" The great improvement in the mechanical arts, and the general progress of the age, united to that spirit of enterprise, commercial and scientific, which was never more useful ly employed than now, have given increased energy to this intercourse ; and having, , in fact, broken down the barriers of space which separated nations have opened each to the knowledge and business of all this general Inter-communication, especially among 1he nations of christendom,create acommntiity of Interest and in some measure, a feeling which becomes a bond, however slight, uniting them together into one great political family. The international agitations, or external dan gers which threaten one, cannot be indiffer ent to the other members of this widespread community. The ape is an inquiring and an observing one, and the facility and rapidity of communication, among the proudest tri umphs of human knowledge, come powerful ly in aid of this disposition to judge, and ap prove or censuie passing events a their char acter and circumstances may justify. Thus public opinion embodied by the press, in the daily journals it pours fourth, is borne through the civilized world, pronouncing the judg ment of the present day, end anticipating that of posterity. There is none so high to be beyond its censure none ho low as not to be encouraged by its approbation. The frontiers of a country may be armed at its approach, but it will pass them. , It may be checked, but it cannot be stopped. It is stronger than the bayonet, more vigiliant than the suspi cion of despotism. The diplomatic relations existing between ; two countries are maintained only by politi cal agents, such as ambassadors, ministers or charges, reciprocally sent for that pnipose. At the commencement of this government we had but few of these functionaries, and those .we had were confined to the principal Euro pean courts. They have been gradually in ; creased in number till twenty-seven are now authorised. Still there are important counirie in Europe where no American representative 'has been sent, among which is Austria, where , they have been sent but recently. In tome cases this diplomatic interchange is rather a matter of courtesy, than positive utility, ei ther commercial or political. After acorn-. merce is formed, and -it is found that a satis factory one cannot be formed, the relations between us and some of these countries would go on, as indeed they have gone on, with nothing to interrupt their harmony and good understanding, Deoause the points of ' contact are few, and exposed to a few diffi. citlies. Such is our condition with respect to Aus , tria, which has but one port, that of Trieste, where we have any commerce worthy of the name, the annual value of which is about a million and a half. ' The ancient Queen of the Adriatic still looks out upon tho waters, but she is herself a melancholy spectacle, her prosperity having ' departed with her independence. The iron will of Austria, has left to Venice little but the remembrance of her former magnificence ' and the oppressive sense of her degeneration. But in these ports, and wherever else, if any i where they may be necessary. consuls would perform their commercial functions their po- sitions not being at all affected by any chan- ged diplomatic intercourse short of a declare i lion of war. . . I don't pretend to say, by this glance at Mr intercourse with Austria, that I propose - this measure on the ground that an Austrian . minister is unnecessary at the Court of Vien na, I trust, if we carry it to its practical re sults, that we shall be inflnenced by higher considerations. I allude to this topio merely '. to show that a great act of national duty may i be performed without the sacrifice of any na tional interest whatever. Nor does its inter - ruplion of diplomatic intercourse give any ; just cause of offence there, if no obligation . to establish or to continue is a mere question either ot courtesy or convenience and a considerable portion of the missions to Eu tope are maintained from feelings of courte try, arising out of the affinity of govnernments, and ol an. indisposition to exniDit what is there . considered a mark of disrespect fur a court, however limited the sphere of its authority, by excluding it from the family of sovereigns associated by diplomatic repre. sentations The eighteenth century was prolific in the ... personal memories of active diplomatists, and ,. no American can peruse them without being . omased at the utter insignificance of toe va .rious topics which engaged their attention, and which were swelled into consequence by the passions and interests of the retaineis i of corrupt courts. They are subjects beneath contempt, and their influence upon the fate w nations is buried with toe men who gave mem a nctitious importance. He who rises from a perusal of one of these records, can no longer ponder on the remarks of a Swe- -'. dish stateoian, "thai it took very little will dora to govern the world as the world was governed." ' ," But while ( maintain the cessation of diplo '' matio intercourse with Austria, would give ' ' the Government of that country no just cause of offence, I da oat seek to deny or conceal. that the motive for tho adoption of this iso t (lutioo will be unacceptable and ecaliarly . , obnuxious to lb feelings of pewer provtr. bully haughty, in the day of its prosperity, .