Washington, Dec. 18. I send you the following Address of Martin Koszta to the President, and bis own narrative of all that transpired, ofa public character, to him while at Smyrna, aud subsequently while id the custody of the United Htates Government. E. B. Mr. President :—It is with n sentiment of a pro found respect and a deep gratitude that I have now the honor to appear before your Exoellency. 1 have to thank you not only for your vupport to my self, but also for the principle which you have es tablished, and which will, iu ftiture, enforce respect to all those who have the good fortune to be placed under the protection of tbo American flag. Since a noble people ns this, governed by a noble President ns yourself, have sanctioned that principle, suffering humanity has ceased fearing oppression and tyran ny, and millions of unfortunates conscious that there exists oa this continent a power aver ready to check injustice, mingle their heartfelt vows with mine for tba presetvatiou of ibat power and their worthy ru ler. Accept, Mr. President,with my sincere thanks, this hasty narrative of my history, and coudescoud — continue me your high protection. MAETIN KOIZTA'a NARRATIVE OF HM ARREST AtiV RELEASE. On the 82d of June, at 5 P. M., Whilst I was quiet ly sitting before n coffee house on the sea sldo, at Bmyrna, I, all at once, felt myself seized b> two men, and, ns I turned to see what was their object, I perceived half u dozen more, with their daggers turned upon me. Whilst in that attitude I was thrown into the aoa. Two boats, with two mon in each, awaitod to pick me up. My other aggressors immediately jumped into these boat*, and, as I cauio mi the surluce of the water, two vigorous men took me by the neck and beard, and kept me in the water, alternately plunging me in and taking out, while the others were pulliug pretty fust until we arrived near the Austrian brig Hussar, anchored at 3 miles off. A lew minutes before my arrival on board, my captors took mn into the boat, lied ray and lees with a rope, and on going alongside, i hauled up as a bag of merchandise. As this being done, the Austrian Consul Goueral and Commander Hchwartz, of the brig llussar, the Governor of Smyrna, and, without giving him any notice.of their plot to kidnap mo, they request ed him to chase from Smyrna one of the Kuttahya refugees who bad just come back from Amorica.— Simultaneously with my arrival on board the Aus- Irian brig, and wbilo preparations were made to tie uia on a gun, Commander Schwartz returned o hoard, aud, after addressing me in harsh langungi to which I was going to answer, that I was unde American protection, and recognized in him n right to treat me thus, ha ordered me not to utter a word, threateniug to punish me with fifty lashes, and ordered tne to be placed in the hold, loaded with chains, in addition to which I was closely tied to a pillar, although my arms and legs were likowiso tied. Iu that position, and with my dress wet witbfthesea wator, I remained|eight hours,whon my mornl strength yielding to my physical suffer- mgs, I fainted. The next thing I kuew, was, that my arms had been untied by the physician ofthe llussar, and medical (attendance was administered to me. I continued to bo tiod to the pillar until 9 A M., of tho 33d of June. About that time I was sniz ed by four men and carried—not being able to walk by myself—into thesaloon of the veseel,where 13 officers and soldiers, attended by the Austriuu Chancellor were assembled to interrogate me.— The Chancellor then addressed mo several questions among which are the following: Q.—" Why are you hero P A.—“ I do not know." Q —“ Think for what reason you are here !' A.—" 1 know of no other reason than because you have appointed assassins to seize and carry Q.—"By what authority did we do that t" A.—"I do not kuew"' • Q.—" But where were you born, and what coun try mail are you f" A.—" My uative land is Hungary. Perhaps you think that that faet gives you aright on tne ; but you have no such right, as I have abjured ullegiancn to Austria, and declared my intentioii of becoming an Aacrican citizen, aud that I actually am uuder American protection." While this interrogatory was being made, r came from the deck and whispered a few words to Ihe eommandor. He sonu came again and called the comtnauder into the adjoining cabin where they spoke for some time. .Subsequently, the cominauder went ou deck, and, on his return to tho saloon, he said in soft language, till then uuknown to me, Hint I seemed to he u gentleman and invited me to sit. This compliment was u consequauce of tho seeing off the Smyrna's harbor the U. 8. sloop of war St. Louis. The interrogatory coutiuued some time longer, aud it was then presented to me for my sig nature. Alter reading it, I signed it, aud was re turned to the hold, where I tbeu fouud a muttrass and a chair.

Hr Tho Washington Star iu an article upon the election of Beverly Tuckor, of the Sentinel, Printer to the Senate, says the Sentinel will now out-Herald the Herald in its opposition to the Ad ministration—that the herald may cease its oppo sition, but the Sentinel never. It says, further, tbut the disaffected Democrats, Abolitionists and Wbtgi of |he Senate have eombiued against tho Adraiuis. (ration. Fourteen Whigs, three Abolitionists, (among them Seward) and uine Democrats voted for Mr. Tucker. The reasons of the democrat* voting for Mr. Tuck- or are said by tho Star to bo these: Messrs. Weller and Atebisoo, because of the fa vors shown to the Van Huron party ; Mr. Bright, because he watRot appointed Secretary of the Inte rior, aud also because bis caudidale for Special Mail Agept was rejected ; Mr. Brodbead, from op- r ition to Col. Forney, aud his iuferred influence the Uuiou establishment; Messrs, James and Wright, from want of sympathy with the Adiuinis; tration, in consequence of its uuti-proieclionisi views ; Mr. Evaus, merely from the solicitation of his Virginia friends ; Messrs. Hunter and Mason are, the one tbo cousin, the latter tho towusman of Mr- Tucker. The vote for Gen. Armstrong, or the Uuiou is understood to bo R* follows—Messrs. Gwinn, John son. Petit, Dodge of Iowa, Slidell, Hamlin, Walker, Dodge of Wisconsin, Cass, Stuart, Adams, Norris, Williams, Douglass, Allen, Shields aud Bell. vr The New York Post understands that offers of assistance to the amount of at least one hundred uud forthy thousand dollur* have been tendered the Messrs. Harpers, from individuals with whom they hive had no previous counection. Another gratify ing evidence ofthe sympathy accorded to them by the business community, is tbe offer of the various insurance companies to waive iheir sixty days of grace, and settle at once fc. their several liabilities.

