Without such a provin our citizens will be constantly exposed to interrup tion in their progress, an 1 to lawlestt violence. A similar necesMty cii.stts for the passage i.f such an act, fur the protection uf the Panama and Teiitiantepec route. in reference to the Panama route, the United States, by their existing treaty with New tiia nada. expressly guarautee the neutrality uf the Isthmus, "with the view that the free transit from the one to the other m a may nut be in terrupted or embarrassed in any future time while this treaty exists. In regard tu tho Tehmiitej'tc nute, which has heeu recently opened undrr the most ftvorah'e aufpices onr treaty with Mexico of the 30th De cmher, IS;.:!, si-cures to the citizens of the (nited St ties a rirlit of transit over it for their per.-ous and unTi'h;ndiz , an J stipulates that neither gov eminent thall 'intcr.ose unv oh.-iut'le" thereto.

These treaty stipulations with New (Iranada and Mexico, in addition to t he considerations applicable to the .Nicaragua route, taem to re quire legislation for ihe purpose of carrying ( hem into effect. The injuries which have been inflicted upon our citizens in Costa Kica and Niearrgu t, du ring the last two or three years, have received the prompt attention uf this government. Some of these injuries were of the most ag gravated character. The transactions at Virgin Ibiy in April, in loti, when a company of unarmed Americans, who were in nt way connected with any belligerent conduct r party, were tired upon by ihe troops of tV-fa Kica, and nu aiders of them killed and wounded, wad hrought to the knowledge ef Congress by my predecessor soon after the occurrence, and w isal.-o presented to the goTcrnuieni of Costa Hiea, f-.r that immediate investigation and rtdrese which the nature of t became demanded. A timihir course was pursue! wih reference to other outrages in there countries, gome of which were hardly lesa agirravated in their character than the transaction at Virgin Bay. At the time, however, when our present min mtnister to Nicaragua was appointed, in Ih cem bcr, 1So7, no redress had been obtained for any of these wrongs, and no reply even had been received to the demands which had been made by this government upon that of Costa Kica more than a year before. Our minister was instrueied, therefore, to loose no time in expressing to those governments the deep re gret with which the 1'resident bad witnessed this iuatieutiou to the just claims of the l uited State.-, and in demanding their prompt and satisfactory adjustment. l'u lean tins demand shall be Complied with ill an early day, it will only remain for this government to adopt gin h measure :w m:iy be necessary, in order to obtain fur itself that jus tice which it has in vain attciimiod to si-cin-c j(y K.:U-Cful memm, from the governments of Nicaragua and osla liica. W hile it has shown and will continue to show, the most sincere re gard for the rights and honor ot those repub lics, it cannot permit thi regard to be met by an utter neglect, on their part, of what is due the government mid citizens of the I'. S. Against New (iranad i we have long standing cau-e of complaint, ari-ing out of the unsatis fied claims of our citizens upon that repulie, and to these have been more recent Iv added the outrages committed upon our citizens at I'.imiiiii in April ls'iti. A treaty for the ad -jiiMinciit of the.M difficulties was concluded by the Secretary of Slate and the minister of New (iranada, in September, ls-"T. which contain. -1 just an acceptable provisions for tint purpose. ra'.il'u J by the government of New tiivnadt, t-ut I with certain aiiunoiDent. it was not, li iwt-v -r, ( returned to this city, until after the close of the j lat se.-siwii of the Senate. It will lie itumdUtciy trati.-uiitte'l to that body for their advice ai:d con sent, at.J should this i'C obtaiiicd, it w.d reiti-jve , all our exhtiag causes oi comjiiaint against New ' tiranada on the subject of el.iii.i-. 1 Questions have arisen between the two gov ernments as to the right of New (iranada to levy a tonnage duty upon the ves- N . f the I'nitcd States in its ports of the Isthmus, mid 1 to levy a passenger tax upon our cilieiis uiri 1 ving tn t hat country, whether with a de.-ign to remain there, or to pasfrom ocean to ocean by the transit route: and also a tax upon the mail ' of tho I'nitcd Stntes tranorteJ ocr the l'aa ama railroad. The government of Now ira nada lias been informed that (lie I'nitcd States would consider t he collect ion of ei' her of the-c taxes as an act in violation of the treaty be tween the two countries, and as such would be resisted by the I'nitcd States. At the tame time, we are prep:ir'd to discuss thcfc qucrti'.im in a spirit id" amity and justice, and with a sincere deti-e t a lju.