Her Majesty's Government has communicated to me its apprecia tion by her Majesty of the abilts indefatigable Industry displayed by Mr. Adams, the arbitrator named on the part of the Government, during the protracted inquiries and discus sions of the tribune. 1 (radially unite with Her Majesty in this ap preciation. It is due to the agent of the United States before the tribunal to record msr high appreciation of the marked ability, uuwearied patience, and the prudenceand discretion with which he has conducted the respons ible and delicate duties committed to him as it is also flue to the learned and eminent counsel who attended the tribunal on the part of this Gov ernment to express my sense of the talents and wisdom which they brought to bear in the attainment of the millt so happily reached. It will be the province of Congress to provide for the distribution among those who may be entitled to it of their respective shares of the money to be paid. Although the sum awarded is not payable until a year from the date of the award it is deemed advisable that no time be lost in making an ex amination of the several cases in which indetunitloction may be due. I consequently recommend the crea tion of a Board of Commissioners for the purpose. THE SAN JUAN BOUNDARY, By the thirty-fourth article o a f ' the treaty of Washington, the respective claims of the United Statesand Great Britain, in their construction ut the 15th of June,lB46, defining the boun dary line between their respective territories, wereenbmitted to the ar bitration, and the award of His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, to &vide which of these claims is most In accordance with the true in terpretation of the treaty of 1846. is Majesty the Emperor of Ger many, having been pleased tounder take the arbitrationAas the earnest thanks of this Government and of the people of the 'United States ,for the labor, pains and care which he has devoted to the consideration of this long pending difference. I have caused an expression of my thanirs to be communicated to his Midesty. Mr. Boncroft, the representative of this Government at Berlin, conduct ed the case and ,prepared the state . went on the part of the United States with the ability that his past 'service justified the public in expect ing at his bands as a member of the Cabinet. At the date of the treaty which has given rise to the discus. sion between the two 'governments, as the minister of Great Britain, • when the - construction now • pro nounced unfounded was first advanc ed, and as the agent and representa tive of the Government to present thetas* and to receive the award, he has been associated with the question in all of its phases, and in • every :stage has manifested a patriotic. seal And earnestness in the maintenarree of the claim of the United States. He is entitled to much credit for the suceeio which has attended the sub mission. After a partial Investiga tion of the ease, and of the state meats ()reach pa;ty,His Majesty, the Ettipetor, on the 21st otOctober last, s igned h l ' to award in writing, de ;misting that tbei;Clalin of the I:l3v' ertittient of .the United 'States, that, 'the 'boundary line-between the ter mouy of Her Britannic' Majesty tg l i sr t i n h Ungtiblellitiates* sh re aotannieei;lies MOst lii Okeordante 'With. • the true • interpretation-Of the =treaty cobble; iced on- the , . 15thi of "June, 1846, 'be lareeti the - ChrrernMenta of Her BOP labetn'iMajesty and of the 'Vatted : •I Cornett of the ease were presented RTM : Aka° -FIRES, 61" . the reeen ,swelit from 4, as It Were. 40 wealth ju here hits been fatuity within igratifylng Said' 447:73 tger SIMI/ Alec, tis~ Adder tbo..pppet VeNepetande . iteleittandshOW - that' they `son . - front .ni t des,whieh ' Anil; as far, as '?rietrate the xi exist to tietwi ruining the boundary line between the United State 3 and British pus sengions, between the Lake of the Woods and the Rocky .Mountains, has organize(' and entered upon its work.

