mann remarks that g if the government of the United
states were to think it proper to take an indirect
part IN the political movements of Europe, American
policy would be exposed to acts of retaliation ard
to certain ineonyenences which would not fail to af
1ecs the commerce and industry Of the two hemis-
pheres As to this possible fortune this hypothet-
zeal retaliation, the government and people of the
United States are quite willing to take their chances
and abide their destiny. Taking neither direct
movements of Europe they have fear of events Of
the nature alluded to by Mr.. Hulscmann. It would
be Idle now to discuss with Mr. Hulsemann those
acts of retaliation which he imagines may possibly
take place at indefinite time hereafter Those
questions will be discussed when they arise and Mr.
Hulsemann and the cabinet at Vienna may rest as
sured that, in the time, while performing with
strict and exact fidelity all their neutral duties moth
ing VIII deter either the government the people of
the United States from exercising at their own dis
cretlon the rights belonging them as an indepen-
own opinions freely and at all times, upon the great
political events which may transpre among the civ
lllzed nations of the earth. Their Institutions
stand upon the broadcast principles of civil liberty
and believing those principles and the fundamental
laws IN which they are embodied to be eminentlt
favorable to the prosperity of Statesto be, in fact
the only principles of government which meet the
demands of the present emil ghtened age-the Presi-
dent has perceived with great satisfaction that in
the constitution recently introduced into the Aus
TRAN empire, many of these great principles
cognised and applied, and he cherishes sincere
wish that they may produce the same happy effects
throughout his Austrian Majesty's extensive domin-
ions that they have done in the United States
The undersigned has the honor to repeat to Mr.
Hulselnann the assurance of his high consideration

Later from Mexico.

By The brig John Williams, 9th inst from Vera
Cruz, we have dates of the 10Th ut. from tie city
of Mexico. We itemlze the few matters Of any in
terest.
The Mexican Congress- has decisveIy refused to
appropriate 100000 TO the suppression of the re-
volt al Cordova. There seem to be about fifty men
on each side but it makes noise.
There is pronunciamiento progressing on the
Rio Granie.
The pepal Legatee in Mexico has, by his arrival,
Great d al immense sensation The papers are
discussing his position, and the question whether
his functions are diplomatic or purely religious
seems 10 excite much interest.
The news from Mazallan is that the cholera is
rapidly diminishing. 1t appears the Municipal
President or Mayor of that place compels Ameri.
cans coming from San Francisco route for the
Atlantic States, either 10 give bonds for good be-
bavior in their passage through the country, or
ess to pay an ounce Of gold If they do not do
this he refuses to countersign their passports. A
matter for our Government to look into.
Five English vessels of war had arrived before
Vera Cruz. Their arrival created an immense sen
sation. 1t was thought by some that they had
=. come to enforce British claims for indemnity.
To succor the Government, reduction of i'm
posts is proposed. The taxes on cotton and cottoT
manufacturing are TO be greatly modified
The driver Of an express stage having beer
caught robbing in the neighborhood of Cordova
was promptly arrested, tried shot, and his bodl
hung up on the public highway.
On the night of the 24.h November, in the cit,
of Mexico, a band of robbers entered house
bound the inmates, took possession of every thin
valuable, committed unspeakable crimes, and de
parted next morning without being interrupted.

also to receive the interest due Texas from the
United States also, bill appropriating the pro-
ceeds of the bonds sold for the liquidation and pay
ment of that portion of the debt of the late Repub
lie of Texas for hich the impost revenues of Texas
were not specially pledged, under the decision Of
the President of the United States, amounting to
S9SS, 1853.
