In asequence of a destructive hurricane which visited
, Cuba in 1844, the supreme authority of that island hued a
' decree permitting the importation, for the period of six
'months of certain builoiog materials and provisions, free ot
dote,' but revoked it when about half the period only but
elapsed, to the injury of the citizens of the United States,
who had proceeded to act on the faith of that decree, The
Spanish government refused indemnification to parties

After the reading of the Message,
Mr. CrArrox made some remarks ?dune te the treaty
of April 19, 1860, in order to show the people of the United
States the strength of the position assumed by this govern.
meat relative to Central American affairs, and the injustice
of the position taken by Great Britain with regard to tin
construction of that treaty. He agreed, generally, with all
that the President bad stated, and contrasted the pacific
character of this country with the aggressive policy always
pursued by Great Banat.
Mr. Sewall]) inquired whether the cloned taken by the
Presidia% wee that taken by the Britishgovernment re-
garding the contraction of that treaty, namely, that it was
mealy prospective in its operation, and had no referents to
the actual occupation by that country of the territory la
question ? Was that the uoderstanding of the government
of the United States when the treaty was made—Mr. Clay.
lon then being Secretary of State ?
Mr. CLAYTON replied that it was an entirely new. con.
striation, something of which he had never before head.
He never dreamed of such • construction being glees to
the busgwo of the treaty. Does any man suppose (Mr.
Clayton said) that I. In the possession of my seams, entered
into a treaty with Britain to allow her to remain in pews.
sion of the whole of this isthmus, merely because she had
bees is poinciana of it, and then signed a treaty to prohibit
my own entatrymen from taking possession, laving her
to remain undisturbed ? What motive could an Americas
Senate have had in voting for it? Is it possible that soy
man can believe for a single moment such a view was in
coatemplatioa by the negotiators when it was agreed that
° neither will oecapy,colooise,fortify, or exercise dominion"
in Central America ? Occupy means, first, to take poem.
doe, and, secondly, to keep possession. Great Britain
agreed to do neither, also agreeing that they wood cot
ozonise dominion there. He concluded by offering a ran.
lotion that the usual number of copies of the manage and
decumesta be printed, and that fifteen thousand copiee of
the same, is addition, be "tinted for the use of the Senate.
M. Date expressed his entire concurrence with what had
fallen from Mr. Claytoo, and his gratification at the coarse
taken by the President, aad the views enunciated in the
meesege. Is the whole history of diplomacy there vas
nothing to be found at all eomparsble with the course of
Britain regarding the construction of the Claytatßalwer
treaty and Central American affairs.
Mr. Withiaa commended the merge. He believed this
eeaatsy could never abandon the position she had seamed
relative to Central America. However the people of the
United States might be divided on question, of domestic
policy, whenever war menaced them, they would be fond
acting In harmony and unanimity. The message might he
denounced by pacedo.philenthropiste, but it would meet
with a cordial response from every friend of liberty ad
lover of the censtitatien and union.:
Mr. Swam, announced that he was prepared to stand
up and support the Balwer-Clayton treaty, and, if need be,
if the British government could not be held to that treaty,
he was ready to go farther. He was ready for the asserta
sad practical assiatenanee of the Monroe doctrine.
Mr. Clayton's resolution was agreed to, and the home
adjourned.