To this end 1 recommend that a sufficient appropriation be made. PEACE WITU FOREIGN' POWERS. With France, our earliest ally, Rusela,theconstankand steady friend of the United States, Germany, with whose Government and people we have so many causes of friendship and so many common sympathies, and the other powers of Europe, our relations are maintained orrthe most friendly terms. Since my last annual inevsage. the exchange has been made of the ratification eta treaty with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, relating to naturalization; also of a treaty with 4e German Empire, respecting con i§suis and trade marks; also a treaty 'with Sweden and Norway, relating. to naturalization, all of which treat have been duly proclaimed. Congri at its last session having made an ap propriation to defray the expense of commissioners on die part of the United States to fife International Statistical Congress at St. Petersburg, the persons appointed in that charac- ter proceeded to their destination and attended the sessions of the Congress. Their report shall in due season be laid before you. This Congress meets at intervals of three years, and has held its session in several of the countries of Europe. I submit to your consideration the propriety of extending an invitation to the Con gress to hold fib next session in the 'United States. The centennial cele bration to be held in 1876 would af ford an apprqpriate occasion for such meeting. THE VIENN&EXPC6ITION. Preparations sib making for the International Exposition to be held during the next year is Vienna on a scateir,very great magnitude. The tendency of these expositions is in the dir:Otion of advanced civilization and of the elevation of Industry and of labor, and of the increase of human happiness as well as of greater inter course and good will between nations. As this Exposition is to be the first which will have been held in eastern Europe, it is believed that American inventors and manufacturers will be ready to avail themselves of the op pdrt um ty for the presentation of t hel r productions if encouraged by proper aid and protection. At the last sem *don of Congress authority was given for the appointment of one or more agents to represent this Government at the Exposition. The authority thus given has been exercised, but in the absence of any appropriation there is danger that the important benefits which the occasion offers will in a large degree be last to the citi zens of the Untied States. I com mend the subject strongly to your consideration, and recommend that an adequate appropriation he made for the purpose. To farther aid American exhibitors at the Vienna Expmition, I wouldriamend in qddition to an appropr iati on of mon ey that . the Secretary 0 the Navy be authorized to fit up•two naval vessels tot ransport between our Atlantic ci ties ind Tristia, or the most conven ient port, to Vienna and back their articles of eibibitlivit OCR tiEt,A ION Wri MEXICO.

This award con *ens the United States in their claim to the important archipelago of Islands lying between the continent and Vancouver's Wand, which for more than twenty-six , yearsever since the ratification of the treaty— Great Britain has contested, and leaves us, for the first time in the history of the United Mates as a na tion, without a question of disputed boundary between our territory and the • posessions of Great l Britain - on this continent. It is my grateful duty to aeknowl ,edire the prompt and; spontaneous 'action of her Majesty's Government In giving effect to the award; in an ,ticipation of any request from this •00earnment, and before the reoep lion of the United States of the 'awards signed by the Emperor, Her 310jesty- had given instructions for .the removal of her troops, which And been stationed there, and for the ~on of ail excerciiie or rialto of juttailiction, so so to leave the United ;States in the executive possession or .the lately dispbted. territory. I am gratified to be able to anbounce that the orders for the removal of the troopshave been exeduted, and that i:nilitary point the occupation of flan Juan has ceased. The islands are now in the executive possession of the United States. It now becomes necessary to corn thesurvey and a determination that portion of the boundary line -through the MHO Channel, upon Iwhien the commission which deter mined the remaining part of the line were unable to agree. I recommend the appointment of a commission to act jointly with one Which may be named by Her Majesty for that pur pose. The experience: of the diffi culties attending the determination colour admitted line 'of boundary -alter the occupation of the territory and its settlement by those owing allegiance to the respective' Govern- Inent's points to the importance of establishing, by natural- objects or rather monuments, ;he actual line :between the territory , Required by purchase from anti the ad joining possessions of Her Britannic Majesty. The region In How so sparsely occupied thatdio conflicting ,interesta of Individttaillor ofjuriadlc tion are likely to it erfere to the de-, lay or embarrassmentof the Actual Ibmtion of the line 4ferred. Pop ulation will enter ants occupy the territory. Trivial contests of neigh bons may again array 'the two Gov ernments in antagenhuu. I there lore recommended the apnea Mown t of a commisalon to act jointly with oue that may be appointed on the part of Great Britain, to determine the line between our territory of Alaska and the Caleindnous possessions of Great Britain. In my last annual message I recommend the legislation neces sary on the. part of the United States to bring Into operation the articles of the treaty of Washington of May 8, 187/.:relating to thellsheries and to other matters touching the rela tions of the United States toward the British North, American Posses sions, to• become operative eq.

