Ministers and consuls of foreign nations Are tie Means and agents of communication be us and those nations and it is of the utmost importance that while residing in the country they should feel a perfect Security so Long As they faithfully discharge their respective duties and Are guilty of no violation of our Laws. Tills is the admitted Laws of nations and no country has a deeper interest in maintaining it than Ine United states. Our Commerce spreads Over every sea and visits Ever clime and our minis ters and consuls Are appointed to protect the interests of that Commerce As Well As to guard the peace of the country and maintain the Honor of its Flag. But How can they discharge these duties unless they be themselves protected and if protected it must be by the Laws of the coun try in which they reside. And what in functionaries residing in for exactly the measure of to tie functionaries of other government left the the Mississippi at Gibralter for the purpose of making a visit to England and May to expected in by com ions to the department of state he his grateful inner position of Elliis government in f himself and his associates. This has been justly regarded As a Safe or those whom political events have ii bet shortly Munican has for the behalf country exiled film their own Homes in Europe it is recommended to Congress to consider in what manner governor Kossuth and his companions brought hither by ils authority shall be received and treated. It is can Willy to be hoped that the diff which have or some Lime been Pend he government of Iho French and thai of the Sandwich islands May be peaceably and durably adjusted so to secure the Independence of those islands. Long before the events which have of late imputed so much importance to the posses Sions of the United states on the Pacific we acknowledged the Independence of the hawaiian government. This government was isl m taking that step and several of the Cading Powers of Europe immediately Fol owed. We were influenced in ibis measure by the existing and prospective importance f the islands As a place of Refuge and re for our vessels engaged in the whale fishery and by is consideration that they in m the course of the great Trade which no Distant Day is carried on Between Conni nent advantages to Mexico herself. Impressed with these sentiments and ilk be convictions he government will continue to exert All proper efforts to bring about unnecessary arrangement with the Republic of Mexico for Tho speedy completion of the work. For some months past the Republic o Fanica Augua has been he theatre of one of those civil convulsions from which the Causo of free institutions and Tho general Prosperity and social Progress of the states of Central America have so often and so severely suffered. Until quiet shall have been restored and a government apparently stable shall have been organized no Advance can a Rucic Nutly be made m disposing of the Vivo questions Ped no botwen the two countries.

Tie annual allowance by Law is six thousand dollars and there is no provision for any outfit. I earnestly recommend the consideration of this sublet to Congress. Our Commerce with China is highly important becoming More and More so in consequence of the increasing in the Treasury on the 30lh i 00, meet that portion of the Public debt due on the first july Olio Wing amounting to 35 As Well As any appropriations which Mav be made beyond the estimates. In thus referring to 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 Libe ral course of policy May be pursued towards them and that every obligation express or implied entered into in consequence of their acquisition shall be fulfilled by the most Libe ral appropriations for that1 purpose.

An examination of the details of our exports however will show that the in creased value of our exports for the last fiscal year is to be found in the High Price of Cotton prevailed during the first half of that year win of Price has since declined about one half.

Too severe a judg ment can hardly be passed by the indignant of the Community upon who being Miter informed have yet led away be ardor of youth and an ill directed love of political Liberty.

