his instructions 10 address bis present com
munication TO Mr.. Clayton reached Wash>
ington about the time of the lamented death
of the late President, and that he Delayed
from sense of propriety the execution Of
his task until the new administration should
be fully organized: SO deiuy which he now
reIoices al, as il has given him the opportu-
nlIy OF asceriaining from the new President
himself, on the occasion of the reception of
the diplomatic corps, that the fundamental
policy of the United States, SO frequently
proclaimed, would guide the relations of the
American government with other powers. :"
MIR. Hulsemann also observes that II is in
his power 10 assure the undersigned ''ihat
the imperial government is disposed TO cul-
Iiivate relations of friendship and good uG-
Iderstanding with the United States. The
President receives this assurance OF the dis
position Of the imperial government with
great satisfac tiop, and in consideration of the
friendly relations of the two governments
thus mutually recognised, ana of the peculiar
nature Of the. incidents by which their good
understanding is supposed by MI Hulsemann
! to have been, for moment, disturbed OF eu-
dangered, the President regrets that Mr..
Hulsemann did not ieel himself at liberty
wholly to fot bear from the execution of in-
sauctons, which were of course transmitted
from Vienna without any foresight OF the
STATE OF things under which they would reach
Washington. If Mr.. Huisemann saw, in the
address of the President TO the diplomatic
corps, saIislae tory pledges Of the sentiments
and the policy of this government in regard
80 neutral rights and neutral duties, it might
tperhapa have been better not TO bring on a
discussion ofpast transactions. But The un-
Idersigned readily admits that this was a
4 question fit only for the consideration and
decision Of Mr.. Hulsemann himself; and all
though the President does not see that any
good purpose can be answered by reopenit @
the inquiry into the pToprieiy of the steps
taken by Preslnent Tay lur TO ascertain the
probable issue of the late civil war in Huns
gary, justice TO his memory requires the un-
designed briefly TO yestaio the history OF
Those ssaps, aud 10 show their consistency
with the neural pu,ioy which has invariably
guided the government Of the Omitted States
|in lis foreign relations, as well as with The
3established and well-setlled principles Of ma
itional intercourse and the doctrines OF pub
lie law. ss4
+ The undersigned will first observe that
THE President is persuaded his Majesty the
4 Emperor of Austria does net think thar the
government Of the United States ought 10

Id1minena, hat Ia nlany other parts Of Ea~
rope, siuce February, IS4s. The eoveru-
! ment and people Of the United States, like
, olher intelligent governments aud commu-
lnities, lake lively interest in the move
men's aud the events of this remarkable
nge, in whatever part OF the world they may
be exhibited. But the interest laken by the
y United States 10 those events has moi pro-
Icesdod from any disposition 10 depart from
that nentralby towards foreign powers which
is among The deepest principles and the most
cherished traditions OF the political history Of
the Union. Il has been the necessary efrect
: of the unexampled character of the events
themselves, which could not fail 10 arrest
The attention Of the contemporary world, as
they will doubtless fill Il memorable page in
history. But the undersigned goes further
and freely admits that ia proportion as these
} extraordinary events appeared to have their
, Origin in those great idohs Of responsible and
, popular governments, on which the American
r constitutions themselves are wholly founded
they could not but command the warn
| sympathy Of the people Of this county.

The thoughts OF the hopes which arise 10
f mems minds, in other countries, from con-
IiemplatiRg their successful example of free
1 government. Tha, very intelligent and dis,
: 'ltinguisled parsonage, the Emperor Joseph
Il the Second, was among the first to discern
lthis necessary consequence of the American
ilrevolnton on the sentiments and opinions Of
the people Of Europe. In q letter to his min.
ister In tho Netherlands, in l767, he OBJ
,lserves that s'it is remarkable that France, by
the assistance which she afFo, ded to the A,
|mericans, gave birth 10 reflections on free.
Idom,r This fact, which the sagacity Of that
monarch perceived at SO early day, is now
/ known nd admitted by intelligent powers all
,|over the world. True, indeed, il is, that the
Ipfeyalence On the other continent Of senti-

result, f,hs reaction of America upon Europe
land the source and centre ofthis reacton has
