Kossuth and General Pierce. 

The present "Count" Pulski has arrived in Washington, accompanied by 
Count Vass, and Mr. Asbot (formerly Secretary of Kossuth) as ambassadors 
from the latter to General Pierce, the President, to make disclosures to him, 
relative to the secret plans of Russia in Turkey, and to obtain from Pierce 
a realisation of Kossuth's expectations. The "New York Herald," a presi- 
dential paper, has already stated that M. Pulski had better remained athome. 
The inaugural message of the President shows how unfounded were the 
expectations. Another secret object of the mission is to win back General 
Vetter, who, wherever he has been in America, has expressed himself very 
bitterly in relation to Kossuth. 

The Refugees and the London Police—The police have during the last few 
days been from street to street drawing up the Statistics of the Refugees— 
principally their inquiries were made of the neighbouring publicans. In some 
cases they penetrated into private houses under false pretences—and made 
researches. The Austrian "Correspondent," the official paper, has stated that 
the "good Aberdeen" had begged the northern powers to save appearances 
and not press publicly in relation to the fugitives, as he would then be able 
to do their will. Napoleon has said, in reply to similar representations, that 
"he would give England time to show its good faith in the matter."
