Mr. Marcy’a Letter.
[concluded.]
It is not contended that this initiatory step
in the process of naturalization invested him
with all the civil rights of an American citizen •
but it is sufficient for all the purposes of this case
to show that he was clothed with an American
nationality ; and in virtue thereof the Govern
ment of the United States was authorized to
extend to him its protection at home and abroad
Mr. Hulsemann, as the undersigned believes,
tails into a great error—an error fatal to some of
his most important conclusions—by assuming
that a nation can properly extend its protection
only to native-born or naturalized citizens,
i his is not the doctrine of international law,
nor is the practice of nations circumscribed
within such narrow limits. This law does not,
as has been before remarked, complicate ques
tions of this nature by respect for municipal
codes. In relation to this subject it has clear
and distinct rules of its own. it gives the na
tional character ot the country not only to na
tive-born and naturalized citizens, but to all
residents in it who are there with or even with
out an intention to become citizens, provided
they have a domicil therein. Foreigners may,
and often do, acquire a domicil in a country,
even though they have entered it with the
avowed intention not to become naturalized cit
izens, but to return to their native land at some
remote and uncertain period; and whenever
they acquire a domicil international law at once
impresses upon them the national character of
the country of that d< micil. It is a maxim of
international law that domicil confers a national
character; it does not allow any one who has a
domicil to decline the national character thus
conterred; it forces it upon him, often very
much against his will and to his great detriment.
International law looks only to the national
character in determining what country has the
right to protect. If a person goes from this
country abroad with the nationality of the
United States, tt is law enjoins upon other na
tions to respect him, in regard to protection, as
an American citizen. It concedes to every
country the right to protect any and all who
may be clothed with its nationality. These are
important principles in their bearings upon the
questions presei.ted in Mr. Hulsemann’s note,
and are too obvious to be contested; but, as
they are opposed to some of the positions taken
by Austria, the undersigned deems it respectful
in such a case to sustain them by reference to
authorities:
The position is a clear one that, if a person
goes into a foreign country and engages in trade
there, be is, by the law of nations, to be consid
ered a merchant of that country, and a subject for
all civil purposes, whether that country be hos
tile or neutral.”—l Kent Com , 75.
Again: The same authority says that—
“ In the law ol nations, as to Europe, the rule
is that rnen take their national character from
the general character of the country in which
they reside.”—lbid, 78.
It Koszta ever had a domicil in the United
States, he was in virtue thereof invested with
the nationality ot this country, and in this char
acter continued as long as that domicil was re
tained. There are cases in w hich i is difficult
to settle the question of domicil; but that ol
Koszta is not one of them. The mo3t approved
definitions of a domicil are the following :
k ' A residence at a particular place, accompa
nied with positive o. presumptive proof of con
tinuing there for an unlimited time.”— (i Bin
ney s Reports, 349 ) If it sufficiently appear
that the intention of removing was to make a
permanent settlement for an indefinite time, the
light ol domicil is acquired by s. residence of a
few days”—(The Venus, 8 Conch, 279 )
“ Vattel has defined domicil to be a fixed lesi
dence in any place, wirh an intention of always
staying there. But this is not an accurate state
ment. It would be more correct to say that
that place is properly the domicil ol a person in
which his habitation is fixed, without any pres
ent intention of removing therefrom.”—(Story’s
Con ot Laws, § 43.) ** A person who removes
to a foreign country, settles him-elf there, and
engages in the trade ot the country, furnishes by
these acts such evidence of an intention peima-
Hently to reside there as *o stamp him with thf
national character of the State where be re
sides”— (Tin. Venus.B Cranch,279 )
Ap >ly thes principles to the case under con
sideration. nod the inevitabe result is tbai
Kosz'a had a domicil in the United States. Hr
came to and resided in this country one year anc
eleven months. He came here with the inten
tion of making it his future This inten
tion was manifested in several ways, but mosl
significantly by bis solemn declaration upon
oath. There can be no better evidence of his
design ot making the United States his future
home than such a declaration ; and to this kind
of evidence of the intention, the indispensable
element of true domicil, civilians have always
attached importance. (Phillimore, § 188) In
the case ol Koszta we have ail that is required
to prove he had a domicil in the United States—
the concurrence of an actual residence with the
intention to make this country his future
home.
