The warlike intelligence brought by the steam
ship Washington will attract general attention. 1t
would seem as though the Emperor of Russia had,
indeed been playing the game attributed to him by
the liberal press--namely, that of procrastinating
matters, so gain time in which to fortify his
position in the principalties, without any sincere
wish for peaceful arrangement. War seems al
most inevitable. The next arrival will be anxi GUS
" looked for. Something decisive must soon be
known.
We find in the Northern papers the correspon'
dence between Mr.. HULsEMAN, the Austrian Charge
and Mr.. MARCY, the American Secretary of State
in regard to the KoszTA affair. The concluding par
agraph of the Austrian letter is as follows:
The imperial government entertains too high an
opinion of the justice and OF integrity of the
government of the United States to doubt for sim
gle instant its anxiety to disavow the conduct of its
agents under the circumstances above mentioned,
and that it will hasten to call them to severe ac-
count and tender to Austria satisfaction proper
tomato to the magnitude of the outrage.
The position of the United States, assumed by
Mr.. MARCY. may be fully understood from the clos
ing paragraph of his reply, in which he says
ssThe President does not see sufficient cause for
disayowing the acts of the American agents which
are complained of by Austria. Her claim tor salts
faction on that has beer carefully consider
ed and Is respectfully ueCllneu
Being convinced that the seizure and lmprlsOn-
ment of Koszta illegal and unjustihabe, the
President also declines to give his consent to his de-
livery to the Consul General of Austria and Smyr-
ma but, after q full examination of the case, as
herein presented he has instructed the undersigned
to communicate to MIR. Hulsemann his confident ex-
mediation that the Emperor of Austria will take the
nroper measures to cause Martin Koszta to be re-
stored to the same condition he was in before he
was seized in the streets of Smyrna on the 2lst OF
June last"
1t is proper to remark, that the communication
made by MIR. HULsEMAN to this government is not
not the first action taken by the Austrian Court ii
premises It's first step to address to the prin-
cipal European Cabinets in advance of any eommu
nication to the government of the United States
Il circular letter of complaint and protest a
gainst the course adopted by the American
authorities 1t was, therefore, deemed neces
sary, once for ALL to set forth fully the principles
Of action upon which this government proceeded
and to give to the world the upon which thu
President rests the vndication of the American
functionaries, and the views applicable to this case
upon which his policy is based. Such course hal
unavodably stretched Mr.. MARcY's letter to con
siderable length-though of course, not to the fab
ulous dimensions attributed to it. It makes how
ever, six closely printed columns of the Washington
Union, length which, unfortunately renders 1t in
nossibe for us to publish in our little sheet. We
shall however, make as accurate a synopsis OF 1T
leading points as our limits will permit
