The instructions for addressing this COM
TO Mr.. Clayton reached Washing-l
ton al the time Of GeneEaI Taylor's dsath--i
In compliance with the acquisitions Of pro-
priety, the undersigned deemed il his duty
to defer the task until the new administration
had been completely Organized--a delay
~hicb he now rejoices at, rs il has given him
tie opportunity Of nscettaining from the new
President himself, on the occasion Of the re-
cepiion Of the diplomatic corps, that the fun
damental policy Of the United States, sol
frequently proclaimed, would guide The rela~
,ions Of the American geverRnent with tho
other powers. Even if the government of
the United States we,e 10 lhink it proper to
take an indirect part in the political mnve-
menis of Europe, American policy would be
exposed to nets Of retaliation, and to certain
iaconveniences, which would not fail 10 ef-
feet the commerce and tho industry of the
two bemispheres. All countries are obliged,
a. some period OF other, TO struggle against
internal difficulties; all forms Of government
ara exposed to such disngreeable episodes;
the United States have had some experience
Iin this very recently, Civil war is possi-
BILE occurrence everywhere, and the encour.
agement which is gwen to the spirit Of in
suueciion and 0f disorder most frequently
falls back upon those who seek to aid in its
development, in spite Of justice aud wise
policy,
The undersigned ava;ls himself of this oe
|casion to renew to the Secretary Of State the
assurance Of his distinguished consideration.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, Dec. 81, 1850.
The undersigned, Secretary Of State oi
the United States, had the honor to receive,
some time ago, the note of Mr.. Hulsemauu,
charge nffaIres of his Mujesty the Empe-
ror Of Austria, Of the Both Septembet..--
Causes, not arising from any want of person
al regard for Mr.. Hulsemann, or OF proper
respect for his governments, have delayed an
answer until the present moment HaSftg
submitted n4n tiulsemann's letter to the
President, the undersigned is now directed
by bin TO return the following reply:
The objects of Mr.. Hulsemann's uote are,
first, 10 prolest, by order OF his government,
against the steps taken by the late President
of the United States TO asceTtain the pros
gress aud probable result of the revolutions
sy movements in Hungary; mud. secondly, &c
complain OF some expressions in the instruc,
'ions of tbelsse Secretary Of Staia TO Mr.. A
Dudley Mann, confidential agent of the
United States, ns communicated by Presiden
Taylor to the Senate On the 2Slh Of Marci
; last. g sf aie
! The principal ground Of protest is founded
on the idea, or in The allegation, that the
government Of The United States, hg the
mission of Mr.. Mann, ard his INSTRUCTIONS
has interfered in the domestic affairs Of Aus.
tria. in manner unjust nr dsrespectful to.
wards that power. The Presidents massage
was communication made by him to the
Senate, transmitting correspondence be.
tween the executive government and II cons
fdemial agent of its own This would seen
TO be Itself dumestc transaction, mere
instance of intercourse hetweep the Presi.
dent aud the Senate, in the manner which u
usual and Indispensable in communications
between the different branches Of the gov
ernmenl. 1t was not addressed either tc
Austria or Hungary; nor was 1: any public
manifesto, to which any foreign State wn.
called on to repye 1t was nn account of IN
Transactions, communicated by the executive
government To the Senate, al the request O
! that body; made public, indeed, but made
public only because such is the common ant
usual course vi proceeding; and it may bt
Regarded as somewhat strange, therefore
thai the Austrian cabinet did not perceivt
that, by the instructions given to Mr.. Hulse
manu-, il was itself interfering with the do
rnestic CONCERNS Of foreign S.ate-the very
i thing whichsis the ground Of its complain
against the United States. 1eaa
i This department has, on former occasions
Informed the ministers of foreign powers thai
i a communication from the President to theI
house Of Congress is regarded as adomestiC
communication, OF which ordinarily no for
Eeign State has cognizance; md, in more
recent instances, the great Inconvenience o.
\ taking such Communications subjects of di.
pI0matic correspondence aud discussion hns
been fully shown. Ifit had been the PLEAS.
ure of his majesty the Emperor OF Austria
during the struggle in Hungary, 10 hSye nd~
monished the provisional government er the
people Of that country against involving
themselves in disaster, by following the evil
md dangerous example Of the United States
1 of America in making efforts for the estab-
lshment Of independent governments, such
an. admoniiion from that sovereign 10 his
Hungaripn subjects would not have orgina,
ted here diplomatic correspondence. The
President might, perhaps, on this ground
/ have declined 10 direct any particular reply
10 Nj. Husemann's note; but, out Of proper
respect for the Austrian governments, il has
been thought better 10 answer that note al
length; aud the more especially as the occa
sion 10 not unfavornble for the expression o
1.-THE general sentiments Of the government
Iof the United States upon the topics which

i A leading subject in Mr.. Hulsemann'
note, is that Of the correspondence between
Mr.. Hulsemann and the predecessor Of iht
undersigned, in which Mr.. Clayton, by di
region oftbe President, informed Mr., Hulse
mann "that Mr. Mann's mission had no OH
or obiec. in view than TO obtain reliable in

Hungary, by personal observation" Mr.
Hulsemann remarks that "this explanation
can hardlybs admitted, for Il says very little
