PRESIDENT'S BIEksAGE Fellow-ettizenS of the ,Settateciiiit Rouse of RepriSenfdlicas : S rtsse bli ng another year of . - health 'end bountiful harvests has passed: ? .. And while it has not pleased the, Alraigh4 to blebs us with•a return of peace, we can'but press on. guided by the best . light He gives Us, trusting that in His own .good time, and %Vise' way, all will yet'be well. The correspondence touching foreign af fairs which has taken place during he last year is herewith submitted, in virtual coup pliance with a request to that effect, made by the [Rinse of Representatives near the close of the last session of Congress. the condition of our relations with other nations is less gratifying than it has usually been at former periods, it is certainly more satisfactory than a nation so uoliappily d s tracted as we are, might reasonably have ap prebended. In the Month old tine last, there were some grounds to expect that the tears. time Powers which, at the beginning of our domestic difficulties, so unwisely and unnec essarily, as we think, recognized the insur gents as a belligerent, would soon recede from that position, which has proved only leas injurious to themselves than to our own country. But the temporary reverses ivlffeli afterwards befell the natioual arms,and which were exaggerated by our own disloyal citi zens abroad, have hitherto delayed that act of simple justice. The civil war which has so radically changed for the moment the occupations and habits of the American people, has necess rily disturbed the social condition, and af fected very deeply the prosperity of the nations with which we have carried on a commerce that has been steadily increasing throughout a period of half a century It has, at the saute time, excited political ain bitions and apprehensions which have pro duced a profound agitation in the civilized world. In this unusual agnation we have forborne from lulling part in any contiliversy between foreiAStates, and between parties or factions in such States. We have at tempted no propagandismovad acknowledged no revolution. But we have left to every nation the exclusive conduct and insinage• ment of its own affairs. Our struggle has been, of course, contemplated by tweign nations with reference less to its (.n6l merits, than to its,supposed, and often exaggerated, effects and consequences resulting to those nations themselves. Neverth-les - s, complaint on the part of this government, eVelt it it were just, would certainly be tiewise. The treaty with Great Britain fur the sup pression of the slave trade has been put into operation, with a good prospect of complete success. It is an occasion of special pleasure to acknowledge that the execution of it on the part of Her Majesty's Government has been marked with a Jealous respect fur the authority of the United States, and the rights of their loyal and moral citizens. The Convention with Hanover for the ab olition of the stride dues has leen carried into full effect under_ the act of Congress" for . „ that puri.r..se. A blockade of three thousand miles of sea coast could nut be established and vig orously enforced in a season of great coin inertial activity like the pre,erit without committing occasional mistakes and iiillfct• ing unintentional injuries upon foreign ua lions and their subjects. A civil war occurring in a country where foreigners reside and carry oti trade under treaty stipulations, is necessarily fearful of complaints of the violation of neutral rights. All such collisions teed to excite inisappre hensious, and possibly to produce inutteil reelamatiotis between nations which have a common interest in preserving peace and friendship. In clear cases of ;his kind, I have, so far as possible, heard and it:dressed ' complaints which have been presented by friendly powers There is still, however, a. large and augmenting number of &itwit' cases upon which the Govs.rionent is unable to agree with the govern tents w hitse protec tion is demanded by the claimants. There are moreover, many cases in which the •G. States, or their citizens, suffer wrongs from the naval or military authorities of foreign nationa,whicit the government of those Slates are not prepared to redress. I have proposed to some of the foreign states thus 'lntel ested, mutual conventions to examine and adjust such complaints. This peoposition has beim made especially to Great Blitaiii, to France, to Spain, and to Prussia. In each one it has been kindly received, but has nut yet been formally adopted. I deem it my duty to recommend an lip . propriatiou to the owners of the Norwegian bark Admiral P. Tordetiskiold, wliicli v essel was, in May, ISO, prevented by the cunt mender of the blockading foree off Charles ton from leaving that prat with a cargo, not withstanding a similar privilege had, shortly belore, been granted to an English vessel. I have dizected the Secretary of State to cause the papers in the case to be communi cated to the proper committee. Applications have been made to me by many fr e Americans of African descent to favor - their emigration, with a view to such ' colonization us was contemplated by,recent acts of Congress. Other parties, at home and