KoszrAs RELEAsF.-By letters received at New
York it appears that Koszta has been released, and
embarked for this country under the restrictions i'm
piled in Baron Bruek's letter. The embarkaton
was accomplished in opposition to Consul Onley by
Mr.. Dragoman Brown, who appears to have used
force to compel Koszta to embark The following is
the letter:
SslYRNA Monday, Sept 26, 1853.
The attention Of our circle has been very much
attracted these days by the misunderstanding which
happened to take place between Mr.. Obey, the
American Consul, and Mr.. Brown, the Dragonan
of the Legation at Constantiuope in relation to the
affair Of the refugee, Martin koszta.
Mr. Brown prepared with Baron Bruck sort Of
arrangement by which hoszta would be released,
but the right of Austria to exercise lis powers over
him. in the event Of lis return to Turkey was fully
recognised and agreed to by the American Lega-
ton.
This arrangement was fully approved by Mr..
Marsh and the contracting parties proceeded to It's
of this Consulate and Ofley upon learning thecon-
ditions Of the arrangement, protested against them
as inconsistent with the dignity Of the American
Government and said that he should await the Or
ders of the DEPARTMENT Of State, before he would
submit to such disgrace. The legation, II seems
felt wounded at this opposition Of the Consul, and
Mr.. Brown came here from ConstantInople to en-
force, through the means Of the control that the e
cation has over the Consul, the arrangement above
mentioned.
Mr. Brown went at once to the hotel, and sum-
moned the Consul The latter denied Browns pow
er over hiIn and series Of letters were exchanged,
which were certainly not Of the most cordial nature
The Consul warmly defended the grounds of his ac-
ton, and Brown spoke about his iun powers in the
matter and it appears that Mr. Brown had recourse,
for the slke of carrying out his plan, to the same
means that he resorted to two years ago-when he
broke into the American Consulate at Constantine
PIE, and used Austrian forces against an American
officer-for Koszta was embarked, not, however,
without opposition on his part and his refusal to
sign the convention relating to his non-return.
As the question stands, everybody here approves
Mr. Ofiey 5 conduct and censures Messrs. Brown
and Marsh for subscribing to a condition which dis
honors the American name, and gives full victory
to Austria. Indignation meetings preparing,
and Marsh and Brown viii have as many groans as
Ingraham and Ohley had praises.
