The injury TO the commerce of the United States re
sung from the exclusion of vessels from the Blscn
and the previous footing of mere suherance upon
which even the Limited trade enjoyed by us with Tur-
key has hitherto been placed have, for a long time
been source OF much solicitude to this Government
and several endeavors have been made obtain better
state OF things. Sensible Of the importance Of the OBJ
iect, felt il my duty to leave no proper means uneu
poyed TO acquire for flag the same privileges that
are enjoyed by the principal Powers of Europe Com
mssioners WERE consequently appointed to open ne
gocaiion with the Sublime Porte. Not long after the
member OF the commission who went directly from the
United states had sailed the account of the treaty of
Adrianople by which of the objects in view was
supposed TO be secured, reached this country The
Black Sea was understood to be opened to US Under
the supposion that this the case the additional ia
cites TO be derived from the establishment of com.
mercal regulations with the Porte were deemed Of suc
citation as originally contemplated. IL was therefore
persevered in, and resulted in treaty. which will be
forth with laid before the Senate
by its provisions, free passage is secured without
limitation OF time TO the vessels of the United States to
and from the Black Sea, including the navigation there
oi; and our trade with Turkey is placed on the footing
OF the most favored nation. The latter is an arrange
ment wholly Independent Of the treaty of Adrianope;
and the former derives much value not only from the
increased security which, under any circumstances IL
would give to the right in question: but from the fact
ascertaned in the course oil the negotiation that by the
construction put upon that treaty by Turkey the article
relating to the passage OF the Bosphorous is confined In
nations having treaties with the Porte The most Eien
y feelings appear to be entertained by the Sultan and
enlightened disposition is evinced by him TO foster
the intercourse between the countries by the most
liberal arrangements. This disposition n will he orr
duty and interest TO cherish.