The establishment of his domicil here invested
him with the national character of this country,
and with that character be acquired the right
to claim protection from the United States, and
they had t'.e right to extend it to him as long
as that character continued.
The next question is, was Koszta clothed
with that character when he was kidnapped in
the streets of Smyrna, and imprisoned on board
of the Austrian brig-of-war Huszar? The na
tional character acquired by residence remains
as long as the domicil continues, and that con
tinues not only as long as the domiciled person
- continues in the country of his residence, but
until he acquires a new domicil. The law as to
the continuance and change of a domicil is
clearly stated in the following quotation from an
eminent jurist:
“ However, in many cases actual residence is
not indi pensable to retain a domicil after it is
once acquired ; but it is. retained, animo tolo by
the mere intention not to change it, or to adopt
another, if, therefore, a person leaves his home
for temporary purposes, but with an intention to
return to it. this change of place is not in law a
change of domicil. Thus, if a person should go
on a voyage to sea, or to a foreign country, for
health or for pleasure, or for business of a tempo
porary nature, with an intention to return, such
a transitory residence would not constitute a
new domicil, or amount to an abandonment of
the old one ; for it is not the mere act of inhabi
tancy in a place which makes it the domicil, out
it is the fact coupled with the intention of re
maining there, animo manendi” —(Story’s Con.
of Laws, 4 44.) *
At the very last session of the Supreme Court
of the United States a case came up for adjudica
tion presenting a question as to the domicil of
Gen. Kosciusco at the time of his death. The
decision, which was concurred in by all the
judges on the bench, fully sustains the correct
ness of the foregoing propositions in regard to
domicil, particularly the two most important in
Koszta s case: first, that he acquired a domicil in
the United States ; and, second, that he did not
lose it by his absence in Turkey.—(l4 Howard’s
.Reports S. C. V. S., 400 )
As to the national character, according to the
law of nations, depends upon the domicil, it re
mains as long as tbe domicil is retained, and is
changed with it. Koszta was, therefore, vested
with the nationality of an American citizen at
Smyrna, it be, in contemplation of law, had a
docnicil in the United States. Tne authorities
already refei red to show that, to lose a domic,l
when once obtained, the domiciled person must
leave the country of his residence with the in
tention to abandon that residence, and must ac
quire a domicil in another. Both of these facts
are necessary to affect a change of dornicil; but
neither of them exists in Koszta’s case. The
facts show that he was only temporarily absent
from this country on private busine-s, with no
intention of remaining permanently in Turkey,
but, on the contrary, was at the time of his seiz
ure awai’ing an opportunity to return to the
United States.
Whenever, by the operation of the law of na
tions, an individual becomes clothed with our
national character, be he a native-born or na
turalized citizen, an exile driven flora bis early
jjome by political oppression, or an emigrant
enticed from it by the hopes of a better fortune !
