But W A t hatgives a peculiar criminality to en
vasien. of Cuba is, that itieder the lead. of Spanish
subjects and With.the•Jiitl of citizens of the United
states, it, had its origin, with, many, in motives of
cupidity. -Money was 'advanced by individuals,
probably irr considerable ameunia.topnrchase. Cu•
ban bonds, as.they have been called, issued byiLet
pez, scild,..doubtless,,at- a very. large discount, and
for the payment•of which the public lands and pub
lic. psoperty of-Cuba, of whatever kind,' and the fis
cal. resources of the people and government.pf -that
from whatever - source to be derived. .wete
Pledged, as well'as the good faith-of -the govern
ment expected lo be established. All these means
or payment, it is evident, weretonly to be obtained
by a procesefof bloodshed, wit, and revelation.—
None will deny that those who set on fool military
expeditions against foreign' etatee by means like
these, are fir more culpable than the •ignorant and
the necessitous whom they induie 'to go forth as the
osiehSible parties in the proceeding. These origi
nators of the invasion of Cuba seem to have deter.
Mined, with eeolnesS and system,•epon an
,under
taking which should their e'ountry, :violate
its laws, and pot to hazard the lives of "ill-informed
and delvdell Men. rou . willCorisider whether lur•
ther legislation be necessary to *event 'the perpe
tration of such offences in (Mine.
No individuals have a right to hazard _the peace
61 the country, or to violate its laws upon vague no
tions of altering or reforming governments in other
states. This principle is not only reasonable in I:-
sell, and in accordance with public laws, but ie , en.
grafted into the codes of other nations as well as our
oWn.
,But while such are Lte sentiments of this
government, it may be added that every independ
ent nation must be presumed to be able .to defend
its possessions 'against unauthorized individuals
banded together to attack them. The government
of the United States, at all times since its establish
ment, has abstained, and has benefit to restrain the
citizens of the conntiy, from entering into centre
verstes between other, powers, and to observe 'all
the defies of neutrality. At an early period of the
government, in the administration of Washington,
several laws were passed ter this purpose. The
main provisions of the s e laws, were re-enacted by
the act of April, ISIS, by which, amongst other
things, it was declared. that* if any person shall,
within the 'territory or jurisdiction of 'the united
States, begin, or set foot, or provide, or prepare the
means fir any military expedition or enterprise, to
he carried on from thence against the teiritory or
dominion of any foreign prince or state, or' . of :try
colony, district, or people with whom the United
States are at pe.tce, every person so offending, shall
be deemed guiliy, Lit a high misdemeanor, and shall
be lined riot exceeding . three thousand dollars, and
imprisonment not more than three years ; and this
law has been executed and enforced, to the full ex
tent of the power of th . e government, fronisthat day
to this. •
In proclaiming and adherirg to the doctrine of
neuron iry and non-intervention, the United States .
have riot fullnwed the- lead of other civilized na
lions; they have taken the lead themselves, and
have been followed by ethers. This was admitted
by one of the meat eminent of modem British states
men, who said in parliarnert, while a minister of
the crown, ‘• that, it lie wished for a guide in a B.YEL
te m of neutrality, he stieuld take that laid down by
America in the (lays of liVashington and-the secre
taryship ofJellerson ;" and we see, in fact, that the
act of Congress of 11+18 %vas-followed the succeed
ing year. by an act or the l'ailiament of England,
substantially the same iti . its general provisions.—
Up to that time there had been no similar law in
England, excepting highly penal statutes passed in
the reign' of George 11. prohibiting English subjects
from enlisting in foreign :service, the avowed object
of w hich statutes was, that foreiun armies, raised
for the purpose of restoring the hcase of Stuart to
the throne, should net be strengthened try recruits
from England herself.
All mum see thiit difficolriespay arise in carry.
ing the laws referied to ifoOexectuion in a Country

