Our tree*, of peace and commerce with that empire,
which ei 41 concluded at Tien-taitt am Juno le, 1868,
was ratified by the President, with the advise and
csnsent ti the Senate, on the 21et December follow-
ing. The ratleations of the treaty were afterwards,
on the 18th August, exchanged in proper form in
China. .ts the exchange did not take piece till after
the day prescr SPd by the treaty, it is deemed proper,
before its pub::cation, again to rabmit it to the
Senate.

"Our relations with the great Empires of France
and Ramie, en well ea on the continent of Europe,
unless we ezoept that of bpain, happily oontinue to
be of the moo friendly character. In my last
annual me-sage I presented a statement of the un-
satisfactory condition of our relations with Spain,
and I regret they have not mattnady improved.
Without special reference to other claims, the pl-
aint of wtich has been ably urged by oar ministers,
and in which more than 100 of oor citizen, are
direct', interw.ted, they still remain unsatisfied, not-
withstanding their justice, and though their amount,
12'.6. Cols. 64e., has been admitted by the Spanish
government.

" Lee= not repeat the arguments which I urged
in my last massy in favour of the •eqaiutiou of
Cuba by lair purchase. My opinion on that measure
is unchanged. I again invite your serious attention
to this subject. Without a recognition of this policy
on their part it will be almost impartible to ineritete
negotiations with any reesesable prospect of success.
" Until • racist period there was good reason
to believe that I should be able to announce
to you on the present omission that our difficulties
with Great Britain, arising out of the Clayton.
Delver Treaty, had been fu ly adjusted in a manner
alike honoemble sad satisfactory to both parties.
From causes, however, which the British govern-
ment have not anticipated, they have not completed
treaty arrangements with the Republics of Ren-
dered and Nicaragua in pursuance of the understand-
ing between the two governments. It in neverthe-
less, confidently expected that this good work will
soon be accomplished.
" While indulging the hope that no other subject
remained which weld disturb the good relation.
betwevo the two countries, the question arising out
of the adverse &hires of the parties to the island of
Sao Jute, under the Oregon Treaty of Juno
16th, 1846, suddenly seemed a threatening
prominence. In order to prevent unfortunate
collusions on that remote frontier, the local
government was instructed that the officers of
the territory should abstain from all acts on the
disputed .round calculated to provoke any conflicts,
as far as it eou:a be done without implying the con-
cession to the authorities of Great Britain of an reale-
UV!' right over the territory, and that the title ought
to bn settled before either party should attempt to ex-
clude the other by force, or exercise sovereign rights
witom the fairly divot= limits. Much excitement
prevailed for some time throughout that region.
Serious danger of a collision between the parties
was ariprcui nded. The British had a large naval
forte in the vicinity, sod it lean set of simple justice
to the Admiral on that station to state that he wisely
forb Ito t commit any hostile acts, but determined
to refer the whole affair to his government
and await their instructions. This aspect of the
mat •er, in my opinion, demanded attention, to pre-
vent any set of hostility from tekiug place. Lieut.-
General Scutt was despatched= the 17th September
leer to sake cienassud of the United States' forces if
necessary. Cmaideriog the distance from the scene
of action. and in ignorance of what might have
transpires on the spot before the general's arrival,
it was nee. asary to leave tench to hie discretion ; and
I am hippy to state the street proved that this dis-
cretion c.uld not have been entrusted to a more
competent officer. General Scott has recently re-
turned from his mission, having socomplished certain
objects, and there is no longer good reason to feu •
colonion between the fora of the two countries
during the exietieg negotiations.
" I regret to infers you that there has been no
improvement of the affairs of Mexico since my last
and I am again obliged to ask the earnest
attention of Congress to the unhappy condition of
that republic. Outrages of the worst desonption
are comwitted on persons and property. Thine is
searcelv any form of injury which has not been
suffer-it by our citizens is Mexico during the last
few years. We have been nominally at pesos with
that repablie; bet, so far as the interests of oar
commerce or of cur citizens who have visited the
country se merchants., shipmasters, or is other
capacities art =accrued, we might as well have
been at was. I recommend to Congress to pass a
law au!Latioisg the President, =der such restriction
as they nay dIAMS necessary, to employ military
fame stalest M.zieo for the purpose of obtaining
indleautty for the past and security for the future."
