HE l1tLSMAN LETTER. ne lOllOW-
ang is said to be a correct translation of
the letter addressed by VI. HrIsman to
Mr.. Webster, upon the eve of his re-
turn to Austria.
WAsnl>eroN, April 30, 1852.
On my recent return from Havana,
found that the moment had arrived to
fulfil the intention Of my government
relative to my official connections with
the government of the United States.
The Secretary of state has not judged
fit to reply 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 dersive remarks in certain
journals of Baltimore and Philadelphia.
These assurances, which were even
given to me in writing, have been inn
mediatelv bwrlesqued IN the same Jour
mails, and have only led to more viruIent
attacks, which were continued in one
widely circulated journal Of New Or
leans. And, on my passage through
that city, have been the object OF very
disagreeable demonstrations. | conSid-
cred 1t my duty at that time-2lSt Of
November to inform the President Of
of these annovances, so Singularlv pa
tronized; and therrupon the Secretary
of State declared to me-2Sth Novem-
ber-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 public
ly, and in the presence Of koSsuth, a
revolutionary speech, in which he
strenuouSly encouraged Hungary to a
new rebellion, and formally proposed a
sentiment to the speedy emancipation
of that kingdom. This demonstration
was OF such strange character-was
so contrary to the simplest nternation-
al courtesy. as well as to the positive
promises which you had given me in
the Department Of State-that conSid-
cred it my duty to 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.
| esteem it happiness to be enabled
to say, that the imperial government,
approving my course, has rendered
jutce to the declaration which the Pre-
sident considered it proper to make to
me on the 18th of January, with the
design of maintaining the good connec-
ton existing between Austria and the
United States.
These verbal assurance have not CIV
en- place since to any proceeding of the
Secretary of State, to corroborate Off
cially the declaration of the President,
and to proauce satisfactory reconcile
alton.
After having determined with much
dellberatlon, as TO the hostile proceed
ings OF the Secretary of State, and after
having experienced the false and disa.
greeable position which had resulted
therefrom, | believed it to be my duty
to declare, for very evident motives of
propriety, that my government would
no longer permit me to remain here,
and continue ofie ial relations with the
principal promoter of the kossuth cpl
sode, so very much to be regretted.
profit by this occasion TO express to
the President my respectful thanks for
his invariably obliging conduct towards
me.
