Of nations and agreeable TO the ussges of civilized States

IT, undersigned will take the liberty of bringing the Cabi

and Of citing for its consideration the conduct OF the Pe

American Revolution was raging all over these United
States England was prosecuting that war with most re-
solue determination and 10y the eNeruon OF all her military

America Neither Mr. Hulsemann, nor the Cabinet Of VI
emma It is presumed viii undertake TO say that any thing
said done by this Government In regard 10 the recent
war between Austria and Hungary Is not borne out ana
much more than borne out by this example of the Imperial
Court 1t is believed that the Emperor Joseph The second

character OF Washington as he s known to have done OF
that of Franklin; and he deemed no infracOn ofneura-

Mr. Hulsemann thinks that in Mr. Manns instructions I'M

The undersigned has TO suppose that Russia her,
sefis OF that opinion. The only observation made in those
Instructions about Russia that she has chosen to assume

painful solcitude in tie minds of Americans"
The undersigned cannot but consider the Austrian CaO-
unnecessarily susceptible in looking upon language