ior himself and his posterity, he can claim the
protection of this Government, and it may re
spond to that claim without being obliged to ex
plain its conduct to any foreign Power; for it is
its duty to make its nationality respected by
tbei n b*'° n 8 res P ec * ed * n every quarter of
1 his right to protect persons having a domicil,
though not native born or naturalized citizens,
rests on the firm foundation of justice, and the
claim to be protected is earned by considerations
which the protecting power is not at liberty to
disregard. Such domiciled citizen pays the same
price for his protection as native born or natu
ralized citizens pay for them. He is under the
l»onds of allegiance to the country of his resi
dence. and if he breaks them incurs the same
penalties; he owes the same obedience to the
civil laws, and must discharge the duties they
impose on him ; his property is in the same way
and to the same extent as theirs liable to contri
bute to the support of the Government. In war
he shares equally with them in the calamities
which may belall the country ; his services may
be required for its defence; his life may be per
illed and sacrificed in maintaining its rights and
vindicating its honor. In nearly all respects his
and their condition as to the duties and burdens
of Government are undistinguishable; and what
reasons can be given why, so far at least as re
gards protection to person and projierty abroad
as well as at borne, his rights should not be co
extensive with the rights of native born or nat
uralized citizens ? By the law of nations they
have the same nationality ; and what right has
any foreign power, tor the purpose of making
distinction between them, to look behind the
character given them by that code which regu
lates national intercourse? When the law of na
tions determines the nationality of any man,
foreign Governments are bound to respect its
decision
They would have no cause to complain if the
protecting power should stand upon its extreme
rights in all cases ; but that power, in discharg
ing its duties of protection, may, for sufficient
reasons, have some regard for the civil distinc
tions which its own laws make between the
different classes of persons to whom it has the
right, under international law, to extend its pro
tection. It will naturally watch with more care
and may act with more vigor in behalf of na
tive bom and naturalized citizens than in behalf
of those who, though clothed with its nationali
ty, have not been so permanently incorporated
into its political community.
Giving effect to these well established princi
ples and applying them to the facts in the case,
the result is. that Koszta acquired while in the
United States their national character, that he
retained that charactei when he was seized at
Smyrna, and that he had a right to be respected
as such while there by Austria and every other
foreign power. The right of a nation to protect
and require others to respect, at home and
abroad, all who are clothed with its nationality,
is no new doctiine now for the first time brought
into operation by the United States. It is com
mon to all nations, and has had the sanction of
their practice for ages: but it is new that at this
late period, when the United States a-sert a
claim to it as a common inheritance, it should at
once be discovered that it is a doctrine fraught
with danger, and likely to compromit the peace
ot the world. The United States see no cause
lor alarm ; no reason for renouncing for them
selves what others have so long and so harmless
ly enjoyed.
There may be a reluctance in some quarters
to adopt the views herein presented relative to
the doctrine of domicil and consequent nationali
ty, lest the practical assertion of it might in some
instances give a right of protection to those who
do not deserve it. Fears are entertained that
this doctrine offers a facility for acquiring a na
tional character which will lead to alarming
abuses ; *hat under the shadow of it political
agitatois, intent U|>on disturbing the repose of
their own or other countries, might come to the
United States with a view to acquire a claim to
their protection, and then to return to their for
mer scenes ot action to carry on, under a chang
ed national character, their ulterior designs with
greater security and better success. This appre
hension is believed to be wholly unfounded.
The first distinct act done by them towards the
accomplishment of these designs would disclose
their iraudulent purpose in coming to and seek
ing a domicil in this country. Such a develop
! ment would effectually disprove the tact that
: they acquired a domicil here, and with it our na
i tionality. Without that nationality, they could
not be considered as standing under the protect
ing arm ot the United States, and consequently
could have no right to claim, and no reason to
expect, it would be exerted in their defence.
. Their fraudulent intent would defeat all they
could hope to gain by a residence in this roun
try, and by insincerely professing to make it
their home. The intention entertained in good
faith to make it such a home would be wanting,
and without such an intention neither domicil
nor nationality can be acquired. This conside
tation should dispel ail suspicions that this doc
trine as to nationality ami protection will not be
as safely used and as well guarded from abuse by
the United States as it has been in times past,
or may be in the future, by any other sovereign
power. There is nothing in the doctrine herein
maintained, or in the history of this government
to awaken the slightest apprehension that it is
in any way inclined to extend the shield of pro
tection over adventurers or seditious propagand
ists who may go from this to other countries to
engage in enterprises designed to interfere with
their politioal institutions or disturb their inter
nal quiet. The liberal policy of the United
States in regard to receiving immigrants from all
nations and extending to them the advantages
of their free institutions, makes it an act of jus
tice ou their part to maintain the right of nation
al protection to the full extent authorized by the
law of nations, and to resist with firmness any
attempt to impose new restrictions upon it.
