We have received from the Department Of State for

the correspondence between The Austrian government,
and that OF the United States in relation the case OF

II will be remembered that the Austrian government

ofihe Koszta affair permitted itself give 10 that ransac-

cabinets in advance OF any communication to the gov
eminent OF the United States, circular letter OF COM
plant and protest against the course adopted by
the American authorities The speedy publication,
apparently not uninentiona OF this circular in the lead
ing European journals, from which, OF course 1t was
widely copied in this country was manfesy calculated

upon parte statement, could not be considered
as fair Tree from undue bias II is 10 be regretted
that this departure by the government Of Austria from
the established usages and prophecies OF diplomatic inter-
course should have been far coun,enanced by the
cabinets Of ST. Petersburgh and Berlin as to induce those
governments TO the position Of voluntary parties
TO the controversy by nslrucng their representatives in
Washington to intimate 10 the President their gem
eral in the view taken by Austria of the
proceedings in the Of Kosza. II is gratifying to
state, however, tina, the governments OF France and
Great Britain, to which the Austrian circular was
equally addressed have deemed proper to proceed
in the premises with far paiseworthy circum-

to the maintenance OF the rights and territorial SOW

OF Austria. The government of Great Britain, though
it has made known to that OF the United States the fact
that its attention has been drawn to the subject has yet
given no intimation that it regards the of the
American unconares in the transaction as open to CEN

Under these circumstances, it is evident that Austria
