The Collina mail steamship Baltic, Capt. Com
Block, arrived at tbi* port at half-past twelve o'clock
1 yesterday afternoon. She left Liverpool at two
O'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the 27th ult.
' Time: ? Ten days, twenty two hours, and thirty
xuinutes.
? She experienced strong westerly gales and a heavy
*bead sea during the fir*t half of tbe passage, and
moderate, pleasant weather the remainder of the
time.
The Baltic has a very heavy cargo, and nearly a
second cargo had to be refused for want of room. On
the 20th the following notice was posted on the Li
verpool Exchange : ?
Cargo for the Baltic for New York, will b? received at
the Bu.fcitton dcck u nio'low, at eight o'clook. Ia con

In accordance with this invitation, over seventy
merchants assembled, and drew I ts for precedence.
The export to America baa seldom, if ever, been so
active from Liverpool as it is at present. Our cor
respondent visited the sheds of tbe Cunard company
at Cobnrg docks, and found there, also, a larger col
lection of goods than the steamships could at all ac
?ommodate.
The Baltic brings one hundred and sixty passen
gers, among whom we notice the names of Bishop
Mcllvaine, of Ohio, General Cooper, tbe Hon. T.
Butler King, Alien Dod worth, and the Jullien
troupe.
There was a splendid concert given on board the
Baltic on the passage. O Id Neptune was the leader,
assisted by Juliien. The following was the pro

The affair passed off exceedingly well. We learn
from Parser Craig that Jullien's execution of the
"Nightingale Waltz" upon the piccolo, was really ex
traordinary. and gave great satisfaction. Mr. Dod.
worth excited the highest admiration by his fine
performances; and the amateurs were excellent,
and were praised, as few artistes are praised, by Old
Neptune in bis peculiar gruff way. The amount of
money realized was two hundred dollars.
Among the passengers we also notice the name of
Captain J. F. Spercer, late of the packet ship I. Z.,
of this port. The I. Z. was destroyed by fire on the
7th nit., in lat. 41 30, Ion. CI 45. The particulars of
the disaster are given in another column.
The Russo-Turkish question has not yet been set

whether the fleets will first withdraw from Turkish
waters, or the Russians from Turkish territory.
Both the Sultan and the Czar hiving now accepted

The Costa Arrest?Full Account of his Treatment
by the Greeks ? TTie Action of Captain Ingraham
? Great Excitement on Shore? The Austro- Turk
ish Convention ? Letters Addressed to the Com
mander ?/ the St. Louis, tfc.
An affair having occurred here of some impor
tance , and which will naturally excite math interest
in the United States, I will endeavor to give you, if
??t a graphic, a truthful statement of it.
On the morning of the 23d June we heard, to our
astonishment, a most brutal eutrago had been com
mitted the evening previous, by a band of about fif
teen ruffians, under the direotien of the Arstrian I
Consul, upon one Martin Costa, a Hungarian refu
gee, under American protection, 07 being kidnapped
whilst drinking quietly his coffee on the Marino,
pushed into the sea, and finally placed on board an
Austrian brig-of-war in the harbor, aud there
chained.
Immediately this affair became known there was a
universal feeling of horror and disgust at the gross
outrage, and a committee was immediately formed of
English, French and Americans, for the purpose of
waiting upcn the English and French C insula, to
get them to interfere, as far as possiblo, to nave him.
Whil.-t at the English Consulate, we heard that an
American ship-of-war, with her stars and stripes, wa a
coming up the bay. It was the St. Louis, Capt. In
graham; and as soon as the fact became known, the
oommittee immediately went on board, to call upon
Capt. Ingraham, to persuade him to act in the affair.
Before this, however, he had sent for the American
Consul to know what had occurred, as some of Cos
ta's friends bad been on board, stating the affair.
