We have read with much inSsfeatA num-
Der Of documents, first Publ,shcd In the
New York Daily Times. pertaining to the
difficulty between kossu,h and Capt. Long,
Of the steamship Mississippi. II will he re.

John s. Hodge. The Times states that
the action of our Government in sending
for kossu,h and his companions met with
the serious disapproba,on OF Mr.. Hodge !
that Com. Morgan Of the Mediterranean
squadron was opposed to detaching any Of
his vessels, particularly the Mississippi, for
the purpose; and tina. Capt. Long was oP'
posed to going in her. IT, moreover, very

loving FAVOR.
