Elk Consul Owen publishes a letter in the
National Intelligencer relative to his conduct
as consul during the Lopez expedition excite
ment. He says he has been harshly assailed,
bitterly denounced and shamefully traGuced
before the American people. He asserts that
it is not true that he took no steps to prevent
their execution, and that he did not know of
their capture until after their execution that
he did not refuse to act until after their con-
demnation; and that their desire to see him
was not made known to him. He expressed
desire to serve them, but was unable, pos
sessing no more power in his official capacity,
than any other citizen. He publishes note
addressed to Gov. Coneha, requesting that the
lives of the prisoners might be spared, and an
answer from that authority, peremptorily for
bidding any interference, and insisting upon
the execution of the sentence also a letter
from Capt. Platt and Lieut.. Taylor, contra
dieting Capt. Kelley's statement conc erning his
(Owen's) conduct, and another letter to Con-
cha, asking that the prisoners friends might
visit them, and beseeching kindness and hu-
mainly. In an interview Concha declared his
determination to pardon the prisoners, and
the next day, without the consurs knowledge,
shot them. As for the remaining men ne haa
administered to their wants, and paid many OF
their bills out Of his own purse. He also en-
deavors to exonerate himself from the charge
of neglecling Mr.. Thrashcr.-Post

Attempt to Compromise
Kossuth. --.-

After Kossuth had embarked on board the
Humboldt, on his way to this country, and
while several of his English friends were on
board for the purpose of taking their leave, he
drew from his pocket small parcel which he
remarked had been sent to him with note con-
tanning the singular request that he should not
open the package until he was on his way to
America. The conversation which ensued is
thus reported in an English paper:
"Now | look upon the circumstance as not
little strange, and during the silence of the
last five minutes, | have been considering the
matter. For one so crcumstanced as | am, it
is necessary that should not leave your hos
pltable shores with anything like secret from
my English friends. Ihave therefore resolved
to open this parcel, "a movement of anxious
ness,) and then | shall judge whether am at
liberty to make its contents public"

from the envelope thin book (post octavo) ,
bound in maroon, colored CLOTH After CLAN

and also to preach TO that great people against

and fearless in preaching through the United
States against war and slavery, and yet, gen

holiness and fearlessness to append his or their
names TO the request. | have no doubt this
was done with view of compromising myself
