The Hul.emann Correspondence.

The following resume of Secretary Marcy's
letter to the Chevaer Hulsemann in relation to
the Koszta affair, is from the New York cores
pondence of the Aha California:
The Chevalier Hulsemann has run against a
snag, and is " used up.' Austria is unfortunate
in her encounters with our statesmen, and the
" Austriches,' as good dame Partington calls
them, have got 8 cud to chew" which Will
prove quite as difficult of digestion sword
blades, grape-shot rusty nails. The admin
istraton is out with its reply to the Austrian de-
mand for satisfactory apology and disavowal,'
and severe rebuke" of our agents i'll the koszta
affair The topic of the day is Secretary Marcy's
letter to the Chcvalier, and the sense of the
country at large: Wings, Democrats, ard neu-
trails with regard to the document, may be char
acterzed by one huge note Of admiration
Henceforlh be Marcy's political peccadiloes
forgotten. Even the " "brceches patch is for
ever covered and blotted o0t by the whole cloth
of this paper, and ;t will go far towards supply
ing him with an entire pair, wherewithal
some day to take his seat as Democratic Pre-
sident of this Republic.
Although his weapon has not the trenchant
keenness of the Massachusetts Warrior, :. Black
Dams teather-edged cimetar, Marcy neverthe
less deals his blows ;;'from the shoulder and
Hulsemann is again annihilated. He has taken
nothing by iiis motion" of waiting Webster's
decease before he returned to this country. The
secretary's letter is an able paper, cogeut, ogi-
cal, and clear He opens with succinct,
sirai ghforward reorganization of all The circunl-
stances Of the Koszta affair; and then, taking up
Ausria's demand reviews step by step the
whole matter, unqualfedy sustaining the action
OF Capt. Insraham and our diplomatic agents
He shows that the affair is to be judged entirely
by the principles ct The Law OF Nations, and not
by municipal or local codes: that kosZta's ae-
glance to Austria was dissolved by the Empe-
ror's act, III having by the presence of an
agent at the departure of the refugees from Tnr-
key, practically sanctioned sentence of banish-
ment accepting ihe a substitute for Koszta's
surrender, which had previously been demanded;
and in having, under the charge of rebellion,
escheated his property, and forfeited him of his
civil rights. Austria could, therefore, under no
circumstances, claim him as her subject. That
koszta had, by residence here of nearly two
years, and by his solemn declaration of intended
citizenship, acquired domicil,' and been
" clothed with the nationality" of the United
States, and that, therefore, both by right and
usage, although he not yet endowed with
all the rights OF citizen of the United States, it
was optional with them to extend to him their
protection while abroad on temporary business
the on his visit TO Turkey. That
such protection had been properly extended by
our Minister at Constantnope, and our Consul
at Smyrna, under sanction of the Turkish laws.
That Capt. Ingraham's war-making'' course
must be jud ged with the a,imus which governed
and the circumstances which induced il ; that so
judged, it was not an act of hostility per Sc, nor
declaration Of war de facto but a simple act of
humanity in defence of one entitled to the safe
guard of his flag, and standing through the vio-
lence oil others, III pressing need of prompt and
peremptory aid. That, therefore, by the Law
of Nations, Capt. Ingrahams course was justif-
able, and is fully justified and endorsed by his
Government.
Austria's arragnment of the United States for
81 violating the sovereignty of the Ottoman ter
ritory'' is summariy dealt with. She is cody
told, that even admitting The charge we admit
no such right OF arraignment on her part. But
the charge is not admitted. That Turkey is the
Judge on this point; when she complains we
will afford her every satisfaction and apology
But stae does not complain. On the contrary

self as guilty Of the very violation which she
presumes To throw in our teeth. In reply to
fiulsemann's averment, that Austria had the
right to enforce the jurisdiction she attempted,
by ..uelty stipulation +" with Turkey, Marcy
saws, WHY not name the treaty granting such
powers ~ and then shows that the question has
before arisen and that no such treaty exists. In
conclusion he states, that the President does
not see sufficient cause for disavowing the acts
of the American agents, which has been COM
pained of by Austria. Her claim for satisiac-
lion on that account has been carefully examined
aud is respectfully declined The President
also declines to give his consent 10 his (kotza's)
delivery to the Consul General Of Austria at
Smvrna. and communicates his :. confident ex-
pectation that the Emperor of Austria will take
the proper measures to cause Martin koszta to
be restored to the same condition he was III be-
fore he was seized in the streets OF Smyrna on
the oIsf OF June last. The document Is
fully wor,led, so as to avoid all cause Of offence

humble the pride of the "House nf Hapsbnrs."
