Another Koszta Affair.

The Austrian Government has again
imprisoned a man entitled to the protec-
tion of an American citizen. The message
of President Pierce is considered decidedly
warlike, reviving all the jealousy occa-
stoned by the Koszta affair. A Vienna
correspondent of the New York Tribune
give the following statement of the case.
In lS40 Simon Taussig, the person in
question, obtained permission Of the au-
thorities of Prague to travel one year in
Germany, France and England. While
absent from the Austrian dominions, he
took occasion to visit the United States,
where he soon after married and settled
as shoemaker in the State of New
Jersey. He took the necessary steps to
become all American citizen; and a full
passport was given him in the United
States, the present year, to return to
Prague, for the worthy purpose of convey
iny to the United States a poor widow
with several children. On reaching
Prague his passport was taken from him
by the police authorities, and has since
been withheld on the ground of his still
being all Austrian citizen. Not only this
he is also threatened with severe punish
mcnt for having left his country without
permission. He of course at once laid his
case before Mr.. Jackson, the American
Minister at Vienna. Taussig is charged
with no political offense, but, on the other
hand, appears to be a simple, unoffending
mechanic, whose crime is so underlined as
to have found its way only among the
vagaries of European despotism. Mr..
jackson brought the affair before the
Austrian Government and requested that
Taussig's passport should be restored and
himself permitted to return to his suffering
family. The ground of humanity was also
urged. The ullsuspicious character of the
man, the smallness of the offense commit
ted the fact that Taussig is poor man,
that his family is suffering from his
absence, and especially the praise-worthy
object of his visit to Prague, were all
presented to their consideration. But
Austrian diplomacy has brain of lead
and heart of fstone, and all considerations
of the above character are with them
perfectly lost.
STILL ANorHER.-The Rev. James
Cook Richmond has addressed letter to
the President, complaining of the espio-
mage and annoyances to which he was
subjected by the government officials at
Keckskemet.