The Consul informed Capt. Ingraham that it waa
true, but that the Hungarian he did not see had a
right to American protection, his document being
only a certificate from the eourt ot New York, in
which he had declared his Intention of becoming an
American citizen. Nat satisfied with this, however,
Capt. Ingraham went alongside of the Austrian brig,
intending to see Costa. He was answered that
Costa was not on board. He then with the Consul
immediately went to the Austrian Consul, and re
quested to see tho captain of the brig. On seeing
the Austrian captain, he immediately, in the most
eourteoua manner, acceded to Capt Ingraham 's re
quest, and went with him to see the refugee, of whom
ho asked several questions. The refugee answered
that he was a Hungarian, that he had been to
America, had remaiced there a certain time, but
had no other passport Jhan the one alluded to. He
did not at that time demand American protection,
probably on account of his being in tho preaenco of
Auatrian officers. Capt. Ingraham then left the
brig.
During the evening tho excitement waa very great
on ahore. Some refugees had collected, and dnring
the time that two Austrian officers were on tho Ma
rino unarmed, they wore attacked, and one of them,
Baron Adelberg, asHassinated in a most brutal man
ner, and was found dead in the sea the next morn
ing. This inhuman act met with universal execra
tion. But still this had nothing to do with tho gross
ontrage towards M. Costa. The English and French
Consuls sent to the Governor of Smyrna, tolling him
an insult had been committed upon the Turkish flag,
and that it must not be permitted. Capt. Ingraham,
with the American Consul, also went to tbo
Governor, protesting against such an act, and asking
him to protect the honor of hie own flay:, and to save
the man ; he having been, against all right, seized in
a neutral territory. However, the Governor would
not act in the matter, saying he must fir?t hear from
Constantinople. The Austrian Consul, on the other
hand, demanded the Governor to seize the assassins
of the Austrian officer ; but as tho Governor tljought
the Austrian Consul had taken tho police of the city
in his own hands in this affair, he took no vigorous
means in the matter, and the real c*l rits escaped.
The same evening a note was addressed to Captain
Ingraham, of which the following is a copy : ?
t-MVK.vA June -i, 1853
Dear Sir ? I have to report 'hut lbw man wa* one of
the refugees whom the Turkish government refused te
give up to Austria; thin iMuul is tm-H'nouut 10 i tcuar

papers, was utder proven of becoming an Aiu*mc*u citi

Turkey agrees to send them out of tbe country, is a pro if

(Signsd) X X
For himself and other Americans in Smyrna.
To which Captain Ingraham immediate'y replied,
stating he wasas sensible as we were of the gross out
rage committed upon the [ierson of Martin Costa by
the Consul of Austria, and ended his note by saying:
" Anything I can do in behalf of this unf rtunate
man, I shall be most happy to aid you and the
Americans residing In Smyrna."
A day or two after this, a note was addressed to
Captain Ingraliam, signed " Humanitas," staling
that it was believed to be the intention to seud Costa
to Trieste by the steamer the next day. Captain
In grab am immediately remonstrated against sending
Costa away before he had time to near from his
Minister at Constantinople, and got under way by
daylight, placing his ship ahead of the brig and
steamer, no doubt to watch their movements. De
spatches were received from the American Charge
at Constantinople, but they were not of such a na
ture as to enable Captain Ingraham to act He,
however, demanded that, the Hungarian should re
maiu in port until Saturday, the 2d inst., which wa*?
acceded to.
Upon going on boar! the morning of the 2d inst.,
we were surprised to find the St. Louis clearing for
action, and soon found out that, despatches hid been
received from Mr. Brown, our Charge de Affiires at
Constantinople, advising Captain Ingraham to take
Martin Costa out of the Austrian brig, he having
sworn allegiance to America, arid was more an Ame
rican, in neutral territory, than an Austrian subject.
Capt. Ingraham, on receipt of these despatches, (8
o'clock. A.M ,) immediately went on board the Aus
trian brig and requested to see Martin Costa, which
was granted. Captain I. requested of Captain
Swartz (of the Austrian brig) to seethe prisoner
alone, which was also complied with. Costa was
then asked several questions ; amongst others, if
tie demanded protection from the American flag,
He answered he did so, and was replied to that he
" should have it." Alter having informed the Ann
trian commander of his conversation with Costa,
Cnptain I. returned to his oorn ship, and wrote to
Captain Swartz, demanding Coita should be deliver
ed upto him, granting, ultimate ly, until 4 o'clock P.M.
for his decision. At this moment an Austrian
schooner of-war, of 10 guns, got under way, and
continued, until the affair was e ver, hovering about
the brig to protect her. The tatter manned her guns
and cleared for action. Three Austrian steamers
were also at anchor, ready for au emergency.