Movements or the Russian 8quadeon.—Loi ters dated 8bangbai, 21st September, mention (hat tba Russian Admiral Poutialino had. arrived with his squadron before Nangasaky oo the 33d August, •and was actively engaged with the Japanese au- tlioritica iu negotiations, which were not termina ted on the 1st of September. The Russian ships consisted of the frigate Pallas, tbs corvette Olivout- xa, the steamer Rostock, and the transport Prince MsuscbikoA Shortly after,Capt. Ingraham,accompanied by Mr. Oflloy,visited me and asked me the question—wlinth- 1 was an Americau citizen. 1 answered that I "■•not a citizen; that 1 whs a Hungarian. He added, have you claimed American protection? 1 said, yes, aud I added, that I had declared my inten tion of becoming an American citizen. They then withdrew, 1 remained in the above position, t’T the 30lh of June. In the interval, Commander Sell wartz, fearing to he assailed by the people of Smyrna placed two armed men by side of me, aud four above’ my head, with orders to shoot mo If I should move. Ou the 30th of June, I was brought again to the su- loou, where I found the Austrian Consul General, who asked me the question, if I would accept a full amnesty with the means of rrturniug to Hungary, or if I preferred to return to Americu? I answered, it is useless to ask such a question of a person whom you hold in chains; set me at liberty and then I will make my choice. He again asked the same ques tion, aud us he insisted upon my giviug a reply, I told him that I had already stated my having pledged iny faith to Aine.ica, aud that I wished to go thither. After this conversation I was returned to the hold aud nothing more transpired until the 2d of July* At about 8 A. M. of that day, Captain Ingraham uame to me alone, having requested Commander Schwartz to withdraw, and asked me the question, whether 1 claimed or nor the American protection. Upon answering that I did claim it, he said I should have it, and loft. Shortly after 1 saw preparations being made on board lor a fight, and the six armed mou which had previously bean placed by my sido and above me,took their former threatening position. 1 learned aflerwurds that this was in consequence of Captain Ingraham having notified Commander Schwartz, that if I was not liberated before 11 A.M., he should take me. At II, the Austrian commaiidui said to me, that the Austrinu Consul Generul was induced to release mo, but that he, ns an Austriuu officer would not do so. I continued to remain iu the hold till 4 P. M. when soveral soldiers of tho llussar hurried me in a boat, always in chaius, and brought me to the wharf, and from thence to the French hospital, where the French Consul General kiudly received mu iu person, aud immediately caused my chains to he removed, and placed me in a pleasant and comfortable room with good attendance, and every other comfort of life.— Oo the 21st of of September, Mr. Offloy, who, since my arrival in the French hospital, had tiot ceased to show towards mo the greatest possible solicitude, came to sen me, and communicated to mo that Mr. Brown bad arrived from Cousteutiuople with the convention stipulated between tho American and Austrian legstious, aud hauded to mo tbe following extract from the Hon. BIr. Marsh’s letter askiug me my written acceptance of the couditiou* stated ikereiu: EXTRACT. Constantinople, Sept. 19,1853.

With this dispatch. Mr. Offley want to the French Consul, end stopped the act of my being forcibly taken from the French hospital in compliance with Mr. Brown's request. Whereupon Mr. Brown left for Constantinople. On the 7tb of October 1 wee given, by Mr. Offley, an official copy of an extract of a letter from the Hon. Mr. Marsh .a* follows: Extract of • letter from the Hon. George P. Marsh, to the (J. 8. Consulate at Smyrna, dated 5th October, 1853. " A" the head of the Legation, and as a profes sional lawyer, I cannot consent to be governed by tho opinions of Air. Kozsta on questions of the legel effect of written instruments or of municipal orin ternational law, and ba must abide by tbo decision of tho Legation, or suffer tbe consequences." "I now repeat that the reservation in Mr. de {truck's letter is no part of tho agreement bciwesu him and myself, that uo assent to the principle in sisted on by Austria has beeu giveu by me, aud that the reservation has no legal effect whatever on tbe rights of the Austrian, Government or of Kozsta." "Correct copy. E. 8. Offley, U. 8. Consul." As this extract was a peremptory order to loave, and as tho Hon. Mr. Marsh sialod that the conditions 3 [reed between himself end Baron Bruck, gave no ght whatever to Austria upon me, I made my way to the States in tho first next Mailing vessel, after giving to Mr. Offley my following declaration : Smyrna, Sept. 14,1853. E. S. Offley, Esq., U. 8. Consul :— "Sir—As you informed me that the Minister resi dent at Constantinople had assured you that the servatious respecting myself was no part of the con vention betweeu himself and the Austrian Intemun- eio, aud that he had not giveu his cousent to that ominous reservation, which fact soems to save both the honor of the government, which was pleased to defend me, as well as my interests ami my dignity. 1 will now leave for tho U. 8. and thus save from further embarrassment the Legation at Constantino ple and this Consulate. "But in order that it may be established that uever intended, by like tact. to have consented to clause which would auoiliilate man's freedom, hereby give this solemn declaration, that, as the right of circulation is one of tha first practices ol freedom, 1 intend to preserve the right, as every other cilizon, of*freely going to aud coming fro whatever my business will allow, aud this witmn censing, to eniov the protection of our flag under whose shield 1 iiavo placed myself.