Your attention 10 ubut it is accordingly invited and a proper appropriation a convention for the adjustment of claims we witness every struggle against oppression forbid thai be indifferent to a Case in which the Strong Arm of a foreign Power is invoked to Flifle Public sentiment and repress the spirit of Freedom in any country. The governments of great Britain and prance have issued orders to their naval commanders on the West India station to prevent by Force if necessary Tho Landing of adventurers from any nation on the Island of Cuba with hostile intent. The copy of a memorandum of the con-1 a creation on this subject Between the charge d affaires of her Brittanie majesty and the ing Secretary of stale and of a subsequent note of the former to the department of slate Are herewith submitted together with a copy of the note of Tho acting Secretary of state to the minister of the French Republic and of the re ply of the latter on the same subject. These i wars will acquaint you with the grounds of this interposition of the two leading commercial Powers of Europe and with the apprehensions has been concluded and the ratifications have been exchanged. The first instalment of the to be paid by Portugal fell die on the 30th of september last and has been paid. I the president of the French Republic according to provisions of tha convention has been selected As arbiter m the Case of Lien. Armstrong and has signified that he accepts the Trust and the satisfaction he feels in acting As the common Friend of two nations with which France is United by senti meals of sincere and lasting Amity. The turkish government has expressed its thanks fur the kind reception Given to the Multan s agent Amin Bey on the occasion of his recent visit to the United states. On the 28th of february last a despatch was addressed by the Secretary of slate to or Marsh the american mind Ter at cons anti the future might with a degree of Confidence i of which there War have been indulged. These however been thwarted by the recent outbreak in la state of on Tho right Bank c the Rio Bravo. Having received info Malio that persons from the United states had take part in the insurrection and apprehending that their example might be followed b others i caused orders to be issued for to purpose of preventing any hostile expedition against Mexico from being set on foot in Vio lation of the Laws of the United states likewise issued n proclamation upon the sub of coast and Eastern Asia. China is understood to be a country in which living is very expensive and i know of no reason Why the Amei ican commissioner sent thither should not be placed in regard to compensation on an equal footing with ministers Nha represent this country at the courts of Europe by reference to the report of the Secretary of Treasury it will be seen that the aggregate receipts for the last fiscal year amounted to 87 which will the balance in the Treasury on the 1st july. 1850, gave As the available Means for tha i or the sum of 3g. The total expenditures for the same period were 68. Total imports for the year ending 30th june of a Low Tariff and Large importations from abroad would have greatly Aue merited has fallen from 921 in 1847, 1850, and to Iii 1851, Wilh a Strong probability amounting almost to a cer Dainty of a still further reduction in the current year.

Of t entry by increasing the demand and la ism the Price of no Ricu Illura products in foreign markets. The foregoing facts however seer to show incontestably that no Stich result has followed the adoption of this policy. Fiji the contrary notwithstanding the i repeal of the restrictive Corn Laws of England the foreign demand for the products of he american Farmer has steadily declined since the Short crops and consequent famine ii a portion of Kurppe have been happily real laced by full crops and comparative abundance of food purring to the com the you. This appeared to be rendered impera live by Tho obligations of treaties and the general duties of Good neighbourhood. In my last message 1 in formed Cong res that citizens of the United Stales had under Lakin Iho connexion of the two oceans Means of a Railroad across the isthmus o Tehuantepec under a Grant of the mexican government to a citizen of that Republic unc that this Enterprise would probably be prosecuted with Energy whenever Mexico should consent to such stipulations with the govern Munt of the United should in part feeling of Security to those who should invest their property in the Enterprise. A convention Between the two governments for the accomplishment of that Frfd has been ratified by this government and Only awaits the decision of the Congress and the executive of that Republic. Some unexpected difficulties and delays have Arisen in the Ratific aliens of thai convention by Mexico but it is to be presumed her decision will be governed by just and enlightened As Well of the general importance of Theio Jeci As of her own Inte rests and obligations. In negotiating upon the important subject ins government has had in View one and Only one object. That object has been and the construction or attain men of a passage rom Ocean to Ocean the Shorie St and Best for Ravelero and merchandise and equally open o All the world. It has sought to obtain no territorial acquisition nor any advantage be Culiar to itself audit would see with the grip test regret that Mexico should oppose any obstacle to the accomplishment of an in Ere in specie 4 9g7 90 Llie exports for the same period of Winch there were of Domestic products foreign goods re exported specie since the 1st of december Hist the pay ments in Cash on account of the Public debt exclusive of interest have amounted to 46 which however includes the sum of paid under the 12lh Arti Cle of the treaty with Mexico and the furl her sum of 45, being the amount of awards to american citizens under Tho late treaty with Mexico for which the Issue of a that tha Las been in Cotton by for the past value of our Domestic exports a creased in the single item of a.
