I invite the earl] attention of Congress: to the present cendition ofoir citizens in China., Under our treaty with that power, American citizens are withdrawn (inmate jurisdiction, whether civil or criminal, ofstrn Chinese Government, ands pleased under that ofour pablic fimetionari'es in that coun try. By these alone cast nor citisens be tried and punished for , the commission of lay crime; by Giese alone can questions be decided between hem involving the rights of personsand property; and by these alone can contracts be enforcedr into which they may have entered with the citizeno . or subjectaofforenrn powers. The Merchant vessels of the United States, lying in tbe waters of the Gee ports of China, open toe foreign commerce, are under the exclueive jurisdiction • of officers of ' their Own government: Until Congress shall tablish competent en - banals to wy and puniah crimes,and esereirn jurisdiction in civil case. in Ch ins, American citizens there are subject - to no law whatever. Crimes may be committed with impunity, and debts' may be contracted Without any inn= to enforce their payment. • , s Inconveniences have already resulted from the omission of Congress to legislate Upon the sub ject, mad still greater are apprehended. ' The British authorities in China haie already corn. pleined that this government has! not proirided (or the punishment of crimes or the enforce , ment of contracts against American citizens in that country, whilst their governinent hu estab . linked tribunals by which an Anicrican can re nover debts due from British subjects. s Accustomed as the Chinese are to summary' justice, they could not be made to comprehend' why criminals, who are citizen of the United States, should escape with imPimity in viola• lion of treaty obligations, whilit the punish ment. of a Chinese, who bad committed any crime against an American citizen, would be rigorously executed. s Indeed the consequences 'might be fatal to American citizens in China, should a flagfant crime be committed by any one of them span a Chinese, and shOuld-- trial and punishment not follow according to the re. quisitions of the treaty. This might disturb,. if not destroy our friendly relations with that Empire, and cause an interruption of our Valu able commerce. Our treaties with the Sublime Porte, Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco and Muscat, Ow require the legislation of Congress to carry them into exe cution, though the necessity of immediate ac. lion may not be w Argent as in regard to Cline. The Secretary of State has submitted in eiti• mate to defray the expense of opening diplomat. is relations with the Papal States.' The inter esting political - events now in progress in these Slates, fs well as a just regard to; our commer cial interests, have, in my opinion, rendered such a measure highly expedient: Eatimatee have also been submitted, for the outfits and nlaries of Charge d'Affairs to the Republics of Guatemala and Ecuador. The manifest importanee of cultivating the most friendly relations with all the independent Stain upon this continent, has induced' e to recom. mend appropriations necessary for tbe mainte. mince of these missions.' 1 recommend to Congress that an eppropria. tion be mule to be paid to the Spinish goyim: merit, for the purpose of distribution among the claimants in the Ansistad Case. 1 entertaip the conviction that this is due to Spain undeethe treat : x..4 20th October, 1795, end moreover that fromlhit cement mincer in which, the claim continues to be urged, Co long tu it shall remain unsettled, it will be a source. of irritation • mid discord between the two countries, which may prove highly prejudicial to the interests of the United - States.
