EUROPEAN REFUGEES BOUND TO TURKEY.
A letter from an intelligent American
traveller now in Europe, to a friend in this
country, published in the National Intelli-

"Marseilles and Toulon are swarming
with political refugees; Hungarians, Poles,
Italians, &C., and most of them, particu-
larly the former, are on their way to Tur:
key. Many of them are possessed of no
torial certificates, which they think are
American passports, but the United States
Consul refuses to wise them, to the great
discomfort of the holders. I was in the
same hotel with Hungarian colonel, and
| ask him what ne intended to do with
his certificate from New York notary
He replied, L shall always carry it about
with me, and if taken prisoner, shall pro-
duce it and claim the right of an Ameri-
can citizen. | became acquainted during
my two wesks' sojourn at Marseilles,
with the Russian Consul, very able and
intelligent man, who, in answer to my in
quiry on the subject, assured me that moi
the least attention would be paid to any
document of the kind, and that every one
of these people that fell in the hands ol
the Russians would inevitably be shot i'm
mediately."
