A similar couree'vess pursued with refer ence to other outrages in these countries, some' of which wo e hardly lees aggravated in their character than the iraneac.ion at 'Virgin Bay. At the kime, however, when our present minister to Nicaragua was lip pointed, in December, 1857, no redress had been obtained fur any of these wrongs, and no reply even had been received to the de •nanda which bad been made by this Govern• 'Anent upon that of Costa Rica, more than a 'year before. Our minister was instructed, 'therefore, to love no time in expressing to those Governments the deep regret with which the President had witnessed this inat tention to the just claim's of the U. States, and in demanding their prompt and satisfac tory adjustment. •Unless this demand shall be complied with at linearly day,it will only remain for this Govern-bent to adopt -such other measures as may be necessary,in order to obtain for itself that justice which it has 'in vain attempted to secure by peaceful Means from the Goveroments of Niosragna omd•Costa -Rica. While it has shown, and will continue to show, the most sincere re gard for the rights and honor of these Re publics, it cannot permit this ..regard - to be • met by an utter neglect, on' their part, of what is doe to the Government and citizens • of the.United*States. Against New Granada ee have long-stan• -ding cause of complaint, arising out of the unsatisfied claims of our citizens•upon that Republic ; and to these havo.been more re , • cently added the outrages committed upon our citizen's at'Panama, in April. 185 G. A treaty for the adjustment ,of these difficulties 'was concluded by the Senretary of State and the minister of New Granada,in September, 1857, which coatained.just and acceptable provisions for that purpose. This treaty was transmitted to Bogota, and -was ratified by The Government of New Granada, - but with certain amendments. ft was not, however, )returned to this city until after the close of 'the last session of•tbe Senate. It will•be imr . _ .. . mediately transmitted to that body for their - -advice and-consent; and'sbould this' be obi lained, it will remove all our existing causes of complaint against . New Granada on the sabject of olaime. Questions have arisen between the two. - Governments as to the right of New Granule to levya tonnage tax upon the vessels of the -United States in its ports of the Isthmus,and to levy . a,passenger tot upon-oar citizens ail riving in that country.whether with a design to remain'there orle pass from. ocean to o.' coon by the transit route . ; and also a tax on the mail of the -United States transported 'over tile Panama railroad. The Government •of New Granada has been informed that the United States would consider the collection -of either of these taxes as an actin violation of the treaty between the two countries, and as Such would be resisted by the U. States. Attbe same time, we are prepared to discus these queltions in a spirit of sni . try and just 'tics and with a sincere desire to adjust the::. in a satisfactory manner. A negotiation for that purpose has already been commeneed. -No effort has recently-been made to collect "those taxes, nor is, any anticipated under -present circumstances. With the empire of Brazil onr relations 'are of the most friendly character. The productions of the two countries, and espe cially, those of an agricultural nature, are such as to invite extensive mutual excitant ges. A large, quantity of American .-flour is consumed in Brazil i whilst more than treble the amount in value of Brazilian cof' fee is consumed in the United States.— Whilst this is the case, a . heavy duty has been levied, until very recently, upon •the importation of American Hour into Bfazil. : I am gratified, however, to Worm Ton that in September last this has been reduced to froin sl' 32 to about 49 cents per.barrehand .the duties on other.articles of our . product -lion have been diminithed ht. nearly the -same .proportion., I -regret to state that the Governinent of . Brazil still-continues to levy an export duty of eleven percent. on coffee, notwitlistatt: 'ding this article is admitted free of. duty 'in the United States.

The claims of our citizens against the Government of Brazil are not, in the aggrei . gate, of very large amount; but some of these rest.upon plain priroiples el' justice, and their settlement ought not o be longer delayed. A renewed and eernest, sod, I trust, a successful effort, will be made by our minister to procure ; their final adjust/ meal." On the 2d of June htst,Congress passed a joint resolution authorizing the President "to adopt such meainres and use such "force aeon his judgentent,may be' necessary and advisable." "for the purpose of adjust, . ing the differences between the United States and the Republic of Paraguay, in con' nectian with the attack on the steamer Wa . ter Witch,and with other measures referred to" in his annual _message. And on the 12th . of July following, they made an appropri. ation to defray the expenses and eumpensa, - tion of a coommiesioner to that Republic, : should the President deem it proper to ' make such an appointment. 1 .

