Boemere is different—by seme new process of the mind he draws a contrary conclasion trom the premises He admite that Guvernor Kossuto had mo right to abdicate, therefore be has no right more to be called Governor: In Hungary they do mot understand this kind of reasoning, smd the people say: ‘Tne Governor's resignation wat ap aot not ia obedience to law, or to the will of the na. tion It was elicited by Gorgey under tale pretenoes, and morally goes for nothing.

Such are the accusations against the Governor! But the means of enforsing such charges are still worse; the Austro Russian organ in Wail stzeet is bold enough to quote against me a Leiter of mine from Widdin, in Tarkey, while I never in my life have been in Widdin, or in Turkey.

COMMOMORE MONGAN TO GHCRETARY OF THE Wavy, Frac Bair Ispreravence, Bar oF Brexzis, September 45, 1861, Bin :—I have the honor to informa the Department that the steamer Mississippi arrived in this bay on the morn. ing of Bunday, the Zlet instant, having on board Gon. Louts Kossuth, with his family and compsnionsand their Seeptcure eulles apd servarts, numbering in all fifiy- tight, ard that the ve:sol was thereupon placed in quarentine for a period of eight days Imumediately after the arrival ot the Mississippi I ra- ceived a letter from Gen. Kossuth, begging tnat I would give bim a rpeedy interview, to which | at on sented, end, in the course of an hour's converration that ensued, found that ke bad resolved to leave the Mississippi at Gitraltar, for the purpcss of procesding from thence to England. snd that he wished the ship, uniess she could convey him to Soutimmpton, to remain inthe bay of Gibraltar until bis return, But, without authority to wrree to the first propositi and hesitating in view of bun leteness Of the seasen te eenen st tr ao ‘and ¥n- certain adetention as must inevitably result under the seooud, Lendeavored to induce him to change his-plans, aud pi cceed first to the United States, and we separated. On tho tollowivg morning, however, he sent me a secon 1 etier, containing a fuller exposition of his views and wishes, renewing more formally the request of the da: previous, and pledging himeelf to return and re-embar! at Gibraltar within @ period from fifteen to twenty days trom the date of his arrival. And while engaged in the consideration of this letter I recelved a third, in which he proposed, for the purpore of saving time, to leave the cbip tor England at Mareeilles, and rejoin ber within the period named at Gibralter.” Vourlnced by the fixed determination manifested first im our converration and subsequently in the tenor of his letters, that there was no possibility of induciog himto make any change in his plane, [unwillingly as. tented to the latter proposition as the lesser ref of the two, and accordingly instructed Captain Long to preceed with the least practicable delay from this place to Marseilles, avd there, should no objection on the part of the authorities interpore, to afford every facility to General Korsuth to land, with his family aod | such of his companions as he might desire to accompany him: thereafter proceeding to Gibraltar, iu good season to reach and complete his prey Hons for sea at that port within the pericd specified ; directing him, however, in the event of the appearance of ey obstacle to the disembarkation of Gen. Kosauth at Marsetiler, to pro- ceed forthwith to Gibraltar, and there land and await him tor twenty-one days, or longer, should it be necessa- ry ; requesting, before parting with him, in any case, that bo would advige him, after is arri ‘land, at what date he mipht be expeoted back. Under thess iustruc- tops the Mississippi eailed this morning, nowithetand. | ing the fact that, in accordance with a request dated at | Constantinople, and received from Capt. Long some three days before dispatched tho naval storekeeper to Genoa for three hun- dred tons of coals to be forwarded to this plave ; fer which, although it had entered the harbor at the hour of her departure, I did not deem it prudent to detain her, inssmuch as the presence of Gen. Kossuih had caused @ considerable degree of excitement among tho people of this neighborhood, and was a rubject of very great con- cern to the Sardinian government, with whose fears in reference thereto I bad been mundo acquainted by the Hon, Wm. B Kinney, Charge d’Affairs of the United Btates at Turin, to whom they were very earnestly ex- preseed by the Ministry, aud I Uave accordingly returned | the epi to the vender, with a small lose to the govern. meri Under all these circumstances, the honorable Secretary will perceive that it has been impossible to tran the department at an earlier moment any report respecting either the certuinty of the liber: of Gen. Kossuth, or the courre he would thereapon pur- ene, should it be accomplished; and, in view of his de. termtpation to visit Kngiand before going to Ainerica, L regret to admit that even now I deem the consummation of the plans aud wishes of our government exotedingly deubtfol.