abroad—some from interested motives, others upon patriotic considerations, and still others itiflueuced by philadithrume senti ments—have suggested similar measures while, on the other hand, several ut the Spanish American Republics have protested against the sending of such colonies to their respective territories Under these circum stances, Iha . declined to move any such colony to any State, without first obtaiuing ..,the conseut of its government, with an agree moent on its part to receive and protect such emigrants in all the rights of Recit:oi and I have, at the same time, offered to the sev eral States situated within the tropics, or having coloniet there, to negotiate with them, subject to the advice and consent of the Senate, to favor, he voluntary emigration of persons of that class to their respective ter. ritories, upon conditions that shall be equal, just and humane. Liberia and Hayti are, as yet, the only couutries to which colonies of African descent from here could go with certainty of being received and adopted as citizens ; and 1 regret to say such persons, contemplating colonization, do not seem SG willing to migrate to those countrea us to some others, nor so willing as I think their interest demands. I believe, however, opin ion among them, in this respect, is im proving, and ere long there will be an aug mented and considerable migration to both these countries from the United States. The new commercial treaty between the United States and the Sultan of Turkey has been carried into - execution. A commercial and consular treaty has been negotiated, subject to the Senate's coosent, with Liberia; and a similar negotiation is now pending with the Republic of llatyi. considerable improvement of the national commerce is expected' to result from these measures- Our relations with Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, and Remo, and other European States, remain undiatarbed. Very fayoreble. relations also. continue to 69 tnatutaitted with Turkey, Mo• eoced, China arid Japan. During the:last . year there has--not-only beeri no change with. our previous relations -with' the independent States of our continent, but more friendly sentiments thin have here-- tofore existed are, believed to be entertained by these neighbors, whose safety and pro gress are so ittkin itely_vonnected with ours._ Thie - stafeinent especially applies to alcsciea Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Peru 'and < The oommisaion under the convention with the, Republic of New Grenada closed its sea sion.ivithout Laving audited and passed upon all the claimawhielt'ivere submitted to it.

IL La worthy of your serious consideration whether some extra- ordinary measures to promote that end cannot be adopted. The ineans which suggest itself as most effective. is a scientific exploration of the mineral regions of those Territories, "with a view to the publication of its results at home anti in foreign countries—results which cannot fail to be tiuqicinus. The oondit ion of the finances Will Maim your most diligent consideration. Thu vast expen• ditures incident to the military and naval eperntions required for the suppression of the rebellion, have hitherto been met with a promptitude and certainty unusual in similar circumstances; end the public credit has been fully maintained. Tao qoutinuance of the war, however. and the increased disburs ements metre necessary by the augmented forces now in the field, demand your best re flections as to the best modes of providing the necessary revenue, without injury to bu siness, and with the least possible burdens upon labor. The suspension of specie payment by the banks, soon after the commencement of your last session, made large issues of tinned States notes unavoidable. lu no miler way could the payment of the troops. and the satisbic- I lion of Other just demands, he so economically, or so well proVided for. The judicious legi=l•i thin of Congress, securing 1110 reoeivability of these riot es for loans and internal duties and making them a legal tender fur other debts, has made them an universal currency ; and has satisfied, partially, at least, and for the time, the long felt want of 101 uniform oercu• lacing medium, saving thereby to the people, immense sums in discount and exchange. A return to specie payments, however, at the earliest period compatible with due regard to all interests concerned, should ever be kept in view. Fluctuations in the value of cur- renoy are always injurious, and to reduce titese fluctuations to ;he lowest possible putnt. will always be a leading purpose in wise leg- ' istation. Couvertibiloy, prompt and certain convertibility into man, is generally ackuow ledged to be the beet and surest staleg,nard against them: but it is extremely doubtful whether a circulation ut United States notes, payable iu coin, and tofliuieutly 13rge fur the wants of the people, can be permanently, usefully nn I safely maintained. Is there, then, tiny other mode in which the necessary provisions for the public wants tan be tulitle, and the great lidruniage of a Sitf.e and uniform currency secured 1 know of none which promises so cortaia res,ilts, and i., at the same