The excitement on shore had become intense; it
was evident nothing hiit some friendly interference
could prevent a conflict in the port Both Ameri
cans and Austrians were standing at their guns, the
former determined to have Martin Costa, the latter
determined to prevent it ? only four hours remaining
of the time granted to the Austrian* for their decision.
At this time it became known that the American
and Austrian Consuls hail agreed between them
selves that M. Costa should be given np to the French
Consul, there to remain until the affair should be
settled between the two governments. Ths schooner
anchored, and a little after 4 o'clock, Martin Costa
was seen coming on shore out of the brig, under the
care of Austrian marines, and an American boat
pushed off from the St. Louis to accompany it. A
rush was now made to the place where Martin Cost*,
in chains, was to land; when he did so, shouts from
the thousands of spectators rent the air with " Vive
l'Amerique!" " Vive l'Ameriqne!" He was then
conducted to the place prepared for him, where he
now remains, under the French protection.
The enthusiasm was beyond description, and the
admiration for the energetic conduct of Mr. Hrown,
our acting Charge, and for the gallant conduct of
Captain Ingraham and his officers, throughout the
whole sffair, was as intense as it was universal. , All
nations here, with one accord, except, of course, the
A ustriiins, joined in this feeling.
1 forgot to mention above, that with the energetic
deeratch of Mr. Brown, wm a letter to Captain In
gruham from Mr. Lyons, (which does him the great
est honor ) a member of Congress from New York,
now at Constantinople, agreeing' fully with Mr.
Brown, and urging Captain Jntrraham to take imme
diate steps tf) save Costa, and thus add gl^ry to his
country and her navv, and honor to himself. I will
ajao add that the American offieera and every one
elpe ajrree that the Anntrians, 011 their part, behaved
most gallantly, and that during the whole aff.iir the
utmost courtesy was observed by them to the Ame
rican officers. I have no doubt they wonld have de
fended their ship to tl. last. The Austrian Consul
was alone to blame in the affair, not they. The day
after this affnlr, the Turkish government sent down
a commissioner to demand the Austrian brig to give
up Costa to them ? bi\t it was too late.

1 1 ave, unexpectedly, to again address you, and
with that pride that ever fills the heart of an Ameri
can in his triumphs, shall detail you the events al
luded to, and I trukt that they will prove of interest.
Upon our arrival 1-ere on the 23d ult, we learned
immediately that thi day previous a Hungarian,
Martin Costa, w1k> formerly formed one or Koa
suth's suite in America, li'id, by the order of
the Austrian Consul, been seized by abont twenty
Greeks. "While quietly smoking hu pipe, a hi^so
was thrown over his head, and being dragged into
the water, was bound and carried off to the Austrian
brig Hozzar and placed in irons. Great enthusiasm
greeted our arrival. The foreigners crowded to the
ship and said that it was an ordinatiom of Providence
that we bad arrived. Immediately npon learning
the above facts, Capt. Duncan, N. Ingraham, with
the American Consul, called to see the Hungarian,
who, it was said, had au American protection.
Stopping at the brig Huzzar, the first lieutenant of
that vessel told Capt. Ingraham that the Hungarian
was not on aboard, which proved a falsehood. Captain
Ingraham determined not to be put off They re
paired to the shore, called upon the Austrian Consul
and demanded to seethe man. There he found the cap
tain of the brig, who politely accompanied him to his
vessel, where Capt. Ingraham found the Hungarian
in the main hold, chained to the deck. In the conver
sation that took plate he stated that he had declared
his intention to become a eitizen of the United
States; but he had no papers, nor could he demand
onr protection.
Placed in a situation that required much care to
avoid difficulties, our captain wrote to Constantino
ple, and while awaiting an answer, one of the offi.
eers of the brig Huzzar was attacked on shore, and
(tabbed. J umping into the water, he was drowned
On the day of his funeral, the men and officers who
attended were fully armed. The Austrian consul,
by request, obtained a large guard of Turkish sol
diers, armed his dwelling, as he feared assassination.
