you in Parliament, and TO have the oppor.
tuniiy Of recurring to your assistance and
advice.
continue 10 receive from my allies,
and from other foreign Powers, the strong
est assurances of the desire to cultivate
most friendly relations with this country.

peror of Russia, and through the success
Of our Joint mediation, have been ena-
bIed 10 adjust the differences which had
long prevailed between the Ottoman Porte
and the King OF Persia, and had seriously
endangered The tranquility of the East.
For several years desolating and san

am endeayoring 10 effect pacification of
those States.
1t is my desire that our present union,
and the good understanding which SO hap
PLY exists between us, may always be
employed to promote the interests Of hui
manity, and TO secure tho peace Of the
world.

Great Britain and the United States, in
respect Of the territory on the North
Western Coast Of America, although they
have been made the subject oil repeated
negotiation, still remain unsettled.
You may be assured that no effort con.
sistent with national honor, shall be want
in on my part TO bring this question TO an
early. and peaceful termination.

public service, and TO the state OF our ma
val and military establishments, TO pro-
pose some increase in the estimates which
provides for that efficiency.

my assent to the measures which you
have presented 10 me from time to time,
calculated to extend commerce, and 10
stimulate domestic skill and industry, by
the repeal Of prohibi:ory and the relaxa-
ton Of protective duties.
The prosperous state Of the revonue,
the increased demand for labor, and the 60
neral Improvement which has taken place
