No. Koszta was a Hungarian rebel. as I remember the circumstances. and in consequence of his participation in the insurrection of 1818. to save his life he fled from Austria to America. and made declaration of his purpose to be naturalized. He was not naturalized. but he declared his purpose to become a naturalized citizen. and found his way back to European waters again. not Austrian. but I think it was in the port of Smyrna. and there an Austrian manofwar undertook his recapture and did secure his person and convey him on board an Austrian ship. but the American captain. Ingraham. who was lying with his vessel in those waters at that time. learned of the circumstance and demanded the release of Koszta. without direct authority from his Government. but by virtue of the fact that he was an American and in command of an American ship he undertook himself to interfere. without any formal application. when he found that the rights of one who had undertaken to become an American citizen were being endangered. and he demanded the delivery of Koszta to himself. which was refused. He immediately cleared his decks for action. and Austria surrendered him. and the whole world applauded his conduct. There was no application there. no contact with the Government at all. On page 149 will be found the record of Riels naturalization in the United States district court of the third judicial district of Montana: iu the United States district court of the third judicial district of the Territory of Montana.