There is another view of this case which pla
ces the conduct of the agents of this Government
at Smyrna upon equally defensible giounds. The
American Consul there and the American Lega
tion at Constantinople acted with great caution
in relation to Koszta’s claim to be regarded as
entitled to the protection of this Government.
As his naturalization had not been perfected
they hesitated at first to receive him under their
protection ; but the facts show that they ultimate-
I*y y‘elded to his application. He received from
each a Uzkereh —in effect a certificate—that the
! P ers °n to whom it is given is cared for, and re
! ceived under the protection of the Government
| whose agent has granted it.
. By the laws of Turkey and other Eastern na
tions the consulates therein may receive under
their protection strangers and sojourners whose
w th‘°tt S ° Cia snanners5 nanners do not assimilate
with the religion and manners of those countries.
Ihe persons thus received become thereby in
vested with the nationality of the protecting
consulate. These consulates, and other European
establishments in the East, are in the constant
I habit of opening their doors for the reeettion of
such inmates, who are received irrespective of
the country of their birth or allegiance. It is
not uncommon for them to nave a large number
of such proteges. International law Recognises
and sanctions the rights acquiesced by this” con
nexion.
‘"ln the law of nations as to Europe, the rule is,
that men take their national character from the'
general character of the country in which they
reside ; and this rule applies equally to America.
But in Asia and Africa and immiscible character
is kept up, and Europeans tiading under the pro
tection of a factory take their national character
from the establishment under which they live
and trade. This rule applies to those parts of
the world from obvious reasons of policy, be
cause foreigners are not admmitted there, as in
Europe ‘and the western part of the world,” into
the general body and mass of the society of the
nation, but 1 hey continue strangers and sojour
ners, not acquiring any national character under
the genera! sovereignty of the country.”—(l.
Kent’s Cam., 78-’9.)
The Lords of Appeals in this High Court ot
Admiralty in England decided in 1784 that a
merchant carrying on trade at Smyrna, under
the protection ot a Dutch consul, as to be con
sidered a Dutchman as his national character
(Wheaton’s Inter. Law, 384., 3 Rob. Adm. Re
ports, 12 ) This decision has been examined
and approved by the eminent jurists who have
since written treatises on international law.
According to the principle estaulished in this
case, Koszta was invested with the nationality
of the United States, if he had it not before, the
moment was under the protection of the
American Consul at Smyrna and the American
legislation ot Constantinople. That he was so
received is established by the tezkereh they gave
him and the efforts they made for his release, j
The Cbaige d Affairs ad interim of the U. States
at Constantinople, in a letter of the 29th of June,
addressed to the imperial Internuncio, states:
It was on presenting this declaration of allegiance j
to the consulate of the United States of America
at Smyrna and to this legation that the said
Koszta was furnished with a tezkereh to come to
Constantinople and to return to Smyrna, wheuce
he was to start for New York. Since his arrival
in Turkey he has resided under the protection
of my Government, and it is a pleasure to me to
be able to state that his conduct has always been
irreproachable.”