This question has since wen disposed of, and I have received no tice that the Imperial Parliament and other legislatures of the Provin cial Government have passed laws to carry the provisions of the treaty on the matters referred to into oper ation. I therefore recommend your early adoption of the legislation in the same direction necessary on the part of this Government. THE FORTY-NINTH PARALLEL.

It is to be b9Ped that with a more settled ride Of , order through the republic, which may be expected from the present Govere ment, the acts of which just com plaint is made will cease.

ANPAIitS IX MBA. it ianot Without regret that I have *gain to anhiplice the continuance of the disturbed condition of the Is land of COW No advance toward the notification of the diacontented part of the population has been made, while the inserrection has gained no advantage, and exhibits no more of 1 the elements of power or of the pros pects of.ultimate success than were exhibited ago. Spain, on the other hand, has .not succeeded In its repression, and the parties stand ap parently In the same relative attitude which they► have occupied for a long time, past. This contest has latited , . l now for more than four years. Were, it seen at a distance from our neigh borhood, we might be indifferent to Its result, although humanity could not be unmoved by many of - its In cidents, wherever they might occur. It is, however, at our door. I cannot doubt that the continued tnainte- ' nonce of the slavery in Cuba Is among the strongest inducements to the continuance ofthls strife. A ter riblevrrong is the natural cause of a terribleevil. Tne abolition of slav ery and the introduction of other re forms in the administration of the Government in Cuba could not tail to advance the restoration of peace ,and order. It is greatly to be hoped Alit: the present liberal government P r APA. — Wiltiiigli4 - 1 viw The r W 0 p ernallelPs which was passed more than two years since, has remained unexecu t ed, in the absence of regular ones for its enforcenients. It was but a fee ble step towards emancipation, but it was the recognition of right, and was hailed as such, andexhibited in har mony with sentiments of humanity and of justice, and in sympathy with the other powers of the Christian and civilized world. Within the past few weeks the regulations for carry ing out the laws ofemanei nation have been announced, giving evidence of the sincerity of the intention of the present Government to carry into ef fect the laws of 1870. have not failed to urge theconsideration of the wisdom, the policy and the justice of a wore effective system for the aboli thin of the great evil - which oppress: esa people and continues a blooded and destructive contest close to our border, as well as the expediency and the justice of conceding reforms of which the propriety is not question ed. Deeply impressed with theucon victim that the continuation of slav ery is one of the most active muses! of the continuance of the unhappy condition in Cuba, I regret to believe that the citizens of the United States, or those claiming to be such, are large holders in Cuba of what is there claimed as property, which is forbid den and denounced by the law of the United States. They are thus in de fiance of the spirit of our own law, contributing to the continuance of this distressing and sickening con test. In my,last annual message I referred to this subject, and I again recommend such legislation as may be proper to denounce, and if not pre vent, at least to discourage Ameri can citizens from holding or dealing in slaves.- It is announced that the ratifica tion of the conventioq_under the aus pices of this Goverdbaent between Spain on one part and the allied ite publics of the Pacific on the other, providing for an armistice, have been exchanged. A copy of the in strument is herewith submitted. It is hoped that this may be followed by a permanent peace between the same parties. OUR FO REIGN RELATIONS The differences which at one time threatened the maintenance of peace between:Bruzil and the Argentine Republic, it Is hoped, are in the way• of satisfactory adjustment. With t hese States, as with the Republics of Central and SOU th America, we con tinue to maintain the must friendly relations. jt is with regret, howev er, I announce that the Government of Venezuela has made no payments to the award undet the convention of the 25th of April, 1866. That Repub lic Is understood to be now almost, If not quite, tranquilized. It is hoped, therefore, that it will lose no time In providing for the unpaid balance of its debt to the United Stat es , Nttich having originated In injuries to our citizens, and by the Venezuelan au thorities, and having been acknowl edged pursuant to a tasty of the most solemn form known among na tions, would seem to desert() a pre ference over debts of a different orig in and contracted in a digerent man ner. This subject is again recom mended to the attention of Congress for such action as may be deemed proper. • i TIIE JAPANESE EMBASSY. Our treaty relations with Japan remain unchanged. An imposing Embassy from that interesting and Progressive nation visited-this coun try during the year that is passing, but being unprovided with power for the siguint of a Convention in this country. no cOtxclusl,on in that direc tion was reached. It IStoped,howev er, that the interchange of opinions which took place during their stay in this country has led to a mutual appreciation to their interest which May be PranYited when the revision ofthe existing treaty shall be under taken. In thia connection I renew my reCommendation of one year ago, that to give importaneeaad to add to the efficiency of our diplomatic rela tions, *ith Japa n and. China, and to. Further aid a **thing the good opinion of nom people, and to secure the United States its share of the Established 1818. commerce that,lsAlAtined to ilOw•he tween those nations and the Whim! commercial the comercial arorld, appro priation be made to support at least four: Atherican youths in each of these countries to serve as a part of the official family of our Ministers 'there. Our representatives ' would not even then be placed upon an equality with the 'representation of Great Britain and of some other pow ers. As now situated our represen tatives in Japan and China have to depend for interpreters and transla tors upon natives of those countries, who know ourlanguage imperfectly, or procure for the Weafllol2 the ser vices of employes In foreign business houses or the interpreter; to. , other foreign ministers.

