Secretary 1arey6 Letter.
The anxioasiy sxpected rejoindcr OF Scerc-
tary Macy 10 the despatch Of Mr.. Hulsclnasa,
the Austrian Charge d AfIaircs Il washington.
concerning the Koszts affair, has at length
made ssppcarancc. Itis Of very great length,
embracing six columns of the Washington
Union, but Of powerful interest to every Am.
erican citizen Mr.. Marcy. - was expected,
has arrayed mass Of facts Of irresistible weight
and truthfulncss against the arguments set
forth through Mr.. Hnlscmann In the Austrian
protest. But II Is useless for US TO comment
on this last and browning effort or our distin-
ghished Secretary Of State. We can neither
gild refined gold nor add one particle more to
|thc fragnncc Of the rose. The letter is worthy
pr Mr.. Marcy's reputation Ms a scholar, a law
yer, and statesman; anil in order to form
bust appreciation of its true merits, tho whole
correspondence between the two governments
should be read carefully, attcntvely and un-
lerstandingly.
Iiulsemann takes the ground that Kosxta
bad been seized by virtue of treaties existing
between Austria and Turkey, and that no sat.
sfactory evidence had been produced of Kosz-
MS bcing an American citizen. He claims
Ehat Koszta was an Austrian subject, and de-
nands from the government of the United
States PREPARATION for the conduct of Capt In
Pgraham.
In reply, Mr.. Marcy maintains tho right Of
the subject of any nation to cxpatriatc him
self and declares that Koszta was seized with
put justification on the part of Austria, and
bis seizure was unlawful Hc denies the exis-
tencc Of treaty between Austria and Turkey
by which no could DO lawfully seized, and pro-
|cccds to show that Koszta has national char
|actcr MS an American by virtue of domicil, and
Sworn dccartion to become citizen Of the
United States, and also by virtue of q letter of
protection granted by the American consul at
|Constantinople. He accordingly justified Cap.
tain Ingraham's conduct, and concludes by de-
Ginning to comply with Hulscmann's demands,
expressing tho expectation that the Emperor
of Austria will take measures to restore Kosz.
tn to the same condition that he was in when
seized
The New Orleans Delta thus comments upon
Mr.. Marcy's letter;
it is, certainly, paper of extraordinary
ability. The Huscnann letter of Daniel Web
ster, md even tho letters of Mr.. Everett, must
yield to it's granite strength and power. In
this document there is no extrancous learning
no 0d cdptandum appcals-no parade Of elo-
quence or Of national greatness--no attempt at
smart points" or telling hits---no course alb
ruptness or boastfnl prctcnsion. II is q lucid,
graphic, and distinct statement Of facts, follow
ed by an argument, fair, full, comprehensive,
Legitimate, presented in language OF singular
vigor, dircctncss and nerve, and yet mover deg
cending into bus,er, nor the most distant APP
proach to rudcncss. The staIwart Secretary
treats the little Austrian with all tho forbcar-
ancc and dclicacy Of the Brobdinagian who
held Gullivcr in the palm of his hand and crit
iciscd his features. Such a course on the part
of our Secretary, is the moro impressive from
the contrast with the saucy presumption which
il Characteristic Of iulscinann's letter. This
little dip,omatist Aser stating tho facts as they
have already been given, in regard TO Koszta's
seizure at smyrna, his detention ON board the
Husznr, and the warlikc movement of Captain
lngrahan, to enforce his release, proceeds in a
very arbitrary manner, to assert that Kosxta
was an Anstian subject; that he had no power
without the consent of Anstrin, to change his
citizenship; that he never was a naturazesl
citizen of tho United States, but only made a
declaration Of his intention to undergo that
process, that Captain Ingrnham committed n
violent outrage, and MI net Of war, in bringing
the ST Louis upto the Austrian brig in wnrlike
attitude; that il is only in the power of the
Federal Government to declare r;-he there
fore, concludes by expressing the hope that,
"'rhe Government of the United States will
hasten to instruct its consul Mt Smyrna not to
intcrposc any obstacle to the cxtra,liiion OF tho
aforesaid kosz,a by the Consu, General OF
France to the Consul General of Austria at
