r5-E WASHINGTON, January 16, 1852.
In spite of the telegraphic denial in some of the
Northern papers that Chevalier Hulsemann has writ
ten a letter complaining of the reception Kossuth
received in Washington and the speech which Mr..
Webster delivered at the Congressional Banquet, my
impression is that Mr.. Hulsemann has written such
letter: Te use the logical form of expression of
Louis Kossuth, Mr.. Webster has accepted the posi-
lIon, and his answer will follow an unavoidable
consequence.
It is great pity that the corps diplontatique have
not behaved with more tact generally; and then the
cleverest dlpou.ates never sent to the United
States, where their insnuatihg and seducing quail
ties would be thrown away court without power.
When, in 1881 and 1882 the fugitive Poles
ceived with festivals in Paris and London-when
speeches from the throne affected sympathy fox the
martyrs of Polish murdered nationality, the Emperor
of Russia (who is the only despot Of Europe that
has brans) did not enjon his ministers at those
courts TO exhibit any symptoms of dfSpleasure un-
easness. On the contrary, when bill was given at
Almacks for the benefit of the Polish refugees, at
which large number of ladies' belonging the high
est arstocracy of Eng land volunteered act as la
dies patronesses, the Russian minister in London
was anxious to pay hi, tribute to suffering human
ity" by enclosing hundred pound Bank Of Eng
land note for the privilege of ticket That was
real rehR stroke OF dip lomacy but the members of
the corps here not equal to such effort of
6nement. They showed themselves truffy where
Kossuth was dignfed. They suffered the opportunity
to pass TO acquire an European reputation; If they
that will be in small way.
Mr.. Bodisco is mistaken if he says he will find it
difficult to explain the conduct of government to
his Master, the Gear. The Gear will comprehend it
without his explanation; for the Gar is sensible
man, who has not the slightest disposition to quarrel
with the United States, and understands far better
than his that the people of this country

Mr.. Hulsemann will neither receive nor decline his
passports. He is too amiable and inofensive per-
son for government to quarrel with. and is not
likely to get good Office his return to Vienna
he holds here 1t is unfortunate for him that
not love the government of his country, and 1t is I'M
fortunate for his country that she obtains her despot
ism second hand. Prussia, and Austria, and even
France at this moment are merely doing a retail bu-
sness in the way of absolutism. 1t is Russia alone
which furnishes the article, wholesale, and at a cheap
rate. Austrian, French and Prussan despotsm is
too expensive to last.