While waiting the arriral of our letter from Con
stantinople, Captain Ingraham learning that the
Austrian brig would either get underweigh and take
tEe Hungarian to Trieste, or else he would be trans
ferred to the mail steamer and sent there, the citi
zens met in large bodies and held meetings, and
maiiy committees called upon Captain Ingraham
and begged him to do all in his power. An anoay
mous letter was received by Captain Ingraham, set
ting forth the case in a light which we had known
nothing of. It was signed " Humanity."
A written protest was sent to the captain if the
Huzzar, by Captain Ingraham. Mo definite reply
w ai- received, and on the morning of the 2iHli ult
wo got under weigh, and beating to the wind
ward, anchored close to the Austrian brig, with
every preparation for an action. On shore th
excitement was intense. Thousands thronged the
shore and anxiously awaited our expected engage
ment; our position was excellent; with one broad
side we conld rake the brig, and with the other sink
the mail steamers if they offered any reaLstanci \ ;
however, remained quiet, and we received aasur. > i
that the man should not be removed until we he : i !
from Constantinople. The Hungarian still remained
in chains, and on the 1st instant a fine large Aus
trian schooner, of sixteen guns, arrived; also, two
mail steamers carrying tour guns each. Thus you
see the Austrians had nearly double our number of
guns. On the morning of the 2d July, the mail ar
rive J from Constantinople, and Captain Ingraham
received letters from Mr. Brown, stating that
the Hungarian, Martin Costa, had from him an
American protection. In the morning, a little be
fore M o'clock, Captain Ingraham went to the Aus
trian brig and saw the imprisoned Hungarian, and
asked him it he wished American protection; he re
plied ?' I do." Then Captain Ingraham said, "you
shall have it;" and immediately our gallant captain
went into the brig's cabin and demauded that th?
prisoner should be sent on shore in eight hours, and
then Le returned to his own ship; we immediately
went to quarters and got ready for a general action.
At 10 o'clock a letter arrived from the captain of the
brig Huzzar, protesting against our firing Into either
him or the schooner, in order to get pnsession of
Martin Costa's person; we returned no reply, save
a repetition of our demands in writing.
Shortly after it had become known that we would
attack the Austrian vessels if the man was not de
livered up by four o'clock in the afternoon, the
shores became crowded with thousands to sec the
tight. The schooner got under weigh, and lay to, off
and on, about a halt mile distant; tne brig remained
at quarters, and silently, for several hours, we
awaited the time for action. Many deputations of
citizens came from shore, and begged that w? would
not fight. Captain Ingraham invariably replied : ?
"Gentlemen, the man must be given up into some
ore's hands on shore, elso I will take him. My
cause is that of justice and I cannot fail. I have
stated the time."
The citizens retOmed to shore, and soon after we
lranied that the iustrian, American and French
consul* had entered into a convention that the
Hungarian should be given up to the French consul,
to live at his house, and to remain there until the
American and Austrian consuls should both give
their written conse nt tor his delivery to either the
one or the other, and tbat the ambassadors at Con
stantinople should decide that ? all subject to the ap
proval of Captain Ingraharm. Oar object was gained,
and Captain iDgraham with his usual suavity con
plied. A few minutes before four o'clock, Martin
Co-ta was wen to pass over the brig's side, enter a
boat and pull towards the chore. Our boat followed,
and as we touched the shore the shonti of " Vive
rjmericaiiu!" "Vive la Rrpubliqut !" " Bravo
were denfening. With wonts of joy our
oflirers were surrounded, a thousand hats flew in the
air. find the people would almost have carried na on
tlielr shoulders.
