Government, the spirit Of the people of
this country would have demanded I'm -
mediate hos,ilIirs To be waged by the =
utmost exeriion Of the power Of the
Re. ublic, military and naval.
Mr. Hulsemann proceeds 10 remarh@
that {" This extremely painful incident,
{ erefore, might have been paused over,
without any written evidence being left
on our par, in the archives ofthe UniiedU
Slats had not General Taylor thought
proper to revive The whole subject, BY
communicating to the Senate, in his
message oil the 18th 2sth1 Of last,
March, the instructions with which Mr..
Mann had been furnished on the occa.
81 n of lis visit TO Vienna. The pub.
Iicity which has be given to the docu-.
men, has placed the Imperial Govern.
n,ent under tie necessity Of entering .
formal protest, through its Official repre-
sen ntive. against the proceedings OF the 4
American Government, lest the Govern.
nent should cons,rue our silence into
appreciation. or tol, ration even, Of tho
principles which al pear to have guided,
its action and the means il has adopted"
The undersigned re-asserts to Mr.. Hull
seinann. and 10 the Cabinet Of Vienna,
ID in the presence Of the world, thet
the steps taken by President Taylor,
Nv p' otesIed against by the Austrian
G vernmrnt, were warranted by the
law oil nations and agreeable 10 the US q
ages OF civilized States. With respect
To the communication ofMr. Mann's in
siructions to the Senate, and the Ian.
qua =. in wi ich they are couched, il has,aI
already been said, and Mr.. HulscmannV
must feel the justice Of the remark, thst
these are don,stc affairs, in reference
10 which the Government ofthe United .
States canno, admit the slightest res
Ionsibili,y Ia tie Government Of his
Imperial Majesty. No State, deserving
The appela,ion Of Independent can per.
nit the language in which il may in
slruct it's own Officers in the discharge
Of their duties TO itself 10 be called in
question under any pretex, by foreign
Power. But. even il this were no, 90,
MIR. HuIsenann is in an error in stating
that the Austrian Government 10 called
AN Iron Rule ia Mr.. Mann's ins,rue..
tions. That phase 10 not found in The
paper aud IN respect 10 the honorary
rr,tlet bestowed in Mr.. Mann's ins,ruc-
hons on the late chief Of the Revolu-
sion"r, Cover ment Of Hungary, Mr.. y
Hus, mann will bear in mind that the
Government of the United States cannot
justly he expected in confidential COM
munication TO lis own agent. to withhold

ton ofwhich great part of the world
think him worthy, merely on the ground
that his own Government regards him

will take the liberty OF bringing the
Cabinet Of Vienna into the presence Of

States; England was prosecuting that
war with a most Iesoure determination =,
and b, the exerion Of all her military

was at that time atpeace with England;
and yet an agent Of that Congress,

great respect by the Ambassador OF tho
