Mn. EDIToR BY your paper OF this morning am ad-
vsed off, movement now progressing in this city 50 unound-
ed in s AND derogatcy TO the character OF the country
which have the honor represent that feel that should
be wanting in official duty suffer il to pass unnotc-
ed and exposed appears that certain individuals, CALI
ing themselves Americans have arrived in this city, Pretend
ing have brought from the United States sum of money
for the University Of Vienna, and assuming to tender arms
and pecunay assistance the part OF that country TO the
people of Germany.
Now neither Of these allegations constrained 10 be-
ieve, car be sustained II they American citizens, the
passpors under which they travel will show it. If they have
any authority from The Government of the United States TO
tender and pecunay assistance the Germans nothing
can be aer than to produce it, And that they are even
the egen of the Germans in the city Of New York. Is sus-
cephk great doubt st Because at none Of the several
in that city, in the Park the Sd Of April at
DsImdc@s The 18th Of April, at McCullough's sass-
rooms Of April Is any mention made Of sending
money Vnna. do the nsnsss Of these aP
pear or the procecdings 90 Because on bosrd Of
tie steamer America In which the only Of them who
has probably ever visited the United States returned to Eu
roe nothing known Of his qualities agent or de-
pity Sd, Because he landed in Liverpool on the 22d OF
May and reached Vienna for nearly two months there
alter. 4th, Because he arrived in Vienna the 18th OF
Jane and did unburden himself of his money until the
sth of July 5h Because he has sudousy avoided making
himself known the accredited representative of the United
States this Court But these allegations should have pass
ed unned had they not been deroato to the character OF
my country, and voalve Of its cherished principles and
slant practice The Government Of the United States pro-
esses exist terms Of amy and friendship with the I'm
pea Government but could she have been guilty OF such
course as that in which these individuals would involve her,
il would have been vioave of the law Of nations eacher
Gus in the extreme and unworthy of respectable and homo
abe nation Independent Of the reciprocal duties which
established Government another it has been the poll
CIV of the United States from its Origin, to interfere
with the domestic Of other nations. The motto by
which she has been guided is that OF
and while she takes the liberty Of establishing such insu-
tons she may think proper she has always most freely
corded the same privilege others The citizens Of the
United States have been propagandists and though
not Indifferent the extension of human liberty and free go
vernmen throughout the world they have sought the
advancement of these objects by the employment of emsa
res the contribution of money the force Of If the
free and enlightened principles by which country gov
erned are ever to be disseminated is the opinion Of every
true American that this should be accomplished alone by the
force Of peaceful example.
If the example Of country, which from dependant colo
ny has in years become one OF the first nations
Of the gobe-from population of three millions, has in.
creased upwards of twenty mlions-from few scattered
settlements along the shores Of the Atlantic, embraces al
most the whole COMMUNICATION state OF oppression and SET
vude has the enjoyment OF greater degree OF civil
and religious liberty than exists in country these peace
ful trumphs sufficient recommend principles to
the adoption Of other countries then Is certain that neither
emissaries money will be able TO effect II. The
principles themselves will be worthy Of imitation, and the
United States be content to exist solitary and alone in
their exercise and enjoyment.
Respectfully, &c. WIN. H. STILES,
Charge dAfaires Of the United States of America.
