It is not understood that the con

the last session of Congress. In an
early stage of the contest, the author-
Weser Spain inaugurated a system of
arbitrary arreits,of close confinement,
of military, trial and execution of per
sons suspected of complicity with the
insurgents, and of summary embargo
of their properties and requisitions of
their revenues by executive warrant.
Such proceedings as fares they effect

Shall we refuse them" The acquisi

the most valuable products of the
forest, mine and soil of any of the
' West India islands. Its possession
by the United States will In a few
years build up a emit—raise com
merce of immense magnitude, which
will go far towards restoring to us
our lost merchant marines. It will
give to us th pa e articles which we
consume largely and do not produce,
thus equalizing our exports and im
ports. In citso.of foreign war, it will
give us command of all the islands
referred to, and thus prevent via ene

This will open to us a wider market
for our prialucts. The production of
our own supply. of these articles will
cut off more than one hundred

~it is to be, regretted that our rep
resentations hi regard to The litiurfous
effects; especially upon Mb' revenues
of the United Htak-s, of the policy of
the liexiem government in exempt
ing from import duties a large Intel
of its territory on our borders, have
not only been, fruitless, but that It
is even proposed In that wuntry .to
extend the limits within which Lb•
privilege adverted to has hitherto
Nee enjqeil. The exEediency of
taking into yourserlous eßtsitieration
the proper, means for countervailing
the policy referred to will, it is pre
sumettengage you r earnest attention.
It Is the obvious interest, especially
of the neighboring nations, to pro-
Vide against injury to those who tnay
have committed high crimes within
their borders, and who may have
sought refuge abroad, For this pu i r- i

The sense of Congreis is desired as
early as may be convenient upon the
proceedings of the Commission on
claims against Venezuela and com
mented on in the message of March 4,
1869, March 1, 1870, and March' 31,
1870. It has not been deemed advice-
the to distribute nny of the 'money
which has been received from. that
Government until Congress shall
have acted upon the subject.

Tiar.massaere of French and
shin residents at Tien-Viin, milder
circumstances of great barharityiwere
suppo4sl by some to have been pre
molitattsl, and to indicate a purpose
among Um populace to exterminate
foreigners in the Chinese Einpire.
Tho evidence falls to establish such a
pokitton; Ind showsa complicity by
the local outhoritles and the mob.
The Government at Pekin, however.
seems, to have been disposed to NM
its treaty obligations, so far as it was
able to do so. Unfortunately, the
news of the war between the German
States and France readied China
soon after the init•tsacre. It would
appear that the pOpu mind became
poshessed z with the idea thatthis con
test extending to-Chinese waters,
.would neutralize the -Christian in
' fintime andpower, anti that the time
was coining when the superstitious
['might expel all forellners and re
store mandarin') influence. Antici
pating trouhlefrom this "muse, I in
vittsi France and North Germany to
make an authorirei suspension of
hostilities in the east,' where they
were temporarily suspended by act
of the commanders, to act together

Exchange of Tre t ty laataleadona.
Since the adjournment of Congress
the ratification of the treaty with
Great Britain for abolishing themix
ed courts for the suppression of the
Slave trade have been exchanged. It
is believed that the slave trade is now
confined to eastern coast Of Africa,
whence the slaves are taken to Arabi
an markets. The. ratification of the
naturalization Convention between
Great Britain and the United States
have also been exchanged during the
recd:. and thus a long standing' dis
pute bettfeen the two governments
has been settled in accordance witk
the principles always eontenaed for
by the United States.
Relocation ()roar Northwestern
Boundary Line!
In April last while engaged in lo
cating n military reservation near
Pembina, n corps of engineers discov
ered that the commonly received
boundary line between the United
States and the British possessions at
that place is about fifty-seven hun
dred feet south of the true'pwition of
the winth parallel, and that the line,
when run on what Is now supposed
to be the true position of that parallel,
would leave the fort, of thp Hudson
Bay Company at Pembina within
the territory of the United States.
This information being ammonia&
ed to the British Government; I was
requested tronsent,aud did consent,
that Britis !oecupation ofthe fort of
the IndsOi 's Bay`Compan V should
continue for the present. I deem it
important, however, that this part of
the boundary line should be definite
ly fixed by a Joint commission of the
governments, and submit herewith
estimates of the expense of such a
entutrfitsion on the part of the United
States and recommend that an ap
propriation for that purpose be made.
The land _boundary Is already fixed
and marked fronatthe summit of the
Rocky Mountains to- the (leorgian
Bay. It shonliLhow be in like Man.

