A letter was read from the President of the United States, accompanying the correspondence with Turkey relative to the Hungarian refugees. Most of the correspondence has already been published. One of the letters to Daniel Webster informs him that in May the time to which the Sublime Porte promised to retain the Hungarian refugees, expires. Another from Hon. Daniel Webster to Mr. Marsh, U. States Consul at Constantinople, urges him to prevail on the Sublime Porte not to renew stipulations with any power for the detention of the Hungarians, and to say to the Sublime Porte, that if he allows Kossuth and his companions to leave, they will find a vessel ready to convey them to our shores. The Secretary of the Senate was authorized to have this letter and the accompanying documents printed at this session.