-t thim in a sat- hfju-tory mannr A nepotiation f.-r th;it purpose has already been commenced. No effort baj re cently been made to collect these taxes, nor is any t anticipated under present eireumsttince?. i With the empire of lirazil our relations are j of the most friendly character. The produc tion of the two countries, and especially those I of aii agricultural nature, arc such as to in- I rlln nvli'tiuil'A mtltll:ll T ;l 1) . A l-'lTCf I uuantitv of American flour is consumed in .. r I ijuaniity of Ai Ilrazil, whilst "'" ' - :i''ie ol hrazilian conee in consuinea in tue ; I nited State?. Whilst this is the cae, a heavy duty has been levied, until very recently, upon t lie im portation of American flour into Urazil. I am gratified, however, to be able to inform jou that in September last this has been reduced from $1 to about forty-nine cents per bar rel, and the duties on other articles of our pro duction have been diminished in nearly the same proportion. 1 regret to state that the government ot t.ra- 7,1 8,lii 'iinies levy an export duty of h("lt 11 fwr C(,nl- ftn Coflee, notwithstanding ,hi? ftr,ice s admitted free from duty m the l"nit-l Stte. This w a heavy charge upon ,,c coiisouhtsi oi vom-- in our coining, C P"rciiaw nan oi uieeiiiiiv sin puis crop oi uiai Our Minister under instructions will reiter ate his efforts to have this export duty removed and it is hoped that theenlightened government of the Fmperior will adopt this wise, just and equal policy. In that event there is good rea on to believe that the commerce between the two oountries will increase, much to the advan tage of both. The claims of our citizens against the gov ernment of Itrazil are not, in the aggregate, of very large amount ; but some of these rest upon plain principles of justice, and their set tlement ought not to be longer delayed. A renewed and earnest, and I trust a successful eff ort, will be made by our minister to procure their final adjustment. On the 2d of June, l-t. Cnngre'passed a joint resolution authorizing tint President "toad 'pt such Qicarurea and uce fuch force a, in his judgment, may he necessary and adviseable" for the purpose uf adjusting the difference between the I'nited States and the republic of 1'araguay, in connexion wfth the attack of the l uited States Ktcanu-r Water Witen and with other measure r fernd to in his annual messrge.

Should our commissioner prove unsuccess ful, after a sincere and earnest effort io accom plish the object of his mission, then no alter- dative wilt remain but the employment of j lor -jo to obtain "just satisfaction from 1 ara I g"y" vtrW of ibis contingency, the Sec- Iretary of the Navy, under iny direction, has fitted out and despatched a naval force, rendez vous near iiuenos Ayren, which, it i believed, will prove sufficient for the occasion. It is my i earnest desire, however, that it may not be found necessary to resort to this last ulterua- five. When Congress met in December Iaat, the buii nesji of the country bad jut been crushed, by one of thoe periodical revulsions which are the inevi table consequence of cur unsound and extravagant i system of bank credits and inflated currency. I W ith all the elements of national wealth in ahun. dance, our mnnuf ;iet(ries were suspended, our use ful public and private, enterprises were all arres ted, and thousands of laborers were drprived of employment and reduced to want. Fniveral dis tress prevailed among the commercial, manufac turing, and mechanical ehisgcs. This revuhiou was felt J he more severely ic the I'nited Slates because similar causes bad produced the like deplorable effects throughout the commer cial nations of Furope. All were experiencing Fad reverses at the fame moment. Our iiitnufjc-tun-rs everywhere MifTcred severely, not becau.-e of The recent reduction in the laritt of duties on iuiprits, but because there was no deuiitnd, at any price, for their productions. The people were obliged to restrict themxclvcs in tluir purchases to ariiclen uf prime necessity. In the general prostration of businebs, the iron manufactures in different States probably suffered more than any other class, aud much desi it u! ion was the inevitable consequence, among ihe great number uf workmen who had been employed in the useful branch of our Industry. There could be no supply where there was no demand. To present an example; there could be no . deoiaud for railroad iron, tiller our magnificent system of railroads, extending its benefits