The instinct of self-preservation might.pro. duce a wholesome restraint upon their banking beelines, if they knew in advance that a suspension of Specie pup mint would produce their civil death. But tne effects of the revulsion are now slowly but surely peeing away.

To this, surely, no person will olject. In regard to the mode of assessing and collecting duties under it strictly revenue tariff, I have long entertained and expressed the opinion that sound pulley reikttires this sboun Le done by specific duties, in cures to which Giese can be properly Replied.

Neither would there be danger that m.higher - rate of duty thau•thitt intended by Congress. could be levied in the form of specific duties.

After what I have already Said, I need scarcely add thail con cur in the opinion expressed in his report, :that the public debt should not be increased by an ad di tionnl lonn, and would therefore strongly urge upon Congress the duty of making, at their pre sent, eepalen, the necessary provision for meeting the liabilities. The public debt on the • Ist July, 1858, the com mencement of the present fiscal year, was $25,- 155,977 68. During the first quarter of the present year, the sum of 610,000,000 has been negotiated of the loan authorized by the act of 14th June, 1858 —making tho present outstanding public debt, exclusive of treasury notes, $35,155 , 97 7 66.

Tu this will ho added $ .10 ,- 000.0t10 during the present fiscal year—this be ing the remaining hnif of llto loan of .$20,000,- 000 not yet negotiated. The rapid increase of the public debt, and the necessity which exists for a modification of the tariff, to meet even the ordinary expenses of the Government, ought to admonish us all, in our respective spheres of duty, to the practice of rigid economy. Thu objects of expenditure should bo limited in number, ns fur as this mny be.practicable, nod the appropriations necessary to carry them into effect ought to bo disbursed under the strictest accountability. Enlighten ed economdy does not consist in the refusal to ap propriate money for constitutional purposes, es sonVal Willis defence, progress, and prosperity of the Republic, but in tatting' care that rione,df this money shall ho wasted by mismanagement, in its application to the of designated by law. Comparisons between 'the annual expenditure at the preson t time, and what it was ten or twen ty years ago, aro altogether fallacious. The rap id increase of our country in extent and popula tion renders a corresponding increase of expendi ture, to sonic .exiont unavoidable. This is con etantly creating new objects of expenditure, and augmenting the amount required 'for tbo old.— The true questions, then, aro, have theso objects been unnecessarily multipred? or, has the amount expanded upon any or all of them been larger than comports with duo ccondiny ? In accord ance with these principles, the heads of the differ ent executive departments of the Government have been instructed to reduce their estimates (or the next fine' year to the Wrest standard con sittent with the efficiency of the service, and this duty they have performed in a spirit ofjusttcon omy. The estimates of thelreaectry,Var;-Naficand Interior Departments have each been* in some de gree reduced ; and unless a sudden and unfore seen emergency should arise, it is not anticipated, that a deficiency will exist in Ohm; within the present.or the next fiscal year. bet Post Office Department is placed in a peculiar position, dif ferent from the other departments, and to this I .shall hereafter refer. I incite Congress to institute a rigid scrufilly to ascertain whether the expenses in all the•do partments cannot be still further reduced; and I promise them all the aid in my power in pursu: ing tbo investigation. - I trantmit herewith tbo'repeirts'madis to me by the.Seeretaties of‘War, of the Navy, of the Inte rior, and of the'Postmaster General. They each contain valuable information and important rec ommendations, to which I invite the attention of Congress. In my last annual message I took occasion to recommend tho immediate construction 'of ten small steamers; of light draught, for lire purpose of increasing the efficiency of the navy. Con gress responded-to the recommendation by author izing the construction . of eight of them. The progress which'has been.lendo in executing this authority is staled in thereport of the Secretary of the Navy. I concur with him in the opinion that a greater number of this doss of vessels is necessary for the purpose of protecting in a more efficient 'manner the persons and property of A merican citizens on the high seas, and in foreign countries, as well as in guarding more effectually Cur own coasts. I accordingly recommend the passage of an act for this purpose. The suggestions contained in the report of the Secretary of the ratertor, especially those