Kossuth and the Officers of the Mississippi. I see an attempt is made to contradict the Hagato’s Marseilles correspondence about Kos- suth’s conduct, and his difficulties with Capt. Long and Consul Hodge. It appears Kossuth became satisfied, during the passage of the Mississippi to Gibraltar, that his proceedings would inter- fere with his reception in the United States, aud he did all he could to make his peace with Capt. Long; and now some persens here would be very glad to stifle the whole affair. But this is impracticable, because a large number of letters, official and pri- vate, eent, about the lst October, direct from Mar, seilles, are now on file in the Navy and State De- partments, containing a great many curious details. They have been read during the last two or three weeks, by a number of persons, and will be called for as soon as Congres? moots. Capt. Long says in one of his letters:—‘ This is the most unpleasant meme ES whet | heraarge yr! employed;” and ro Morgen, m Spezsia, where the Sardinian authorities bopied for the imaodiate Sepeeenee C3 the | Mlarieai on account of the Led ossuth’s presen him: “ His wilfulness is pa Ty Mths devil possesses that gentleman.” There is also a very important letter written by Kossuth himself to Capt. Long, which, Scoor ding to its tenor, was in- tended for publication in the United States, in which be complains of having got from one prisoa into another; and, because Captain Long had com- iained that Kossuth’s conduct co nited States flag, “he is of a different opinion, and on that account will leave the Mi aa soon as possible” It is also said that Kossuth wrote a letter tothe President, asking for the recall of Consu) Hodge and the dismissal from the service of Captain Long; but if such a strange letter exists, it is no doubt in the President’s own keeping.
