paramount interest in Europe that the journals after
recording with more or less exacness and mparay the
substantial facts connected with the late Of Kosta
at smyrna, have allowed the affair to sleep But now
that the former has apparently, and persons be-
eye entered upon its final and pacific phase the latter
is again attracting attention. The German newspapers
announce that Austria is about make the conduct Of
the American authorities upon that occasion matter Of
pretext and energetic demand Of satisfaction at WASH
ngton. And more than this The Austrian Government
is asserted TO be on the of provoking united move
ment the part of European Governments in the form
of protest against what they improperly call the
Monroe doctrine assuming it to teach the e1pedency Of
American interference in European disputes They pre-
tend see, in the conduct OF Capt ISGRAHAM and the
United States Charge at Constantnople, proof that
Government is determined to attempt effective interview
ton in Europe, and they compliment US by preaching the
necessity of the prompt practice here of the rule o5a
priacps hope and believe that they fright
ened than hurt and that they will that the
fortunate affair at Smyrna is but isolated fact and
not all indicative Of settled policy such as is charged
upon the American Government The Vienna correspon
dent of the Frankfort Journal paper Of high political
authority, and repued to enjoy the favor Of frequent
governmental inspiration thus writes, under date Of the
7th Of August
"Afer bestowing proper notice upon the false phi
anthropy by which refugees from various States, or to
speak precisely the fororn hope Of the revolution

being called to the political considerations suggested

United States at Constannope the Consul Of the Union
Mt Smyrna, and the commander of the American eorvet6
ST. Louis have inerfcredin the Kosta affair There is
perceived here first attempt of the modern capitol to
carry out the doctrines Of Monroe professed by the
sent Chief Magistrate Of the great Republic Of the New
World This view of the subject is assuredy not without
certain degree of ustness, and in general terms the
situation may be thus characterized. North America,
while preparing to march against old Europe by the way
of the Pacific ocean, is occasionally sending out sharp
shooters annoy the OF the enemy and throw dsor
der into his ranks As for the Kosa affair we have just
learned that Minister Of Foreign Affairs has already
drawn up memoir in relation to it, which is to be
municated to the other Governments. And it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that these Governments enlightened
upon the real state Of the matter will refuse to take
into the serious consideration which in opinion it
merits the grave violation Of maritime law in European
sense committed by American agents in the Turkish
waters"
The Steele copying the above passage expresses the
belief that Austria will hardly succeed in obtaining from
the European Powers joint note protesting against the
policy ascrbed to the United States Most intelligent
persons Of the opinion Last year, under much
important and pressing circumstances Austria at
tempted provoke similar demonstration of the Conti
mental Powers against England account of the protec
ton afforded there to Continental refugees and the
noying freedom Of the British press She sgnaly failed
then, and will fail for the isolated facts occurring in
Smyrna harbor dictated by the authorities at Wash
ington and yet least, not sanctioned by Them will
be hardly deemed of sufficient gravity justify aSga
walton the already critical condition of European affairs
by like that proposed to the address of the
| United States Whatever Europe may think of our
Monroe doctrine and the Interpretation given to it in
America, serious European statesmen do not yet APP
prehend that prepared to disregard the
lemn warnings Of the venerated sage and patriot of
America by interfering in the settlement of purely
European questions, or propagating in Europe, by
the aid of arms the principles Of Republican
liberty. Such Dreams they know, confined in
the United States to a small party the eans psrdus Of
democracy which submits the inspiration of that double
refugee and desperate adyenture the foreigner Kossut

that the Porte would be wefounded in the demand Of
apology from both Austria and the United States; from
the former for the hghhanded Of Kosta in the
city of Smyrna and from both for the srespect the

Considering the growing intimacy of the Governments
Of Mexico and SPAIN and the late respecting their pro-
jecs Of mutual defence against the supposed agrees
designs Of the United States some interest would
perhaps attach with you to the following address
Of the Chevaer BUESAyESruRA vIvo, the new Mexican
Minister to Madrid delivered occasion of his pre-
sentaton to the Queen of Spain the 9th instant:
"There exist, Madame, between Mexico and the nation
whose desnies you gloriousy direct precious ties
which will ever be between the two countries the firm
guaranty Of the respect which the owe to their
dignity and their Independence and which will render
durable their intimate relations by directing them their