in re gard to the disposition of the public domain, the. pension and bounty• land system, the policy to wards the Indians, and the amendment of our patent latrs, are worthy of the serious' eonsidera tioh of Congress. The Post Office Department occupies aposition very different from that of the other departments. For many Stars it was the policy of the Govern ment:to render this a self-sustaining department; and if this cannot now be accomplished, in tho present condition Of tho country, we ought to n:mho as near an approach to it as may be.practi; cable. The Postmaster General is placed in linlo6t em barrassing position by the existing laws. He 'is obliged to carry'these into effect. -Ile bag no oth er alternative. Ile finds,hiffwever,:tha.t this can not be done Arithout. heavy demondeon tbe.Treas ury, Over and above what is received for postage; and these have been progressively increasing from year to year until they amounted for the last fiscal year,eriding on the 30th June,lBsB,to more than four millions and a half of dollars; whilst it is estimated that, for tho present fiscal year, they will amount. to $8,290,000. These sums are exclusive of the annual appropriatiorrof $700,000 fur "Compensation for the mail service performed for the two houses of Congress and the other departments and Officers of the Gorernment in the transportation of free matter." The cause of these large deficits is mainly at tributaple to the increased expense of twnsportint the mails.

The receipts of the Post Office Department can be mode to•riptiroacti or to equal its d t te , only by means of tbo legislation of Corm' refs:— In applying any remedy, cafe should 'lie taken that the people shall not Im• deprived• of Ihe ad vantages which they are fairly entitled to enjoy front the Post Office Departmeet. The 'principal" remedies recommended- to the cansideration of Congress by the 1 ., oetmneter 'General, are to re, store the former rate of - postage upon single let ters to five cenfei, to substliuto• for the franking privilege the delivery to-those now entitled to en .jgy it, of post office stamps fur their correspond ence; and to direct the department, in making connects for Abe transportation of the mail,. to. confine itself •to the payment of a sum necessary for this single purpose, without requiring it to be ,transported in post coaches or carriages of any particular description. tUnder the present sys tem, the expense to tbe.Covernment is greatly in creased, by-requiring that-the mail shall he car ried in such vehicles as will accommodate passen gers. This will be done without pay from the de ll - partment, over all roads where . the travel macerate the contractors. There recommendations deserve tic grace con eideratioti of Congrese... • . I would rgdin call your attention to the con struction of a Pacific railroad.• T-tre and reflec tion have but served to caotivm me in the truth . and justice of Um ohsertat ions obi,b I inado...en this subject, in my last; anoual . message, to '4 , 1 . 11A • I beg leave respectfully to refer. It is freely admitted that it would be inexpedi ent fur this Government to cue iso the power of constructing the Pacific railroad by its own im mediate agents. Such a policy would increase the patranoge of tbc executive to dangerousux tent and introduce a system of jobbing and cor ruption, which no vigilwnee on the part of Feder:. al officials could either prevent or detects This eon only•be done by the keen .eye, and the active and careful sepervision •or individual and private interest. The construction of this ro ndougbt, therefore, "to be committed to companies incorporated by the States, or other agencies whose pecuniary inter ests would be directly involved. Congress might then assist them in the work by grants of land or of money, or both, under such conditions and re strietiens as would secure the transportation of troupe and munitions of War free from any charge, and that of the United Stales mail at a fair and reasonable price. The prOgress of events Since the commence ment of your last session bus shown how soon difficulties. disappear before a firm and determin ed resolution. At the t time such a road was. deemed by wise and patriotic men to be a vision ary project: The great diStance to be overcome, and the intervening mountains and deserts in.the way, were obstacles which, in the opiniOn.of ma ny, could not bo surmounted. Now, lifter the lapse of but-a'single year, these obstacles, it bar been discovered, ere far less formidable than they were supposed to ho; and mail stages, with pas sengers, now pass and repass' regularly, twice in each week, by a common wagon road between San-Francisco and St. Louis and Memphis, in less than twenty-five days. The servicebas been as regularly performed as it was in former years between New York and this city. 