Io ; every portion of i!ie L nioti, had been brought i to a dead pause. The same consequences have i resulted, from similar causes to many other branches or useful manufactures. It is self evident that where there is no ability to pur chase manufactured articles, these cannot be sold, and consequently musL cease to be pro duced. No government, and especially a government of t-uch limited powens as. that of the In Led States, could have prevented the lata revulsion. The whole C"iuuH-rcia! world seemed for yean to have been rushing to this catafteophe. The same ruin ous consequences would have followed in the Uni ted States, whether the duties upon foreign imports had remained as they were under the tariff of ISfi'i, or had been raised to a much higher standard. The tariff of 1sj7 had no agency in the result. The general iMUgcs existing throughout the world, could not have been controlled by the legislation of any particular country. The periodical revolutions which have ex isted in our past history, must continue to re turn at intervals, so long us our present un- cvd.u.. of le.l.L- .r.-.tlu Jl.II ......... i I ! They will, however, probably be the less severe 1 j iu future; because it is not to be expected at lea-; for many years to come that the commer- , clal nations of Furope. with whose interests , . our own arc so materially involved, will expose themselves to simiKr calamities. I bit this . subject was treated so much at large in my last i annual message, that I shail not uuw pursue it : further. Still, 1 respectfully renew the reOumnienJ.i- lion, iu fa vor of the pa.-sage of a uniform bank j nipt law. applicable to banking institutions, j Tbi- is all the power over the subject which, I believe, t be federal government possesses. Such a law would mitigate, though it might I not prevent the evil. The instinct of telf pre ' s- r .it i fii might produce a w liolc-ioiue icstraint upon their banking bu-iuyss, if they knew in a that a suspension of specie payment w .uld inevitably pnMa;'r mun are now j ' s-.'ily b'ut surely paing a way. The energy ; :iiid enterprise of our citizens, with our u:i- , b ii. tided resources, will, within the period of another year, restore a state of wholesome iu-dii-iry and trade. Capital has again nc :umu I..:ed it our large cities. The rale of iuicrct i- there very low. Confidence is gradually re- viiiig, and .o soon as it is discover jd that this ' capital can be profitably employed i.i comm r ciil and inanuiac! iu ing etiierp; ii s, u:id in I lie f-n-tntctinii of niilroa-ls and other works of pr.l.lic and private improvemeiit, prosperity will again binile ihioughoiit the laud. : It is vain, however, to disguise the fact from ' our.-elves, that a speculative inflation of our currency, without a corresponding inflaiiou iu othi-rcountrics wl.o-c manufactures come into ! competition with our own, must ever produce j : disastrous results to our domestic manulac- ' lures. No tariff, thort of absolute prohibition, can prevent these evil consequences. ' In connexion with this subject, it is proper I to refer to our financial condition. The same ' causes which have produced pecuniary distress i throughout tiie country, have so re luced the j amount of imports from foreign couniries,that ! the revenue has proved inadequate to meet i the necessary expenses of the government. j To supply the deficiency, Congress, by the act of 'l-'A December, Js"7, authorized the issue of ; $J0.inili.l)(M of treasury notes; and, this prov ing inadequate, they authorized, by the act of ! dune 1 1th, ls."S, a loan of sjn,iMMU)tMA "to bo ( applied to the payment of the appropriation ; made by law." ! No Statesman would advise, that wc should go on increasing the national debt to meet theorJi- naiy expenses if the goverment. This WuuM ! be a most ruinous policy. In case of war, our 1 ciedit must be our chief resource, at least for ; the first year, aud this would be greatly imp tir I e l by having contracted a large debt in time of peace. It is our true pjficy to increase our rev enue so as to equal our expenditures. It would be ruinous to continue to borrow. F.esides, it may be proper to observe that the incidental protection, thus afforded by a revenue tariff, would at the present moment, to some ex ! tent, increase the confi lence of the manufactu i ring interests, and give a frsh impulse to our ' reviving business. To this, surely, no person : will object. Iu rcpard to the mode of assessing and col j letting, duties under a strictly revenue tariff, I ! have long entertained ami evpressed the opin ion that sound policy requires this should be done hy specific