIM In gong to England. TO ex-
PLAN why the Mississippi put TO sea from Glib
ratar without him needs but word. His fol-
lowers had undergone long, tedious and bur
densome restraint Any further detention would
have compelled them 10 seek an asylum here IN
the midst of Winter, perhaps whereas, by be-
ing brought out Immediately, he rigors and Sc
verify OF December would be avoided. Capt.
Long would willingly have remained, but he did
no, feel at liberty to resist an argument ad-
dressed To him IN tins guise, and consequently
was constrained 10 leave without the ex-Sov'
srnOr
Numerous incidents Of the voyage have come
to our knowledge, affecting the charactero OF Kos
suth, which we would willingly detail, could we
afford the space for that purpose. Al Gibraltar,
the S5th 18th, Goth and nth regiments OF the
British army stationed there, rendered HIM
complimentary dinner, which he declined untll
every follower Ia his suite had received similar
invitation, and only then would accept their nos
pltality This trait shows that the devotion
manifested is not confined strictly 10 one side.
On quitting the Mississippi, he wrote feeling
letter to Captain LoNG, rendering him his CRATE
tul thanks for the manner IN which he had &C
quilted himself toward HIM, and lnclOsng note
which he desired NIGH; be read to the crew,
conveying like expressions of gratitude We
took especial pains 10 exact correct information,
and hU, one sentiments seems to prevail on
board, that koSSUTH Is deserving OF all the es-
TEEN ana personal respect which may have at
tached TO HIM, and that stories, counteracting
this impression, are undeserylng the slightest
attention
