this affair may have an unhappy influence
upon the Russian and Turkish question and
II is probable it may. The Turks at Smyr-
ma were we'll pleased with the interference of
Capt. Ingraham In behalf of Costa, and in
the excess of their joy, committed some out
rages upon the Austrisns. Austria may take
umbrsge at this, and warmly second the
movements Of Russia against Turkey. If
so, general European war, will, in all prob
ability, be tho result. What part the Uni
ted States, in the event Of such a war, shall
undertake to perform, will be question for
the wise heads at Washington. The course
pointed out by the fathers Of the Republic,
we think the proper one-a strict neutrality.
There is but one state Of facts that we
can now think Of, that can justify the United
States in interfering in European affairs
That would be 10 case Of combination Of
the despotisms Of Continental Europe. to de-
stroy constitutional liberty-a thing which, n
short time since was appreh ended. In such
awar, the post Of duty for these States,
would be by the side Of England, with her
to sink or swim. A love Of liberty, IS well
as sense ofself preservation, would impel
them to adopt this course. England is the
breakwater to European despotism, against
which its waves roll, to be broken and hurl.

stand passive, and permit England to be

leave in the mind of my Government and
countrymen.
1t was on presenting this declaration to
the consulate of the United States of Ame-
rica at Smyrna, and to this Legation, that
the said Costa was furnished with tcz-
kereh to come to Constantinople, and to
return to Smyrna, whence he was to start
for New York. Since his arrival at Smvr-
ma he has resided in Turkey under the
protection of my Government, and it is a
pleasure to me to be able to state that his
conduct has always been irreproachable.
His fidelity to his native land--the only
crime Of which he is accused leads him
to declare himself always an Hungarian,
and to state that he wishes even to meet
his death as such.
Your Excellency will pardon me if
thus renew my intercession in his favor
| beg your Excelency to be pleased to
have him delivered over to the local au-
thority of Smyrna, to be sent again to the
United States. This act will be learned
10y the President of the United States, as
am confident, with satisfaction, and pre-
vent the painful and extraordinary news
of his arrest being again the cause of the
interruption of those friendly feelings be-
tween our respective countries, which
sincerely have it at heart to reconcile and
to cultivate.

ton, DC.

The Costa Difficulty.


TIE attention Of our readers Is invited to
the correspondence to he found in another
column, between Mr. Brown, American
Charge dAffaires. at Constantinople, and Mr..
Brsek, Austrian Envoy At the same place, In
reference to the arrest Of Martin Costa, q
Hungarian.
It's to be regretted, for the sake Of hu.
mani,y that Aussria's appetite for blood Is not
yet satisfied. Tho earth has drank deep Of
il already, but still the unhappy Hungarians
are hunted down, for further butcheries.
Ia the correspondence, there seems to he
8 misunderstanding Of facts; Mr.. Brown
claims Costa as an American citizen, " hie
Mr.. Bruck says he is Hungarian, and has
never ceased to be q subject Of Austria. The
trnth ofMr. Bruck's statements is evidenced
by rumors Of some declarations made BY
Costs, TO the efFest thst "he was Hungari-
an, and would live and die one" MrBrown's
statement is proven by certified copies Of
Cossa's declarations Of intention to become
citizen Of the United States, and the fact
that Costs, notwithstanding what he is re-
ported to have said, urges his right To Amer
lean protection.
In some quarters,the course Of Capt. Ingra-
ham, Of the American Corvette, "St. Louis" ("
In demanding Costa, and OBTAINING the Aus
tisn ship BY force at Smyrna, is condemn
ed, for the reason that Costa is not citizen
Of the United States; and therefore no, en-.
titled TO their protection. Had he, after
making his declaration ofinteution 20 become
citizen, remained In this country, thero
would be no aoubs Of his right to protection

Crops.

FRoN careful comparison of the several
reports we have received, we are satisfied
the corn crops, notwithstanding the gloomy
prospect some time since, will be sufficient
for the wants Of the district-possibly there
will be some to spare. OF the cotton crops
we cannot speak with certainty Much de-
pends on the seasons of the next two or
three weeks, and the time we may have
killing frost. Everything proving favorable,
there will be fair yield, but in no event can
we expect full crop.

He says there WAS good time about the

there, is great drawback to the usefulness