Having been received under the protection of
these American establishments, he had thereby
acquired, according to the law of nations, their
nationality, and when wronged and outraged as
he was, they might interpose for his liberation,
and Capt. Ingraham had a right to co-operate
with them for the accomplishment of that ob
ject. Ihe exceptions taken to the manner of
that co-operation remain to be considered.
in relation to the deportment of the American
agents towards Mr. Weckbecker, the Austrian
Consul General, the undersigfied cannot conceive
that there can be any ground of complaint. Noth
ing done to or with him by Mr. Offiey, our Con
sul at Smyrna, can possibly imply disrespect to
the Emperor of Austria. Neither in his private
character nor as a functionary of the Austrian
Government did Mr. Weckbecker take an open
or an avowed part in the opening scene of the
outrage. His agency in that affair at its com
mencement was clandestine. This course im
plied a consciousness on his part that the act
was indefensible. The fact that he sought the
aid of the civil authority of Turkey to get Koszta
into his possession proves that he knew the mode
he resorted to for that purpose was illegal. The
application of Mr. Offiey to him to assist in and
consent to Koszta’s release was certainly no of
fence, and implied no disrespect either to him or
his Government.
The appeal of Mr. Biown to Capt. Ingraham
to interpose for the liberation of Koszta, and his
advice to effect it in the way it was done, must
be regarded not only as proper but praiseworthy
acts, provided Capt. Ingraham’s conduct can be
vindicated. The justification of Capt. Ingraham
will consequently exonerate Mr. Brown from
ail censure. If Capt. Ingraham’s course was
right, Mr. Brown’s cannot be wrong. The com
mander of the St. Louis was placed in a truly
embarrassing position. Charged with the pro
tection of the persons and property ot those who
had a right to the protection of his Government,
it was at the same time no less his imperative
duty to respect the authorities of all countries in
friendly relations with his own. After anxiously
considering the case presented to him at Smyrna,
he determined that he ought to effect the release
of Koszta, and, unavoidable, resort to force to ac
complish it.
It has excited some surprise here that, after a
consideration of the circumstances, an impression
should be entertained in any quarter that Capt.
Ingraham either committed or mediated hostility
towards Austria on that occasion. In passing
upon his conduct it is necessary to keep in view
the conclusions established, as the udersigned
believes, in the preceeding remarks : for he, with
out doubt, acted upon precisely the same conclu
sions. He believed that Koszta had been seized
without authority, that he was illegally impri
soned, and that he ought at once to be set at
liberty.
The first aggressive act in this case was the
seizure of Koszta at Smyrna, committed by the
piocurement of the Austrian functionaries ; the
first improper use of a national ship, the impri
sonment of Koszta therein, was made by the
commander of the Austrian brig Huszar. That
ship was converted into a prison for the illegal
detention of a person clothed with the nationali
ty of the United States, and consequently en
titled to their protection. If Austria upholds,
as it appears she does, the conduct of the com
mander of the Huszar, she is in tact the first ag
gressor. This act of the commander of the Hus
zar led to the series of other acts which consti
tute the ground of complaint against the United
States, l'he alleged authority of Austria under
treaties being set aside, no one would have ques
tioned Capt. Ingraham’s right, had he been pre
sent, to arrest the proceeding of the kidnappers in
the streets ot Smyrna, and rescue Koszta from
their hands. They were acting without and
against the civil authority of the place; they
were committing an atrocious outrage upon a
person invested with the nationality of the
United States. If he could have properly inter
lered in the first stage of this lawless transaction,
he might do so in the last. The act was, in all
its stages, a continuous wrong, and the character
of the actors, though there was a succession of
persons, was the same—they were all wrong
doers; and if they chanced to have the posses
sion of a national ship, and converted it into a
prison for the purpose of consummating this
wrong, that ship, thus desecrated, was not en
titled to the privileges of a sanctuary. Those
who had the right to claim and the jiower to
release the prisoner illegally confined therein
might treat it as a prison, and while it was de
graded to such an igi.oole puipose might lorget,
and be excused tor loigetting, that it was a na
tional ship.
There is a consideration probably not brought
to the notice of Austria, and not sufficiently re
garded by others, which places the acts of Capt.
Ingraham in a true light, and repels the infer
ence of intended hostile demonstrations towards
Austria. It was the understanding of the par
ties that Koszta should be retained at Smyrna
while the question of his nationality was pend
ing. Capt. Ingraham received satisfactory evi
dence of a design, on the part of the Austrian
functionaries at Smyrna and Constantinople, to
disregard this arrangemeut and remove him
clandestinely from the Huszar on board of a
steamer, tor the purpose of takingjhira to Trieste.
