THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH).

By the Royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain
Ryrie, vrhich has just arrived in the Mersey, we
have advices from New York to the 33 inst.

The President's Message was delivered on Tues-
day, the 2d.
The President complains that certain Cubans re•
silent i❑ the United States have a second time made

that country the scene for the equipment of military
expeditions against the possetsions of her Spanish
Majesty.
Too severe a judgment, says the Message, cannot
be passed upon those who by fraudulent representa-
tions led these thoughtless young men into peril and
disgrace. Though the invaders had forfeited the
protection of their country, no proper efforts had
been, or will be, spared to obtain the release of those
now in confinement, for the sake of their families and
friends.

The President advocates adherence to our new
neutrality and non-intervention policy. Our true
mission, he says, is not to propagate our opinions, to
impose upon other contries our form of government
by artifices of force, but to teach by example, and
show by our success, moderation, and justice the
blessings of self-government and the advantages of
free institutions.
The correspondence with England and France re-
specting the invasion of Cuba is referred to and sub-
mitted.

It maintains the principle on the part of the
United States, that in every regularly documented
merchant vessel the crew who navigate it and those
on board of it will find their protection in the flag that
is over them.
No American vessel can be allowed to be visited or
searched for the purpose of ascertaining the character
of individuals on board, nor can there be allowed any
watch by the vessels of any foreign nations over Ame-
rican vessels on the coast of the United States, or seas
adjacent thereto.

The reference to Kussuth is brief.
In a communication to the Department of State, be
has presented his acknowledgments for the interposi-

tion of the Government, and Congress is recommended
to consider in what manner he and his companions,
brought hither by its authority, shall be received and
treated.

The aggregate receipts for the last fiscal year were
dolls. 52,312,979 87, with the balance on hand at the
commencement, making the means of the Treasury
for the year dolls. 58,917,524 36, against dolls,
48,005,878 66.

The imports of the year ending June 30, 1851,
were dolls. 215,725,995, of which dolls. 4,967,901
were in specie.

The exports were dolls. 217,517,130, of which
dolls. 57,854,655 55 were domestic, and dolls.
9,738,695 foreign produc ts.
Specie exported, dolls. 29,231,880 since December
last.

The payments'of principal of the debt were dolls.
7,501,456 56, which is inclusive of dolls. 3,242,400
paid under the 12th article of the treaty with Mexico,
and dollq. 2,591,212 45 awards under the late treaty
with Mexico.

The public debt, exclusive of stock authorized to be
issued for Texas, was dolls. 62,560,395 26.

The receipts for the next fiscal year are estimated
at dolls. 51,800,000, making, with the balance on
hand, the available means of the year, dolls.
63,258,743 00.

The expenditure is estimated at dolls. 528,922,991
91, of which dolls. 33,343,198 is for ordinary pur-
poses of Government, and dolls. 9,549,101 11 for
purposes consequent upon the acquisition of territory
from Mexico.

It is estimated that there will be an unappropriated
balance of dolls. 20,366,443 90 in the Treasury on
the 30th of June, 1853, to dulls. 362,379,313 51
public debt on the Ist of July following.
The value of the domestic exports for the year
ending June 30, 1851, show an increase of doll 9.
43,646,322, which is owing to the high price of cotton
during the first half of the year, and the price of
which has since declined one-half.

The value of the exports of breadstufis is only
dolls. 21,958,623, against dolls. 26,051,363 in 1850,
and dolls. 68,701,921 in 1847, our largest year of ex-
port in that department of trade ; in rice the decrease
as compared with last year in the exports is dolls.
460,917, which, with the decrease in the value of
to

IS'acco exported, makes an aggregate decrease in the
second articles of 1,156,751. From these premises
the President draws a conclusion that the favourable
result anticipated by the advocates of free trade from
the adoption of that policy has not been realised.
The Africa brings dolls. 1,425,000 in specie on
freight. _ _

The steam-ship Cherokee arrived at New York on
the 29th ult., with advices from San Francisco, to the
Ist ult., and dolls. 2,265,506 in specie on freight.

of war Express at San Juan, in consequence, as it is
stated, of trying to evade the payment of certain har-
bour dues, &c.

The news from California is of the most cheering
character.
