Washington Correspondence.
WAsHISeToN, Jan. 5, 1888.
very important communication was received this
morning from the President Of the United States in
closing letter from the marshal Of the northern dis
trict Of New York. The President complains of the
ineciency Of the laws to restrain our citizens from
aiding the Canadian insurgents-cals the attention
of Congress to the defect Of the laws on the subject
recommends an early revision of them, and to be
vested with fuller powers TO preserve our neutrality
and the harmony which should exist between foreign
nations and the United States both on the northern
and southern frontier.
The marshal states the condition in which the
northern frontier is placed at presented his inability
10 preserve neutrality and restrain the citizens of
the United States from taking part in the conflict
existing in Canada-thai the force on Navy Island
is estimated l000 and that McNabbs force is es,i-
mated at 2500, and is daily increasing by sccessions
OF men, arms, and munitions of war-that McNabb
informs him that, if the American volunteers could
be prevented from joining the insurgents the matter
could be settled without the effusion of blood, &c.
This is the substance Of the message of the Presi-
dent, and the communication Of the marshal Of the
northern district Of New York In the Senate after
the message was read, Mr. Clay arose and expressed
his satisfaction that the Executive had last deemed
his duty TO call the attention Of Congress TO this i'm
porant subject and while he thought that was due 10
the character Of the nation to prevent Its citizens
from violating the neutra relations between the
two countries he hoped the committee TO whom the
subject might be referred, would also consider il as
their duty to inquire if any foreign nations had been
guilty OF violation of these relations on their part
that il was time the northern boundary line should be
determined-and that the disputed territory should no
longer serve a highway for the transportation Of
armies, munitions &c. Mr. Norvcl, of Michigan,
complmen,ed Mr.. Clay on the truths he had altered
and hoped the committee wonld also extend their in
quires 10 the southern well rs the northern From
tier. Mr.. Davis also expressed his appreciation Of the
sentiments Of Mr.. Clay-dwelt at some length on the
injurious delay in the settlement Of the northern
boundary, which, he said, he had been for two years
anxious to have adiused-and expressed desire that
the committee would take that question also into
consideration. The message was finally referred to
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
In the House, after the message was read, Mr.. Fill
more, OF New York, asked the consent Of lhe House
to offer resolution requesting the Executive to COM
municate whether The neutrality of the two nations
had been violated by foreign powers, and that he
might also be permitted TO state some facts which
had just come to his knowledge. The House, how
ever, refused to grant permission, and the message
