from Mr. Thompson the Minister of the United
States, who has promptly and efficiently execu-
ted the instructions of his Government, in re-
gard to this important subject.
The citizens of the United States who ac-
companed the late Texan expedition TO Santa
Fe, and who were wronoiulv taken and held
as prisoners of war in Mexico, have all been
liberated
A correspondence has taken place between
the Department of State and the Mexican Min
lister of Foreign Affairs. upon the complaint of
Mexico that citizens ofthe United States were
permitted to give aid to the Inhabitants Of Tex
as, in the war existing between her and that
Republic Copies of this correspondence are
herewith communicated to Congress, together
with copies of letters On the same subject, ad-
dressed to the Diplomatic corps at Mexico, by
the American Minister and the Mexican Secre-
tary of State.
Mexico has thought proper to reciprocate the
mission of the United States TO that Government
by accrediting to this Minister of the same
rank as that Of the Representative of the United
States in Mexico. From the circumstances
connected with his mission. favorable results
are anticipated from it, 1t is SO obviously for
the interest Of both countries as neighhors and
friends that all just causes olmutual dissatstac
ton should be removed, that it is to be hoped
neither will omit or delay the employment OF
any practicable and honorable means to accom-
plish that end
The affairs pending between this Government
and several others of the States of this hems-
phere formerly under the dominion of Spain,
have again, within the past year, been material
ly obstructed by the military revolutions and
conflicts in those countries.
The ratIications of the Treaty between the
United States and the Republic of Ecuador, of
~ oh DF j,n bov
and that instrument has been duly promulgated
on the part of this Government. Copies are
now communicated to Congress with a view to
enable that body to make such charges in the
laws applicable to our intercourse with that
Republic, as NAV be deemed requisite
Provision has been made by the government
of Chile for the payment of the claim on ac-
count of the Illegal detention of the brig War
rior at Coquimbo, in 1920 This government
has reason to expect that other claims OF our
citizens against Chile, will be fastened to
final and satisfactory close.
The Empire of Brazil has not been altogether
exempt from those convulSions which con-
stantiy afflict the neighboring republics. Dis
turbances which recently broke out are, how
ever, now understood to be quieled But these
occurrences, by threatening the stability of the
Governments, or by causing inceSsant or vio-
lent changes in them, or in the persons who ad-
minister them, tend greatly 10 retafd provisions
for Just indemnity for losses and injuries sui-
fered by individual subjects or citizens OF other
States The Government of the United States
will feel it to be It's duty, however to consent
to no delay not unavoidable in making satisfac-
ton for wrongs and injuries sustained by its
own citizens. Many years having. in some ca
ses elapsed, a decisive and effeciual course OF
proceeding will be demanded of the respective
,,loS hnHO kno
preferred.
The vexatious, harassing and expensive war
which so long prevailed with the Indian tribes
inhabiting the peninsula of Florida, has happily
been terminated whereby our army has been
relieved from a service of the most dsagreeable
character, and the Treasury from large eX-
penditure Some casual outbreaks may occur,
such as are incident to the close proximity of
border settlers and the Indians; but these, as in
all other cases. NAV be left to the cafe of the
local authorities; aided, when occasion may re-
quire, by the forces of the u. States suffi-
cient number of troops Will be maintained in
Florida, so long as the remoest apprehenslons
of danger shall exist, yet their duties will be
limited rather to the garrisonlns OF the neces-
sarv posts, than to the maintenance of active
hostilites, 1t is to be hoped that territory, so
long retarded in lis growth, will now speedily
recover from the evils incident TO a protracted
war, exhibiting, in the increased amount of its
rich productions, true evidences oil returning
wealth and prosperity. By the practice of rigid
Justice towards the numerous Indian tribes re-
siding within our territorial limits, and the ex-
ercse of parental vigilance over their inter
estS, protecting them against fraud and lniru-
sion, and at the same time using every proper
expedient TO introduce among them the arts OF
civilized liier we may fondly hope not only TO
weap them from their love oi war, but to inspire
them with a love for peace and all It's avoca-
tions. With several of the tribes great pro-
gress in civilzmg them has already been made.