and small inlets, from some of which unlawful ex

Ministers atid cOnsiili of foreign nations are the
means and"itgents'ortorrimunicationt between' tis
end those nations, and it is of the utmost importance
that, while residing in the
. couritry r they. should feel
a perlent.segurity so, long as they faithfully dia._
charge their respectieduties and are guilty of no
violation of our lawn. ' 'the' admitted law of
nationeyand no country his a deeper interest- in
maintaining it than the - tinited States. Our com
merce spreads (070 f evety - seaand visits every clime,
.and oar . ministers and consuls are appointed to pro
tect the.intcrests of thalcommeice, us well as to
gbard the peace of the country and maintain the
honor alit!: flag. But how tan they discharge these
duties unless they be themselves protected ; and if
protected, it must be by. the laws of the country in
..which they . reside. And what is due to our own
public func tionaries in foreign nations is exactly the
measure of what is due to the functionaries of other
governments residing here. As in war, the bearer
of flags of truce are sacred, or else wprs would be
interminable, so in peace, embassadorS, public min
isters, and consuls. charged wrh friendly national
intercourse, are 'objects'ofespecial respect and pro
tection, each according to the rights belonging to
his rank and station.
In view of these important principles, it is with
deep mortification and regret. I
,announce to you
that, during the excitement growingout of the exe
trillions at Havana, the office of her Catholic majesi
ty's consul at New Orleans was aisaileth by a mob;
his property destroyed, the Spanish flag found in
the office carried off and torn in pieces, and he him
self induced to flee for his personal saf e ty, which
.he supposed to be in danger. On receiving intelli
gence of these evenN I forthwith directed the at
torney of the United States residing at Now Orleans
to inquire into the facts and the extent of the pecu
niary loss sustained by the consul, with the inten
tion of laying them befortkyou, that you might make
provision for such indemnity to h u m as a just regard
for the honor of the natior and the respect which
is due to a friendly power, might in your judgment,
seem to require. The' correspondence upon this
subjece between the Secretary of State and her
Critholte majesty's minister plenipotentiary is here.
with transmitted.
The occurrence at New Orleans has let: me to
give my attention to the state °tole Jawi' in regard
to foreign ambassadors, ministers, and consuls. I
think the le-tistatinn of the country is deficieht nt
not providing sufficiently eithei for the protection
or the punishment of consuls. I therefore recom
mend.the subject to the consideration of Congreiss.
Your attention is again invited topes question of
reciprocal trade between the United States and Can•
ads, and other British possessions near our frontier.
Overtures for a convention upon this subject have
been received from the Britanic Majesty's Minister
PlenipreentiarY, but it seems lobe hi many respects
preferable that the matter should be' regulated by
reciprocal legislation. Documents are laid before %
' you showing the terms which the British govern
ment is. willing to offer, and the measures which it
may adopt, if some arrangement upon the subject
shall rot be made.
From the accornpaning copy of a note from the
British Legation at Washington, and the reply of
the D i
epartmsr t of State thereto, i will appear that
her Britannic Majesty's government is desirous that
a part of tits boundary line between Oregon and the
British pnssessions should be authoritatively marked
out, and that an intention was expressed to apply to
Congress for an appropriation to defray the expense'
thereof on the part of the United States. Your atten
tion la this subject is accordingly invited, and a
proper appropriation recommended.
A convention for the adjustment ofelaims of citi
zens of the United States against Portugal has been
concluded, and the ratifications have been exAang
ed. The Met instalment of the of the amount to be
'Pi:lid by Portugal fell due on the 30th of September
last, and has been paid.
The President of the French republic, recording
to the provisions of the eon vention, has been select
ed as arbiter in die case of general Armstrong • and
has signified that he accepts the tram and the 'high
itstisfat lion he feels in acting as the common friend
of the two riatinieff; with which F-ance is united by
sentiments of sincere and lasing amity.
The Turkish government has expressed its thanks
for the kind reception given to the SOthri e s agent,

rnitrd States. On the flSth of February last a des
patch was addressed by tire Serrelary of State to
Mr. .Nliits•ll, the A rrirritran Minister at Conwaritino

pationss for the- future:might,. with a .degree.of con
sfidence have been indulged...,These, however,
'have been thwarted by the- - recent outbreak in the
State of Tamaulipas, on the right bank of the Rio
Bravo. Having received informaticin that persons
from. the United States had taken part in the insur
rection, amtapprehedingsthat their example might
be fotlowed.by others, I caused orders to be issued
for the Purposii•Ofpreveritiiig any hostileexpeditions
against , htesion from being set on foot in violation of
the laws of the United-States. c 1 likewise issued a
proclamation upon the subject, a copy ol which is
herewith laid before. you. This appeared to be
rendered imperative by the obligations of treaties
and the general ditties of good neighborhood.
In my last-annual message I informed Congress
that citizens of the United Stateshad undertaken the
connexion of the twoiveans by means of a railroad
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, under a grant ol
the -Mexican governmrAit to %citizen ol the repub
lic; and that this enterprise *mild probably be pro
secuted with energy whenever hlexico should con
sent to such stipulations with the United States as I
should impart a feeling of security to those who
should invest their property in'the enter Prise.
A convention between the two govemerrenta for
the accomplishment of that end has been ratified by
this government, and only awaits the decision of the
Congress and the Executive of the public.'
Snme unexpected difficulties and delays have
arisen in the ratification of that convention by Mex
ico, but it is to be presumed that hex decision will
be governed by just and enlighteped views, as well
of the general importance of the object, as of her
own interest and obligations.
In negotiating upon this important subject, this
Government has had in view one, and only one ob
ject. This object has beeu, and is the construction
or attainment of a passage from ocean to ocean, the
shortest and theliest for travellersand merchandise,
and equally open to all the world. It has sought
to obtain no territorial acquisition, nor any advan
tages peenliar to 1180 ; and it would see, with the
greatest regret, that Mexico should oppose any ob
stacle to the accomplishment of an enterprise which
promises so much convenience to the whole corn •
mercial world, and so much eminent advantages in
Mexico herself. Impressed with these arntlments
and the:e convictions, the Government will contin
ue to exert all proper efforts to bring the necessary
arrangement with the republic of Mexico for the
speedy completion of the work - .
For some months past the republic of Nicaragua
has been the theatre of one of those civil convuls
ion., from which the cause of free institutions, and
tt e general prosperity and social progress of the
state of Ceuteral America have so often and so se
verely suffered. Until quiet. shall have been restor
ed, and a goAemment apparently stable shall have
been organized, no advance can prudently be made
in disposing of the questions pending between the
two countries.
I am happy to announce that an inter-oceanic
comninnierition from themouth of the St. John to '
the Pacific has been so far aceemplished as that pas.
sen2ers have actually traversed it, amtmerchandise
has been trim-ported ever it; and when the canal
shall have been completed, according to the origi- '
nal plan, the means of communication will be fur
ther improved.
It is understood that aconsiderable part of the rail
road across the Isthmus Panama has been complet
ed, and that the mail and passengers will ut future
be ci - inveyed thereon.
Whichever of t!iti several touts between the Iwo

