Copy ofa note addressed By NJ. Hulsemann to Mr.
Webster, dated at
WASHINGTON, April %, 1851.
On my recent return from Havana, l found
that the had arrived fulfill the intentions
ofmy government relative to my official connections
with the government of the United States.
The Secretary of State has not judged fit to
reply to the note which | considered it my duty
to address to him, dated the 18th of December in
relation to the reception and the military honors
rendered to Kossuth by the federal authorities.
The Secretary of State had led me to hope that
my interviews with him, in the State Department,
would be no longer commented upon, and accom-
panied 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, my passage through
that city, have been the object very disagreea
Bile demonstrations. l considered it my duty at
that time-21st of November-to inform the
President of those annoyances singuarly
patronised and thereupon the Secretary of State
declared to me-28th November-that thence
forth his relations with me should he had only in
writing.
On the 9TH of January, the Secretary of State
Judged fit to pronounce publicly, and in the pre-
sence of Kossuth, revolutionary speech, in
which he strenously encouraged Hungary to
new rebellion, and formally proposed sentiment
to the speedy emancipation of that Kingdom
This demonstration was OF such strange charac-
ter-was so contrary to the simplest international
courtesy, we'll as to the positive promises which
you had given in the Department of State
that [ considered it my duty to address myself to
the highest authority of the republic to be as
sured whether this discourse was the expression
of the sentiments of the government of the [.
States.
| esteemita 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 main
tanning the good connections existing 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 declaration of the
President, and to produce satisfactory reconcia-
ton.
After having determined, with much debera-
ton, as to the hostile proceedings of the Secretary
Of State and after having experienced the false
and disagreeable position which had resulted
therefron1, believe it to be my duty to declare
for very evident motives of proprety, that my
government would no longer permit me to remain
here, and continue official relations with the prin-
much to be regretted.
profit by this occasion to express to the l-res-
ident my respectful thanks for his invariably obi
ging conduct towards me.
