THE KOSZTA CASE.

1t will be seen from the following extract from
London letter of the I'd instant, to the editor of
the New York Courier, that Secretary MARcY's ex-
position of the Koszta case has given trouble to
Mr. BUCHANAN, by encouraging foreigners abroad
who have been in the United States, and have Civ
en- notice OF Their intention to become American
citizens, to apply for passports. He finds it diff
cult when they come armed with the Secretary's
letter to convince them that the mere notice of an
intention to renounce their allegiance to the Gov
eminent of their native country and to become a
citizen Of the United States does not give them the
slightest right to the privilege Of citizen when in
this country, in distinction from those which they
share in common with every foreigner resident here,
or any claim whatever to passport if they go
abroad. koszta's case rests solely on the ground
of the protection which had been assured him by
an American consul in Turkey, and not upon any
right acquired, under the laws of the United States
by virtue of his declared intention to become cit-
zen.-Boston Daily Advertiser
The publication of Mr.. MARcY's Koszta paper has
given the American Legation in London trouble,
and placed both the Minister and the Secretary dis
agreeable position Many continental political refugees
in England, understand the Secretary of State to
say that the United States recognise all political refugees
American citizens, whether they have been in the
United States and declared their intentions become
American citizens not and this strange notion they
call at the Legation for passports and American proec
tons to enable them to visit the Continent many of them
being anxious to engage in the present Some who
have been in the United States and have their decara
tons call the errand and, there is order
at the Legation authorizing the granting of passports to
such, they politely refused the favor At this they
grow indignant, and in some cases abusive we have
authority to grant your request says the Secretary
but the contrary have positive orders from the
State Department not to grant passports to any who

Marcy clearly says the declaration to become citizen

ess when we heard the passage it struck something
worse than bad ase-asbut will not characterize it
as 1t deserves.

doctrine that the United States would protect all who
were clothed with its nationality" whether native ma
turalized or semi -naturazed citizens lie adds as he
was bound to add by the necessities of his by
the truth and law Of his that there was nothing in
this doctrine to excite an apprehension that the privilege
Of American citizenship would be made of by politi-

says "extend the shield Of its protection over adyentur

ere with their political institutions disturb their in

precaution, Mr. Mitchell is pleased describe as spe
cies OF homage to the tyrants Of the Old World
Would he have had Mr.. Marcy say that the JJn;tea
States were willing TO take up the of all men who
should choose to pick quarrel with their Governments
and fly hher to declare intention to become citizens
Why that position would have involved in less than
six months in war with all the nations Of Europe and
of Asia, too 1t would have made the pretence Of Anne
rcan citizenship cloak for all kinds Of tn .sonabe and
sedous actions and broken the force of sympathy
IN all really great and deserving of national revolt
