copy Of a note addressed by NJ. Hulsenann
to Mr.. Webster, dated at

copy o. note addressed by NJ. Hulsemann
to Mr.. Webster, dated at
WASHINGTON, April 90, 1852.
On my recent return from Havana. | found
that the moment had arrived to fulfil the in.
tentons OF my government relative to nv off,
clal connections with the government of the
United States.
The Secretary ofState has not Judged fit to
reply 10 the note which IconsGered il nv du,y
TO address TO him, dated the 18th of Decem-
Der, IN relation 10 the reception ard the militia
ry honors rendered to Kossuth by the federal
authorities.
The Secretary of State hud led NE to hone
that my interviews with him, in the State De.
partrpent, would be no longer commented upon,
and accompanied by derisive remarks in certain
journals OF Baltimore and Philadelphia. These
assurances, which were even given to me in
writing, have been Immediately burlesqued in
the same journals, and have Only led to more
vIrulent attacks, which were continued in one
widely circulated journal of New Orleans.-
And, on my passage through that city, have
been the object of very dsagreeable demonstra-
tions. | considered it my duty at that time
2lst of Novemser-to inform the President of
those annoyance so singularly patronzed !;
and thereupon the Secretary state declared
to me-28th of November-that thenceforth
his relations with me should be had only in
writing.
On the 9TH Of January, the Secretary of
State Judged fit to pronounce publicly, and in
the presence of Kossuth, revolutionary
speech, in which he strenuouslv encouraged
Hungary to new rebellion. and formally pro-
posed a sentiment to the speedy emancipation
of that kingdom. This demonstration was of
such strange character-was SO contrary 10
| the simplest International courtesy, az well as
to the positive promises which you had given
me in the Department of State-that l con
sldered it my duty 10 address myself TO- the
highest authority of the republic, TO be assured
whether this discourse was the expression of
the sentiments of the government of The United
States. 1i
| esteem il happiness to be enabled to say,
that the imperial government, approving my
course, has rendered justice to the declaration
which the President considered it proper to
make to me on the 18th of January, with the
design of maintaining the good connections ex
isting between Austria and the United States.
These verbal assurances have not given
place since TO any proceeding OF the Secretary
of State, to corroborate officially the declara-
ton of the President, and to produce q salts
factory reconciliation.
After having determined with much delibera-
ton, as to the hostile proceedings Of the Secre-'
tary of State, and after having experienced the
Iaist anu uiSag positou WiiiCH uau re-
suited iherefrom, believed itto be my duty TO
declare, for very evident motives Of propriety,
that my government would no longer permit
me TO remain here, and continue official rela-
tons with the principal promoter Of the Kos
suth episode, so very much to be regretted
l profit by this occasion to express to the
President my respectful thanks for his inyaria-
bly, obligiug conduct towards me. 1914
Mr.. A. Belmont, Consul General of Austria
at New York. will continue his functions until
further orders.
Receive, MIR. Secretary of State, the express
sion OF my high consideration.
4usner of the Secretary of State TO Mr..
