Gov. Marcy's Reply.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Freeman's Journal who appears to have some meth
cd of wormng into State secrets, speaking Of the
Kosta affair, says:
"Gov. Marcys reply to the Austrian protest a.
gainst the course of the American officers in the
cent Smyrna affair is looked for every day with anx-
ious curiosity. The Union is eagerly sought af err
every morning with the almost certain expectation
of reading therein the long expected letter of the
new Premier. which is to annhatc Austria, Russia
Husemann, and all the old fogies at home. The
Secretarys debut in diplomacy will doubt be We
ry able document. and thoroughly Of the modern
Democratic progressive order. AS the document
will be read in every cabin in the Union, and dis
cussed and read in every language of Europe there
is prevailing here unusual desire see what kind
of figure tn. Secretary will cut before the world
The contents of the forthcoming State paper have
been much talked about that It's general features
and leading views may be pretty certainly arrived
at IN advance OF lis appearance in the 'organ That
it will approve of the course of Capt Ingraham and
the Consul at Constantinople is already declared :;
but there is doubt but that the restoration of Kos
ia will be insisted upon This is the question after
all What is to become of Kosta =? So startled was
the country by the bold and reckless attitude assn
med by Ingraham, and so busy have politicians been
ever since in discussing the propriety of that atti-
tude, that little has been thought of the future des-
tiny of Kosta himself. Gov. Marcy will make a
happy stroke for popularity in taking the public
gain by surprise by assuming an attitude bold fear
less, and ultra Young american, that Young A
merica himself will be surprised at his own slow
coach, but will at once come over and hitch on 10
Gov. Marcy's fast team"
