The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1853-10-20

Our foreign Intelligence by the Atlantic contained
paragraph 10 the eject that "advcss from SMYRNA oi
September II state that on that evening Martin koszta.
the Hungarian refugee would sail for the United States
board the American baque Mimosa This was 10 be doae
with the consent OF al the parties concsssd and thus
the matter far Koszta himself is concerned
settled. Mr Brown at Smyrna on the 2ls TO see the
business duly flushed" II will be noted that Kosxa's
actual departure was not announced j. oaly stated IN
letters of the 2lst that he rsu sail that evening
We have private advices direct from Smyrna to the
same date. and from the best authority, which give a
different aspect to the whole and render far from
Certain that kosza has been released that il he has,
the s1air is not still more complicated than II is
stated Ia these letters oi the 2lu that Mr.. Msrsh the
American minister At Conslantinople had made an ar
rangement with Baron de Bruck, the Austrian envoy,
whereby kosza was 10 be put on board an American
vessel by the representatives OF the two powers Tor the
purpose Of returning direct 10 the United States. the
condition that ii he should return TO Turkey, the
Austrian government shall have full power to exercise the
rights il claims against him. Mr.. Brown had from
syes f0 ns n .y
United States consul al Smyrna, objected decidedly 10 the
stpulaons, and refused 10 give his assent to them,
cept on the receipt OF peemPtory orders to that effect
We find il very difficult to believe that either Mr.
Marsh or D1r Brown would give their ascent TO
rangement 90 utterly at war with the position assumed
easy 70 understand how they, or either Of them should
venture upon any negotiations on The subject. without
Instructions from Washington and ii is impossible TO
suppose. in the face Of Mr. Marcys letter, that any in
sruclions could have gone from Washington which
would authorize the action said have been taken We
do not know that Mr. Odey's refusal the
rangement would defeat il; the authority OF the minis
ter would probably override that OF the consul Bat we
trust kosztas departure has not taken place under any
spuati0ns directly at with the whole course OF
our government as those alleged to have been made.
II seems from the paragraph given from foreign
files, as well as from private letters that the arrange
ment was mainly made through the agency OF Mr. Brown
Il so. we should be less surprised ut lis alleged tenor
for Mr. Brown has never. from the outset put this mat
ter upon it's proper ground His correspondence with
Baron de Bruck, when Koszta first seized, was by
what the emergency demanded. did il
duce the slightest effect upon the Austrian envoy He
solicited The release of Koszta when he ought to have de-
manded il; and Baron de Bruck's rather contemptuous
treatment Of his entfeay only induced it's renewal.
II Kosza has been sent the United States under such
an arrangement the described ii will certainly be
repudated by the government al Washington Tor il is
directly at variance with the principles laid down in Mr.
Marcy's letter TO NJ Hulsemann this subject We
understand, that the latter proposed precisely
this arrangement TO the Secretary at their meeting at AL
bany; but il promptly and peremptorily declined
The issue of the affair will be locked for with interest