The information was such as did cot permit
Capt, Ingraham to doubt that the commander of
the Huszar concurred in this design, and intend
ed to aid in carrying it into effect. By this evi
dence of the want of good faith on the part of
the Austrian functionaries, in which the Capt.
of the Hu-zar was implicated, the Captain of
the St. Louis was placed in the perplexing alter
native of surrendering the captive, without fur
ther efforts, to the sad fate which awaited him,
or to demand his immediate release, and in case
of refusal to enforce it. The Government of the
United States exceedingly regrets that he was
reduced to this painful alternative; but it cannot
find, after a full consideration of al! the circum
stances, any good reason for disapproving the
course he pursued. It is not just to Capt. Ingra
ham to look at the affair as it was at the precise
point ol time when the demand for the releaso
of Koszta was made. I'he antecedent events
qualify and legalize the act. The Austrian
functionaries had obtained the possession of the
person of Koszta, not i,i a fair or allowable way,
but by violating the civil laws of Turkey arid
the rights of humanity. Under these circum
stances their custody of him was entitled to no
respect lrom the agent of the Government w ich,
by virtue of his nationality, had aright to pro
tect him. Had all the circumstances been as
they were, except a change of place—instead of
being taken from the territory of the Ottoman
Porte, had he been taken from that of the Uni
ted States, could a question have been raised
as to the propriety of Capt. Ingraham’s conduct?
If the conclusions heretofore arrived at are cor
rect, the Austrian agents had no more right to
take Koszta from the soil of the Turkish domin
ions than from the territory of the United
States, and Capt. Ingraham had the same right
,° et P ar , ld , enforce his release as he would
hav* had if Koszta had been taken from Ameri
can soil and incarcerated in a national vessel ot
the Austnan Kmperor. I n this question, con
the nlaci of H° Umted States and Austria,
the rCfn transa< | tlon » immaterial, unless
the Austrian municipal laws extended over it.
partkof* Mr^Hids y ‘ elds , a assent that
part ol Mr. Hulsemann’s note relative to the
war making power The doctrine contained in
it is sound and well sustained by most approved
au honties; but (the undersigned has not been
able to discover its applicability to the case un
der consideration. The people of the United
States, m organizing their Government, have
been careful to impose more restrictions upon
that power than any of the nations of Europe
and it cannot be admitted that these nations
have had any occasion to reprove this Govern
ment for its abuse. It has as deep an interest
and as anxious a desire to maintain international
relations of friendship and peace as any of the
Europeeti Powers, and will do as much as any of
them for public tranquility. The rules tor its
own guidence, and tor the conduct of its agents
abroad, have that end specially in view.
On entering upon the duties of his office the
President announced the policy which would be
observed by this Government in its foreign in
tercourse : " We have nothing in our history or
position to invite aggression ; we have every
* n = to us to the cultivation of relations
o peace and amity with all nations. Purposes,
er e ore, at once just and pacific, will be signi
inirc marked ,n th** conduct of our foreign af
> aVf < [tS V eed be no apprehensions of a
departure from this course
In pursuance of this policy the agents
ot this Government abroad are under instructions
to respect the rights of all nations ; and any de
viation from that course would be promptly dis
avowed, and proper reparation made for any in
jury or insult which they might offer to a friend
ly Power
The application made by Austria to the prin
cipal Powers of Europe, to warn and admonish
the United States in regard to the conduct of
their agents on the occasion before-mentioned,
implies that this Government has adopted and is
acting upon some principle hitherto unknown to
the law of nations and dangerous to public tran
quillity. The communications to the Govern
ment in compliance with this appeal, though re
spectfully made and doubtless well intended, im
ply a distrust of its good faith and fair inten
tions.
