THREATS Or AUSTDTA AGAINST Tn
UNITED STATES.—A ;Washington letter
writer, speaking of the course of the .Uni
ted States government towards the- Hun
garian -refugees, 'says It appears thai
Austria has been acting a part toward this
government which may- terminateln a dis
solution of our diplomatic relations. 'As I
understand the matter, ihe Cal;inet at Vi
enna instructed the *Austrian Charge at
this, Capital. M. 'Hulseman, to iepresenCto
the administration, tt'at,.. in • the - : event:
Kossoth and his - ctimpatriots being receii•
ed and afforded an asylum here; it would'
be cause sufficient for that government I to
withdraw its representative. Accordingly,
Dlr. Clayton was officially informedc.k,,the
ultimatum : but before he had time ttl; de
cide upon his cause, Mr. Webster was in
stalled as his successor. Mr. Webster. was
not long in,determining what do. He
representedto Mr. Hulseman that the ref
ugees of bleeding Hungary would be re
ceived with open arms', and that,lf Anstria
demanded, his passports would be ready at
any moment. Whereupon, Mr. IL wrote
home for further, inStrtietionkbot these not
having' arrived, .the chagrined 'diplomat
may' be supposed to serve only ins quirsi
capacity. This statement' I receive from
such authority as I may rely upon, and I
presume it is essentially, correct. We gain
little by keeping , up thesl-ow of intercourse
