of the absence of the Belgian Minister


Iof Foreign Affairs at the importan
. conferences in " hich this Government
: lis engaged at London.
i That treatJ does not em5ody those
. enlarged principles Of friendly policy
7 which, II IS sincerely hoped, will al
J ways regulate the conduct Of the tive
) nations, having such strong motives Il
MAINTAIN amicable relations towards
each other. and so sincerely deslrous t.
cherish them.
! With all the other European pow
Iers with whom the United States have
formed diplomatic relations, and with
the Sublime Porte, the best understan
ding prevails. From all, | continue
to receive assurances of good will to
wards the United States, assurances
which ii gives me no less pleasure to
Ieciprocate than to receive. With all.
the engagements which have been en-
tered into are fulfilled with good faith
on both SIDES. Measures have also
been taken to enlarge OUT friendly re-
latlons aad extend our commercial in
tercourse with other States. The sys-
tenn we have pursued Of aiming at no
exclusive advantages, Of dealing with,
all or terms of fair and equal recipro-
city, and of adhering scrupulou>ly to
all our engagements, is we'll calcul.
ted to give success to efforts intended
to be mutually beneficial.
The wars IF winch the southern part
Iof tins continent was, so loag. the the

by the mother country against the
States which had formerly been her
colonies, or by the State against each
other, having terminated, and their CT.
wi dissenslons having so far suosided,
as, with few exceptions, no longer 10
disturb the public tranquility, 1t IS car
.nestly hoped those States will be able
to employ themselves without inter
ruP;ion in perfecting their institutions,
.'ultiva,i"g the arts OF peace, and pro.
noting, by wise councils and able ex-
ertions. the public and private prosper
ity with thelt patriotic struggles SO
vel! cntltle them to e.Joy.
With those States our relations have
undergone but little change durlug
the present year. reunion having
yet taken place between the States
which composed the Republic OF CO.
