WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 81, 1850
The undersigned Secretary of State Of the United
had the honor receive, some time ago the note Of ii
Hulsemanu Charge dAfIaires OF his Majesty the Emper
of Austria of the Both September. Causes arising fro
any want of personal regard for Mr. Husemann prop
respect tor his Government have delayed answer
ihs present moment. Having submitted Mr. Hulsemann
letter TO the President the undersigned is directed
him 10 return the following reply:
The objects Of Mr.. Hulsemanns note are first; to protes
oy order OF MS government against the steps taken by Ii
late President Of the United States the
and probable result of the revolutionary HUI
gary and secondly, TO complain Of expressions in II
Instructions Of the late Secretary Of State to Mr. A. Dude
Mann, confidential agent OF the United States
nica,sd by presdsn, Taylor the Senate the 2Sh
last.
The principal ground of protest is founded on the idea
In the allegation that the Government OF the United State
by the mission of Mr.. Mann, and his Instructions has il
terfered in the domestic affairs OF Austria in
dsrepectful toward that Power The Presidents Me
sage was communication made by him 10 the Senat

foreign State was called TO reply. 1t
i,s transactions communicated by the Executive Govern
the Senate at tbs request OF that body made pub
indeed but made public only because such the
usual of proceeding and may be regarded
what strange therefore, that tho Austrian Cabine, did ne
perceive that by the instructions given 10 Mr. Husemanl
was itself interfering with the domestic Of fol

This Department has on former occasions informed tn