time, su UtiubjeC tionablti, as Ile organipition of banking asso ciations, under general act or Cuogrets, well guarded is its p.m: dons Tu such nesoma „Lions the government nright furnish circulat iftg Limes, out the security urithe linitel States bonds deposited in the treasury. These notes, prepared untivr the stipervi,tou of the prover 0114:era, being uniform in appearance and se curity, tied convertible always into coin, would at once protect labor against. the evils of a vicious currency, and facilitate commeree by cheap and safe exchanges. A moderate reservation from the interest on the bond would compensate the United States for the pieperation and distribution of the nutes,•and a general supervisiotrof the sys tem, and would lighten the ',aline credit, tom cover, would be greatly improved, and the negotiation of the new ii an greatly facilitated by the steady market demanded tor govern• meta bonds wnich the adoption of the prop posed system would create. It is :0 1 litional recommendation of the measure, •4 con.iderable, wei;111, in lay judg merit, that it would reconcile, as far as possi ble. all existing interests, by the opportunity °tiered to existing institutions to rcorgarime under the net, bubstirtuing only the secured uniform national circulation for ilia local and various circulation, scouted and unzecured, new issued by them. The receipts into the treaqury front all sources, including loans, and balance Irmo the preceding year, fur the fiscal year ending on the 30th tit Jun.., 1862 ; were *573,835,247 00, of which sum $19,(156,397 01 were deri tied from customs; $1,793,331 73 from the direct ; Irmo public lands $132.203 7f ; from miscellaneous Sources, s93l,ibi 61; from loans in all farms, $329,092.461) Tile ernaintler, $2,237,061 bU, Was the hal.,nce front last year The disbursements during the sarne period were for congressional, elect/Ilse anti jildiCl•li trilfrpOSeg, qt, VS . ; Tor raiatign course, $l, 3:,1'.i,710 35; for itliscell , ukt, , u , ex pense-, including the mints, luaus, post ud,ce deficiencies, col.eetion of revenue end Other like charges, $14.129,771 30; or expenses under the Interior Department, $3 102.985 32; under the Star Depar:ment, $391,308,307 86; fur interest on public debt, $1.1,111t,1i24 4a, and fur payment un public debt, including to imbursementB of temporary loan rind redemp tions, $96 0 96.6 2 2 09; making an aggregate of $370.841,700 2.1, and leaving a. balance In the treasury no the first day of July, Ibo 2, of $13,0-13,316 81. It should be observed that the sum of $96,- 096,922 09, expended fur reimbursements and redemption of public debt, being included also in the leans wudu, may be properly deducted, both from receipts and expenditures. making the actual lecopts tar the year $187,7ti;,321 97: and the expenditures $404.744,778 16. Other informatillll cu the but.'ject of the fillalleCts will be found in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, to whose state• meets and views I invite your must candid and considerate attention. The reports of the Secretary of War, arid of the Navy, are herewith transmitted. These reports, though lengthy, are scarcely more thou brief abstracts of the very tunnel 0119 arid extensive transactions and operations con ducted through those departments. Nor could I give it summary of them here, upon any principle.? which would admit of its lc:ing touch shorter Ilion the reports themselves. 1 there fore content toyaelf with laying the reports before you and a-king your at tent ion to them. It gives me pleasure to report it decided improvement in the tinincial condition of the Post Office Department, as compared with several preeeeding years. The receipts for the fiscal your 1801 amounted to $8,51 9 , 256 - 40, which embraced the revenue from all the States of the Union for three quarters of that year. Notwithstanding the cessation of rev enue front the so called seceded States during the Inst fiscal year, the increase of the corres pondence of the loyal States has been Filth diem, to produce it revenue during the same year of $8,200.220 70, being only $50,000 leas than was derived from all the States of the Union during the previous year. Thu ex penditures show in still more favorable result. The amount expended in 1861 was $13,606,- 759 11. For the last year the amount has been reduced to 12.125,364 13, showing a de crease of about $2,481,000 in the expendi tures as compared with the preceding year, and about $3,750,000 as (tempered with the fiscal year 1860. The deficiency in the de partment for the previous year was $4,81,006 08. For the lost fiscal your it was reduced to $2,112,814 87. These favorable results are io part. owing to, the oessatlen of Jnitil seryioe in the insur rectionary States, and in part to a careful review of all expenditeres in that dupartthent In the interest of economy. Theefticieney ' the'ptistal service, it is believed, hits also been much improved.. The Postmaster General has also opened -a correspondence; I.lfrotigh the Department of State, with foreign govern Monte, proposing a convention of postai. rop• resonatives fur the purpose of simPlifying the' -rates of foreign postage, and to expedite the