Notwithstanding these hostile demopsrafoNss ~.

for the ignorance of the cabinet of Washington an
the subject of Hungarian affairs and its disnnstin
to give credence to the mendacous rumors which aA

painful incident therefore, might have been passed

Gen. Taylor thought proper to revive the whole sub
ject by communicating to the Senate, in his message
of the 18th of last March, the instructions with which
Mr. Mann had been furnished on the occasion Of hi,
mission to Vienna. The publicity which has been
given to that document has placed the imperial GOV
eminent under the necessity of entering formal
protest, through its official representative against
/ the proceedings Of the American government lest
that governments should construe silence into ap
probation or liberation even of the principles which
appear to have guided its action and the means ii
has adopted
In view of all these circumstances. the undersgn.
ed has been instructed to declare that the imperial

continue to di3approve, of those proceedings, 50 d
fensive to the laws of proprety; and that it protest
against all Interference in the internal affairs Of il
government. Having thus fulfilled his DUTY the 10

The instructions for addressing this communca
ton to MIR Clayton reached Washington at the tim
of Gen. Taylors death. In compliance with the re
QUESTIONS of propriety, the undersigned deemed
his duty to defer the task until the new administers
ton had been completely organized-a delay which
he now rejoices at, it has given him the opporta
nifty of ascertaining from the new President himself
on the occasion of the reception of the diplomats
corps, that the fundamental policy of the United
States, so frequently proclaimed: would guide therF
lations of the American government with the 0hs
powers. Even if the government of the United Stas
were to think it proper to take an indirect FFrR

would be exposed to acts of retaliation; and Ger