I regret to tray that no conclusion :
has been reached for thc adjustment"
of the claims against Great Britain
growing out of thicourse adopted by
that Government during the rebel
lion. The Cabinet.of .London, so far
as its views have been ex pressed, does
not appear to be willing to concede
that Her Majesty's Government was
guilty of negligence, or did or per
mitted any act (luring ,the war by
which the United States has any just
cause of complaint. Our firm and
unalterable convictions are directly
theleverse, and therefore recommend
to Congress to authorize the appoint
ment °f i n commission to take procif
of the amounts and the ownership of
their (AIMS on noticeto the represen
tative in Washington, and that Bur
thority be given for the settlement of
these claims by the United States, so'
that the Government shall have the
ownership of the private_clahns, as
well ius the responsible controrof.all
Usti demands against Great Britain.
It cannot be -necessary to add that
whenever Her Uttar(' govern ment
shall entertain desire for a full and
friendly adjustment of these claim%
the United States will enter upon
their consldendlen with an earnest
desire for a cmclusion conshaent with

In the last license granted to It, they
provide that the easel, with her

Is not known that any condemna
time have been rnadeunder this stat
ute. Should the nut Nettles of (Swede
attempt to enforce it, it will become
my duty to take such steps as may
be necessary to protect the rights of
the citizens of the United States. It
has been claimed by -Her Modesty's
officers t h at fishing vessels of the
United States have no right to enter
the open ports of the British ponies
stens in North America, except for
the purposes of shelter and repairing
damages or purchasing wood and
taining water; that they have no
right to enter at the British Custom
Houses, or to trade, except the pur
chase of wood and water, and , that
they mustdepart within twenty-four
hours after notice to leave. . It is not
known that any seizure of a fishing
vessel carrying the flag of the United
States has been made under this
claim. So far as the claim Is founded
on any alleged construction of the
convention of 1818, it cannot be ao
quieseed in by the United States: It
Li hoped that it will not be insisted
upon by Her Majesty's Government.
During the 'conferences which pre
ceded the negotation of the conven
tion' of 1818, the British Commis
sioners proposed to expressly exclude
the fishermen of the United States
from the privilege of carrying on
trade with any of Her Britannic
Mejtety's subjects residing within
the limits assigned for their use, and
also that it should not be lawful for
the vessels of the Id States en
gaged .in such Ash 'to have on
Wiird.anyy.goods. or . uierclum
dile Whatever eltiept such as may be
necessary for the prosecution of their
voyages to and from said fishing
grounds; and any vessel of the Unit-,
ed States which shall contravene this
regulation may be seized, condemn
ed and confiscated with their augoes.
This proposition, which is Identical
with the construction put now upon
the language of the convention, was
emphatic ally rejected by the Ameri-'
can commissioners, and thereupon.,
was abandoned by the British pleni
potentiaries; and article I, as It stands
in the 'convention, was substituted.
If, however, it be said that this claim
is founded on provincial or colonial
statutm, and not upon the Conven
tion, this government cannot but re
gard them as unfrkmdly, and in con
travention of, the spirit of the treaty
for the lidthful execution of which,
the Imperial government is alone re
sponsible. Anticipating that an at
tempt may possibly be .made by the
Canadian .authorities in the coming
suer n to repeat their unneighborly
act toward our fishermen, I recom
mend you to confer on the Executive
the power to suspend by proclama
tion the operation of the laws author
icing the transit of goods, wares and
mershandhe in bond across the ter
ritory of the United States to Quin
da ; and further, should such an ex
limo Measure become necessary, to
suspend the operation of any laws
whereby the vteiebi of the Dominion
of Canada are permitted to enter the
waters of the United States.
Navigation of the Ni. Lawrenele.
A like unfriendly disposition has
been manifested on the part of Om
ads in the claim of the right to ex
clude the citizens of the United States
from the navigation of the river St.
Lawrence: Tho river , constitutes a
natural highway to the ocean. With
an aggregate population of about 17,-
600,000 inhabitants, and with an ag
gregate tonnage of 661,367 tons upon
the waters which discharge Into it,
the foreign commerce ofour ports on
theie waters is open to British com
petition, and the major part of it done
hi British bottoms. If theArnerican
seamen be excluded from this natural
channel to the ocean the monopoly
of the direct commerce of the lake
ports with thosttliudie would be in
foreign hands, their vessels on trans-
Atlantic voyages having an ALCM to
our lake ports, which would be deni
ed to American vessels on similar
voyages. 'To state such a proposition
is to refute its justice. During the
administration of Mr. John Quincy
Adams, Mr. Clay , unquestionably
demonstrated the natural right of the
citizens of the United Statesto the
navigation if this river, claimitig that
the act of the Congress of Nicene, in
opening the Rhine and other rivers
to all nations, showed the judgment
of European jurists and statesmen to
be that rho inhabitants of a country
through which a navigable river pass
es have a natural right to enjoy the
navigation of that river to and into
the sea, even though passing through
the territory of anotherpower. - This
right does not exclude the co-equal
right of the sovereign possessing the
territory through which the river de
beeches into the sea to make such
regulationti relative to the policy of
the navigation as may be reasonably