Persons in this situa tion must either perish. cast them selves upon the charity of foreigners, or be relieved at the private charity of our own officers. who usually, even with the most benevolent dispostions, have nothing to spare for such pur poses. Should the authority and ap propriation asked for be granted, care will be taken to carry the beneficence of Congress into effect, that it shall not be unnecessarily or unworthily bestowed.

MAN,zPORTATIoN The attentiQifof Congress will Le called during its present session - to various enterprises for the more cer tain and cheaper transportation of the constantly increasing surplus of tire western and southern products to the Atlantic seaboard. The sub- 1136% tea ., ,V 99 547 ject is one that will force itself on the legislative branch of the fioveru men t sooner or later, and I suggegt, there fore. that immediate steps be taken to gain all available information to Insure equable and just legisiatton. A route to connect the Mississippi Valley with the Atlantic, to Charles ton, South Carolina, and Savannah. Georgia, by water, by Itoo way of the Ohio and Tennessee Jivers, and canals and slack water navigation to the Savannah and Ocmulgue rivers, has been surveyed, and a report made by the accomplished second and third engineer officers of the artnx. New routes will be prepared for the con sideration of Congress—namely, by an extension of the Kanawahm anti James River Canal to the JAIN and by an extension of the Chesapeake ant 1 Ohio Caual. I am trot prepared to recommend Government aid to these or ogler en terprises until it is clearly. 'Shown th4t they are not only of national in terest, but that when completed they wilt be of a value commensurate with their cost. That production in- creases more rapidly than the means of transportation in our country, lies been demonstrated by past experi- enct growth In populations and protituits -of the whole country will require ito ditional facilities and cheaper ontin for the more bulky articled of coal 'tierce to reach tide water and mai ket, will be demanded in the near fu ture is equally demonstrable. I would therekire suggest that either committee or commission be autilot ized to consider this whole questio►i, and to report to Congress at some Ili turd day for its better guidance legislating on this important subject. RAILWAY EXTENSION . . The railroads of the country have been rapidly extended during the last few years to meet the growing demand of pr: Aucts,amilteflect much credit upon the capitalist& and man agera engaged in their construction. In addition to these to facilitate com merce by the building of a'ship canal around Niagara Falls on the United State& side, which has been .agitated for many years, your attention will no doubt be called at this session,look ing to the great future growth of th( .- country and the increbsing demand of commerce. it might be w•ell while on .this subject not only to have ex - atuinedand.reported ou the various practical routes for the connection of the Miadasipi with the water on the Atlantic, but the feasibility of an al most continous land-iocised naviga- THE SIGNAL SITILVICE TO THF 110 A RD, unprecedent(;.(l OM IiEMB fourth 13 CUES
