The principles upon whicu they rest are so icanitlttly equitable and just, that pf!er a period of uparly ten jears, in li54, they were recognized by the Spanish govern ment. Proceedings were afterwards insti tuted to ascertain their amount, and this was finally fixed according to their own statement (with which wo were satisfied) at the sum of cne hundred and twenty-eight thousand fix hundred and thirty-five dollars and fifty-four cents. Just at the moment, after a delay of fourteen years, when wo had reason to expect that this turn would be repaid with interest, we have received a proposal to refund one third of this amount, (torty-two thousand and kcvcnty-eight dollars and forty-four oentfc.) but without interest, if we would ac cept this in full satisfaction. The offer is also accompanied by a declaration mat mis m- ernmeLt for the purpose of distribution among the claimants in the Amistau case .f res ident Polk first made a similar recommenda tion in December, 1847, and it was repeated by my immediate predecessor in December, 1S53. I eutertaiu to doubt that indemnity is fairly due to these claimants under our tre ty with Spain of the 27th October, 1795; and whilst demanding justice we ought to do justice. An appropriation promptly made for this purpose, could not fail to exert a favorable influence on our negotiations with Spain Our position in relation to the independant States south of us on this continent, and espes ially those within the limits of North Amer ica, is of a peculiar character. The northern boundary of Mexico is coincident with our demnification is not foundedwv any reason of ! own southern bouudary from ocean to ocean; . . 1 t - 1 . ? i A trict justice, but is made as a special favor One alleged cause for procrastination in the examination and adjustment of our claim?, rises from an obstacle which it is the duty cf the Spanish government to remove. Whilst the captain-general of Cuba is invested with general despotic authority in the government of that island, the power is withheld from him to examine and redress wrongs committed by officials under his control, on citizens of the United Sta es. Instead of making our com plaint directly to him at Havana, we are obliged to present them through our minister at Madrid. These arc then referred back to the captain-general for information, and much time is thus consumed in preliminary investigations and correspondence between Madrid and Cuba, before the Spanish gov ernment will consent to proceed to negotia tion. Many of the difficulties between the two governments would be obviated, and a long train of negotiation, if the captain-gen -eral were invested with authority to settle questions of easy solution on the spot, where all the facts are fresh, and could be promptly and satisfactorily ascertained. We have hitherto in vain urged upon the Spanish gov ernment to confer this power upon the cap tain-general, and our minister to Spain will and we must necessarly feel a deep interest in all that concerns the well-being aud the fate of so near a neighbor. We have always cherished the kindest wishes for the success of the republic, and have indulged the hope that it might at last, after all its trials, enjoy pease and prosperity under a free and stable government. We have never hitherto in terfered, directly or indirectly, with its inter nal affairs, and it is a duty we owe to ourselveB, to protect the integrity of its territory, against the hostile interference of any other power. Our geographical position, our direct inter ist in all . that coucerns Mexico, and our well settled policy in regard to the North American contineut, render this an indispen sible duty. Mexico has bctn in a Elate of constant their citizens,"and "severe chastening is the only earthly remedy for our grievances." From this statement of facts, it would have been worse than idle, to direct Mr. Forsytk to retrace his steps, and resume diplomatic relations with that government; and it was, therefore, deemed proper to sanction his withdrawal of the legation from the city of Mexico Abundant cause now undoubtedly exists, for a resort to hostilities against the govern ment still holding possession of the capital. Should th y caused in subduing the constitu tional forces, all reasonable hope will then bave expired of a peaceful settlement of our difficulties. On the other hand, should the constitu tional party prevail, and their authority bo established over the republic, there is reason hope that they will be animated by a less uu friendly spirit, and may grant that redress to American citizens which justice requires, so far as they may possess the means. But for expectations, 1 should at once have recom mended to Congress to grant the necessary power to tho President, to take possession of a sufficient portion of the remote and .unset tled territory of Mexico to bo held in pledge until our injuries shall be redressed acd our just demands satisfied. Wo have already exhausted e eery milder means of obtaining justice In snch a case, this remedy of rep risals is recognized by the laws of nations, not only as just in itself, but as a means of preventing actual- war. But there ts a nother view of our relations with Mexico, arising from tho unhappy con dition of affairs along our southwestern fron tier which demauds immediate action. In that remote region, where there are but few white inhabitants, large bands of hostile and predatory Indians roaming promiscuously over the Mexican States of Chihuahua and Senora, and our adjoining Territories. The j local government of these States are perfectly adjusted by some fair tribunal provided for the purpose, and the route must not be closed pending the controversy. Thi3 is our whole policy, and it cannot fail to be acceptable to other nations. All these difficulties might be avoided if consistently with the good faith of Nicara-. gua, the use of this transit could be thrown open to general eompetion ; providing at the same time for the payment of a reasonable rate to the Nicaraguan government, on pas sengers and freight.