-. ad rendered inor susoeptible by rooant swenio orotcji aaoo deroyod saoco of it ttv ' - ,. - . -r MS. 4 tart prestiM and copspelM it a-oattfor RutW aid In ihoprl)r circumstances wh the nfV effort of fjngsry Ifc sasert hr.tst right bad ptaoed the oppress of IheVountry , f $ t , I c tf ho coursol propOM would loo half it value wore any doubts to rest upon tho mo tires that dictate it, and certainly were they notj rrortjo )hk I should- B9 loot h that cordial aphrrfbatiorf which 1 now ahtict- pale fsem too Asm rfOJOOoioy 'sOt4b4o4lOti' effort to rebuke,by an expression- pf public 9ri,Th rough an' Webliinecf 'government,- opinion in tho name of a great republic, atrocious acts of despotism by which human liberty and life has been sacrificed, under circumstances of audacious contempt for tho f ighrs of man kind, and the sentiments ol the civilized world without a parallel, oven in this ago or warfare, between tbo oppressor, and tho op pressed. ' ' ' 1 ; , . i. r :,'.;:,,! I say this first effort, for though Ibe prin cipal of public disapprobation in situations not very dissimilar may be traced in the pro ceedings of at lenst one of the representative bodies of Europe, 1 do not recollect that any formal act has been adopted, rendering the eensure more signal and enduring. If we take the first step on this noble cause, where chrsical force, with its flasitious abuse, if not conquered, may be ultimately destroyed by moral considerations, wo shall add to the value of the terror of '76, already so impor tant to the world, and destined to become far more so by furnishing one guaranty more for the preservation of humnn rights, where they exist, and for their recovery where they are lost.- - 1 rr': " Mr. President : I do not mistake the posi tion of my country, nor do ! seek lo exagger ate her importance by ihese suggestions. am perfectly aware, that whatever we may do or say, the Immediate march of Austria will be onward in the course of despotism, with a step feebler or firmer as resistance may appear, near or accurate till she is stay ed by one of those iipheavirfs of the people, which is as sure to come, as that man longs for freedom, and longs to strike the blow which shall make it ; his pride is blind and power tenacious; and Austria's pride and power, though they may quail before signs of the times, before barricades and fraterniza tion, by which streets are made fortresses and armies revolutionized. New, but mighty engines in popular war fare, will hold out in their citadel till the last extremity but many old things are passing away, and Austria will pass away in its turn. Its bulwarks will be shaken by the rushing of mighty winds, by the voice of the world, whenever its indignant expression is not re strained by the kindred sympathies of arbi trary power. I desire not to be misunderstood I do not mean that in all the revolutionary struggles which political contests bring in, it would be expedient for other govemmenls to express their feelings of interest or sympathy. 1 think they should not ; for there are obvious considerations which forbid such action, and the value of this kind on moral interposition would be diminished by its too frequent re currence. It should do reservea tor greai events, marked by great crime and oppres sions on the one side, and great misfortunes -and exertions on the other, and under cir cumstances which carry with them the sym pathies of the world like the partition of Poland and the subjugation of Hungary. We can offer public congratulation as we have done to people crowned by success in their struggle for liberty. - ! We can offer recognition of independence to others as we have done while vet the ef fort was pending. Have we sympathy only for the unfortunate Or is a cause less dear or sacred because it is prostrated in the dual at the foot of power 1 Let the noble senti ments of Washington, in his stirring reply to the French Minister, answer these questions. Born in a land of liberty, my anxious re collections, my sympathetic feelings, and my best wishes are irresistably excited where soever, in any country, 1 see an oppressed nation unfurl the banner of freedom. I freely confess that I shall hail the day with plea sure when our Government, reflecting the true sentiments of the people, shall express its sympathy for struggling millions, seeking that liberty which was given to them by God, but has been wrested from them by man. I do not see any danger to the true independ ence of nations by such a course) and, in deed, 1 am by no means certain that the free interchange of publio views in this solemn manner would not go far towards checking the progress of oppression and the tendency to war. Why sir, the very discussion lit high places, and free places, even wheie discus sion is followed by no act, is itself a' great act of retributive justice, to furnish it where an atrocious deed is done, and a great ele ment of moral power to restrain it, when ucn a aeea is contemplated. I claim lor our country no exemption from the decrees of those high tributaries, and when wo are guilty of a tithe of the oppression and cruelly which have made the Austrian name a name of reproach through the world, I hope we shall receive, as we shall well merit, the op probrium of mankind. I anticipate with con fidence the hearty co-operation of the distin guisheJ Senator from Kentucky (Mr Clay) in this effort though I fear that the distinguish ed gentlemen is becoming conservative. He cannot fail, however, to sustaiti the noble reputation he achieved in the affair bf the South American republics.