there is little reason to doubt itTal all al them will

I fthe . views of the - Secretary-of the Treasurysin
reference to• the expenditure required for,thessi-ter
ritories shalt be met by corresponding Relien nn the
part of Congress. and apprepriatioris made in de:
contanee therewith, there will be an estimated
neapproprinted balance in the Treasury on the 30th
June; 1853; of 820,366,443 90,.. wherewith' to meet
that portion of the, public due on the first July lot:
lotting, amounting to 56,237,931 35, Rs well as
any approririntious which may be' made beyond
the estimates.
In the referingio the estimated expenditures on
account of our newly acquired_ territories, I may
express the hope, that Congress will concur with
me in the desire that a liberal course of polley be
pursued towards them, and that every - ohlin.ation,
express or implied, entered into in consequenceof
their acquisition shall be fulfilled by the mustleber.,
al appropriations for that purpose.
The value of our ilemestio exports for the - last
fiscal year, exhibit nn increase of 943,616,322. , At
first view his condition of our trade with foreign
nations would seem to present the most flattetin,g
hopes of its future prosperity. An examination of
the details of our exports, however, will show that
the increased value of our exports for the last fiscal
year is to be found in the high price of cotton which
prevailed define - the first half of that year, which
price has since declined about one-halt.
The value of our exports of breachstufls and pro
visions, which it supposed the incentive of a low
tarifl and large importations from abroad,- would
have greatly angnmented. has fallen from 0.58,70
921, in 1847. to 026,051 373 in 1850, and to 621,-
9 : 18,653 in 1851 with a strong probability, amount.
ing almost to a certainty, of a still further ream
-lion to - the current year.
The aggregate values of rice exported the year,
ascompared with the two precious year s also ex
hibit a decrease amounting to :460,917, which,
with a decline in the values of the exports of tobac
co for the same period,make an aggregate decrease
in these two articles of $1,156;151.
The policy which dictated a low rate of duties
on foreign merchandise, it was thought by those
who promoted and establi-hed it, would tend to
benefit the farming population of this country, by
increasing the demand and raising the price of ag
ricultural products in 'foreign markets.
The foregoing facts however, seem to' show in
cutestably that no such result has fhlterweil the a.
doption of this policy. On the contrary, notwith:
standing the repeal of the restrictive corn taws in
England the foreig n demand for the products ohne
American farmer has steadily declined, since the
short crops and consequent famine in a f.ortion of
Europe have been happily replaced by full crops
and comparative aburi t lanee of food.
It will be seen p by revering Ad the - Comdierelal
statistics for the past year that the value of our do-.
mestic exports has been increased le the girlie
item of raw cotton by $40,000,000, o er the value
of that export for the year precedinr7. - This is not
due to arty increased general demand for that arti
cle but to the short crop of 4he preceding year,
which created an increased demand and auemee
tett price for the crop oflast year. Should the cot
ton crop now going forward to- market be only. e
qual in quantity to that of the year preceding, and
be sold at the present prices,, then there would be
a faller" off in the value of our exports fur the
present year of at least 40.000 000 compared
with the amount exported for the year ending 30th
June. 1851,
The production of gold in California for the past
year seems to promise a large supply of that metal
horn that quarter for some tire,e to Come. This
large annual increase of the currency of the - world
must be attended with' its *meal results. - These

It will be seen that the .caslfsalea of the public
lands exceed those of the preceeding year t autl that
there is reason to anticipate a still further increase,
notwithstanding the large donations which" have

of the growing wealth and j•ro-perity of our country.
