"Towards the conclusion Of his note Mr.
Hulsemann reNarks that 'ifthe Government ofthe
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 re-
taliation, and to certain Inconvenience which
would not fail to affect the commerce and indus
try Of the two hemispheres' As to this possible
fortune, this hypothetical retaliation, tho Gov
eminent and the people Of the United States are
quite willing to take their chances and abide their
destiny Taking neither a direct nor an Indirect
part in the domestic or intestine movements Of
Europe, they have no fear Of events of the nature
alluded to by Mr. Ilulsemann. 1t would be idle
now to discuss with Mr.. IIusemann those acts Of
retaliation which he imagncs may possibly take
place at some indefinite time hereafter Those
questions will be discussed when they arise, and
Mr.. Hulsemsnn and the Cabinet ut Vienna may
rest assured that, in the mean time, while per-
forming with strict aud exact fidelity all their
neutral duties, nothing will deter either the
Government or the people Of the United States
from exercising, at their own discretion, the rights
belonging to them as an Independent nation, and
of forming and expressing their own opinions
freely and at all times upon the great political
events which may transpire among the civilized
nations Of the earth Their own institutions
stand upon the broadcast principles of civil liberty ;
and believing these principles and fundamental
favorable to the prosperity of States-to be, in
fact, the only principles Of government which
meet the demands Of the present enlightened age
the President has perceived with great satisfaction
that in the Constitution recently introduced into
the Austrian empire, many of these grelt priuci-
pies are recognised and applied, and he cherishes
a sincere wish that they may produce the same
happy effects throughout his Austrian Majesty's
extensive dominions that they have done in the
United States0
Messrs. Mangum, Cass, Underwood, and Rusk,
expressed warm admiration of the answer of the
Secretary Of State and denounced the inso-
lence" Of the Austrian Government Mir Davis
of Mississippi thought it good document, con-
tanning sound doctrine, but such as had always
been held by the American Government Mr..
Clay seemed unwilling to attach so much impor-
lance to it, being reluctant ncedessly to irritate
the Austrian and Russian Governments

THE BAPTISM.
BY MISS PHGBE CAREY.


From the waters Of affection,
From her baptism of dark woe,
With her sweet eyes very mournful
And her forehead like the snow
Came she up; and, o, how many
In such hours Of trial are seen,
When they faint with mortal weakness,
Knowing not wherein to lean.
With Der face upon my bosom,
said she then in accent sad
As she wound her arms about me,
was all the friend she had.
And told her, pushing backward
From her forehead like the snow,
All her tear wet tresses, dripping
With that baptism Of dark woe
How, In sll that great sffiction,
Loving hands had led her on,
When she came up from the waters,
Led her when her feet went down;
And that only the good Father,
He who thus her faith had tried,
Could have brought her through the pillows,
Safely to the other side.
And | told her how LIES pilgrims
Crossed that solemn stream beneath,
To a brighter pathway leading,
Up the living hills Of faith.
Lifting upward from my bosom
Then her forehead like the snow,
Twill weep, she said, no longer,
Therefore rise aud let us go!
And, as one who walks untroubled
BY no NOR al doubt or fear,
OFT we heard her, far above us,
Singing hymns Of lofty cheer
Till with feet thst firmly balanced
On faiths summit rock she trod,
And beheld the shining bastiOns
or the city Of our God.