Bui there .is .no American. who does not sincerely desire . tho restoration of the masses of all people to their rights, and to the dignity of human nature. ' Action, such as now proposed, will encourage the oppres sed of Europe to bear their evils bravely, while they must, as men who hope, and when driven to resist, by oppression which cannot longer be borne, to exert themselves as men who peril all upon the effort, r ' Mr. Cass then read from the London Times an Address to Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston, from eighty-three members of the House of Lord and Commons requesting the interest of the British Government to en deavor to restrain that of Austria from further butchery. He passed under review tho rights of Hurlgary with reference to its con stitution and its connection with Austria. He examined the chart obtained of the Hun garian Government, which swept away the liberties of Hungary and justified that power in every subsequent step which she took. He described the condition of Hungary as lo her sufferings and rights, in the glowing words of Kossuth himself, and then sketched the events of the war, of the conquest of the Austrian armies by the brave Hungarians, the call upon Russia for help, and the final overwhelming of that unhappy country. '' The Russians scented the blood from afar, and Hungary, like Poland before the Cossack and the Pandour, and the everlasting re proach to the contemner of the laws of God and man, accomplished these nefarious schemes. Ho had represented this brief re view of the right and wrong of Hungary, not a the direct motive for adopting his reso lution ; he chose to put that upon another ground, the ground of atrocious cruelty; but because be desired to take from Austrian ad vocates if there were any in this country ; he knew there were none in the Senate. The lust excusa for these violations of the com mon feelings of our nature, by showing that the attack upon Hungarian independence was as reckless and unjustifiable, as were the cru elties inflicted upon the Hungarian people. ' After painting the horrors of Austrian ven geance on Hungary, anil quoting from Kos suth' noble appeal to Lord Palmerston, on the occasion of hi being solicited to turn re uegade to his religion, he continued, And, now, sir, , I say it without reserve, that a power thus setting at defiance the opin ion of the world, and violating the best feel ings of our nature, in the very wantonness of successful cruelty, has no bond of union with the American people. .The sooner our diplo matic intercourse is dissolved with marks of indignant reprobation the sooner shall wo perform an act of publio duty, which, at home and abroad, will meet with the feelings of kindred sympathy from all, whoever they may be, who are not fit subjects for the ten der mercies of Austrian power. Mr. Cass referred, for a precedent, Jlo the astion of the French Government, wbichi through the Chamber of Deputies year after year, reproved the conduct of Austria, Rn sia and Prussia on the disemberment of the remnant of Poland, though he would not at tempt to disguise the fact that the action of our government, if it acts at all in this mat ter, will extend the principle farther than it was carried in France. We hare many good men among us who are alarmed at any pro position for publio action, nnles the very same thing ba been done here or elsewhere. If the case is not in ihe books, no remedy can be applied, however imperious the cir cumstances. They have an instinctive dread of progress, believing ' that what ha been done has been well done, and ought to ' be done agnin, and that nothing else should be done. This spirit of standing still little be comes a country like ours, which is advanc ug in a career of improvements with an ac celerated pace unknown in the history of the world. " ,: Mr Cass then drew a parallel between the pirit of conservatism and tho spirit of pio- gress, and exhibited the latter as a spirit par excellence of Americanism to those, how ever, not here, but elsewhere, who trembled at innovation. Tho example of the French chamber may divest the proposed action of half its terror ; the other half may be safely left lo lime. They will gradually learn that the great political truth of our day is contain ed in the sentiment recently announced by the distinguished member from Massachu setts. "Wo are in an aae of progress." Mr. Cass then quoted from Mr.' Canning, to reassure those who are inclined to think that no good can come out of our political Nazareth, but that what come from England is best and wisest. He also referred those who are disposed, to arraign the great free of debate upon this occasion, to the debates hi the English House of Commons and in our own Congiess, and especially to take a lesson in the enqueue ol political anairs, where hu man rights are in question, from Broughman and Clay. He used those name historically those masters of scathing rebuke. i . Mr, Cass concluded a follows: Mr. Pre sident, there is one (opio I desirq briefly to nucn, ,. la tno allusions 1 nave seen. in many of the papers, and what I have beard in con versation tbi snbjeet, the nam and person' al claim of the genllentn who bosvecently departed on amission to Autna,, hare been brought iuto question, .

But, . sir, whilo I say this, I shall say also, and with equal truth that his departure from the United Slates on the very eve of ihe meeting of the Senate interposes, in my opinion, insurmountable ub ject ions to his confirmation. ' 'l Whether a foreign minister may go abroad upon a mere Executive appointment, except in rare rases of public urgency, may well ad mil of doubt. I do not say thidasa party man. But a the session of the Senate ap proaches I h. procedure become the more improper, and is utterly inexcusable when it occur upon the very eve of its commence' ment. , . . i, ... I saw a paragraph in one of the city papers only three or four days ago, stating that a dis-i tinguished citizen, for whom I have much personal regard, had left Kentucky on the 22J of December, to proceed upon a mission to Mexico. He will never receive my vote to remain there. I do not understand this unseemly haste, this flight from the judgment of ihe Senate, as though confirmation were rendered necessary by tho publio expense they incurred, and a sort of obligation conse quently imposed upon this depository of a portion of the Executive power to conform its action to the action of the President. I trust that no such motives will influence our con duct, but that we shall take a course which while it assert the right of the country will restore to the Senate it efficient control, and will not yield, I will not say le the cupidity, but I will say lo the earnest desire of office, which was never more powerful nor more powerfully displayed than now. Mr. Seward, of .New York, expressed his deep regret that a speech no ablo and so elo quent as lhat to which the Senate bad just listened should have been embarrassed at the close with remarks relative to the fitness and actions of the highly honorable gentleman who fill the mission proposed lo bo suspen ded. . - .