duties, iu cases to which these can be properly applied. They are well adap ' ted to commodities which arc usually sold by weight or by measure, and which from their ! nature arc of equal or of nearly equal value. Such, for example, are the alleles' of iron of ' different classes, raw sugar, aud foreign wines j and spirits. In my deliberate judgment, specific duties are the best, if not the only means of securing tlie re venue against false and fraudulent invoices, and : Mich has been the praetiee adopted f -r this pur pose by other commercial nation. lies ides, sp : cine duties would afford to the American manu ; facturer 'he incidental advantages to which he h . fairly entitled under a revenue tariff; I The present system is a sliding scale to his dis I advantage. Coder it, when prices are high and i business prosperous, the duties rise in amount when he least requires their aid. On the cuntra I ry, when prices fall, aud h is struggling against adversity, the duties are diminished in the same ' pn portion, greatly to his injury. Neither would there be any danger that a ' higher rated duty than that intended by i'on ' press, could he levied in the form of specific duties. It would beeasy toascerfain the aver j unc value of any imported article for a sreies ' of years : and, instead of subjecting it to at) ad "valorem duty a certain rate per centum, to ; substitute in its place an oiuiyalcut specific I duty. j llv tuch an arrangement the consumer would not h9 injured. It is true, he might hare to pay a litle mure duty on a given article in one year; but if so, he would pay a little less on another, j and in a series uf years there would counterbaj ' ance e eh other, and ainuuut to the same thing, so ; far as his interest is concerned. This inconveni ence would be trifling, when contracted with the 1 additional security thus affuided against frauds upon the revenue, iu which every consnmer is di rectly interested. I have thrown out these suggestions as tho fruit of my own observation, to which Congress, in their better judgment, will give such weight as they may jmtly deserve. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury will explain in duta.l the operaliuds of that department. The receipts into tho treasury from all sources, du ring tha fiscal year ending VUth June, 1358, inclu ding the treasury notes authorized by the act of December 2;t, lsjs, were seventy million two hun dred and aeventy-three thoupand eight hundred aud sixty-nine dollars and o'J cents, ($70,273, Hfitf 6iM which amount, with the balance of seventeen million seven huuured and ten thousand ne hun dred and fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents, (I7,7IU,1I4 27,) remaining iu the treasury at the commencement of year, made an aggregate for the service of tho year of eighty-seven million nine hundred and eighty-three thousand nine hundred and three dollaro and eighty -six cents, ( $7,9m:V6.)

The rapid increase tfic public debt, and the necessity which cxi-t for a modification of the tariff, to meet even the ordinary expenses of government, ought to admonish us all, in our respective spheres of duty. U the practice of rigid economy. TJ:e objects of t expen diture should be limited in number, as tar as ibis maybe practicable, and the appropriations neccessarj to carry them into effect, ought to be disbarred under the strictest accountability. Knlightened economy does not consist in the refusal to appropriate money for constitutional purposes, essential to the defence, progress, prosperity of the republic, b'ut in taking care that none of this money shall be wasted by mismanagement, in its application to the ob jects designated by law. Comparisons be'iyeen tho annual expendi ture a! the present time, and what it was ten or twenty years ago, are altogether fallacious The rapid increase of our country in extent and population, renders a corresponding in crease of expenditure, to some extent, uavoid able. This is constantly creating ue objects of expenditure, and augmenting the amount required for the old. The true question then, are, have these objects been unnecessarily mul tiplied? Or has the amount expeuded upon any or all of them, reen larger than comports with due econemy 1 In accordance with these principles, the heads of the diutrent executive departments of the government, have been in structed to reduce their estimates for the next fiscal year, to the lowest stand, aud consistent with the efficiency of the service, and this duty they have performed in & spirit of just econ emy. The estimates of the Treasury, War, Nary, and 'nterior Uepaitments. have each been in some degree reduced ; and unless a sudden aud unforseen emergency should arise, it is not an ticipated that a dcficiciicy will exist in either within the present or the next fiscal year. The I'o't office Iepartinent is placed in a pecu liar position, differing from fhe other Depart ments, and to this I tdmll hereafter refer. I invite Congress to institute a rigid scrutiny to ascertain whether the expences in all the depart meuts cannu! be still further reduced; and 1 promise them all the aid in my power inpurso ii.g the investigation. 