'Whilst disclaiming all authority to appropri ate money for the construction of this road, es. •cept that derived- from the war making power"-of the Consti Winn, there are important collateral considerations urging as to undertake the work as Speedily as posible. . . • The first and most momentous of those is, that eueb o road srould be a powerful bond of union between the States east and, west. of the Rocky Mountains.. This - 114st) selteildent as to require no illustration. But again, in a commercial point of view, .1 consider this the great question of Abe day.— With the eastern front of our Republic stretching along the Atlantic, and its western front along the Pacific, if all the parts should be united by a safe, easy, and rapid intercommunication, we must necessarily command a very largo portion of the trade both of Europe and Asia. Our recent treaties, with China and Japan will open these rich and populous empires to our com merce; and the history of the world proves •that. the nation which -has gqined possession of the . trade with .Eastern Asia has always become weal thy and powerful. The peculiar_ geographical position of California and ourePaeifie posses alone invites American capital and enterprise in- to ibis fruitful field. To reap the rich harvest, however, UM an indispensable prerequisite that we Shall first have a railroad to convey and _cir culate its products throughout every portion of the Union. Besides, such a railroad through - 41Sr temperate latitude,which would not be impeded . by the frosts and snows of winter, nor by the trop ical heats of summer, would attract to itself much of the travel and the trade of all nations passing between Europe and Asia.

Maffit, of the United States brig Dolphin, captured the slaver "Echo" (formerly the Putnam, of Now Or ' leans,) near Key Verde, on the coast of Cuba, with more than three hundred African negroes on board. Thu prize, under the command of Lieut. Bradford, of the United-States navy ar rived at Charleston on the 27th August, when the negroes, three hundred and six in number, were delivered into the custody of the United . States marshal for the district of South Carolina,. They were first placed in Castle Pinckney, and after wards in Fort Snmpter, for safe-keeping, and were detained there until the. 18th September, when the survivors, two hundred and seventy-one in number, were delivered on board the United States steamer Niagara, to be transported to the coast of Africa, under the charge of the agent of the United States, pursuant to the provisions of the act of the 3a March, 1819, "in addition to the acts prohibiting the slave trade. Under the second section of this - act, the Pres ident is "outliorized to make such regulations and arrangiments as he may deem expedient for the safe-keeping, support, and removal beyond the limits of the United -States, of all such ne grecs, mulattoes," or persons of color" captured by vessels of the United States, as may be deliv -ered to the marshal of the .district into which they aro brought ; "and to appoint a proper per son or persons residing upon the const4 Africa, as agent or agents for receiving the negroes,-mu lattoes, or persons of color, delivered from on board vessels seized' in (he; prosecution of the . slave trade by commanders of the United States 'armed vessels." . • A doubt immediately arego as tetre true con struction of this act. It in quite 'Clear from its terms that the President'Wes nuthorised to-pro vide "for Alto safe-keeping; tepport, and removal" of 'these negroeszup till lifetime of their-delivery to the agent on the Coifit. of Africa; but no ex press provision'weemade for their protection and support after they had reached the place of their deetinntioa. • Still, on agent was 16 - be appointed 'to receive them in Artie:4 and it could not have bten Supposed that. Congress intended he should cast them loose on that inhospitable coast to '.perish fur wont of food, or to become again the victims of the slave - trade. lied this been the intention of Congress, the employment of nn agent to receive them, who is tcquircd to reside on- the coast, was unnecessary, and they might have been landed by our vessels anywhere in Africa, and loft exposed to the sufferings and the fate which would certainly await. them. Mr. Monroe in his special message of the 17th 1 of December, 1810, at the first session after the net was passed, announced te Congress what, in his opinion, was its true .construction. Ho be -1 lioved it to be his duty ander it, to follow these i unfortunates into Africa, and make provision for them there, until they should be able to provide for themselves. hi equitattnicating this interpre tation of the act of Congrese, he stated that some &Hitt had been-e - atertained as to its true intent and meaning, and he submitted the question to them, so thatthey might, "should it be deemed advisable, amend the same before further pro ceedings are bad ender it." Nothing 'was done by Congress to explain the net, and Mr. Monroe proceeded to carry it into 'execution according to his own interpretation.