an s. nor the Cabinet OF Vienna, it is pre-

card to the recent war between Austria

nore than borne on, by this example the

Jthe character Of Washington, as he is
known to have done Of that Of Franklin !;
"A Re deemed il no infraction Of netrali,y
d inform himself Of the progress Of the
revolutionary struggle in America, nor to
exDre.s his deep sense Of the merits and
the talents Of those illustrious men who
were then leading llheir country to in
dependence and renown. The under
signed may add, tina, in 1871 the Courts
Of Rn,.i. and Austria proposed di ploma,-
;c Congress Of the belligerent Powers, to
which The Commissioners Of the United
States should be admitted.
Nj Hul.emann thinks that in lIr
Mans instructions improper expressions
srs introduced in regard TO Russia; but
Tie Undersigned has no reason to suppose
that Russia herself is of that opinion
The only observation made in those in.
sirucsions about Russia is that she "has
chosen 10 assume an attitude of inter.
ference, and her immense preparations for
invading and reducing the Hungarians TO
The rule Of Au>tria-irom winch they
desire 10 be released gave SO serious a
character 10 The contest as 10 awaken the
most painful so'ici,uie IN the minds of
Americans" The undersigned canno,
but consider the Austrian Cabinet as un-
necessarily susceptible in looking upon
language like this as ''hostile demon>lra-
tiOn." n we remember tina, it was adj
dressed by the Government to its own
agent, and has received publicly only
through communication from one Depart
nent Of the American Government to an
ether, the language quoted must he deem
ed moderate and inotiensive. The comfy
d nations would hardly forbid its being
addressed to the two Imperial Powers
themselves. Il is scarcely necessary for
the undersigned to say, that the relations
Of the United States with Russia have al
ways been Of the most friendly kind, and
have never been deemed by either party
to require any compromise OF their pecu-
liar viewa upon subjects Of domestic or
foreign poliiy or the true origin of Gov
ernmsnts. At any rate, the fact tina,
Austria, in her con,es; with Hungary, had
m intimate and faithful ally in Russia,
cannot alter the real nature Of the question
between Austria and Hungary, nor in any
way affect the neutral rights and duties Of
he Government OF the United States or
he justifiable sympa,hies Of the Ameri-
an people. II is, indeed, easy to con-
,eive that favor toward struggling Hun
yary would not be diminished, but in
,Feased, when it was seen that the arm of
Austria was strenthened and upheld by
'ewer whose assistance threatened 10 be,
nd which in the end proved to be, over
vhelmingly destructive Of all her hopes.
Towards the conclusion Of his note Mr.
iulsemann remarks that elf the Govern
tent Of the United States were to think
proper to take anindirect part in the po-
Teal movements Of Europe, American
olicy would be exposed to acts of retail.
ion, and to certain inconveniences which
ould not fail to affect the commerce and
dustry Of the hemispheres." AS to this
'ssible fortune, this Hypothetical retalia-
N, the Government and people Of the
nited States are quite willing TO take
eir chances and abide their destiny.-
liking neither direct nor an indirec,
art IN the domestic or intestine movements
Europe, they have no fear Of events Of
y nature alluded to BY Mr. Hulsemann.
would be idle now to discuss with Mr.
lulsemann those acts of retaliation which
immagines may possibly take place at
we indefinite time hereafter. Those
uestions will be discussed when thew
rse, and Mr. Hulsemann and the Cabinet
Vienna may rest assured that in the
eansime, while performing with strict
q exact fidelity all their neutral duties,
2hing will deter either the Government
the people Of the Uuited States from
tercising at their own discretion the
sass belonging TO them as an independent
Mon, and Of forming and expressing their
wn opinions, freely and at all times, upon
y great political events which may
'ansp'rs among the civilized nations of
le earth. Their own institutions stand
pon zoe broadcast principles of civil liber-
!; and believing those principles and the
y. laws in which they are en-
'o'ed to be eminen,ly favorable 10 the
lO'Perlty OF S,ates-to be, in fact, the
