The Doavulzion of 1848 aud ‘he »'rnggle of 1849 placed her in rs of dependence on Ler powerful nerthern ally. which the full weight «as never felt till now.

It is not the least of the defects of Count Nesselrode’s second circular of the 24 of Jaly that for all the esxential of the quertion pending between Russia and The Porte this document was altogether superfluous; ani ‘that if it was written, as we must suppose it to have been, with any definite object at all, that object coula serail in a more direst manner the policy of and French governments Ay ‘a Dew and an erroneous issue between them and the cabinet of St. Petersburg The attempt to turn the tables upon us by this daring mavceuvre required an immediate aod a pe remptory answer, and Lord Clarevdon at once declared in the Bouse of Lords that the British government world never be a party to conditioas which shauld admit the violent and unjust ocoupation of the prin- cipalities to be set off against the pacific and legal pre- sence cf the.allied rquedrons in Besika Bay ; Lord John Russell, too, bax tince explained in the House of Gom- tons, that although on the first cursory perusal he had net perceived tbe fol! bearing of this extraordinary argument, it war only because he was unwilling to mpute to a staterman of the character and experience of ‘Count Nraselrode the use ef so di-credicable a statement, The B iti-b goverpn ent, therefore publicaly maiocain that there if no analogy between the presence of the combined flvets in Besike Bay and the Rusvian cecupaiion of the Princivaliter. The one is an act of strict defence and observation, shish has all along beea regulated by the utmost forbearance, and is atill controlled by revpect for the convertion of 1841, although the pasnsge, of the Pruth by the Bussian armies might ave justified the Porte in declaring that coc veetion to be eui pended; the otber iq to all intents and purpores, an act of hostile aggreasioh, which bas been described as such on all former occasions by tha Rossixa government itrelf, and ism: w resorted to avowedly for the purpose of com elling the Porte to submit to terms which are whol ly incompatible wtb ite sovereigo authority.

CONDUCT OF COMMODORE STRINGHAM—CORRESPON- DENCE WITH THE AUSTRIAN MINISTER. We have copious accounts of the arrest of Costs, the Hungarian, at Smyrna. It is a long time since that jocaitty hes been +o thorougbly waked up, as it has besa dy the energy of Capt. Str-ngham, of the St. Louis, The most straightfcrward statewent, to baud, says that Martin Koorta, or Costa, bed been but a few days at Smyrna, although another account says he had been eight months concealed in the city. At all events, on the evening of the 224 ult, he was quietly smoking in a Greek colfee house on the wharf, (not the private dwelling of a Sardi- piap, as was at first reported.) when a band of ten mea esme to the spot acd arrested bim as a Hungarian, who was in banichment with Kossuth at Kotayah, awd was per mitted to go to America on pledging his word never to revurn to,Turkian territory. Costa struggled with bis assailants, and knocked one or two of them imio the wa ter, and at length leaped ioto the stream and swam towarde 2 sbip. He was scon overtaken, dragged into a boat, and taken on board the Austrian brig of war Hus ear. where he was heavily ironed. It was observed that six of his eaptors remained on board the brig. and the rest returned asbore. The affair sould appear to bave blown over for that night, but next morning it was generally talked of, and the most intense excitement arose Mr, Brown. the United States Consul, learai that Costa was last from Awerica, waited on the Consul General of Austria, saying that he understcod that a native of Hungary who hsd become an American citi- zen bad been taken by force on board tae Austrian brig of war, and he wished to see the man and ask him for ex plepations, The Austrian Covsul denied all knowledge of the fact. Mr. Brown thew proceeced to the brig and re- qnested ar. interview with the prisuner, which was re- fused, and meanwme the vessel was preparing to depart. Just at that mowent the corvette St Louis, Captain Stringham commanding, sailed into the harbor, and the Coprul lost no time in communicating the circum Our accounts claxh here. It would seem Captain Stringham, baving gone on board the Austrian, was toid by e lieutenant thet he bac no prieover in the ship. Returning on board a second tine, aud accompanied by Me. Brown, they found Commander z, captain of the brig, whom Captain Stringham thus ad¢resed:—" Your leu tenant, ir bas lieo gy the meacest cabin bow in the Ame- riesp ervice would not be guilty of such cowardice Demanding then to see the prisoner. Costa was brought ou deck, inivons. Captain Stringbam asked, Are you op American?” ‘No. Lam a Hangartan,”’ ‘ Have you an American parsport?’’ To which, lke a blockhead. he reviled © No, Tam # Hungarian, and Iwill die » Han gation '’ The Americacs could do co more snd left the b ig. Learing however, sou afer, that Costa bad teken the oath of citizenship and seeing the Austrian brig pre- pering to depart, Captain Stringham sent a message that ‘sas they bad on board @ prisouer, carried off by force from a foreign ieGepeudent vrritory, and who had sworn allegiance io the government of the United States, he should feel it bis owy to insist upon the brig reaaining under bis gurs until he received instructions from Oo stanticople, and if any attempt were made to eepart he would at once fire into the brig”? While this was passing in the barber, the excitement was no lets on shore, Ail the European merchants went in a body to Ali Pacha, the Turkish Governor of the city, and begged him not to suffer this vielation of the Ottomec terrivor, The Va-be, in great trepidation, said he could not help 1d write to Constantinople for ins ructions. rebants then repaired to the Cassino, whieh is ading-room, ball room, and club, and there parsed vtion to expunge the name of every Austrian fom rells, Towards evening, while the clty was yet in ent, three officers from the Austrian brig had the inwprucence to go on shore, avd sit emobing in a cafe.
