AMERICA.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 9 A. m .
By the steamer America we have advices from
New York to the 7th instant. She has 323,000
dollars in specie on freight. The following is a
summary of the President's Message
"It is asserted that satisfactory explanations have
been given by the British Government of the real nature
and object of the recent movements in relation to the
fisheries of the north-east coast, and a desire is ex-
pressed that new arrangements, in regard to these
fisheries, should, if possible, be made between the two
countries, redounding to their mutual advantage. The
effort, it is admitted, would be attended with difficulties ;
but yet, there being a sincere desire on both sides, it
is not unlikely to prove successful. Reference is made
to the recent unpleasant occurrences affecting commer-
cial intercourse with Cuba. They are spoken of an
comprising acts of which the United States' have a right
to complain, and it is stated that the refusal of the
Captain-General to allow passengers and the mails to
be landed in certain cases, for a reson which does not
furnish, in the opinion of the Government, even a good
presumptive ground for such a prohibition, has been
made the subject of a serious remonstrance at Madrid.'
" In connexion with this matter, the interesting fact
is-presented that the United States Government in the
early part of the present year was officially invited by
England and France to become a party with these
Powers to a Tripartite Convention, binding themselves
against an acquisition at any future time of Cuba by any
of the three, and that the invitation was respectfully de-
clined. Yet strong, and it is believed valid objections
were then urged against any attempt to incorporate
Cuba into the Union.

" The. differences between the Government and
Mexico, in regard to the Tehuantepec route, are acknow-
ledged to be embarrassing, but it is hoped they will be
satisfactorily adjusted.
" A similar hope is expressed in regard to the Nicara-
guan difficulty.

- " Venezuela, it is stated, has acknowledgedimportalat
claims of citizens of the United States.
" Steps have been taken to obtain commercial access
to the extensive countries watered by the tributaries of
La Plata.

"In regard to the Lobos Islands, it is fairly and
honourably admitted that further investigation has re-
moved all doubt of the title of Peru to a sovereignty
over them.

"Reference is made to the Japan expedition, and its
object is distinctly declared to be the procurement of a
relaxation of the unhospitable and anti-social system
which Japan has pursued for about two centuries, and to
be altogether peaceful and friendly in its nature.
"The domestic affairs of the country are represented
as very satisfactory. The revenues of the country sire
in an unusually prosperous state.
"The President again urges the strong facts and argu-
ments in favour of the revision of the present tariff, so as
to prevent frauds, and better protect the industry of the
country. Whatever disposition of this matter may be
made by Congress, the Executive has fully acquitted it-
self of all its duties in regard to it. The injurious ope-
ration of the present law, it would seem, is too manifest
to be either denied or tolerated.

" The general condition of Indian affairs is believed to
be improving. In regard to the Mexican boundary com-
mission, it is stated that the survey of the Gila has been
completed, but that the survey of the Rio Grande has been
suspended in consequence of defects in the existing law.
The efforts during the year to restrain the incursions of
the Indians into Mexico, it is said, have been unusually
successful.

"The Message closes with a clear and powerful vindi-
cation by the President as to his adhering in all great
essentials to the liberal conservative policy laid down by
the fathers of the Republic"
