Special Message.
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
October, 10, 1852.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives.
Although l am fully aware that your legislative
labors for the present session. are Just drawing to
a close, and you naturally anxious to return to
your families, feel bound to invite your attention
to subject of great and increasing interest, and
to recommend such action in regard to the same,
as in your judgements may be best adapted to the
extraordinary exigency, which would seem to have
arisen. Every mail which reaches us, brings ad-
dtional intelligence of settled determination on
the part of the Spanish Authorities of the Island
of CUBA to violate the rights of our citizens
as guarded and guaranteed by solemn treaty stp-
ulations, deliberately entered into by the Govern
ment of Spain and that of the United States 1t
was only the other day that passengers in the
Crescent City, steamship carrying the United
States Mail, and commanded by United States
Officers, were refused the privilege Of landing at
Havana under circumstances of most aggravated
insult.
A still later instance of outrage is understood
to have occurred in the case of the Barque Cor
della, all the particulars of which are not neces-
sary to be specified, though it is perhaps proper
to mention that her mails acre opened and eramin-
ed, and taro Of her passengers carried back to Ha
ydnG and thrown into prison, and the vessel con-
strained to leave the port and return to New York
without them. 1t is not my purpose, on this oc-
casiOn, to say anything at all calculated unduly tc
inAame the popular mind of the country Still
less am inclined to instigate the Legislature tc
the adoption of any hasty or ill-considered meas
ures The whole subject viii doubtless be imme
diatey looked into by the President of the United
States and his constitutional advisers, and can
not but confidently hope that such steps will be
promptly taken by then as may effectually vindi
cate the honor of the nation and secure the rights
of our citizens. | venture to suggest the adop
ton of temperate but strong resolutions. declara
tive of the firm determination of the goyernmen
and people of this State, to yield cordial supper
to such just and constitutional measures, as ma,
be resorted to by the authorities in Washington 70

fed. II. S. FOOTE.

Daniel Webster:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
Monday Morning, October 25, 1852.
GENTLEMEN The painful intelligence received
Yesterday enforces upon me the sad duty of an
nouncing to the Executive Departments the death
of the Secretary of State. Daniel Webster died
at Marshfeld, in Massachusetts, on Sunday, the
Gath of October, between two and three O'Clock in
the morning.
Whilst this irreparable loss bring It's natural
sorrow to every American heart, and will be heard,
far beyond or borders, with mourHful respect
wherever civilization has nurtured men who fad
in transcendant intellect and faithful patriotic SER
vice theme for praise, it will visit with still more
poignant emotion his colleagues in the Admins
tration with whom his relations have been so in
innate and so cordial.
The fame of our illuStrious statesman belongs
to his country; the admiration of it to the
world. The record of his wisdom will inform flu
ture generations, notess than its utterance has en-
lightened the present. Hehas bequeathed to pos
terty the richest fruits of the experience and udg
ment of great mind conversant with the great
est national concerns. In these his memory will
endure as long as our country shall continue to
be the home and guardian of freemen.
The people will share with the Executive De-
partments in the common grief which bewails his
departure from amongst US.
In the preston of individual regret at this affic
ing event, the Executive Departments of the Gov
ernment will be careful to manifest every observ-
ance of honor which custom has established as ap-
propriate to the memory of one so eminent as g
public functionary, and so distinguished as a citi
zen.
The Acting Secretary of State will communi
cate this sad intelligence to the Diplomatic Corp:
near this Government, and through our Ministers
abroad to Foreign Governments.
The members of the Cabinet are requested a.
further testimony of respect for the deceased t.
wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days