In th? evening a band came off in a small steam
er and serenaded us, and gave repeated cheers, with
their usual Fhouts ot " Vive la Reptib/ifW.'1
Thus ended July 2, a prtud day to us, and. I'm
sure, to every one who loves liberty. But let mc
rai c my voice and give to gallant Captaia Ingrahnm
the credit that his promptitude, energy and decision
deserves. Thus in this instance, as has ever marked
liib career in the Navy acting with that determina
tion that carries conviction to all of the justice of
his course, he gained hw object, added more ^lory to
his name, rescued an American citizen from the
hands of blood thirsty Anstria, and threw noon the
stars and stripes a new gleam of Liberty s light,
which, God grant, m y ever protect, at : he has
done, the oppressed. The enthusiasm of the crew
was great ; every heart was deeply interested, and
to the last drop of their blood would they have
fought. Cool, calm and determined, they stood for
horrs silently at tlicir guns, impatiently awaiting
the signal to rush to certain victory.
It was a fine sieht, and one that conld not fail to
make the warm blood of every lover of liberty dauce
through his veins. Let this ever stand as an example
for the Mure actions of onr naval commanders. To
beard the lion in his den. and at all hnzardri protect onr
citizens abroad. Doubtlessly onr gallant captain will
be called home to explain this affair to the govern- |
ment. What the decision m*y be, I know not, but
let the public rest assured that all praise Is due Cap
tain Ingraham, his officers and crew, for thu firm
ness of their conduct in this affair.
Again within this year has the pnblic seen what
1 metal at least two of their naval commanders are
composed of?Hollins in the Gulf squadron, and Don
can N. InjT*b*m in the Mediterranean, have shown
truW how bravely aur flag to borne. And they give
evidence, should war occur, what promptitude would
follow every step.
On the Fourth, our Independence day, the citizens
ashore pave a splendid picnic to all the officer* of
the fit. Louis. The affair came off on the opposite
shore of the bay, and I am told the officers proved their
ability ti^entertuin the fair as well as to fight for the
ojipresfcd. To-norrow we sail tor Malta, and I most
wish you adieu, leaving for you to place this matter
before the jroblic in its true light, which to as 1 have
stated it to you. H. T.

We have just arrived from Greece, after a passage
of nine days. Yesterday we kept up, as customa
ry with us, the Fourth. In coming through the
Dardanelles we passed through the French and Eug'
ltoh fleets, which amount to twenty-eight sail. We
exslianged salutes, while under full sail, and it was
a splendid sight. A short time afterwards we were
very much annoyed by a flight of locusts' which con.
tinued about three hours, during whioh the air
looked as if filled with snow. Many struck our sails
and the deck waa literally strewn with them.
The fortifications are very fine; tbe gnnsareof
immense calibre, and are of such dimensions that if
a po<: - devil was caught in the rain he might crawl
into one with ease for shelter. In the French and
English squadrons they think there will be no war
and it is the general impression out heae that the
Russians are inclined to get ont of it.
Tbe Hon. Mr. Marsh and wife arc on board with
us. We like him exceedingly. We expect to visit
the Saltan in a few days with him. To-morrow
one of their great festival days. All well on board

The departure of the Emperor and Empress for the
Pyrenees is decided upon, but the utiaodt secrecy is
kept about the day at which it will take place.
Nevertheless, all the preparations for the excursion
are completed, and n* doubt the imperial couple
will leave St. Cloud in the meat strict incognito, as
it has been decided. On Saturday last, Lonls Napo
leon and the Empress were driving in the neighbor
hood of Versailles, when their carriage, whilst cross
ing the railway, was nearly crushed by the engine
of a train whick was passing at the same time. The
consequence was that the horses were frightened by
the whistle of the engine and ran fer a few minutes,
thus giving ta the vehicle an impulse which saved
the lives of the Emperor and Empress. This last
person was so much frightened that she fainted,
and did >ot reaaver for about five mi nates.
The imperial court has pat en mourning for threi
day a, in ccn^equence of the death of Mme. Ferdi
nand de Lesseps, one of the relations of Express
Eugenia. The ceremony of the funeral which took
place on the 18th instant, in the church of La Made
leine, was attended by all the diplomatic corps aud
a numerous audience.
