kOssuth's Views of our Foreign Policy,

kossuth has written long and eloquent letter
addressed to the Charge d. Afaires of the United
States at Constantnople in which he speaks in very
sad terms of his present situation of the reacherous
and cruel manner in which Turkey has dealt to-
wards him. and of the desperate chances of his lib
Grafton. In referring to the intervention of the u
S. Government in his behalf, and of the policy di-
rectng its conduct towards foreign states, he utters
this pregnant passage:
j. must frankly tell you that have anticipated
the failure of your negotiation. The Turkish Gov
eminent yields but to fear or to protection and it
must be fully aware that whatever NAV he the pow

and no protection to hope from them nothing, be-
cause your Government. your legislative bodies all

claim, every once again and again, that non-nter-
vention in European matters is the first fundamen-
tai principle of the political system of the United
States. TO be sure wise were the men who estab-
lished this principle, and wise were the men who
followed it. 1t was necessary for the founda-

KossUTH AND THE REFUGEES. Several convoca-
tions of the ministers have assembled at the Sub
lime Porte for the purpose of taking into consdera-
ton the refugee affair Finally. it has been decided
that the few remaining refugees here should be ex-
PEELED from the country. Their number is about
700. Yesterday they were invited to the police Office
and offered free passage to the United States, with
G5 allowance money. This measure has been much
condemned, being attributed to the nefarious infu-
ence of Russia.
Kossuth and his party have received authorization
to prepare to quit their uncomfortable quarters at
Kuteyhia by the first of September. A Government
steamer will convey them far as Malta, where
they will be handed to the British authorities
Their detention will have exceeded two years, and
during the whole of that long term they have been
literally provided for by the Turkish Government.
