They entered upon Sbeir duties and at tue date of the latest Satelligenes from that quarter. some pro- xrsss had been made in the survey. The ex- penses incident to the organization ofthe commission, and its conveyance to the point N hsse its operations were to- begin. have so much reduced the fund. appropriated by Congress, that a 6arthen sum, to, cover the charges. which must be incurred during the present fiscal year. will be- necessary. The great length of frontier along which the boundary extends, the nature of the adja- cent territory, and the difficulty of obtain ncy supplies, except at or near the extreme eff the line, render it almost indispensable that a, liberal provision should be made. to meet the necessary charges during the fiscal wear. ending on the 3Oth June. 1851. ] ac- sordingly recommend this subject to your attention.
 In the adjustment ofthe claims of Amer Scan citizens in Mexico, provided for by the hte treaty, the employment of counsel on the, part of the Government. may become aaportant for the purpose of assisting the commissioners in protecting the interests of ths United, States. recommend this sub- feet to,the,saslF and favorable consideration. of Congress-
 Complaints have been made in regard to the ineHiciency of the means provided by the government of New Grenada for traIs- \ porting the United States mail across the Y fsthn sis of Panama, pursuant to our postal Convention with that republic on the 9th sE NtsEotl, Eo E4: = Bopota has. been directed to make such rsP- raseentstions to the government of New Gre- nala. as will it is hoped. lead to 'a Rrompt s ga- M he sangninary civil war which the Re. public of Venezuela has for some time past been ravaged, has been brought to. close. In it's progress the rights of some of our cit izens resident or trading there have been violated. The restoration of Border will af- ford the Venezuelan government an oppor- tunity to examine and redress these griev- ances and others of longer standing, which cur representatives at Caraccas have hither- to intellectually urged upon the attention of that Government.
 The extention of the coast of the United States on the Pacific, and the unexampled rapidity with which the inhabitants of Cali fornia. especially. are increasing in numbers E, have impapted new consequence to our re- X, lations with.the other countries whose teri ' tories border upon that ocean. hisproba- ble that the intercourse between those countries and our possessions in-that quar- ter. particularly with the Republic of Chili, 1 wilt become extensive ard mutually advan- sageans in proportion as California and Oregon shall increase in population and wealth. It is desirable. therefore. that this government should do. every thing in it's power to foster and strengthen its relations with those States. and that the spirit of am- ay between us should be mutual and cordial. lrecommend the observance of tho same course towards all other American States. The United States stand as. the great American power to which they naturally, ss an ally and friend. will always be dispo- sed. first, to look for mediation and assist- ance. in the event of any collision between them and any European nation. As such. we nav often kindly mediate in their be- iss4se. Vi ssha..ts es.tangling ourselves in for aiga Wars or unnecessary controversies. Whenever the faith of our treaties with any of them shall require our interference. we must necessarily interpose.