The undersigned is confident that, after due
consideration of the views here taken of the af
fair at Smyrna, those Powers which have been
so prompt to censure will be equally prompt to
correct any precipitate judgment they may have
formed in regard to it. He indulges the belief
that after a full and lair examination—not mere
ly of a detached fact but of the whole series of
facts—they will be abundantly satisfied that
the agents of this Government in that transac
tion have respected international law, and in no
particular transgressed the restrictions it im
poses.
The vindication of these agents is not placed
upon any principle new to the international
code or unknown in the practice of enlightened
nations. These nations do not hesitate, in the
exercise of the right of protection, to extend it
to |persoris (not always subjects according to
their municipal laws) who are clothed with their
nationality; and in some instances they have
carried this right of protection to limits which
this Government would not venture, because it
would not feel justified to approach; nor have any
of these nations been disposed to abandon the ex
ercise of this right from a timid apprehension
that it might possibly bring them into an occa
sional collision with other Powers.
Is there any thing in the character or condi
tion of this Government which restricts it in the
use of this right—-a common inheritance to all
—within narrower limit than are allowed to
other? In relation to international rights, the
United States ask no more than has been conce
ded to others, and will not be contented with
less. They put forth no new principles, but
claim the full benefit of those which are estab
lished.
Before closing this communication, the under
signed will briefly notice the complaint of Aus
tria againt Capt. Ingraham for violating the neu
tral soil of the Ottoman Empire. The right of I
Austria to call the United States to an account I
for the acts of their agents affecting the sovereign |
territorial right of Turkey is not perceived, and
they do not acknowledge her right to require
any explanation.
If any thing was done at Smyrna in deroga
tion of the sovereignty of Turkey, this Govern
ment will give satisfactory explanation to the
Sultan when he shall demand it, and it has in
structed its Minister resident to make this
known to him. He is the judge, and the only
rightful judge, in this affair, and the injured par
ty, too. He has investigated its meiits, pro
nounced judgment against Austria, and acquitted
the United States; yet, strange as it is, Austria
has called the United States to an account tor
violating the sovereign territorial rights of the
Emperor of Turkey.
The conclusions at which the President has
arrived, after a full examination of the transac
tion at Smyrna, and a respectful consideration of
the views ot the Austrian Government thereon,
as presented in Mr. Hjlsemann’s note, are, that
Koszta, when seized and imprisoned, was inves
ted with the nationality of the United States,
and they had, therefore, the right, if they chose
to exercise it, to extend their protection to him ;
that from international law—the only law which
can be rightfully appealed to for rules of action
in this case—Austria could derive no authority
to obstruct or interfere with the United States in
the exercise of this right in effecting the libera
tion ot Koszta; and that Capt. Ingraham’s inter
position tor his release was, under the peculiar
and ext,aordinary circumstances of the c|se,
right and proper.
These conclusions indicate to Mr. Hulsemann
, the answer whicti the under-igned is instructed
by the President to make to the Emperor of
Austria totne demands presented in Mr. Hulse
mann’s note.
[ The President does not see sufficient cause for
disavowing the acts of the American agents
which are complained of by Austria. Her
i claim for satisfaction on that account has been
carefully considered and is respectfully declined.
Being convinced that the seizure and impri
> son merit ol Koszta were illegal and unjuslifia
i ble, the President also declines to give his con
sent to his deliveiy to the Consul General of
, i Austria at Smyrna; but, after a full examination
; °f the case, as herein presented, he has instructed
j Hie undersigned to communicate to Mr. Hulse
; rnann his confident expectation that the Empe
ror ot Austria will take the prop«-r measures to
cause Martin Koszta to be restored to the same
condition he was in before he was seeized in the
: streets of Smyrna on the 21st of J une last.
The undersigned avails himself of this occa
sion to renew to Mr. Hulsemann the assurance
of his high consideration. W. JL. Marcv,