1 transmit herewith tha reports made to ma by the Secretaries of war, of the Navy, of the In terior, and of the Postmaster General. They each contain valuable information und important recommendatiouf), to which 1 invite the atten tion of Congress. In my last annual menage, I took occasion to recommend the immediate construction of ten email steamers, of light draught, fox the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the navy. Congress responded to tho recommendation by authorizing the eons true lion of eight of thenu The progress which has been made in executing this authority is stated io the report of the Secretary of the Navy. I concur with him in the opinion, that a greater number of this class of vessels is ne cessary, for the purpose of protecting in a more efficient manner the persous and property of American citizens on the high seas, and in foreign countries, as well as in guarding more effectually our own coasts. 1 accordingly re commend the passage of an act for this pur pose. The suggestions euntained ii the report of th Secretary of the Interior, especially loose in re gaap to the disposition of the public domain, the pension and bounty land system, the policy tow ards the Indians, and the amendment "f our patent laws, are worthy of the serious consideration of Congress. Hits Vust Office Department occupies a posi tion very different from that of the other de partments. For many years it was the policy of the government to render this a self-sustain ing department; and if this cannot now be ac complished, in the present condition of the couuiry, we ought to make as near an approach to it as may be practicable. The Postmaster tJetieral is placed in a most embarrassing position by the existing laws. He is obliged to carry these into effect. 11c has no alternative. He finds, however, that tbis cannut be done without heavy demands upon the treasury over and above what is re ceived for postage; and these have been pro gressively increasing from year to year until they amounted for the last fiscal year on the St Ufa June, 1&, to more than four millions and a half of dollars ; whilst it is estimated that for the present fiscal year they will amount to 2!o,M. These sums are exclusive of the an nual appropriation of $7MUHH) for -compensation for the mail service performed for the two houses of Congress and lite other depart ments and officers of the government in the transportation of tree matter." The cause of these Iare deficits is mainlv at tributable to the increased expense of transporting the mails. la Isjj2 the sura paid for this service was but a fraction above four millions and a quar ter. Since that year it has annually increased un til in it has reached more thau eight millions and a quarter; and fur tbu service of liV it is es timated that it v, ill amount to mure thn ten mil lions of dollars. The receipts of the Pot Office Department can be made ty approach or to equal its expen ditures only by means of the legislation of Con gress. In applying any remedy, care should be taken that the people shall not be dtpiived of the advantages, which they are fairly entitled to receive from the Pot Office Department. The principal remedies recommended tu the consideration of Congress by the Postmaster General, aud to restore the former rai of postage upon single letters to five cents; to substitute for the franking priviledge the de livery to those now entitled to enjoy it, of post office stamps for their correpoii lnee, and to direct the deprtmedt, in making contracts for the transportation of the mail to confine itself to the payment of the sum necessary for this single pnrpose, without requiring it to be transported in post coaches or carriages of any particular deseripiiori. I'udcr the present sys tem, the expense of the government is greatly increased, by requiring that the mall shall be carried in such Vehicles as will accommodate passengers. This will he done without pay from the department, over all ro.i-k where the travel w ill remunerate i.e c "Mr.K tors. Tit- rocummt-o-lationM IerVe the grare Cfin-!erxlioD of Ciirreia.

