THE RELEASE OF KoszTA.-We stated yes
terday that Mr.. H%ulsemann, the Austrian
Charge, was in Albany, and that it was ru-
mored that at a private interview with Sec
rotary Marcy, it had been arranged to re-
lease Koszta. The Albany Knickerbocker,
of Tuesday, has the following paragraph in
relation to the matter
It was credibly rumo-ed in the city last
night that an agreement had been made be-
tween Mr.. Marcy and Mr.. Hulsemann, that
Koszta shall accede to certain terms, which
the Austrian government sees fit to dictate,
and which are grounded on their fears Of an
European revolution or else that Koszta
shall return to the shelter afforded him byou1
Institutions on American soil.
A letter from Vienna received by the A
merica, and directed to a gentleman in New
York, it is said, contains the following infor
nation
The Austrian government has given its
consent to the liberation of Koszta, with the
understanding that he should be immediate
ly put on board an American vessel and g
directly to the United States. It was known
that Mr.. Marsh had proposed an arrangement
of that kind to Baron Bruck, and the Aus
trian government is said to have given it,
consent, partly becauseit relieves the French
Consul Generation the disagreeable engage
ment to keep Koszta, which he had underta
ken. for the purpose of saving the city o
Smyrna, and the shipping in the harbor, from
Immediate destruction. The Austrian gov
eminent, in consenting to this arrangement
has expressly reserved its light ncase Koszt
should return to Turkey, to arrest him, an
also considers him still an Austrian subiec

tive nationality in a regular and lawful way