Heretofore, a sei zure of the capital by a military chieftain, has been generally followed by at least the their notice. In this respect, we occupy a different position from tho powers of Eu rope. Cuba is almost within 6ight of our thores ; our commerce with it is far greater than that of aDy other nation, including Spain itteif ; and our citizens are in habits of daily and extended personal intercourse with every part of the island. It is, therefore, a griev ance that, when any difficulty occurs, no matter how unimportant, which might be readily settled at the moment, we should be obliged to resort to Madrid, especially when the very first step to La taken there is to refer back to Cuba. The truth is that Cuba, in its existing colonial condition, is a constant source -jf injury and annoyance to the American peo ple. It is the only spot in tho civilized world where the African slave trade i9 tole rated ; and we are bound by treaty with Great Britain to maintain a naval force on the coast of Africa, at much expense both of life aud treasure, solely for the purposo of arresting blavcrs bound to that island.

The population ot' th a Territory, uuuiVjrit.g, as I alleged, inuro than ten thousand souis, n such a condition of affairs, it is impossible that the light of civilization and religion can ever penetrate these dark abodes. It has been made known to the world by my predecessors, that the United States have, cn several occasions, endeavored to acquire Cuba from Spain by honorable negotiation. If this were accomplished, the last relic of the African slave trade would instantly dis appear. We would not, if we could, acquire Cuba in any other manner. This is due to otr national character. All the territory which we have acquired since the origin of the government has be3n by fair purchase from France, Spain and Mexico, or by the free and voluntary act of the independent State ot lexas, in blending h ed unredressed and even unnoticed, llcmon- ar,i practically without a government, without strances against these grievances have been j laws, and without any regular aduiiuistratiou addressed without effect to that rovomnipnt, of iustice. Murder aud other crimes arc Meantime, m various parts of the republic. instances have been numerous of the 'murder, imprisonment, and plunder of cur citizens, by different parties claiming and exercising a local jurisdiction ; but the central govern ment, although repeatedly urged thereto, have made no effort either to punish the au horscf these outrages or prevent theie recur rence. No American citizen can now visit Mexico on lawful business, without imminent danger to his person and property. There is no adequate protection to either ; and in this respect our treaty with that republic is I almost a dead If Htr.

The Island of Cuba, from its geographical position, commands the mouth of the Missis eipi, and the immense and aunually increas ing trade, foreign and coastwise, from the valley of that coble river, now embracing half the sovereign States of the Unioc With that Island under the dominion of a distant foreign power, this trade, of vital importance to these States, is exposed to the danger of being destroyed in time of war, and it has liituerto been subjected to perpetual injury and annoyance in time of peace. Our rela tions with Spain, which ought to be of the most friendly character, must always be placed in jeopardy, whilst the existiog colonial government over the Island shall remain in its present condition. Whilst the possession of the Island would be of vast importance to the United States, its value to Spain it comparatively unimportant.

Mr. Forsyth, regarding this decree in the light of a "forced loan," for mally protested against its application to his countrymen, and advised them not to pay the contribution, but suffer it to be forcibly exac ted. Acting upon this advice, an American citizen refused to pay the contribution, and bis property was seized by armed men to satisfy the amount. Not content with this, the government proceeded'still further, and issued a decree bauishing him from the coun try. Oar minister immediately notified them 1 that if this decree should bo carried into cxecu- tioa be would feel it to be his duty to adopt "the most desided measures that belong to the powers and obligations of the representa tive office.''

The political condition of the narrow isth mus of Cential America through which transit routes pass, between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, presents a subject of deep in terest to all commercial nations. It is over these transits that a large proportion of the trade aud travel between the European acd Asiatic continents is destined to pass. To the Uuited States theso routes are of incalcu lable importance, as a means of communica tion between their Atlantic and Pacific pos sessions. The latter now extend throughout scveutecu degrees of latitude on the Pacific coast, embracing the important State of Cali fornia and the nourishing Territories of Ore gen and Washington. All commercial na tions, therefore, have a deep and direct inter est that these communications shall be ren dered secure from interruption, If an arm of the sea, connecting the two oceans, pene trated through Nicaragua and Costa Rica, it could not be pretended that these States would have tho right to arrest or retard its navigation to the injury of other nations. The transit by land over this isthmus occu pies nearly the same posiition It is a high way in which they themselves have little interest, when compared with the vast inter ests of the rest of the world Whilst their rights of sovereignty might be respected, it is the duty of other nations to require that this important passage shall not be interrupted by the civil wars and revolu tionary outbreaks which have so frequently occurred in this region, Tho stake is too important to be left at the mercy of rival companies, claiming to hold conflicting con tracts with Nicaragua. lhe commerce 0 other nations is not to stand still and await May last, to bo in strictness a "forced loan' and as such prohibited by the 10th article of the treaty of 1820, between Great Britain end Mexico, to the. Lcnifits of which Ameri can citizens are entitled by treaty; yet the imposition of the contribution upon foreigners was considered an unjust and oppressive mea sure. Besides, internal factions in other paits of the republic were at tho same time levying similar exactions upon the property of our citizens, and interrupting their com merce. There bad been an entire failure ptx the part of our minister, to secure redress for the wrongs which our citizens bad indurcd, notwithstanding his persevcriug efforts. The government of the United States expect no more than this, and they will not bo sat isfied with less They would not, if they could, derive any advantage from the Nicar agan transit, not common to to tho rest of the world. Its neutrality and protection for the common use of all nations, is their only object. They have no objection that Nicar agua shall demand and receive a fair com pensation ftom the companies and individuals who traverse the route ; but they insist that it shall never hereafter bo closed by an arbi trary decree of that government.