Bradford, of th L'uited States Navy, arrived at Charli-Mton ou the tb Auut; when the negroes, three hmired ant nix in number, were dt-hvered iolo the roato dy of the Cm ted atates Marshal for the district of Sooth Carolina. Tle-y were first plaeeil io Castle Pinrkney, and afterward io Fort bumpier for sat'e-keepiotf, aiii were de tained there until the I'.'th September, when the sartirors, two hundred aof seventy-one i& number, were delivered ,q board tiie fnited 8Utes steamer Niairara. to be transport, d to the oast of At'nca, Under the charge of the agent ol the Coital Statei, puntu.uit to th- provmions of tlie act of the 3d March, 119, addition to the act prohibiting the slave trade " Under the 21 section ot tbis act. tlie 1'resident is ''autho rized to make kucIi regulations and arrangement a he may deem evnedii-nt, for the nafe keeping, support and re moral beyond the limits of tiie Coiled States, of all sweb negroes, aiolattoes, or psrsuu of color" eaptnred by ves sels of tlie V nited Mates, as uay he delivered to the mar shal of Uie district into which they sre brought; l'htnl o appoint a proper penmn or persons remdint; upon the coast of Atrtca. as agent or agents for receiving the Beg roe, mufatot-s. or entorw of color, delivt-re from on board ves sels seiied in the prosecution of the slave trale by com manders of the united slates armed Teels." A doubt immediately aro e as to the true construction of tti lit act. It is ijuite clear From its terms ttiat the Presi dent was authorised to provide fur the Kife-keepiog, sup port, and removal' ot these negroes up to the time of tneir delivery ttie agent oo Uie coast of Africa ; but no express provision was made for their protection ami sup port after they bad reached the place of their detinat on. Mill, an agent was to be appointed to receive them in Ainca ; and it could not have been soppoa- d that Congress intended besheald desert ttietn at the moment they were received, atl turn thera lor e on that inhospitable coast to perish for want of food, or to become acin the victim of the slave trade. Had tbi been the inntioo of Cod ffiess, Uie em ploy ice nt of an agent to receive them, wbo is required to reside on the coast, was unnecessary, and tbey might have been landed hy oar vessels anywhere in fna, and left exposed to the sufferings and the fate whK h would certainly await them. Mr. Monroe in bis special message of 17th December, 1819. at th- first sexmon atter the art was passed, an nounced to Congress what, in bis opinion, was its trrj CounlrucUoQ. tie believed it to be bis duty under it. to follow these unfortunate into Africa, and make provision for them there, uotil they should be able to provide for themselves In communicating this interpretation of ttie act ot congress, be Mated that some doubt hau been en tertained as to the true intent and meaning, and he sub mitted the question to them, so that they might, "should it be deemed advisable, amend tue Sam before further proceed i tigs are had under it." Nothing wa done by Confess to evplain the act. and Mr. Monroe proeerdrd to carry it into execution accord i eg to bis own interpretation. This, theo. became the practi cal construction. When tbe Africans from on board the Kcho were delivered to tbe marshal at Ciiarhtton, it be came my duty to consider what disposition ought to be made of them under tbe law. For many reasons it tu expedient to remove (hem from that locality as speedily a possible. Although the eon. I art of the aathoritjet and cttiiene of Chart', ia giviDgaoentenajK to Ineawattea iT tfce I tw was Juat what Blight have expected rfoto taeir bltrB chnracter, yet a prolonged continuance of three hon dre4 Africans to tee Immediate ridnlty of that city, conld "t have fa. lad to eermne a sowree of Incwovewiene and anxietj to iU iahabilanta. Where to mui these, wae the question. There waa no pocttoa uf the eoaet ef Afn to which they conld be rewwved with any regard to bamani tj, except to Liberia. Coder those drcn instances, as sreemrat waa enHered tntb w:tb ihe Colonisation Society on the 7th of sVptember last, a copy of which is herewith transmitted, wader which tlie Society engaged, for the consideration of forty -Ave thowaaad dollar, to receive these Africans in Liberia front the agent of tbe United BL.tes, and furuish them do nog the period of one year thereafter With comfortable shelter, clothing, provisions, and medical tt-nlanre, causing the children to receive clothing ; ond all. whether rbibtrea or adults, to be instructed the arte of civilised Use, suitable to their condition. This aggregate of 000 waa based upon an allowance Of tor each individual, sad as there has been consid erable mortality among them, and may tie more before) they reach Africa, the Horiety have agreed, in an equitable spirit . to make such a deduction from the amount as. under eireamstances, may appear jast and reasonable. This can ot be Dxed antil w shall ascertain the actual aasaber which may become a charge to tie? Society. It was also agreed that, nd-r do cirrnmstanee. shall this Government be called upon for any additional ex pense. The agent of the tlociety manifested a laudable deaire to coo form to the wihtts of the Oovernment throughout the transactHm. Thev asaen-d me that. afW a careful cakoiation. they would be required to expend the ma of flfri on each in-lividual in complying with the agreement, and they would have nothing l-rt to remrnerate them for their car, tronlde, and responeilility. At all event. I could make on better arrangement, and there w no ether alternative, ihuiti Uie period whn Ute Ooverameat it self, through its owo agt-Lts. undertook ttie task of provid ing for captured ngToes in Africa, the cost per head was) very much greater. There having bora no outstanding appropriation appli cable to this purpose, I coo. 11 aut advance any money oo the agreement. I therefore recommend that an appropri tioa be made, of the amount mo-esary to carry it into ef fect. Other capture of a similar character mar. end perhaps) will be madf by oar naval toron. ami I earnMtly recom mend that Congress may amend Uie seond aeetioa of tho net of March S, lhltf . so as to free it ounslrnction froea tho amHgu ty wh.ch has so loug exixt-d. and render Um duty oi uie rresiaeot piain in oxecuong its provisions.