tual agreement; ' Tiro United States

Mr. Clay was just when the popular
lion of the States • bordering m. the
shores of the lakes was only 8,400.000,
it now deserves greater force and
equity from the increased population,
wealth, production and twinge of the
States on •the Canadian frontier.—
Since Mr. Clay advanced his argu

Oar Depressed Commerce.
Our depressed commerce Le a sub
ject to, which I called your inseciatat
tention at the last session. I suggest
ed that we will in the future have to
look more to the countries south ,of
us. and to China and Japan for Its
revival. Our representatives to ill
these governments have exerted
their Influence to encourage trade be
tween the Untied States and the
countries to which•they are accredited, but the fact exists that tbe carry
ing is done almost entirely In foreign
bottoms msd while:this taste of af
fairs exists, we Cannot control oar
due share of the commerce of the
world; that between the Pacific
States and China and Japan is about
all the carrying trade now con
ducted in American vessels. I would
recommend a liberal policy towards
that line of American steamers—one ,
that will insure its waxen and even
iniseased usefulness., The coat of
biilltlingirost - vesselS-4he only ones
that compete with foreign ships In
the carrying of trade—is , so math
greater in the United States • than in
foreign countries, that without some
assistance from the Government tbey
.cannot be successlblly built here.
There will be several 'propositions
laid before' Conarns In the course of
the present is, looking tun rem
edy for this evil. Even if It should
be at mat to the national treasury I
hope such nn encouragement wilt
given as will secure American ship
ping on the high seas and American
ship-building at home.
New Building flor the state De.

The condition of the archives at
the Department of State calls for the
early action of Congress. The build
ing now rented by the Department
Is d frail structure, at an inconvenient
distant* from the Executive man
sion and from the other Departments.
It is 111-adapted to the purpose for
which it is used, has not =putty to

not fireproof. Its remote situation,
its slender construction, and the ab
licence of a supply of water In the
neighborhood, leaves but little hope
of safety for either the building or its
contents in case of the accident of a
fire. its destruction would involve
the loss of the rolls containing the
original tuts and resolutkma, of Con
=of the histotic monist of the

of the whole series of diplomatic, and
consular archives since the adoption
of the constitution and of many other
capable records and papers left with
thAt department when it was the
principal depository of the govern-
Ii 7it archives. I recommend an ap
buil,nation for the construction of a
ding for the Department of State.
Trausfers from Deparenieets.
I recomlnend to you the reeomid