— This, then, became the practical construction.— When the Africans from on board the Echo were delivered to the marshal at Charleston; it became my dufy to consider what dispositioe ought to be made of them under the law. Fur many reasons, "it was expedient to remove them from that local ity as speedily ne.possible. Although the conduct ' of the authorities and citizens of Charleston, in 'giving countenance to the execution of the law, was just. what .might - have been expected from their high character, yet a prolonged continuance' of three hundred Africans in the hemetliate'vicin -ity of that city could not have failed to beccitee.a source of inconvenience and anxiety to its litho, bitants. Where to send them was the question. There was no portion of the const•of Africa to which they cook{ he removed with any regard to humanity, except to Liberia. Under these circumstances, - on -agreement was entered into with the Coleniscktipn Society on the .7th of September last, a copy of which is here with transmitted, under which the society engag ed, for the consideration of forty-five thousand dollars, to receive these Africans in Liberia from th.e agent of the United States, and furnish Ahem, during, the period of one year. thereafter, with • cOntfurtable &cher, c leth ing.provisiensiand med -I..ical attendance, (wiling the .childten'to receive Schooling; and all, whether children or adults, loin instrdeteci in the arts of civilized life, suit, able to their condition. This aggregate ail:illy-five thousand dollars 'was based upon an allowance of one hundred and fifty dollars fin each individual, and as there has 'been consider ablq mortality among them, and may . 1s t'nuire before they reach Africa, the society intro agreed, in an equitable:lpirit,.to make' such a deduction Alan the amount as, under the cir cumstances, may appear just and reasonable. This cannot be fixed until wo shall' ascertain the actual number which may become a charge to the Society. • •• It was also !distinctly agreed that, under no circumstances, shall this Government be called upon for any additional expenses. The agents of the society manifested a lauda ble' desire to conform to the wishes of the Gov ernment throughout the transaction: They as sured me that, after a careful calculation; they would he tequ ire() to expend the bum of one hue dred and Ofty dollars on each individual in coin ',lying with the agreement, end tbei.would -have nothing left to ramtmentte them for their care, trouble, end responsibility. 'At all events, I could make no better arrangement, and there was no other alternative. During the period when the government itself, through its own agents, undertook the task of providing for the captur ed negroes. in Africa,- the coot per head was very much greater. Zhere having been no outstanding appropria- CM applicable to this purpose, I could not ad vance nay money on the agreement. I therefore recommend:that an nppropriafion may. be made of the amount necessary to carry it into effect. captures of a similar character may, and probably will, be mode by our navel forcer; and oornestly recommend that Qonkrem may .a mend tho second section of the act of March 5, 1819, so as to free its construction from the nut biguity which Ito: , 'so long existed, and render the duty at the 'resident plain in executing its pro visions. I recommend to you!: favorable regard tho local interests of the District of Columbia. As the residence of Congresti and the executive depart ments of the Government, we cannot fall to Mel a deep concern in its welfare. This is heighten ed by tho . high character and the peaceful and or derly conduct of its resident inhabitants. I minuet conclude without performing the a greeable deity of expressing my gratification that Congress so kindly responded to the recommen dation of tuy last annual message, by affording me sufficient time before the close of their late session for the examination of all the bills pre 'eented Wmo for approval. This change in the practice of Congress has proved to be a whole some reform. It exerted a beneficial influence on the transaction of legislative business, and elicited tho general approbation of the country. It enabled Congress to adjoin% with that dignity and deliberation so becoming tbo representatives of this great Republic, without having crowded into general appropriation bills provisions .for eign to their nature, and of doubtful constitu• tionnlity and expediency.. Lot me warmly and stiongly commend title precedent; established by themselves, as a guide to their proceedings dun• ing, the present session. ' - JAMES BUCHANAN. WestmfaTos Ctrs, December 8. 1853.