He hud been educated for a rabbi, and had so greatly won tiie esteem and confidence of the chief rnl.bi of the place, that he was frequently eiitn,;:cl with the adminis tration of the t.lewish) laws in his (the chief rabbi's) absence. Her parent1 and a!I parties assenting, she was married to the learned voting rabbi. n their marriage, her parents rave them a marrine portion of about on which they lived about a year at Kreena. when the youn-r rabbi suddenly disappeared, and was gone some three years before siie a.certained liis whereabouts. Finally, she heard of him at laniz! in rrtissin. whither she followed him, found him. and returned with him to Serai, in IVladid. Here they lived together another year, during which a cliild was born to them. When the child was some three months old, they went on a v . -it to her mother at Kreena remained there a few weeks, then started back for Serai. Arriving at the border, the rabbi, it appeared, had provided a p.isport only for himself, and intimating to an otheer that the lady was none of his. and had no passport, he was conveyed across the stream, while she waa left behind. This was the last she had seen of her lovingspouse until she met him ten days ago iu tMtawa. Hut she was unwilling to give him up so. Arming herself with fun Js and the necessary papers, she started in pursuit. She found traces of him in varioin places throughout Kurope, hut was never able to hx his locality until, after some years, she learned that he had been at Jerusalem had been there married to a sec ond wife had iu a year left her had thence been wandering over Kurope, assuming the character of a "Jerusalemite." begging fund forthedestitutechildren of Israel at Jerusalem; that in this way he had accumulated consider able money : that a brother of his second wife had pursued him, found him in Ueruiany, and pot a Jewitdi "writing of divorcement" from him. returned with it to Jerusalem and found it defective, followed him a second time, and found him in London, where he got another writing that was in due form. Then all traces of him disappeared until some two years ago, when she learned that he had deposited some money with a banker tn Hanover, with orders to forward it whither he should direct hy letter. The banker finally got a letter directing him to send the money to a banker named Israel, in Kalamazoo. Michigan. Thither she followed, and there was informed that the money had been sent to Seltzar, in care of lr. Askenaai, at Ottawa, 111. So she came to Ottawa, and here, by accident, met lr. A. in the street, w horn she at once recognized a her truant lord. The doctor made a feeble effort to deny his identity, but soon caved, and showed a dispo sition to come to terms. Her demands were reasonable enough. All she asked was a divorcement and some 1,500 in money to enable her to return to her parents. The first the loctor was willing enough to ac cede to, but being a great miser utterly scouts the latter proposition, to evade which he tried earnestly to persuade herto live with him again. This she peremptorily declines, but commences a proceeding in our Circuit Court for divorce and alimony, and for fear her rabbi may take leave of her again, she has him locked up on a writ of ' exeat. The IoctoT is known to have some eight or ten thousand dollars in gold in his possession, and could easy discharge the Indy's moderate demand, but is so miserly that he may linger a long while in jail before he will do it. The lady is not unhandsome, apparently very intelligent, and evidently brim full of grit. , rial. Cap 1 ?pj-lfwT 5.
