On my recent return from I1avana, /
fonid that the moment had nrrived to ftll-
fill the intenfions Of my Government rsla-
tive. to my official connections with the
Government Of the United States. M
The Secretary of State has not judged
fiji to reply TO the note which ] considered
II my duty to address TO him, dated the
18th Of December. In relation to the re-
ception and the military llonors rendered
70, Kossuth by tile federal authorities.
Tie Secresary Of State Ind led me 10
hope that my interviews with him in the
State Department, would be no longer
upon, and accompanied by de-
risive remarks, III certain journals Of Balti-
more and Philadelphia. These assurances,
which were even given to me il writing
have been Immediately bnrlesqued III the
same journals. and have only led to more
tvirnlent attacks, which were continued IN
one widely-circulated journal Of New Or
leans, and on my passage through tliatcity
i have been the object Of very disagreenble
demonstrations. IIconsidered il my duty
at that tin,e---21st Of November--to in
form the President Of those annoyances,
so singularly patronised: and tllereupon
the Secretary Of Siate declared TO me-
2sth November-that thencefoftli bis rela-
tions with me should be hnd only in wri-
ting.
On the 7th Of January the Secretary Of
State judging fit to pronounce publicly,
and In the presence OF ,Kossuth, revolu-
,ionary speech, in. which he strenuously
encouraged Hungary to new rebellion,
and formally proposed q sentiment 70 the
speedy emancipation Of that kingdom -
This demonstration was Of such a strange
character 70 contrary to the simplest
International courtesy, as well as to the
positive promises which you had given
me in the Department Of State--that !
considered ii my dlty 10 address myself to
the highest authority Of the republic, 70
be assured whether this discourse was the
expression Of the sentiments Of the Gov
eminent OF the United States.
] esteem it happiness to be enabled TO
say that the Imperial Government, ap-
proving my course, has rendered justice to
the declaration which the President con-
sidered it proper to make to me on the ~
Of January, with the design Of u,ain,ain-
ing tile good connections existing between
Austria and the United States.
These verbal assurances have not given
place since TO my proceedings Of the Sc.
cretary Of State, to corrobora'e officially
the declaration Of the President, and 10
produce satisfactory reconciliation.
After having determined with much de-
liberation, al to the hostile proceedings Of
the Secretary Of State. aud after having
ex xperienced the false and disagreeable pos
ition which had resulted tl,erefrom, be-
lieved it TO be my duty 10 declare, for
very evident motives Of propricty, THAT my
Government would no longer permit me
to remain here, and continue official rela-
tions with the principal promoter Of the
Kossnth episode, 20 very much 70 be re-
gretted.
] profit " this occa.ion 10 express ia
the President my respectful thanks for his
invariably obliging conduct towards me.
MIR. A. Belmont. Consul-G General Of AUS
tria at New York, will continue his func-
tions until further orders.
Receive. Mr.. Secretary 81 State, the ex-
precision Of my high consideration.
