THURSDAY, January Is.

lhohsbaf, January rs.
The following message was received from H.
President of the United States, by Mr. Ereon
his Secretary:
70 the Senate ofMe United States.
In compliance with two resolutions Of the Sen.
ate the first the 2fst and tic second ofthe 95l
December last, requesting information respect.
ing the injuries Which have been sustained hy
our citizens, by pratlcal dcprcdations, and otlar
details connected herewith and REQUESTING alo
information Of the measures which have been 4.
dopted for the suppression of piracy, and whctb.
CT, in the opinion ofthe Executive, it will not be
necessary TO adopt other means for the accom-.
plshment OF the objects and in that event, wh,t
other means it will be most advisable TO rccurto
herewith transmit report from the Secretary
of the State, and likewise report from the Sc.
rotary ofthe Navy, with the documents refer.
red to iii each.
On the very important questions submittc %
the Executive, rs to the necessity of recurring. 10
other more clicctual means for the Suppression
OF practice so destructive Of the lives anl iron
crty Of our citizens, have TO observe that thgee
eNpctIents occur: one BY the pursuit Of III.
offenders to the settled as well as lie unsettled
parts Of the Island from whence they issue. All.
other by reprisal on the property of the ahsb.
itants; and third, by the blockade Of he ports
OF those islands. Ii will be obvious that neither
amity with Spain, otherwise than in inn cliff
that neither the government of Spain, nor Ii.
government Of either Of the islands, has the pow.
or to suppress that atrociots practice, and that
the United States intcrposc their aid for the &C.
accomplishment of an object Which is of equal i'm.
portance to them as well rs to us. Acting on
this principle, the facts which Justify this
proceeding being universally known and
felt BY all engaged in commerce in that sea, it
may fairly be presumed, that neither will the
governments of Spain, nor the government of ci-
Their ofthcsc islands, complain of resort to si-
tier OF those measures, or to all of them shoed
such resort be necessary. 1t is, therefore, sllg.
gcsted, that power commensurate with either
resource be granted 10 the Executive, to be ey-
crclscd according to his discretion, and as circum
stances may impcrously require. II is hoped
that the manifestation Of policy so decisive
will produce the happiest result; that it will nd
these seas and this hemisphere of this practice.
This hope is strengthened by the belief, that the
government Of Spain and the government Of the
Islands, particularly of Cuba, whose chief is
known here, viii faithfully cooperate in such
measures rs may be necessary for the accom-
plish,nent Of this very important object. TO Sc
cure such cooperation, will be the earnest de-
sire, and, Of course, the Jealous and perscverng
effort OF the Executive