foreign mails. This proposition, equally im portant to our adopted citizens, and to the commercial interests of this country, has been favorably entertained, and agreed to, by all the governments from whom replies have been received. I ask the attention of COngress to tbo sug gestiOns of the; Postmaster General in his -ro t port respecting the further legislation required in his opinion for the benefit of the postal service. The Secretary of the Interior reports as follows in regard to the public lands: The public lands have ceased. to bo a source of revenue: From tire Ist of July, -1861, to the'3ol.ll of Septeinber, '1862, the 'entire cash receipts from the sale of lands were $130,476 26;-- - a sum muo i\less than tho expenacttot our laud system durcOg the seine_ period.: ' , pip homestead law, which will Take: •effeat - ciiitfielst of January nest, oilers such' inducements to settlers, that sales for ()ash cannot be expected to an extent outheient to meet the expenses of the General Land Mee, and dlie,cost, of surveying and banging .the land into market." . The;discrepancy butweon tho sum hero etated'ae arOlog from the sales or il3O public . . lands, and -'the sum derived front the saine source, Ile reported front the Treneury De partment, arises, as 1 understand, from the tact that the periods of time; though appa rol!LlY, were not really, coincident at the• beginning point—the Treasury'reportiaelU ding a Considerable sum now which had previously been reported from the Interior— sufficiently large to greatly overreach the sum derived front the three months now reported upon by the Interior and not by the Treasury,. The Indian tribes upon our •frontiers have, during the past, year,. manifested a spirit of, insuboldination, and, at several points, have engaged in open hostilities aghast the white settlements in their vicinity. The tribes no copying the Indian country south of Kansas, renounced their allegiance to the United States and entered into treaties with the,insurgentn. Those who remained loyal to the United States were driven from the Country. The chief of the Cherokees has'visited this city fur the purpo-e of restoring the former relations of the tribe with the United States. He alleges that they wore constrained by superior force, to enter into treaties with the insurgents, anti that the United States neglected to furnish the protection which their treaty stipulations required. In the month of August last, the Sioux Indians, in Mill nesota, attacked the settle ments in their vicinity with extreme ferocity, killing, indiscriminately, men, women find children. This attack was wholly nues,pect fuel, therefore, no means of defence had been I provided. It is estimated that not Irss than eight hundred pereous were killed by the I n a ions, and it large amount of property was ; destroyed. How this Ott' break was induced is not definitely known, sad suspicion:4, which may be unjust, noel not be stated. lofortna non was received by the Whin bureau. from different sources, about the time hostilities were eommenced, that a simultaneous attack. was to be Malin upon the white settlements by all the tribes between the Mississippi river and the Rocky mountains. The State of Minnesota lots suffered great injury from this Indian war A large portion of tier territory has been depopulated, and a severe loss has been sustained by the destruction of prop• arty. The people of that State otaifest 11111011 anxiety for the removal of the tribes beyond the limits of the Suite as a guarantee against futon) hostilities.

The I erritory ie the only I art which is certain of durability. "Out. generation passelh away, and another coitteth but the earth ikbidetli forever." It is of the first importance to duly consider and estimate this ever•eriduring port.

Stearn, telegraphs and intelltg,emte. have brought these to he an I advantageous combination fur Ode united pee pie. In the inaugural address I briefly pointed out the total inadequacy of disunion as a rem edy for floe ditlerences between the people of the two sections. I did r.o in language which etunot improve, and which, therefore, lbeg to repeat.: 't flue section of our country believes sla very iA tight, ond ought to be extended while the oilier believes it is wrong, and ought not to be extended. This is the only substantial dispute, '4 , Tlie fugitive slave clause of the Constitution, and the law for the suppree Mon tat the foreign slave trade, are each as well enforced, perhaps, as any law can ever be in a cdmmunity where the moral sense of the people iniperfecily support the law itself The great body of the people abide by the dry legal oldigatitia in both cases and a few break beer in each. This, I Ihink, Cllll[lol lie perteetlt cured ; rand it would be worse in both cases after the separation of the sections, than before. The foreign slave trade, now imperfect:y suppressed, would be ultimately revived wit bent restriction in one section; while fug itive slaves, now only partially star rendered, would not be surrendered at all by the other.. l'hysieally speaking, we cannot seperate We cannot reMove our respective sections from each other, nor build an 'impassable wall between them.