The military displays are still a ordre du jour at
the camp of Satory, and the Emperor is giving him
self, every week, the pleasure of a mimic war,
which pcems to afford him muck gratification. On
Monday last, we had the spectacle of an Imi
tation of the battle of Marengo? the celebra
ted battle of General Bonaparte? whic'a was a very
excellent representation of this memorable victory |
of the first Napoleon. The Empress, Duke and
Duchess of Albe, as well as Queen Christina and
Duke of Riansares, wore present and toek much inte
rest in the mustering of the troops. The Emperor,
desirons to afford some amusement to the troops, has
ordered that an immense amphitheatre, built with
earth and sand, wood and canvass, should be bnilt
on the ground of Satoiy, and that twice or three
times a week the company of riders of the Circus
and Hippodrome would amufe the soldiers and off!
cers with their numerous performances. The first
entertainment of the kind will be given on Tuesday
of next week, in case the provisional amphitheatre
will be completed.
The Downier Queeu of Spain, Christina, is now
residing at Ln Ualmafson, near Rueil, a few miles
ftom Paris. The minor of her desire to marry one
of her daughters to Pruce Napoleon Bonaparte, son
of Jerome, is without any fouiuUtiou, and has been
denied by her as well a* by the impen d family.
Louis Napoleon sent to Christina one of his ai<Kde
cann to invite her to come to St. Cloud, wheie she
was t.iken into one of the imperial vehicles and re
ceived by the Emperor and Empress. General Mu
noz, her hunband, was present and was gallantly en
tertained by the Emoress, aud Christina took occa
sion to pay her u charming compliment upon the
high rank which she bad exchanged for a lower con
dition. On Tuesday last, Louis Napoleon and his
wife returned the visit to Queen Christina, in her re
sidence ot La Malmaison; and lam told that the Em
peror could not retrain from showing some emo
tion when he entered the house in which hiH
mother and relatives bad been living under
so Many rxlraordir.ary nositions. In short, the
sojoln of Christina in Europe must be con
sidered as a concession made to the revolutionary
opposition of Madrid, which a'tributcd to the in
fluence of the widow of Ferdinand and to the Duke
of Biansares, her new husband, the dangerous crisis
whit h lias been agitating the government of Isabella
for the last six months. The Malmaison (cursed
house) was formerly a " hospital," and it has been
reported that a fortune-teller had foretold to Jsse
phine that .'?be would become Queen of France, and
would die in a hospital. As it may be observed,
this prophecy was accomplished, owing to the ety
nn logy of the name given to the retired villa wh?-re
Josephine breatned her last. Napoleon deparied
from La Malmaison in 1816, to embark oa board of
the English man -of war which took him to St.
Helena.
The Baron of Ssebsch, Envoy Plenipotentiary of
H. M the King of Saxony, called on Monday la^t at
St. Cloud to deliver to the Eoiperor the notification
of the wedding of hi* nepbew, Prince Frederic Au
gustus Albert. Duke of Saxony, to Princess Carolina
. ? Wa*a, daughter of Prince Gustavo VVa.?a, the
heir to the kingdom of Sweden. It is said that Louis
Napoleon manifested a sort of coolness to Baron de
Setbach, for it will be remembered that the Minister
of Saxony had first been the Intermediary of bis de
Mre to marTy blmm If to Prince** Caroline. Alt mat
ter of course. this " obliged audicnce'' did not much
plea> e the Emperor.
1 refused tm believe the report thit another attempt
to murder Louis Napoleon bad been made, but after
the most particular enquiry, I am forced to announce
it here as a positive fart. On Friday last, whilst the
Emperor and Empress were passing in their carriage
on the place de la Concorde, ou tin ir way to St. Cbud,
u man who was on the passage drrw out of his pocket
a pistol, which lie aimed at them; he was on the eve of
pulling the trigger when a coachman rushed upon
him aud prt vt nted him from doing so. The inur
derrr was taken to prtson, and he here confessed that
he Aid belong to the eompany of the Opera Comiune,
? aud kad sworn the moat solemn oaths to kill tUe Em
peror.
The prosecution of the Opera Comiqno plot is
still going on , and the secret society by which this
murder had bet a decided is said to consist of two
hundred perrons. It is said that the Emperor did
not believe that the conspiracy was " genuine,'' and
that If. Pietri, the Prefect of Police, was obliged to
show him the pistols aud daggers which had been
seized on the persons who had been arrested by the
police. The Huule four will be assembled to pro
nounce sentence on the oouaplratws,
